WIKIPEDIA - TYPHOON HAIYAN

Typhoon Haiyan (known in the Philippines as Typhoon Yolanda) is the second-deadliest Philippine typhoon on record, killing at least 5,235 people

The thirtieth named storm of the 2013 Pacific typhoon season, Haiyan originated from an area of low pressure several hundred kilometers east-southeast of Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia on 2 November. Tracking generally westward, environmental conditions favored tropical cyclogenesis and the system developed into a tropical depression the following day. After becoming a tropical storm and attaining the name Haiyan at 0000 UTC on 4 November, the system began a period of rapid intensification that brought it to typhoon intensity by 1800 UTC on November 5. By 6 November, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) assessed the system as a Category 5-equivalent super typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale; the storm passed over the island of Kayangel in Palau shortly after attaining this strength. it continued to intensify; at 1200 UTC on 7 November the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) upgraded the storm's maximum ten-minute sustained winds to 235 km/h (145 mph), the highest in relation to the cyclone. At 1800 UTC, the JTWC estimated the system's one-minute sustained winds to 315 km/h (195 mph), unofficially making Haiyan the fourth most intense tropical cyclone ever observed. On the morning of 8 November, category 5 Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Yolanda) made a direct hit on the Philippines, a densely populated country of 92 million people, devastating areas in 36 provinces. The eye of the cyclone made its first landfall in the Philippines at Guiuan, Eastern Samar, without any change in intensity.

AFFECTED AREA: Regions VIII (Eastern Visayas), VI (Western Visayas) and VII (Central Visayas) are hardest hit, according to current information. Regions IV-A (CALABARZON), IV-B (MIMAROPA), V (Bicol), X (Northern Mindanao), XI (Davao) and XIII (Caraga) were also affected. Tacloban City, Leyte province, with a population of over 200,000 people, has been devastated, with most houses destroyed. An aerial survey revealed almost total destruction in the coastal areas of Leyte province. AFFECTED POPULATION: 2,145,359 families (9,996,065 persons) in nine regions—over 10 percent of the country’s population—are affected

• Top health conditions reported are acute respiratory infections, injuries and

wounds, fever, diarrhea, hypertension, asthma and insomnia, as well as chronic conditions.

• The risk of outbreaks of diarrheal diseases and measles is substantial given the lack of safe water and sanitation, displacement and overcrowding, and sub-optimal vaccination coverage.

Communities are in need of better shelter, nutrition and clean water to prevent a further spread of acute respiratory infections in the coming months. As foreign medical teams that have focused on trauma injuries begin to leave the country, gaps will occur for basic health care. Operational health facilities are reportedly overstretched, and there is still overall poor coverage of services in particular along the Eastern coast of Samar and Cebu.

At a meeting on Friday evening, 22 NOV 2013, where representatives of several dozen domestic and foreign medical groups described the biggest single public health problem to emerge since the typhoon is acute respiratory infections, including pneumonia which have been attributed to lack of shelter, poor weather, and lack of clothing (NYT)

• Two leptospirosis deaths have been verified: A 22-year-old male from Tacloban City and a 58-year-old male from Palo, Leyte

• DOH confirms that there have been a number of tetanus cases. Those verified were all males whose ages ranged from 19 to 60 years. One came from Tolosa, Leyte and the rest from Tacloban. All of them are alive. A team of medical experts from the San Lazaro Hospital in Manila was deployed to Tacloban to attend to typhoon victims who contracted tetanus,

Cases of acute malnutrition continue to rise. Tacloban: 9 severe and 19 moderate; Eastern Visayas Region: 7 moderate and 9 severe

VACCINATION CAMPAIGN: On November 22, the vaccination campaign was officially launched. The Department of Health has requested support for their Vaccination program, covering measles, tetanus and polio in children, TB (BCG) and Hepatitis B for newborns, and for influenza and pneumococcal within the elderly. The lack of consistent power is affecting the rapid scale up of these processes as it hinders establishment of sufficient cold chain capacity.

