PARTIAL CONSOLIDATED REPORT ON TYPHOON RUBY By CODE-NGO TASK FORCE RUBY Last December 5, 2014, during the CODE-NGO Social Development Celebration 2014 in Davao City, CODENGO held a meeting with its members to activate the DRR Coordination Hub in anticipation of the impacts of Typhoon "Ruby". The meeting was attended by representatives of CODE-NGO member networks who have operations in the identified path of Typhoon Ruby: Agri-Aqua Development Coalition, PAKISAMA and PhilDHRRA for Northern Mindanao, Eastern Visayas Network of NGOs and Pos (EVNET) for Region 8, Western Visayas Network of Social Development NGOs (WEVNET) for Region 6, Central Visayas Network of NGOs (CenVISNET) for Region 7, Partnership of Philippine Support Service Agencies (PhilSSA) for MIMAROPA, and Coalition for Bicol Development (CBD) for Region 5. The identified areas are also those that were devastated by the Super Typhoon Yolanda more than a year ago and are currently being assisted by the CODE-NGO member networks in the rehabilitation and recovery phase. The member-networks in attendance agreed to become part of the coordination hub dubbed as “Task Force Typhoon Ruby” which will be CODE-NGO’s platform for sharing of information and latest updates regarding Typhoon Ruby and do an initial damage assessment after the storm has passed. A Facebook group was established which serves as the repository of information and the members have been updating and exchanging information and data to monitor the status of typhoon impacts on the ground. A Community Damage and Needs Assessment (CDANA) template has also been distributed. Once filled-up by partners, these would be processed by the CODE-NGO National Secretariat thru the ACED2 Project and the results will be used as basis for immediate intervention.
