DISPLACEMENT TRACKING MATRIX TYPHOON MANGKHUT SITE ASSESSMENT

PRELIMINARY RESULTS PHILIPPINES — Region I, Region II and CAR 21 SEPTEMBER 2018

As a response to the displacements caused by the Typhoon Mangkhut that hit the Northern Philippines on the 16th of September, the Internat iona l Organization for Migration (IOM), deployed its Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) programme in Regions I, II, III and Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) . The objective of the DTM is to collect information on the locations and needs of the population displaced by the Typhoon and to provide key information to support the humanitarian assistance to the most affected populations. This report provides the main findings of the DTM assessments that were conducted in the Region I, Region II and CAR from 17th to the 20th of September.

The assessments were conducted by field teams composed of IOM staff in coordination with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and relevant local government counterparts. The DTM teams collected information on 48 sites through key informants’ interviews.

This information complements existing data and reports shared by DSWD on displacement.

According to the information collected on the field, many Internally Displaced Persons living in evacuation centers decided to return home or to seek refuge with host families and friends in search of better living conditions.

LIST OF EVACUATION CENTERS ASSESSED BY IOM

  In Cagayan province (Region II - Cagayan Valley), all 19 sites assessed by IOM were closed. According to the Government data released on the 21st of September, only one  evacuation center remains open in the province.1 In Ilocos Norte (Region I - Ilocos Region) all the centers visited by IOM were closed and the Government confirmed that no evacuation centers are currently open in the region. In Benguet (Cordillera Administrative Region), out of the 18 sites visited by IOM, 10 are still open. This is due to the fact that people can’t return home due to floods and landslides. According to the Government estimates, they are currently 45 collective centers in Benguet.   As the situation continues to evolve quickly, IOM will carry out regular assessments in Region I and CAR to gather information on IDPs’ needs and better understand the displacement dynamics in host communities.
