| Summary: | This report summarizes the just-in-time
advice provided by the World Bank to the government of the
Philippines (GoP) immediately after Typhoon Haiyan. The Bank
helped the National Economic and Development Authority
(NEDA) develop the Reconstruction Assistance on Yolanda
(RAY) plan, providing recommendations and sharing
international good practice on key aspects of recovery and
reconstruction, including institutional arrangements for
recovery implementation, use of remote damage assessment,
resilient recovery, and reconstruction of housing,
buildings, roads, and other infrastructure. The report is
divided into six chapters: 1. Rapid Damage Assessments:
Using Remote Sensing Technologies and Risk Information to
Help Determine Preliminary Reconstruction Needs 2. Buildings
and Infrastructure: Good Practices for Resilient
Reconstruction 3. Housing: Lessons Learned from Large-Scale
Housing Reconstruction Programs 4. Building Back Better:
Restoring Key Sectors, Local Economy, and Livelihoods 5.
Roads and Bridges: Enabling Operational Continuity of
Lifelines for Evacuation and Post - Disaster Response 6.
Institutional Structures: Good Practices and Options for
Effective Planning and Implementation of Reconstruction and
Recovery. International experience shared through the
engagement includes lessons learned from community driven
reconstruction in Indonesia and Pakistan; shelter and
housing recovery in Haiti; emergency reconstruction in
Turkey; resilient infrastructure and hurricane contingency
planning in Florida; resilient reconstruction of buildings
in California, Haiti, Japan, and Turkey; remote damage
assessment in Pakistan; and resilient road and highway
management in East Asia and New Zealand. |
