Answer:
Typhoon Haiyan (known locally as Yolanda) made first landfall in the early morning of 8 November and left a wide path of destruction and debris in its wake. It struck the Visayas causing immense damage and population displacement and killing nearly 6,000 people. At least 1,500 remain unaccounted for. As of 23 November, the Government estimates indicated that 13.26 million people were affected by Typhoon Haiyan, including 4.29 million who were displaced. 1.1 million houses were damaged. Hundreds of thousands are still displaced. The Typhoon impacted 9 regions, 44 provinces and nearly 600 municipalities, of which 171 municipalities are located within 50 km on each side of the path of the typhoon, see map below. An L3 emergency was declared by the IASC Principals and OCHA mobilised appropriate capacities.
Environmental concerns affecting lives and livelihoods were needed to be urgently integrated into humanitarian action. For this purpose, environment expert Åsa Granath was employed, seconded by MSB (Swedish Civil Contingency Agency) and financed by SIDA (the Swedish government) as an Environmental Field Advisor (EFA), from mid-January to mid-June 2014, to support the humanitarian response. It is the first time an environmental professional is employed by UN OCHA for such a long period, in a natural disaster.