MATERNAL HEALTH: An estimated 389,500 pregnant and lactating women need specialized services for prenatal, postnatal, child health, health promotion and family planning. Daily, an estimated 865 births take place in the affected communities. About 129 of these will have potentially life-threatening complications

Medical consults conducted in selected evacuation centers (Astrodome, Dulag, EVRMC, Phil. Science High School, San Jose, Tanauan) revealed the following: • From November 9 to 16, 2013 is 1112 cases were seen.

• The top five cases identified were: punctured/lacerated wound,

influenza like illness, acute gastroenteritis, upper respiratory tract infection, and fever. Punctured/lacerated wounds (186) are highest among adults,

• Influenza-like Illness (92), acute gastroenteritis (78), upper respiratory tract infection (69) and fever (24) are highest among children.

Tanauan Evacuation Center appears to be the evacuation center with the highest number of cases.

For the period November 13-21, 2013, Eastern Visayas Medical Center reported the following services: 1,524 ER consultations, 1,795 OPD consultations and 1,352 total in- patient census and 350 operations. The top 5 leading causes of consultation are:

1. Trauma/typhoon related injuries 2. Respiratory tract infection 3. Acute gastro enteritis 4. Hypertension 5. Skin disease.

A total of 100 patient given prophylaxis for leptospirosis and 18 tetanus toxoid in November 21.

SURVEILLANCE: The disease surveillance system in the affected areas has been disrupted by the typhoon as many of the reporting sites have ben destroyed. Systems for disease monitoring have been activated, but are hampered:

• Damaged communications infrastructure, introducing latency in reporting

• A shortage of trained staff • Poor internet connections

Surveillance in Post Extreme Emergencies and Disasters (SPEED), an emergency disease surveillance system, has been activated. SPEED is an early warning disease surveillance system for post-disaster situations launched by the GPH Department of Health and U.N. World Health Organization in 2010. The aim of the system is to determine early and potential disease outbreaks and monitor disease trends.

AS OF 25 NOV 2013: DOH TEAMS - 75 LOCAL TEAMS- 23 FOREIGN TEAMS: – 60

EASTERN VISAYAS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER has remained to be operational and being augmented by teams from DOH medical team from Metro Manila. Admitted patients for the period of Nov. 20-25 are the following: ER consultation 1, 524, OPD 1,795, surgery 357 and psychosocial 571.

Medical Team and MHPSS team were deployed at VILLAMOR AIRBASE to conduct triaging and psychosocial services to arriving typhoon Yolanda survivors from Tacloban. A total of 3,070 OPD consultations and 885 psychosocial services were done for the period Nov. 15-24.

CURRENT ASSESSMENT – PUBLIC HEALTH AND MEDICAL

The National Power Corporation (Napocor) says it may take three months to contain the oil spill from a NAPOCOR barge along the waters of Barangay Botongan, Estancia, Iloilo at the height of super typhoon Yolanda.

DESCRIPTION Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition that develops deep in the lung and is usually caused by infection from viruses or bacteria. It is spread through tiny particles of air coughed or exhaled by infected persons. People can become ill with pneumonia by coming in contact with infected individuals or with organisms in the air or on contaminated surfaces. Despite advancements in treatment, pneumonia remains a leading cause of death worldwide.

RISK FACTORS People most at risk for developing pneumonia are the very young, the very old, and those with certain chronic conditions such as lung disease or immune disorders such as HIV. Additional risk factors that put a person at increased risk of pneumonia are poor nutrition, poor sanitation and hygiene practices, living in impoverished and/or overcrowded areas.

SYMPTOMS The symptoms usually start 2-10 days after coming into contact with the causative organisms. Some of the common symptoms include: • Sudden onset • High fever • Shaking chills • Chest pain • Cough producing phlegm • Difficulty breathing

HIGHLIGHT BRIEF-PNEUMONIA

TREATMENT • Oral or intravenous antibiotics are the treatment of choice. • Breathing support (oxygen masks, ventilation, etc.) may be needed

for those showing signs that they are not getting enough oxygen in the blood (difficulty breathing, rapid breathing, blue discoloration of the lips or fingertips, etc.).

