At this point, the International Federation on behalf of the Samoa Red Cross Society (SRCS) would like to
thank all partners for their generous response to this appeal.
This operation is expected to be implemented up to a maximum time frame of 18 months and will therefore be
completed by April 2011. A Final Report will be made available by June 2011. Two months after the end of
the operation.
The situation
On 29 September 2009, at the universal time of 17:48:07, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre reported an
earthquake measuring a magnitude of 8.3, off American Samoa; which generated a Pacific wide tsunami
warning. At the local time of 0408hours the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre stated that a tsunami warning was
in effect for
American Samoa, Samoa, Niue, Wallis-Futuna, Tokelau, Cook Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Kiribati,
Kermadec Island, Fiji, Howland-Baker, Jarvis Island, New Zealand, French Polynesia, and Palmyra Island.
On the 6th October, the field assessment and coordination team (FACT) reports that the death toll now stands
at 142. Three hundred and thirty five people have been treated for injuries and the majority have been
discharged from the hospitals and clinics. 32 people still remaining under care. The number of missing persons
stands presently stands at 6.
Presently, government action includes a joint qualitative survey in all 19 damaged villages in south east Upolu.
This survey is led by the Samoan government and includes the United Nations, non-governmental
organizations, ministries and the Samoan Red Cross This group intends to produce a plan of action for
government by Friday, 9 October 2009. The scope of this plan of action includes recovery initiatives including:
livelihoods, settlement, environment and disaster risk reduction.
In addition, a Samoa Red Cross Society assessment team earlier went to Manono Island between Upolu and
Savai’i in response to reports of unmet needs. Relief goods have since been despatched in response to this
assessment.
Coordination and partnerships
The International Federation’s regional office in Suva is taking the lead in supporting the Samoa Red Cross
Society (SRCS) operationally while the Disaster Management Unit (DMU) in the Asia Pacific zone office in
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is providing overall support in coordinating international assistance. A FACT has
been deployed in support. The team includes Pacific islanders trained in the regional disaster response team
(RDRT) as additional resource people.
Several Pacific national societies have extended considerable support to SRCS in terms of human, technical
and financial resources. The International Federation in Suva is in regular contact with SRCS and the FACT
team and together with the disaster management unit (DMU) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is relaying regular
updates to Movement partners. The Secretary General of SRCS and the FACT team leader attend daily
coordination meetings with the government of Samoa, the United Nations (UN) and other humanitarian
stakeholders. FACT members are also attending meetings in their specific areas of expertise.
A United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) team has been deployed into Samoa and
are assisting the government to conduct sector assessments. Preliminary assessments are currently being
undertaken and the many UN agencies are working with the Movement.
In addition, the inter-agency cluster system has been activated. The cluster systems approach presently
covers water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH); health and nutrition; education, protection, early recovery and
information management.
Red Cross and Red Crescent action
The SRCS volunteers have been active since the earthquake when church bells alerted them to help evacuate
people from coastal areas. SRCS now has over 200 volunteers active and the breadth of the activities they are
undertaking is considerable.
3
To date, SRCS volunteers and staff are the most significant presence in the field (apart from the government)
and have been distributing relief items including: water, food, blankets, cooking pots and tarpaulins. SRCS
volunteers have also been supporting people who are now homeless; and are, as yet too scared to go home.
In addition, the national society is also registering affected people.
The eight-person FACT with expertise in: relief, logistics, health, water and sanitation (watsan), shelter,
restoring family links (RFL) and psychosocial support (PSP) comprises delegates from the: Australian,
Canadian, French, New Zealand, and Tuvalu Red Cross societies as well as International Federation’s Pacific
regional office and the Asia Pacific DMU from the Asia Pacific zone office. Team members are working
closely with SRCS volunteers and staff members. A FACT communication kit, containing: satellite phones,
computers, printers, and global positioning systems (GPS) has been deployed to Apia.
The SRCS with support from the FACT team have completed an initial round of assessments to identify
immediate needs at the household level and will be following up with beneficiaries to identify recovery priorities
using participatory approaches.
The FACT team is also working with SRCS on developing approaches to relief and early recovery planning.
The SRCS and International Federation are considering what additional support might be needed over the
coming days and weeks in terms of recovery expertise and building the future capacities of the SRCS.
Additionally, support has been provided with the transport of injured people and bodies to the local hospital. In
some villages, SRCS volunteers, alongside community members, police and other government workers are
continuing to clear debris.
