Samoa:
Earthquake and
tsunami
MDRWS001
Operation update n° 2
11 October 2009
Period covered by this Ops Update: 6 October to 11 October, 2009;
Appeal target (current): CHF 2,161,295 (USD 2,096,736 or EUR 1,423,150)
Appeal coverage: With contributions received to date
in cash and kind the appeal is 34% covered, and 49%
covered including pledges in the pipeline; funds are
still urgently needed to enable Samoa Red Cross
Society to provide immediate humanitarian assistance
to those affected by this disaster;
Appeal history:
•
The Preliminary Emergency Appeal was
launched for CHF 2,888,262 (USD 2,788,974
or EUR 1,913,516) on 4 October 2009 in cash
or kind to support the Samoa Red Cross
Society to assist 15,000 beneficiaries (3,000
families) for six months.
•
Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF): CHF 325,134 was allocated from the International
Federation’s DREF to support the national society to respond.
Summary:
Support will be provided to 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 the Samoa Red Cross Society. This report addresses the progress of relief
distribution; emergency health and care; water and sanitation; communications and restoring family links.
The field assessment and coordination team (FACT team) arrived in Samoa on 1 October and has been
undertaking an assessment of the affected communities needs, as well as developing an understanding of the
actions in Samoa by other key agents in relief and recovery services. The FACT team has focused on
assessing the relevant sectors within the most affected localities in the south coast of Upolu.
The FACT team has identified many additional support agencies (both government and non-government) which
are providing disaster assistance within Samoa, and operating within a sound coordination manner.
This means that some sectors initially identified within the preliminary emergency appeal may not be as
needed, given the level of servicing by other agencies. It also means that the number of beneficiaries and
locations to be identified for support under the emergency appeal will need to be reconsidered in light of the
services being provided from these agencies.

A draft plan of action is being drafted to cover the needs of disaster affected people in the sectors of relief;
emergency health care; water and sanitation (watsan) and hygiene promotion; psychosocial support (PSP);
shelter; restoring family links (RFL); and livelihoods support. An institutional capacity building component is also
included to strengthen the capacities of the Samoa Red Cross Society and its branches.
The Samoa Red Cross Society has already distributed food, non-food items, shelter materials and provided
access to potable water for the most affected families.
The Samoa Red Cross Society and the International Federation are encouraging international partners to
provide cash donations which will enable them to provide culturally appropriate and targeted humanitarian
assistance in line with the identified needs. In addition procurement of items locally will contribute to the
recovery of the local economy.
Partners which have made contributions to this appeal thus far include: American Red Cross, Australian Red
Cross, British Red Cross/government, Canadian Red Cross/government, Japanese Red Cross and Monaco
Red Cross.
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.
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.
As of the 11 October, the field assessment and coordination team (FACT team) reports that the death toll now
stands at 142. The majority of the dead are women, children and elderly. 335 people have been treated for
injuries and the majority have been discharged from the hospitals and clinics. 32 people are still remaining
under care and the number of missing persons presently stands at six.
Two joint assessments have been completed. These include a joint qualitative survey focused on health
conditions, livelihoods and environmental concerns. A quantitative assessment examined environmental health
issues, including water, waste, shelter, living conditions, family numbers and locations in all 19 damaged
villages in south east Upolu. The surveys were led by the Samoan government ministries and included the
United Nations, the Samoan Red Cross Society and other non-governmental organizations. The preliminary
findings of the assessments have been presented to the government.
Data from the surveys were collated, geo-referenced and used to produce a plan of action for the government,
which was presented on 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 has visited Manono Island between Upolu and
Savai’I after reports that there were unmet needs there. Relief goods have since been despatched in response
to this assessment.
Coordination and partnerships
The Samoa Red Cross Society (SRCS) is leading early response at the country level but has been proactive in
requesting international support for the response.
A field assessment and coordination team (FACT team) has been deployed to support the ongoing assessment
and coordination in the country and to provide assistance in specialised sectors, where the SRCS had no
existing capacity. The team includes Pacific islanders trained in the regional disaster response team (RDRT) as
3
additional resource people. The FACT team is being supported by the International Federation’s regional office
in Suva and the Disaster Management Unit (DMU) in the Asia Pacific zone office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for
overall coordination.
Several national societies from within the Pacific region have already extended considerable support to SRCS
for their operation in terms of human, technical and financial resources. The Secretary General of SRCS and
the FACT team leader are attending daily coordination meetings with the government of Samoa, the United
Nations (UN) and other humanitarian stakeholders on the ground. Individuals within the FACT team are
attending planning and coordination meetings in their specific areas of expertise.
