OPERATIONAL STRATEGY REVISION
This revised Operational Strategy expands the operation from a single-province, earthquake-focused response to a multiple-province, multi-hazard intervention addressing the combined impacts of the Cebu earthquake, Typhoon Tino, and additional typhoons expected in this season. The scale-up prioritises integrated assistance – covering shelter and livelihoods, health, and WASH, to address rapidly rising and urgent needs among temporarily displaced populations and the hardest-hit communities, aligning with the current EA Operational Strategy and driving the expanded caseload. These interventions will substantially expand geographic coverage and reach more people, tailored to the specific disaster context and damage patterns in each area. The operation also broadens recovery programming, strengthens nationwide Shelter Cluster coordination, and reinforces the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) and International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) technical and support services, surge capacity, and chapter-level readiness. Reflecting this significant scaleup in scope, sectors, and complexity, the overall Federation-wide funding requirement has increased from CHF 8 million to CHF 18 million, while the IFRC Secretariat’s funding requirement has risen from CHF 5.5 million to CHF 15.5 million.
The target number of individuals to be assisted has also increased, rising from 72,940 to 284,904.