The SRCS is also supporting the restoration of family links. A few days after the disaster, a New Zealand man
who flew to Samoa looking for his wife and daughter was reunified with his family thanks to the Red Cross.
The release of DREF of CHF 325,134 by the International Federation is helping SRCS to deliver immediate
assistance.
Offers of support have come in from many quarters. Local agencies are offering buildings to house the
homeless; a Swiss yachtsman offering to search the coastline, technical college tutors are offering to transport
people and goods as appropriate; and donations of used clothes and food have been received.
Fiji Red Cross has transferred FJD10,000 (CHF 5,376; USD 5,147; EUR 3,530), while the New Zealand Red
Cross supplied: 50 family tents, 1000 blankets, 500 kitchen sets, 1,000 tarpaulins,100 first aid kit refills, 500
water containers and 200 body bags SRCS. These emergency items arrived on two flights, one a New
Zealand Air Force and the other commercial, and were cleared quickly through customs at Faleolo airport.
Australian Red Cross has deploying its water treatment unit plus 1,500 ten litre water containers from Brisbane
to Samoa and has further relief stocks on stand-by if required.
Cook Islands Red Cross has extended an offer of technical and financial support and is talking to the Samoan
community in the Cook Islands on ways of helping.
In American Samoa, the American Red Cross is working closely with the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA). A mass care team, support services, and relief supplies to assist the local chapter’s efforts.
An Australian Red Cross media advisor has engaged a photographer and is presently in the field.
The Samoa Red Cross Society’s Secretary General has appeared on live television for a New Zealand
‘telethon’ to raise more funds for the current operation.
This Operation
This appeal will focus on supporting the SRCS to provide appropriate and timely response in delivering
assistance, relief and recovery initiatives to 15,000 people (3,000 families) who are the most vulnerable.
Support will be provided to these beneficiaries in the following sectors: relief, health, water and sanitation
(watsan), shelter, psychosocial support (PSP), restoring family links (RFL), livelihoods, disaster risk reduction
(DRR) and capacity building for SRCS.
4
This operation will be developed by an integrated recovery programming process that aims to work with the
affected communities in identifying and addressing their needs in a holistic manner. The relief and recovery
processes will be supported and guided by a commitment to continuous learning through an ongoing
monitoring and evaluation processes.
RELIEF DISTRIBUTION (NON-FOOD ITEMS)
Objective: To assist the SRCS in providing non-food items including, two mosquito nets, two blankets, one
kitchen set, bedding and one hygiene kit per family for up to 15,000 people (3,000 families).
Progress:
The Samoa Red Cross has undertaken up to the 3 October, 322 deliveries or collections of relief items. The
main stock warehouse is at the SRC headquarters in Samoa where four, 20 foot shipping containers are
located. A sub logistics hub has been established in the grounds of the hospital at Lalomanu from where the
relief distributions are made. This unit is approximately 1 ½ hours drive by truck from Apia.
Distributions up to the 3 October included deliveries to 19 villages: Aufage, Falaeliili, Lalomanu, Lepa,
Lotopue, Malaela, Mutiatele, Poutasi, Salani, Saleapage, Salesatele, Sapo’e, Tafitoala, Tiavea Tai, Ulutogia,
Utulaelae, Vailoa, Vaovai and Vavau.
EMERGENCY HEALTH AND CARE
Objective: The health impact of this emergency on the affected population is reduced through support to the
health system in the provision of community-level preventive and curative services to 3,000 families (15,000
beneficiaries) in 20 hardest-hit villages on the south-east of Upolu Island for six months.
Progress:
Emergency Health and Care:
Situation: In the aftermath of the Tsunami generated by an 8.3 magnitude, which struck the southeast
coast of the main island of Upolu. The settlements along a 40 km stretch of narrow coastline is the hardest
hit and majority of the homes and infrastructure including electric lines and water supply system are
destroyed rendering around 30,000 people homeless and without access to safe water and sanitation. So
far, 142 people have died and over 600 were injured. Majority of the dead are women, children and elderly
persons. The 619 patients with soft tissue injuries and chest infections caused by seawater inhalation. One
sixth of the injured were needed hospitalization due to seriousness of their condition, mostly suffering from
fractures, sever pneumonia (secondary) and massive soft tissue injuries needing surgery. In total 101
surgeries have been performed, many of them need follow up plastic surgeries. One female patient of
aspiration pneumonia died in hospital on Saturday.