A United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) team was initially deployed into Samoa to
assist the government with sector assessment, although have since departed on 9 October, as the requirement
reduced.
Preliminary assessments have been completed in a coordinated way, led by the government of Samoa with
support from the UN and other agencies. The results of these assessments will determine a prioritized and
coordinated plan of action from supporting agencies, including the SRCS.
The inter-agency cluster system was activated for this disaster. The cluster systems approach presently covers
the areas of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH); health and nutrition; education, protection, early recovery
and information management.
Save the Children and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) are working closely with the ministry of
womens affairs on psychosocial support, and in close coordination with the child protection working group in the
ministry of health’s mental health section. Save the Children have briefed the organizations working in this area
on “children’s behaviour after disasters”, to ensure lessons learnt are being incorporated into actions. At the
moment the focus is on supporting communities and families to talk, share and encouraging children to play and
so on. Pastors engaged in psychosocial support (PSP) needs to be provided with support and training. In
addition, trauma counselling also needs to be included in PSP.
Just two weeks after the tsunami, amazing stories are beginning to emerge that demonstrate the hope and
survival of people and communities. Many people are incredibly active in restoring and rebuilding their living
arrangements, and sourcing their basic needs. In the wake of such a disaster these small signs of recovery are
important for healing and for promoting the mental health and wellbeing of the community.
It is important to note that there are a considerable number of community/health/welfare services in Samoa that
are well placed to respond to counselling and psychosocial support needs of affected communities, this includes
training, briefing and debriefing of people engaged in service delivery. One example is the Samoan emergency
services; and volunteers and staff of all the organizations. In addition the governments of Australia and New
Zealand (especially New Zealand) have provided teams of people to assist the ministry of health in all facets of
health provision, including psychosocial support and mental health. Importantly, this includes Samoans living
abroard, most notably in New Zealand, where they are highly skilled professionals in the fields of nursing,
mental health, counselling, social work and psychology. Many of these have been seconded to the ministry of
health for the coordination and provision of a range of psychosocial services in the immediate to medium term.
Family and church are the front line PSP providers. The churches and the pastoral care they provide are well
linked into the national coordination of psychosocial support services.
Red Cross and Red Crescent action
In the early stages of the response, SRCS volunteers and staff had the most significant presence in the field
(apart from the government) and distributed water and relief items including food, blankets, cooking pots,
mosquito nets and tarpaulins. Relief distributions continue, although the distribution of potable water is the main
focus of humanitarian assistance at this time. Continuous monitoring is ongoing to address any changing needs
as they emerge. SRCS volunteers have also been supporting people who are displaced; and are, as yet too
scared to go home. In addition, the national society is also registering affected people and supporting the
restoration of family links.
SRCS is currently registering displaced families (approximately 1,000 people) who are residing in five camps
that have been established in local plantations.
4
SRCS commenced trucking water to displaced families living in their plantations on 6 October, with emergency
water equipment donated by the Australian Red Cross (ARC). Two teams of SRCS volunteers are operating two
trucks, each with an inflatable water bladder at a 5000L capacity, as part of the overall water trucking schedule,
coordinated by the Samoa Water Authority. Water trucking is likely to continue for the next couple of months
until a regular water supply is assured and household water storage capacity increases.
The FACT team with expertise in: relief, logistics, health, water and sanitation (watsan), shelter, restoring family
links (RFL), communications and psychosocial support (PSP) comprises of delegates from the Australian,
Canadian, French, New Zealand, and Tuvalu Red Cross societies as well as the International Federation’s
Pacific regional office and the Asia Pacific disaster management unit (DMU) from the Asia Pacific zone office.
Team members are working closely with SRCS volunteers and staff members. An RDRT 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.
Offers of support have come in from many quarters. Local agencies are offering buildings to house the
homeless; technical college tutors are offering to transport people and goods as appropriate; and donations of
used clothes and food have been received. A group of children, who had lost a classmate, conducted a fund
raiser and donated the proceeds to SRCS.
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 deployed a water treatment unit plus 1,500 ten litre water containers to Samoa.
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) providing a mass care team, support services, and relief supplies to assist the local chapter’s
efforts.
An Australian Red Cross media advisor joined the FACT team until 10 October, compiling video and
photographic information, and coordinated media from 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.
At the invitation of the Samoa Red Cross Society, members of the FACT team attended the national memorial
for the tsunami victims. This event received wide media coverage.
