Executive Summary
This  document  presents  a  brief  overview  of  humanitarian  and  short  term  needs  three
weeks after  the  tsunami struck  Samoa  on  29  September  2009.  Following  the  disaster,
the Government of Samoa, Samoa Red Cross and other national and local organizations
and international organizations and bilateral partners responded to the needs with great
effort. As a result operations moved rapidly from response to recovery. The government
of Samoa requested within a week the UN to take the lead in the formulation of an early
recovery  framework.  Following  discussions  in  the  IASC  meeting  of  the  Pacific
Humanitarian  Team,  OCHA  was  requested  to  provide  the  IASC  an  overview  of
humanitarian  and/or  short  term  needs  that  would  not  necessarily  covered  in  the  Early
Recovery Framework and planning.

Following  the  impact  of  the  tsunami,  the  Government  of  Samoa  immediately  activated
the National Emergency Operational Centre at the Faleata Fire station and Government
ministries and departments immediately activated emergency plans and response under
the leadership of the National Disaster Council.

The  Inter-Agency  Standing  Committee  (IASC)  of  the  Pacific  Humanitarian  Team  (PHT)
under  the  guidance  of  the  United  Nations  Resident  Coordinator  (UNRC)  activated,  for
the  first  time  in  the  Pacific,  the  cluster  approach  for  coordination  of  the  international
response.  Seven  clusters  were  activated  for  a  coordinated  international  response:
WASH, Health, Education, Protection, Information Management and Logistics.

Following  the  swift  response  and  resources  mobilized  by  the  Government  of  Samoa,
bilateral government  donations, particularly  Australia  and  New  Zealand,  the  Red  Cross
movement, churches, communities and NGO’s for relief, the Government requested the
UN  to  take  the  lead  in  the  development  of  an  early  recovery  framework.  As  the  Early
Recovery cluster therefore  focused on a timeframe of  3-8 months,  the  IASC requested
the  clusters  to  provide  an  overview  of  the  humanitarian  and  other  short  term  needs
during the emergency phase and first 3 months, which was to be compiled by UNOCHA.

The  summary  of  identified  humanitarian  and  other  short  term  needs  in  each
cluster/sector is as follows, INCLUDING Emergency Shelter and Non-Food Items (NFIs).

Background
In  the morning of  29 September  2009, a powerful 8.3M  earthquake struck south of  the
main Samoan Island chain with its epicenter 190 kilometers south of the Samoan capital
of  Apia.  Few  minutes  later  a  series  of  quake-triggered  tsunami  waves  hit  American
Samoa,  Samoa  and  the  small  northern  island  of  Niuatoputapu  in  Tonga.  The  tsunami
waves,  some  of  which  are  said  to  have  been  as  high  as  6  meters,  caused  fatalities,

casualties and serious damage to Samoa. As of 16 October, the official death toll stands
at 143 with five missing and 310 injured. Data from the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the
Samoa  Red  Cross  suggest  that  the  directly  affected  population,  most  of  who  were
displaced,  is  around  4,500.  However,  this  figure  is  assumed  to  be  the  lower  estimate
since  the  assessment  information  compilation  is  still  on  going  by  Ministry  of  Health  to
cover  the  entire  affected  areas.  According  to  the  draft  Early  Recovery  Framework,  the
affected  population  is  estimated  to  be  5,275  people,  based  on  the  2006  population
census. The maps on annexes 3 and 4 show the areas and population affected.

The coastal areas of Samoa sustained damages with extensive destruction mainly to the
south eastern coast of Upolu Island. Damages were caused to family homes, community
buildings,  schools,  resorts,  roads,  power  lines  and  water  supply  located  along  the
coastline of the affected areas.

The  Government  immediately  activated  the  National  Emergency  Operational  Centre  at
the  Faleata  Fire  station  and  this  remains  the  central  control  point  for  the  response
operation.  Government  ministries  and  departments  immediately  activated  emergency
plans and response under the leadership of the National Disaster Council.

The  Inter-Agency  Standing  Committee  (IASC)  of  the  Pacific  Humanitarian  Team  (PHT)
under  the  guidance  of  the  United  Nations  Resident  Coordinator  (UNRC)  immediately
convened  a  meeting  and  decided  on  1  October  to  activate  cluster  approach  for
coordination  of  the  international  response.  This  was  the  first  occasion  to  introduce  the
cluster  approach  in  the  Pacific  since  the  “Pacific  cluster  approach”  has  been endorsed
by  the  PHT  in  July  2008,  and  disaster  preparedness  activities  have  been  conducted
since then based on the agreed regional cluster arrangement.