In the post tsunami situation the major public issues and needs expressed by the Red Cross volunteers and
health professionals (interviewed at Poutasi and Lalomanu hospitals) are:
•
Causalities (injured) needing medical attention
•
Medical care to displaced people in in-land areas for common diseases
•
Safe drinking water and proper sanitation
•
Psychosocial support to the survivors
•
Dead bodies and their burial because till bodies are being found in the affected areas
•
Injuries resulting from clean-up activities and tetanus prevention
•
Waterborne diseases particularly watery diarrhoea, typhoid and dysentery, there are unconfirmed
reports of increased diarrheal cases.
5
During field visits the health professional expressed an increased need for dressing material, antibiotics,
analgesics (pain reliving medicines).
At present there is no report of disease outbreak but the
ministry of health in coordination with the SRCS volunteers
and support from the WHO, UNICEF, Oxfam and other
health partners is strengthening its disease surveillance
system for early detection of diarrhoea and measles (the
immunization coverage for Measles is over 90 – WHO
Country Profile 2008).
The immediate health and medical needs are being met
very efficiently by the ministry of health through its network
of health facilities, which mostly remained operational and
massive support from New Zealand and Australia. The
communities moved to higher grounds and mountains are
being served by 5 mobile teams operating from Lalomanu
hospital. These teams are accompanied by SRC
volunteers for PSP and health promotion, i.e. messages on
hand washing, water boiling and breastfeeding. Generally the nutritional status is good (WHO – 2008), but
after this disaster food safety is an issue. With approaching rainy season proper housing/shelter is a
need priority.
WATER, SANITATION, AND HYGIENE PROMOTION
Objective: The risk of waterborne; and water and sanitation related diseases has been reduced through the
provision of safe water, adequate sanitation and hygiene promotion to 15,000 people (3,000 families) within
the tsunami affected area for six months.
Progress:
Emergency Water and Sanitation
•
Water distribution through an inflatable bladder on a truck has commenced to displaced families by a team
of Samoan Red Cross volunteers, in coordination with the Samoan Water Authority
•
A second water truck is likely to commence tomorrow as water still remains the greatest need
•
Water containers are still being distributed by SRC, including 10 2000L water tanks, donated by UNDP.
More containers are still required though as the displaced families are reluctant to come down to the
coastal area to collect water. A plan is being put in place to purchase more communal storage tanks with
greater storage capacity for the inland communities
•
Sanitation remains a great concern as most of the families inland do not have access to a latrine. Families
are being encouraged to build latrines and volunteers will be trained to assist families with digging latrines.
The planned distribution of tool kits will greatly assist families with commencing latrine construction. These
latrines are designed for intermediated use (next 4-6months)
•
Good coordination is being had with the Government of Samoa, the Samoan Water Authority, and the
WASH cluster (primarily Oxfam and UNICEF).
•
A detailed assessment is currently being conducted and led by the Ministry of Health. IFRC and other
agencies are also participating in this assessment, which is likely to be completed by tomorrow. The data
from the assessment will inform decisions regarding both immediate and longer term needs.
Early Recovery
•
Communal 5000L Water tanks are being considered to be placed along the inland roads for emergency
and also intermediate (i.e. 4-6 months) water needs. At the moment they rely on water being trucked to
them to be filled up, however with the rainy season about to commence, dedicated rainwater harvesting
roofs are being considered as an intermediate solution.

PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT (PSP)
Objective: Address the immediate psychosocial needs of the population by providing PSP-related relief
through PSP training of SRCS volunteers and local key persons in PSP
Progress:
The provision of counseling and support services is being nationally coordinated by the Psychosocial
Response Team; Samoa Red Cross is a member of this group. The current focus of all psychosocial
support services is to encourage personal and community resilience by supporting the natural grieving
process. The national society’s key role is to link people and communities into the most appropriate
services to address their needs. Red Cross volunteers are joining the counseling outreach teams to
provide transport and other logistical assistance (e.g. meals). A small team of volunteers have begun the
process of adapting selected psychosocial support resources to the Samoan culture and to the current
stage of the response.
SHELTER
Objective: The shelter needs of 500 families (2,500 beneficiaries) identified through targeted assessments
are met with an appropriate planned programme.
Progress:
•
1040 tarpaulins were distributed by SRCS
•
Shelter needs assessment, in cooperation with WASH Cluster (environmental health), is nearly complete.
Data is being geo-referenced and will be linked to UNDAC data
•