Progress on the proposed operation
A draft plan of action is being prepared to meet the needs of disaster affected people in the sectors of relief;
emergency health care; water and sanitation (watsan) and hygiene promotion; psychosocial support; shelter;
restoring family links and livelihoods support. This is currently being developed in consideration of the support
being provided by other international agencies as well as direct bilateral assistance to the Samoa government,
and the ongoing process of confirming the numbers of people directly and indirectly affected by the tsunami.
The revised plan of action and subsequent revised appeal also presents an opportunity for international Red
Cross and Red Crescent Societies’ support to SRCS to even more explicitly focus on strengthening the national
society. This disaster has again confirmed the comparative advantage of the Movement being there before
5
other organizations arrive and remaining long after they go. This international support operation will enable this
comparative advantage to be even stronger in the future.
Furthermore, this operation will be developed by an integrated recovery programming process that aims to work
with the affected communities in identifying and addressing their recovery needs in a holistic manner.
The relief and recovery processes will be supported and guided by a commitment to continuous learning
through ongoing monitoring and evaluation processes.
F 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 15,500 displaced 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 11 October include deliveries to 40 locations, including support for families relocated in the
capital city of Apia, 3 villages on Manono Island and families in damaged villages or supported in neighbouring
villages in the affected area.
WATER AND SANITATION (WATSAN) 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) the within
the tsunami affected area for six months.
Progress:
A detailed assessment has been completed by the ministry of health with participation from the International
Federation and other agencies. Data from the assessment has informed decisions regarding both immediate
and longer term needs. Specifically, during the last five days the SRCS has distributed 65,000 litres of water to
the affected population through water distribution, using inflatable bladders on two trucks to displaced families.
This action has been lead by teams of SRCS volunteers, under the coordination of the Samoan Water Authority.
In support of the ongoing water distribution, water containers are being distributed by SRCS, including ten -
1000L water tanks, donated by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), to improve the affected
population’s access to potable water. A further 54 water tanks are being purchased locally and SRCS staff will
be trained to assist families with the construction of concrete bases for their installation. In support of inland
communities SRCS in coordination with the Samoa Water Authority and Oxfam are developing a plan to
purchase additional more communal storage tanks with greater storage capacity.
•
Sanitation continues to be of 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 in their
construction. The planned distribution of tool kits will greatly assist families commencing with latrine
construction. These latrines are designed for intermediate use between a four to six month period. Hygiene
promotion and health education is ongoing alongside water distribution and relief items distribution.
•
There is good coordination in place the government of Samoa, the Samoan Water Authority, and the WASH
cluster (primarily Oxfam and UNICEF).
6
While assistance is being provided to those families affected by the Tsunami, longer term considerations with
regard to the impact of the impending rainy season are being taken into consideration with regard to operational
planning. This includes taking into consideration supporting families with dedicated rainwater facilities including
improving roofing material and water storage facilities to increase household supply and reduce reliance on
trucked water.
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 15,000 beneficiaries (3000
families) in 20 hardest hit villages on the south-east of Upolu Island for six months
.
Progress:
The core approaches of the Red Cross Red Crescent Societies (RCRC) with regard to the provision of CBHFA
and the promotion of safer and healthier lifestyles, is ideally situated to the Pacific. Ongoing coordination with
the ministry of health is defining the role of the SRCS staff and volunteers. They will have a bigger role to play
with regard to longer-term interventions, based on the visibility and relationship developed through core
programming and the role SRCS has played in the relief phase.
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:
SRCS has mobilized 30 volunteers who are consistently providing PSP support to those affected by the disaster
in parallel to relief distributions. This action has focused on encouraging mutual support and small informal
opportunities are emerging that enable some sensitization in personal/psychosocial support, most notably in the
areas of communicating with beneficiaries and self care. A small group of volunteers within SRCS have
signalled their interest in providing the informal ‘training’ to their colleagues who have been actively working to
meet the needs of the affected population.
SRCS continues to play an important role in “filling the gaps”. The provision of much needed essential items
that are critical to people’s recovery is one example of this. Another is the immediate response, the provision of
a cooked lunch for the families of people still in hospital. Many of these people were themselves injured and
most certainly have all been directly affected. In order to support their family members they have been camping
out in the hospital ground, which is starting to have adverse implications on their own recovery.
SHELTER
Objective: The shelter needs of 4,000 beneficiaries (500 families) identified through targeted assessments are
met with an appropriate planned programme within six months.
Progress:
A shelter needs assessment, in cooperation with the WASH Cluster (environmental health), was completed.
Data is being geo-referenced and will be linked to UNDAC data in support of the national government’s overall
analysis.