CURRENT SITUTATION • At a meeting on Friday, 22 Nov 2013, representatives of several

dozen domestic and foreign medical groups described the biggest single public health problem to emerge since the typhoon as acute respiratory infections, including pneumonia which have been attributed to lack of shelter, poor weather, and lack of clothing.

RECOMMENDATIONS • Wash hands with antimicrobial soap and water or by using

alcohol-based waterless gels. If hands have been in contact with mucus or other secretions, use soap and water only.

• Wear gloves and masks when dealing with people/patients with cough or other warning signs of respiratory (lung) illness.

• Change clothes if soiled with mucus or other secretions.

CDC – Pneumococcal Disease American Family Physician – Pneumonia Doctors Without Borders Mayo Clinic

DESCRIPTION • Malnutrition is caused by inadequate or unbalanced nutrition. • Malnutrition is the largest single contributor to disease according to the

UN’s Standing Committee on Nutrition (SCN). • Inhibits physical and mental development in children and can cause

mental retardation if severe at an early age • Can cause women to give birth to low birth-weight babies

RISK FACTORS • Illness or disease is often a factor of malnutrition either as a result or a

contributing cause • Poor food choice, lack of food availability, or lack of nutritional food (even

if people get enough to eat, can cause malnourishment if the food does not provide the proper nutrients)

• Injuries to the face or nerve damage to the muscles that control chewing and/or swallowing

SYMPTOMS • Length of time to develop malnutrition depends on the severity of the

lack of nutrients • There are a wide range of symptoms depending on the vitamin or mineral

that is deficient: • Weight loss • Thin or bloated body • Pale, thick, and dry skin • Bruises • Rashes • Thin hair that is tightly curled and pulls out easily • Achy joints • Gums bleed easily • Swollen or shriveled and cracked tongue • Night blindness • Increased sensitivity to light and glare

HIGHLIGHT BRIEF- MALNUTRITION

TREATMENT • Increase quality and quantity of food intake • Nutrient supplementation • People who cannot or will not eat may be fed intravenously or by a tube

inserted directly into the gastrointestinal tract

CURRENT SITUTATION • The first cases of acute malnutrition have been diagnosed. • Eastern Visayas region: 16 cases (7 moderate and 9 severe) of acute

malnutrition • Cases also reported from the hospital at Tacloban airport

RECOMMENDATIONS • Eat a well-balanced diet with adequate caloric intake to balance the

number of calories burned with the number of calories eaten each day. • Take vitamins daily to supplement diet

WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME AMERICAN FAMILY PHYSICIAN JOHNS HOPKINS CHILDREN’S CENTER PHILIPPINES NEWS AGENCY

Prior to the typhoon malnutrition was present in the Philippines. The conditions since the storm are only likely to worsen the situation.

DESCRIPTION • A respiratory disease caused by the measles virus • Highly contagious – 90% of people without immunity (those

never vaccinated) sharing a living space with an infected person will develop the disease

• Spread via respiration by coming in contact with fluids from an infected person’s nose and mouth either directly or through droplets in the air

• Complications are common and usually more severe in adults • examples include pneumonia, ear infection, encephalitis

(inflammation of the brain), corneal ulcerations, and miscarriage or premature delivery in pregnant women

RISK FACTORS • Not getting vaccinated • Travel to or contact with someone who has travelled to

developing countries where measles is common (endemic), vaccinations are limited, and/or malnutrition is common

• Sharing the same living space with an infected person

SYMPTOMS Symptoms develop in unvaccinated people 9 to 12 days after coming in contact with an infected person. • Fever (up to 40C or 104F) • The 3 C’s of Measles: Cough, Coryza (term that describes

inflammation in the upper respiratory tract [nasal cavities] that commonly occurs with a ‘cold’), and Conjunctivitis (red eyes)

