Fast facts:

RELIEF GOODS

  1. Benguet
    • Send an e-mail to JP Alipio at jpalipio@yahoo.com or to Maria Cleto at marialcc@gmail.com to coordinate
    • Here is a list of the isolated areas that need relief supplies. The ones who have lost property will need some help getting back on their feet:
      • Labey, Bokod/Tublay: Lost 23 homes
      • Coroz, Ambassador, Tublay: Lost 15 homes
      • Pasdong, Naguey, and Brgy Poblacion in Atok
      • Takadang, Kibungan: Lost a lot of rice fields
      • Wakal and Nawal in Bokod: Isolated areas that have also lost a lot of land
    • Here is a list of the isolated areas that need food for work. We need to feed the workers on the roads who are clearing because many of them are doing this voluntarily:
      • Kibungan – They need it the most because they are now the most isolated municipality and need the food to feed the workers aside from the relief for the ones who are inside Kibungan.
      • Kapangan- Also has several large road cuts including a fallen bridge
      • Tublay – Many provincial and local roads within Tublay are blocked by slides and the workers are like everywhere else members of the community themselves
      • Atok -Pasdong, Naguey, and Poblacion has a lot of clearing work so they will need food there
      • Bokod – Nawal and Wakal are areas that need food for work as well as Labey
      • Bakun – a lot of clearing is being done here as well to open the roads
    • Other needs:
      • Earth pads – Need 500 pieces for the people in Labey (people are sleeping on the floor of the church and at neighbors’ houses), and 1000 more for all the affected areas in the relief list
      • Blankets – Each area in the relief list needs about 500 blankets each. Cold season is here now and they have no warm blankets because their homes have been washed out. This is especially important in Atok and Kibungan
      • Medical supplies – Just basic meds for cough, colds, fever. No need for antibiotics or special meds since this will need a doctor to use properly
      • Flashlights – LED lights that have long battery life or the crank activated ones
      • Food – Beans or monggo and rice will do and no need to repack into family packs so that it’s less waste in the mountains and much easier to transport. Also, no need for water as the areas have plenty
    • Emergency kits for each of the most isolated bgys (about 60) needs the following:
      • Emergency blanket, 2 per barangay (these are the reflective space blankets used in emergency for hypothermia or heat retention)
      • Small AM dynamo radios
  2. Red Cross Relief Centers wiped out in Rizal. Cooked food needed for 5000 families. Pls contact Red Cross to donate. 93939381090 Sara [via @carlosceldran] [10/31 12:51]