The  IASC  humanitarian  cluster  system  agreed  in  Samoa  was  as  follows  (after  revision
on 9 October). UNOCHA took the leading role in Information Management.

The above clusters cover key humanitarian sectors which required coordination support.
Emergency shelter was  identified as a  key  priority  and was  rapidly  addressed  by  relief
mechanisms  in  place.  The  emergency  shelter  cluster  system  was  not  activated  as  the
actors  involved  in  the  emergency  shelter  were  limited,  emergency  shelter  needs  were
addressed early on and the scale of the disaster did not warrant cluster activation. IFRC

FACT,  the  designated  emergency  shelter  cluster  convener  at  the  global  level,
participated in and concurred with this decision.

From the onset of the disaster there was a strong collaborative effort by government, UN
and  humanitarian  organizations  and  all  involved  partners.  Various  organizations
immediately  dispatched  their  emergency  team  and  cluster  coordination  staff.  IFRC
dispatched a FACT team to Samoa to provide support to the national society. The team
consists of technical experts of various sectors including WASH, health, logistics, relief,
psycho-social,  shelter  and  tracing.  OXFAM  dispatched  emergency  coordinators,
UNOCHA dispatched an UNDAC team to provide coordination support to the UNRC and
NEOC,  UNICEF  mobilized  human  resources  to  support  clusters  where  its  leads  and
supports  and  WFP  dispatched  a  logistics  coordinator  to  support  the  logistics  cluster.
WHO deployed an emergency coordinator for the Health cluster and strengthened their
health sector support with additional staff.  UNDP  also  formed a  team to coordinate the
development  of  the  early  recovery  framework  and  leads  the  early  recovery  cluster.
OHCHR dispatched staff to lead the protection cluster.

Summary of identified needs:
The  matrix  below  is  a  summary  of  identified  needs  in  each  cluster/sector.  It  makes  a
distinction between humanitarian (i.e. life saving) needs and other short term needs for a
period up to 3 months. The matrix does not include the early recovery needs as the Early
Recovery cluster has its own early recovery framework which focuses on early recovery
needs  with  a  timeframe  of  3-8  months.  Hence  this  document  aims  to  provide  an
overview  of  the humanitarian  and  other  short  term  needs  during  the  emergency  phase
and first 3 months.

Two supporting clusters, namely the Information Management (IM) cluster and Logistics
cluster are also not included as they do not have operational programmatic interventions,
but  rather  provide  support  to  other  operational  clusters.  IM  was  the  cluster  in  which
UNDAC and UNOCHA, with the support of the Pacific Disaster Net (PDN) team, SOPAC
and SPREP,  provide IM services  including issuance  of situational  reports, maintenance
of  the  Pacific  Disaster  Net  “Samoa/Tonga  Tsunami”  website,  sharing  of  documents
(meeting  schedules,  contact  lists,  minutes,  maps,  photos,  etc)  for  inter-cluster
coordination.  The  Logistics  cluster’s  main  objective  was  to  strengthen  logistics
management  system  at  DMO  with  technical  expertise  provided  by  WFP  logistics
coordinator,  and  at  the  end  of  his  mission,  the  strengthened  logistics  management
system, based on the existing system,  will be handed over to DMO.

In addition to the established clusters, Non Food Items (NFI) and Emergency Shelter are
covered  in  this  document  because  these  are  important  operational  humanitarian
response sectors, although  there is no specific clusters established  for  these sectors  in
Samoa.

No significant humanitarian gaps have been identified for emergency shelter. The need
for transitional/semi-permanent housing will be covered in the early recovery framework.
WASH  has  identified  a  numbers  of  gaps,  especially  lack  of  water  supply,  lack  of
sanitation facilities and the essential hygiene supplies. It is expected that the cluster will
identify  resources  to  address  the  needs.  The  Education  cluster  clearly  articulated  the
humanitarian  needs  and  the  related  costs  regarding  schooling,  however  the  Education
cluster has  already addressed how to  meet  the  needs  by cluster members. The  Health

sector also provided areas of needs and cost implications. Regarding NFI, DMO/EOC is
expected to provide clearer pictures on what items in what amount are still in gaps. They
are currently following up all the relief items already in pipeline. The Protection cluster
has highlighted the need for periodic monitoring of the displacement situation throughout
the early recovery phase and beyond.