• Runny nose • Loss of appetite • Rash -- classic symptom of measles

• a generalized (covers the entire body), flat-to-slightly raised red rash (see photo to the right)

• appears several days after the fever starts

HIGHLIGHT BRIEF- MEASLES

TREATMENT • Most people with uncomplicated measles will recover without

specific treatment • Rest and supportive care (e.g. fluids) • Hospitalization for those with severe complications

CURRENT SITUATION • Much of the Philippines is not immunized against measles • Medical and public health authorities have been monitoring for

potential outbreaks, but communications is still an issue

RECOMMENDATIONS • Individuals who have not been vaccinated should:

• not share close spaces or intimate contact with infected persons • wear masks and gloves if contact with infected persons is

unavoidable • wash hands thoroughly with antimicrobial soap and hot water

• Confirm you have had the measles vaccine prior to travelling to any endemic area

• vaccination is the primary and most effective method of prevention

• most people in developed countries have been vaccinated • Infected individuals should be placed in isolation

DESCRIPTION

Leptospirosis is a disease caused by a type of bacteria. It is spread by contacting the urine of an infected animal (usually rats). People get sick by touching, eating, or drinking water or soil that has been infected by animal urine. Outbreaks often happen with floodwaters after a hurricane.

RISK FACTORS

Drinking, eating, or touching contaminated water or soil.

SYMPTOMS

People usually start getting sick with a fever, chills, and vomiting 2 days to 4 weeks after the bacteria enters their body. Without treatment, people can be sick for a few days or sometimes more than 3 weeks. Some people recover after a few days but will later become sick again with life-threatening symptoms. Some of the common symptoms include: • High fever • Headache • Chills • Muscle aches • Vomiting • Jaundice (yellow skin and eyes) • Red eyes • Abdominal Pain • Diarrhea • Rash

HIGHLIGHT BRIEF- LEPTOSPIROSIS

TREATMENT

Leptospirosis is treated with antibiotics, usually doxycycline or penicillin for a course of one week.

CURRENT SITUTATION

Two leptospirosis deaths have been verified: A 22-year-old male from Tacloban City and a 58-year-old male from Palo, Leyte

RECOMMENDATIONS

• Aid workers should avoid consuming any unfiltered water. • Keep floodwater and soil off skin, especially, from the eyes, nose,

mouth, or open wounds. • Anybody experiencing a combination of the listed symptoms

should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

In Guiuan, the re-opened airport and cleared roads allow the expansion of humanitarian activities in .support of Government efforts. Most of Guiuan’s infrastructure is destroyed; only two of five water pumping stations are operating. Food water and shelter are priorities for an estimated 480 000 people.

NEEDS: • The need for treatment capacity for TB, acute respiratory infections, dog

bites, and wounds related to debris clearing and reconstruction is increasing

• The need for emergency trauma care is decreasing, while the need for primary health care is increasing

• Repairs to health care facilities and basic services for patients – including food and water – are urgently needed. Immediate action is needed to provide a safe water supply at the Eastern Visayas Referral Medical Centre, the main hospital for the region.

• Disease surveillance needs strengthening. Reports of chickenpox, tetanus and leptospirosis deaths have emerged. Partners report increased cases of gastroenteritis, acute respiratory infection, fever, rashes and diarrhoea, especially in children.

• In Ormoc, partners confirm that the health situation is stable despite a few cases of upper respiratory infection in children under five. Health services have been fully restored, but drug supplies are running low.

• The Government has prioritized the restoration of primary and hospital health services, including the structural safety of hospitals, appropriate medical waste management and infection control.

• Basic and essential health care services must be expanded, including for routine surgeries (e.g. Caesarians).

• As of 19 November, 942 (mainly hospitals) of 2,495 health facilities in the affected area have been assessed; 104 are not functioning (11 per cent). However, village-level health facilities are also largely not functioning, creating a serious gap in health care.

• Solar refrigerators and solar lamps are required for rural health units in areas still without power.

• In the hardest hit areas, one third of the children suffer from malnutrition while only 20 per cent have been fully immunized against measles, leaving them particularly vulnerable to the deadly disease.

