DRAFT 1: 24 November 2013
Panay Hub – Typhoon Haiyan – Sample Shelter and NFIs Kits
The Shelter strategy runs in two parallel phases:

EMERGENCY RESPONSE – started 8th Nov. estimated to continue to end of Feb 2014

SUPPORTING SELF-RECOVERY – started 8th Nov.
This document looks at sample kits for both phases and are meant to act as guidelines for agencies
making planning decisions. Shelter and NFI programmes are subject to how well markets are
functioning and affected population’s access to market. At the time of drafting, markets in affected
areas are weak, but recovery is evident. The response will follow different times scales for different
areas.
As markets develop, more and more commodities will be available for local procurement and some
programmes may be able to operate through cash or voucher systems.