“Housing”

a) WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene)

1. Needs identified
Access  to water  for drinking, cooking and hygiene  has been a priority need  from day  1
since the water supply system was damaged and most of the directly affected population
has been displaced. A continuous supply  of minimum amounts  of water  to  the affected
families,  most  of  whom  have  now  moved  to  inland,  is  foremost  important  to  maintain
good hygiene among the affected population, particularly children. Additional pumps and
tankers (2) are required to fulfill the need.

In  addition  to  the  provision  of  water  and  repairing  of  the  water  supply  systems,
installation  of  sanitary  facilities  is  a  priority  need.  MoH  is  working  very  hard  and
encouraging each household to construct pit latrines. WASH needs at schools and early
childhood  learning  centers  also  need  to  be  immediately  addressed  in  order  to  resume
this public service. In addition, the issue of solid waste and hygiene promotion needs to
be considered and addressed well to protect the local environment and ground water.
Meanwhile, SWA also should seek to identify alternate water sources in order to provide
safe water  to the families who  have moved  inland and constructing temporary shelters.
This  certainly  will  take  some  time  and  therefore  addition  tankers/pumps  would  be
required to accommodate and fulfill immediate needs of drinking water.

The maps in annexes 5 and 6 provide more detailed in formation on water sources and
sanitation facilities in the affected areas.

2. Activities conducted up to today
UNICEF  and  OXFAM  became  the  lead  agency  for  WASH  cluster, closely  working with
the government. The WASH cluster lead role has been handed over to the government
and  renamed as  the “Samoa Water Sector-Post tsunami support” although the support
of  UNICEF,  OXFAM  and  other  international  agencies  continues.  Detailed  assessment
was  carried  out  by  the  Public  Health  Department  and  the  government  quickly  took
actions  to  restore  the  water  supply  system.  It  is  reported  by  Samoa  Water  Authority
(SWA)  that  the  system  has  been  restored  in  the  affected  areas.  Bottled  water  was
distributed by various agencies.

However, it still requires alternative water supply operation especially for those displaced.
SWA, with the support of New Zealand, IFRC, OXFAM and UNICEF, distributes trucked
water with 7 trucks operational (one requires maintenance and 4 are for short term rent).
Commitment of Oxfam and UNICEF support is expiring soon. Sector is seeking support
from EU  for  procurement  of  new  truck.  It  might  take  more  time  and  existing  SWA  and
SRC  trucks  don’t  meet  minimum  water  demand  and  therefore  need  to  hire  additional
trucks to meet daily demand.

Various organizations  provided WASH relief items such  as water  tanks, water purifiers,
water  containers  and  jerry  cans  including  UNDP,  UNICEF,  Australia,  New  Zealand,
Samoa Red Cross, EU, JICA, World Vision, ADRA, Caritas, Bluebard Lumber and others.

Temporary  toilets  were  constructed by  the  Public  health  department  with assistance  of
the  New  Zealand  health  department,  IFRC  and  UNICEF.  Hygiene  education  with
distribution of soap is also being provided by the PH department with assistance of NZ,
IFRC and UNICEF.

UNFPA  and  IFRC  also  provided  female  hygiene  products/dignity  kits  to  improve  the
hygiene  and  protect  the  dignity  of  women.  Other  hygiene  items  such  as  soap,  tooth
paste,  toilet  paper,  baby  hygiene  kits,  etc.  have  been  also  distributed  by  various
organizations.  It  is  also  important  to  follow  up  whether  provided  relief  materials  have
been  already  distributed  or  kept  at  the  warehouse.

Please refer to annex 1 for more

detailed information.

Currently  SWA,  with  the  possible  support  from  UNICEF  and  ADRA,  is  working  on  to
provide access to safe water at schools and ECD centers especially before the schooling
start for all grade children next week.

3. Needs identified
Lacks  of  sanitary  facilities  are  still  considered  to  be  a  serious  need,  and  it  will  be
addressed by two activities mentioned under (1) and (3).