• An estimated 389,500 pregnant and lactating women need specialized services for pre-natal, post-natal and child health care, as well as health promotion and family planning services. Daily, an estimated 865 births take place in the affected communities. About 129 of these will have potentially life-threatening complications. Comprehensive data on pregnant and lactating women is needed to be able to address their needs

• Injury management is urgently required. The Eastern Visayas Regional Medical Center is the only operational hospital in Tacloban City.

• According to preliminary reports, 25 health facilities in Region VIII are serving over 200 000 affected people.

• According to NDRRMC 12,501people have been injured, with numbers expected to rise as more areas become accessible.

• An oral polio vaccination campaign is necessary but is hampered by lack of cold chain capacity.

• Most drugstores have been looted and medicines, including family planning supplies, are urgently required, particularly in Tacloban City.

HEALTH

GAPS & CONSTRAINTS: • Geographical coverage of health services needs to be expanded.

• Capacity is stretched due to the limited number of health facilities in

operation. Overcrowding is increasing the risk of outbreaks of infectious waterborne diseases.

• Transport costs and lack of fuel are hampering the health response.

• A shortage of trained staff and poor internet connections are hampering the emergency disease surveillance system.

• The transport of patients to referral hospitals is still an issue due to the

lack of ambulances and fuel. This is improving as roads are cleared.

• Plans to fill gaps by the eventual departure of foreign medical teams are required.

• Available vaccines and supplies for planned campaigns are estimated to

be sufficient only for Eastern Visayas region. Volunteers are needed to administer vaccines in these campaigns.

• The disease surveillance system is currently patchy due to a disrupted communications network. Reporting and enquiries can be directed to haiyanops@wpro.who.int.

CHILD PROTECTION & GENDER BASED VIOLENCE

PROTECTION

UPDATE: • According to the Child Protection Working Group, 10% of Filipino

women and girls aged 15 to 49 have experienced sexual violence. This percentage is expected to increase.

NEEDS: • URGENT: Identification and profiling of IDPs moving out of affected

areas is needed. Many are leaving through airports and seaports with minimal (if any) controls. This increases the risk of exposure to human trafficking.

• Identification, documentation, tracing and reunification for unaccompanied and separated children is needed. The number of children displaced from Leyte and Samar Provinces arriving in Cebu Province is increasing.

• UNFPA has developed a $110 million plan for national authorities and humanitarian partners to ensure that no woman dies giving birth and that each woman and girl is protected from violence. UNFPA launched an appeal for $30 million to fulfill its commitments in the next six months.

• UNICEF’s requests $61.5 million to respond to the needs of children and women affected by Typhoon Haiyan. 28% currently remains unfunded.

• Approximately 3.2 million women of reproductive age and 5.5 million overall affected children need psychosocial support and protection against violence, trafficking, and exploitation.

• 1.8 million children are estimated to be displaced. • Lighting is needed in the island barangays of Homonhon and Suluan

(Guiuan, Eastern Samar). • There needs to be de-congestion of camps. In Eastern Samar

Province, IDPs are living in overcrowded camps without separate areas for women and children.

RESPONSE: • 36 unaccompanied and separated children have been

identified. • Over 1,000 people have been registered at the Migration

Outflow Desk in Tacloban City. • A response desk at Villamor Airbase, Pasay City (Manila),

was established to monitor possible cases of trafficking and/or unaccompanied, separated, or missing children.

• Women and Child Protection Units have been set up in Borongan, Balangkayan, Hernani, Llorente, Oras, Salcedo, and San Julian municipalities (Eastern Samar).

• Two new child-friendly spaces have been established in Tacloban City.

• Women and children protection desks have been set up in three evacuation centers in Tacloban City.

• UNFPA supports the deployment of female police officer teams in 196 municipalities and safe haven reconstruction in 4 regions.

• UNFPA will create safe women spaces in evacuation centers while strengthening interagency protection mechanisms in 700 villages and barangays.
