Resumen
Descripción
Tropical storm Ondoy (international name
Ketsana) hit the Philippines on September 26, 2009, causing
widespread flooding Tropical storm Ondoy was quickly
followed by typhoon Pepeng (international name Parma). It
initially brought powerful winds with gusts of up to 230
km/hr then an extended period of heavy rains, with
cumulative rainfall amounts exceeding 1,000 mm in some
areas. The resulting river floods have been estimated to
have a return period of around 50 years, meaning that
statistically speaking, such a rainfall event occurs on
average once in every 50 years. Ondoy and Pepeng resulted in
large numbers of affected persons and casualties. The
Government declared a National Sate of Calamity on October
2nd. The Department of Finance requested development
partners to undertake a Post-Disaster Needs Assessment
(PDNA) jointly with the Government. In response, development
partners organized a team of local and international experts
to initiate the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA)
process for Ondoy and Pepeng with Government agencies. The
needs for financing are large, but the cost of doing nothing
would be larger still. This PDNA estimates the total cost of
recovery and reconstruction at US$ 4.42 billion.
