The Tacloban Recovery and
Rehabilitation Plan (TRRP) identifies
the immediate actions and operational
strategies that will lead our city and our
people towards recovery, rehabilitation, and
sustainable development.
Considering the ‘unique character of our city’,

the TRRP emphasizes on the building back
better principle and actions consistent with
our long-term development vision, policies
and plans.
Guiding Principles
Inclusive and holistic– socially, environmentally, economically and culturally

balanced redevelopment; disaster recovery as an “opportunity”
Building back better and safer- exposure to future risk would be reduced;
longterm city benefits will not be sacrificed for short-term individual gains;
Actions shall address vulnerabilities and promote DRR
Multiple resource generation/financial sources to achieve broad base impacts
Needs-based and results oriented– considerate of both pre and post disaster
realities and complements existing capacities
Uses emergency responses/actions as building blocks for long-term recovery
Collaborative, multi-sector, participatory– national and local ownership and

engaging all stakeholders especially the communities
Key Considerations
• On 08 November 2014, Super Typhoon Haiyan

(Philippine Name: Yolanda) hit the country with winds of
more than 378 km/hr and storm surges of 4 to 6 meters
high.
• Our city is the regional hub of Eastern Visayas (Region

VIII) and the fastest growing city in the country, sustained
the greatest damage to housing, business, and
infrastructure.
• After 3 months, the city is still reeling from the aftermath

of the disaster.
Our Geographic realities
• Tacloban’s geographic location lies in the path of

the 20 typhoons on average that hit the country
every year
• It is also situated in that part of Leyte island

where a “funnel” effect occurs and which tends to
invite the strongest storm surges
• Its physiographic characteristics makes it

vulnerable to many forms of natural disasters
Yolanda’s impact on Shelter and Livelihood
• Of the 28,734 totally damaged houses in our city, 90% are

along the coast. The number of partially damaged houses
is 17,643.
• 28 of the city’s 136 barangays have coasts and lowlands

considered as danger zones. These danger zones are
mostly occupied by informal settler families.
• Of houses totally damaged, about 10,000 belong to the

urban poor. Most of their sources of livelihood have been
destroyed by the typhoon.
Yolanda’s impact on Social Facilities and Services
• Over 6,000 people still stay in tents, and other evacuation centers
which disrupted classes and other functions.
• All the city’s 7 hospitals (2 gov’t, 5 private) and 17 barangay health

centers have sustained major structural and equipment damage.
• 90% of all pre-schools, elementary and high schools, and

universities were badly damaged; a few are not planning to re-open.
• Some 36 public buildings incurred major damage to roofs, ceilings,

windows, electrical and plumbing systems
State of lifeline Infrastructure and Utilities
• Around 60% of the city’s electric power has been restored

(some buildings are still using generator sets).
• The city’s traditional water supply (mostly in the south)

has been restored but this is only 40% of the real
requirement of the city.
• While major drainage channels have been cleared, they

will require upgrading and security to keep them
permanently functional.
• Communication land-lines are not yet fully restored.

Potentials &
Opportunities
Our Human Resources
• Taclobanons are highly educated (221,174 population;

NSO 2010).
• Our city’s population expands to around 1.2M during the

day.
• Taclobanons are self-reliant and hopeful as evidenced by

our unanimous vote to convert the city into a Highly
Urbanized City.
• Taclobanons are resilient and able to rise above serious

difficulties; they immediately started rebuilding their lives
and economy after the typhoon.
Our City is the Regional Commercial Center
• Due to our strategic location, Tacloban City is the

premier city of Eastern Visayas -the gateway to the region,
and the center of trade, commerce, industry, education,
communication and technology.
• Our city is the home to the Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport,

the seaport in San Pedro Bay, and the Eastern Visayas Agri-
Industrial Growth Center (EVRGC) Economic Zone.
• The economy of Region VIII and other neighboring

Regions are extensively linked with Tacloban’s services and
urban facilities.
Center of Culture, Arts and Education
• Tacloban is at the core of the unique Waray-

Waray culture and tradition
• Our city is the center for education in the Region:
-- 35 private and public Pre-Schools

-- 58 Elementary Schools
-- 27 High Schools
-- 19 Tertiary Schools
(including the University of the Philippines)
Our “Vision”
for our city
and people…
Vision
TACLOBAN CITY: Resilient, Vibrant, Livable
Resilient:
– WE will have the capacity to “bounce back” from disaster impacts
– WE will be able to manage the un-avoidable (e.g Typhoons)
– WE will be able to accommodate and adapt to new development
demands
Vibrant:
– WE will have a bustling economy
– WE will be attractive to tourists and investors
Livable:
– WE will be living in peaceful, safe, and sustainable environment
– WE will have access to prime social services
– WE will have continued jobs and livelihood opportunities
– We will sustain our transparent and accountable governance
system that listens and works with all of the city’s constituencies
Resilience
Strategies
Development regulation for new building
• Direct growth to the safer areas of the city.
• Disaster-resilient rebuilding policies (architecture

and engineering provisions for future
construction)
Revitalization & Rebuilding of Existing
Assets
• Existing valuable assets of the city can

remain and exist where they are but must be
subject to DRR and CCA measures including
policies for limited growth.
Synergies with the private sector
• Today, Tacloban is rebuilding with available

resources but will need important
investments from the private sector.
• Directed to strategic locations by effective

land use policies, public and private
investments together can ultimately support
each other in a synergistic way under viable
disaster-free settings.
Economic revitalization and Development
Potential drivers of post-disaster growth:
1. Construction
2. Trading
3. Agricultural Diversification
4. Industrial Development
5. Tourism
6. Business Process Outsourcing
7. Economic Infrastructure Development
Disaster Risk Reduction & Management Plan
• Develop a culture of disaster preparedness in its

constituents and those wishing to locate and do business
in the city.
• To achieve this, the City Government shall prepare its

Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan
(TCDRRMP) with the following:
• Early warning and evacuation strategy
• Contingency plans
• Emergency response procedures