While most families now have some form of emergency shelter, assisting families to build falio’o to improve the
residential conditions has become a priority as the rainy season begins in late October. (A Falio is a traditional
dwelling, with floors raised above the ground and timber poles supporting a roof structure).
SRCS has supported this activity with the distribution of 1040 tarpaulins and a number of tents, complemented
by building tools which have been procured locally to support families who have relocated upland or those who
have decided to stay in their original location.
7
Requests for quotations are placed for the procurement of 20 community tool sets (chain-saw, concrete mixer,
wheelbarrows, ladders, crow-bars) and 500 materials packages (cement, timber, roofing materials etc). There
will be challenges with local supply so overseas procurement is being investigated.
RESTORING FAMILY LINKS (RFL)
Objective: To access families and individuals who have missing relatives who remain unaccounted for and
register the missing for a maximum of six weeks.
Progress:
Since the previous update an additional 10 requests have been received to reunite families seperated by the
disaster. To date a total of 70 such enquiries have been received: 55 for Samoa and 15 for American Samoa.
Of which four enquiries remain open.
Actions undertaken by the SRCS with regard to their RFL activities have included:
•
Acquiring a list of the deceased and a list of missing people from authorities
•
Acquiring a list of children housed by the Samoan Victim Support shelter housing
•
Conducted field training with one staff and four volunteers for “Safe & Well Messages and Phone Calls”
•
Field visits to displaced persons to offer “Safe & Well Messages & Phone calls” are expected to be completed
within three weeks
•
Training was provided in psychosocial support to four volunteers
•
Provided administrative training to two volunteers for registration of sought persons and search avenues to
locate
them
Moving forward, as the Samoan Police have undertaken village visits and consultation with villagers regarding
missing persons, the SRCS has handed over the registration of this task to the authorities.
In addition the Australian Red Cross has committed to undertaking RFL training of SRCS staff and volunteers
until December 2009, developing capacity through on-the-job training and the experience of this recent event.
LIVELIHOODS SUPPORT
Objective: Up to 7,500 beneficiaries (1,500 families) in the worst affected areas, who have lost their food
production, and/or means of income, will have a viable source of income.
In support of the identification of appropriate actions, the SRCS and the FACT team will be reinforced by a
recovery delegate who will arrive in the coming week. On arrival the recovery delegate will ensure the
strengthening of this component as the operation moves ahead.
This will build on the livelihoods assessment which was included in the qualitative survey completed last week,
led by the government, in coordination with the Early Recovery Cluster.
INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY BUILDING
Objective: Monitoring and reporting capacity building: SRCS staff and members at headquarters and potential
branches will improve their skills on needs assessments, monitoring and reporting.
The International Federation appeal will consider the capacity building of the SRCS as a long term essential
goal of this operation. An organizational development delegate with direct experience in supporting
organizational developement in emergencies will be on hand to ensure that SRCS will emerge from this
operation stronger and with enhanced capacity than prior to the disaster event. In addition, the profile of the
8
Pacific head of regional office reinforces the commitment to ensure capacity building opportunities are identified
and acted upon through this operation.
LOGISTICS
Logistics support is being provided following International Federation procedures to source and procure relief
items needed, and to ensure the efficient and timely delivery of these items for the success of the operation.
Logistics actions are being supported through the close cooperation of the Australian Red Cross, French Red
Cross and the New Zealand Red Cross. These include:
•
Coordination among SRCS, the programme managers and the Regional Logistics Unit, Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia, for the most timely and cost-efficient sourcing option for the items required for the operation
•
Evaluation of shipping options for relief items
•
Coordinate the mobilization of goods and reception of incoming goods still coming as part of the
response to the tsunami
•
Maintain close relationship with other key actors in logistics
•
Review and improve storage, warehousing, transport, procurement and distribution procedures of
SRCS
•
Support
logistics
requirements of programme implementation
•
Mobilize pre–positioned stock from either the regional logistics unit warehouse in Kuala Lumpur or
within the region on a needs basis
COMMUNICATIONS – ADVOCACY AND PUBLIC INFORMATION
The steady flow of timely and accurate information between those working in the field and other major
stakeholders will support the programme objectives of this emergency appeal, increase the profile, funding and
other support for the national society and the International Federation. It will also provide a platform on which to
advocate in the interest of vulnerable people.
In close collaboration with the operation, those affected by this emergency will be provided with information to
support their relief and recovery. Donors and national societies will receive information and materials they can
use to promote this operation. Communications initiatives will help build the information and public relations
capacity of the host national society for future emergencies.