(1)  Installation of household pit latrines and promotion of safe hygiene, reaching over
      200-250 households
(2)  Procurement and distribution of life saving essential hygiene supplies for two months
(3)  Installation of WASH facilities in 9 early child care centers;
(4)  Installation of household water tank fitted with rainwater harvesting option.
(5)  Continuous  supply  of  water  by  tankers/truck  to  meet  the  minimum  demand@30

lit/capita per person per day for Tsunami affected families who have moved to inland
and constructing temporary shelter

(6) Regular septic tank cleaning
(7) Solid waste/toxic fluid clean up
(8) Technical support for designing of water systems for renovation/new construction

Item  (1)  pit  latrines  and  promotion  of  safe  hygiene  activities  will  cover  the  following
villages  (Satitoa-63  h/h,  2.  Lalomanu-36  h/h,  3.  Latopue-32  h/h,  4.  Vailoa-29  h/h,  5.
Ulutogia-27  h/h,  6.  Lutiatele-26,  7.  Vavau,  8.  Lotofaga)  reaching  over  200-  250
households.

Regarding  item (4), other options to meet  immediate water demand include i Extension
of water supply line  from  existing bore holes to  the  affected families by pumping and  ii.
Installation of temporary pipeline from Lake Lanoto. Depending on quality of lake water,
provision of mobile water treatment plant has been foreseen.

In  addition, although water system has been re-established  and truck water distribution
is on-going, it is important to keep monitoring the quality and quantity of water available
to the affected communities, and if water quality or quantity problem is identified, it needs
to be immediately addressed by SWA and WASH partners.

b) HEALTH
The Health cluster was  initiated by WHO, and had  to merge into  the  Ministry  of  Health
coordination of health response, chaired and coordinated by MOH.

1. Needs identified
At  the  early  phase  of  disasters,  emergency  medical  support  was  required.  As  of  15
October,  it  is  reported  that  310  were  injured  due  to  the  disaster.  Public  health  and
nutritional  status  of  the  affected  population  needs  to  be  monitored,  and  campaigns  of
health promotion and public information to support recovery programmes have started.

Electricity,  water  and  sanitation  services  to  infrastructure  need  to  be  fully  restored.
General  waste  management  including  medical  waste  is  another  important  issue.  It  is
also crucial to map the accessibility to health care facilities against current and projected
future population distributions.

The  health  sector  received  health  professionals  personnel  support  from  the  Australian
and  New  Zealand  Governments,  plus  a  range  of  overseas  based  volunteers,  health
professionals  and  others  like  OXFAM,  etc.    However,  when  these  assistance  left,  the
Samoan  NZ  &  Australian  based  nurse  mission  are  still  continuing  their  support  in
collaboration with the Samoa based nursing teams.  Furthermore, the medical & nursing
teams from USA are also on board to assist the local teams with continuous responses
to  the  affected  population. On  the  other  hand,  the  supplementation of  human  resource
capacity in the following key areas also need to be immediately addressed; e.g. medical
&  nursing  mobile/outreach  teams,  laboratory  capacity  (microbiology,  haematology,
biochemistry  and  blood  banking),  infectious  disease  specialist  in  the  surgical/medical
area, nurse specialist in wound management/care.

A  combined  team  of  local  and  volunteer  health  professionals  have  completed  an
assessment  of  the environmental health  issues  to  attempt  to  quantify  the  needs of  the
affected population.  The following are key results from this assessment:

Shelter:
Of the 444 identified family clusters directly affected, all have various shelter issues.  The
priority  for  obvious  health  and  social  reasons  are  those  who  were  identified  as  living
under tarpaulins or tents.

 181 or 41% of the 444 affected family clusters are living under tarpaulins or tents

and urgently need more suitable shelter

 21 family clusters have moved into a school (supplemented by tents)
 The rest of the families are either living in damaged houses or have moved in

with relatives, exacerbating health conditions and health risks due to
overcrowding and the sanitation risks involved.

Water:

 140 or 32% of the family clusters are totally reliant on bottled water and/or water

trucks

 Many of the families relying on water trucks, as well as those relying on

piped/springs/rain tank sources still needed containers as at assessment times.

Sanitation:

 196 or 44% of the family clusters urgently need basic pit latrines to be dug for

excreta waste disposal at a minimum (see also recommendation above under a)).

 70 family clusters urgently need work on proper waste disposal for other wastes

(see also recommendation above under a)).

In  addition,  psycho  social  support  is  another  important  element  which  requires  further
attention.

