NDRRMC Cluster Response

Camp Coordination and Camp Management & IDP Protection

Needs:

Most of the Camp Managers have been complaining and requesting for relievers as Camp Managers considering that they have been on duty for 24 hours without relievers since Day One and that if possible, relievers should be from ARMM as they are also having difficulty in verifying if people come and claim that they are IDPs from Marawi City.

Need for hygiene kits in Maria Cristina Evacuation Center, including disposable diapers, sanitary napkins, bath soap, dishwashing soap, laundry soap, and other toiletries

Need for firewood for cooking and cleaning materials, trash can / bags for comfort rooms in the evacuation centers of Iligan City, Baloi, Pantao Ragat, and Pantar are still unmet.

Need for blankets, bed sheets, clothes for kids

Home-based IDPs are complaining why there is unequal distribution of Family Food Packs between them and those sheltered in Evacuation Centers: they are receiving less compared to IDPs in ECs.= come up with localized communications in all ECs, “that all IDPs will be served with equal assistance”


Responses:

Deployed FO Caraga QRT augmentation are very helpful in hastening the assistance in the ECs

Gaps & Constraints:

Guampong Gym, Balo-i – new IDPS with no access cards = FO X to provide standard DAFAC forms to ARMM

Need for blankets, bed sheets, clothes for kids:

Language barrier - difficulty of camp managers in communicating with some IDPs who cannot speak or understand Cebuano or Tagalog

Camp Managers augmentation (both for FO X & ARMM): requirements = concrete figures needed; they should know how to speak Maranao; to organize / pool resources for their transportation to and from the ECs; CCCM Cluster Meeting tomorrow, to include all CSOs also engaged in CCCM to discuss on this need