For  medium  to  long  term  phase,  complete  assessment  of  structural  integrity  of  health
infrastructure  is  required  as  well  as  reconstruction  of  damaged  and  destroyed  health
infrastructure. It will also suggest infrastructure in hazard prone areas and infrastructure
with  poor  access  needs  to  be  relocated.  This  will  need  to  be  addressed  in  the  early
recovery action plans.

2. Activities conducted up to today by the Health Sector

2.1

Clinical (Treatment & Curative)

Primary Health Care Service
Daily  medical  and  nursing  primary  health  care  services  have  been  provided  to  District
Hospitals.  NHS has planned and supplied the capacity and flexibility to mobilise medical
personnel  in  support  of  nursing  teams  as  needs  have  been  identified  in  displaced
populations  currently  living  in  tent  settlements  in  the  hills.    Other  services  have  been
delivered to people with unmet health needs who are living in coastal areas and do not
have transport.

10 teams – 3 teams located at district hospitals and 7 mobile teams made up of medical,
nursing and allied health personnel have been able to provide comprehensive primary
health care to the majority of those needing immediate assistance in the disaster area.

The  mobile  teams  have  been  deployed  on  a  daily  basis  to  areas  of  most  need,  for
example  3  teams  were  sent  to  Manono  Island  over  2  days  and were  able  to  see  over
100 affected people.  This information was shared with public health and other disaster
response services so that appropriate help could be mobilised.

Clinical leaders of all teams are Samoan medical staff. Other volunteer health personnel
have  been  formed  in  to  teams  led  by  Samoan  clinical  team  leaders.  Leadership  by
Samoan  clinicians  is  important  as  it  has  provided  a  working  knowledge  of  local
environment,  local  health  systems,  local  resource  support,  and  has  met  the  cultural,
protocol and language competencies needed for teams to work effectively at the district
hospitals  and  in  mobile  teams  working  in  villages  and  temporary  settlements.  It  has
further  had  the  advantage  of  placing  lower  demand  on  the  NHS  for  orientation  and
ongoing support of medical volunteers.  It has meant that care has been more effective
and has meant primary  medical services have had  the flexibility to  respond promptly  to
new areas of need as they have been identified.

The team structure and processes have meant that the largely volunteer workforce that
has been arriving and leaving episodically has been able to be oriented and replaced as
required with minimum extra demands on NHS.

Mental health issues
The Mental Health Unit of the National Health Services plays the coordination role and it
operates a 24/7 telephone support service in addition to deploying psycho social support

team  to  the  fields.  Samoan  NGOs  are  also  sending  counseling  teams  to  the  affected
areas,  while  church  groups  are  also  providing  counseling.  The  Samoa  Red  Cross  has
mobilized 30 volunteers who  are consistently  providing psychosocial support in parallel
to  relief  distribution.  UNICEF  and  Save  the  Children  coordinated  by  the  MOH  and  the
Ministry  of  Women,  Community  and  Social  Development  conducted  a  psychosocial
training  for  community  volunteers  and  trained  volunteers  are  now  outreaching  to  the
affected communities. UNICEF and Save the Children also provide psychosocial support
through  distribution  of  recreational  kits  and  early  learning  kits,  along  with  briefing  to
promote the use of structured play and child friendly activities to promote the recovery of
children. These kits are provided to the schools and community groups to organize child
friendly activities in the existing buildings such as churches and schools

Psychosocial  and  mental  health  issues  are  also  being  monitored  by  the  medical  &
nursing  primary  health  care  mobile/outreach  teams  and  there  is  close  liaison  with  the
mental  health  team.  Mental  health  issues  of  post  traumatic  stress  type  symptoms  –
hyper vigilance, insomnia and anxiety have been identified.

Emerging health issues
New  problems  are  emerging  in  displaced  populations,  related  to  the  unsafe  living
environments  in  camp settlements. There  are  new  injuries  due  to children standing on
nails  or rusty corrugated iron and injuries  related  to rebuilding homes.  Infected scabies
and  skin  rashes  are  a  major  problem  in  children.  There  have  been  a  few  cases  of
gastroenteritis.

There  is  also a burden  of  unmet  need for chronic  diseases  like  diabetes,  hypertension
and cardiovascular disease. Patients require follow up who have lost their medication in
the Tsunami. Our teams have also reported high numbers of chronic, infected skin ulcers
which need good wound care management.

Ongoing access to enhanced primary health care
Continuing high quality comprehensive primary care made available through the District
Hospitals and some mobile medical team capacity will be required in the disaster areas
to meet these identified needs and support the process of recovery.

An estimated 150 patients were seen daily by the PHC team by the end of week 2 and
week  3  post-Tsunami.    An  additional  100  patients  per  day  were  treated  by  mobile
primary  nursing  teams working  in the  disaster  area  (sometimes  with  the  support  of  our
medical teams where people needing more medical treatment were identified).

It  is  likely  that  without  the  enhanced  primary  medical  care  model,  that  many  of  these
people  would  not  have  been  able  to  access  effective  early  primary  health  care,  which
may  have  led  to  further  morbidity  and  complications  and  increased  demand  for
secondary care services.

These  findings  have  further  strengthened  the  concept  of  strengthening  health  systems
through revitalization of primary health care.

Secondary & Tertiary Health Care Service
The health sector secondary and tertiary level care response to the Tsunami was mainly
on  resuscitating,  retrieving  and  triaging.  This  was  initially  carried  out  by  the  Samoa
Medical  Disaster  Organization  and  the clinical  and  health  allied  staff  of  NHS.  This was

followed  by  the  Australian  Rapid  Response  team,  primarily  trauma  and  surgical.  The
New  Zealand  Disaster  and  Emergency  Response  team  took  over  from  the  Australian
team on day six.

Samoan volunteer Doctors (Specialists and GPs) and Nurses from New Zealand began
arriving on the second day after the Tsunami and were part of the TTM Hospital’s acute
phase response. There were also Samoan volunteer Doctors from America and Canada.

The  third  day  after  the  Tsunami  saw  continuing  admissions  of  a  large  number  of
survivors with multiple fractures, soft tissues injuries and aspiration pneumonia from near
drowning.

2.2

Public Health

Public Health work carried out since the Tsunami is as follows:

Surveillance
To minimise the opportunity of any infectious disease outbreak through the analysis of
clinical data presented to health care service providers and medical teams in the field.

Clinical data from Fusi, Poutasi and Lalomanu Health Centres

Clinical data from TTM

Clinical data from MedCen and GPs

Clinical data from Medical Teams

Clinical data will continue to be collected on a daily basis and reviewed continually as
the need requires.

Environmental Health Assessments
To minimise the opportunity of any infectious disease outbreak by working with
populations on basic hygiene practices and waste control.

Environmental Health Assessment for the East Coast and reporting back urgent
issues

Face to Face Behavioral adaptation and change of displaced populations to
follow assessments.

Mapping of displaced (GIS) mainly concerning population concentration, and
immediate shelter, food, water and sanitation needs.

The  Environmental  Health  Assessment  of  the  affected  areas  has been completed with
data collected as per population and immediate needs per location. This information has
provided a general outline of the area using GIS coordinates.

The Face to Face behavioural adaptation and change work which requires Public Health
workers to work with families on a daily basis to ensure safe occupational health safety,
hygiene  and  sanitation  practices,  will  continue  until  displaced  families  have  secured
permanent living conditions.

Health Promotion
To minimise the opportunity of any infectious disease outbreak by providing awareness
via mass media and targeted IEC materials.

Weekly Radio Programmes

Television spots

Radio spots

IEC Materials to be distributed to displaced families

General  Health  Promotion  via  the  general  for  the  affected  areas  will  continue  until  the
sanitation,  hygiene  and  environmental  health  issues  have  subsided.  Health  Promotion
materials distributed during face to fact interventions will continue as the need requires.

Nutrition
To ensure that food provided to affected communities are compatible nutritionally and as
much  as  possible  cater  for  special  needs  such  a  pregnant women,  babies  and  infants.
Collaborative work with the Health Promotion Team and the Environmental Health Team
ensures  that  nutrition  focused  IEC  materials  are  being  produced  and  that  damaged  or
expired foods are not distributed to affected communities.

A joint UN-Government-NGO Food Security Survey confirmed that the livelihood for the
majority  of  affected  households  included  subsistence  agriculture,  backyard  pig  and
poultry  production for self consumption, and artisanal/subsistence fisheries. In addition,
tourism was  the main source  of cash income. Damage to the plantation was in general
limited,  but most of  the  farming  tools and  equipment have been  lost.  Farmers affected
may  not  be  able  to  carry  out  essential  farming  works  in  the  coming  weeks.  Home
gardens have been totally destroyed. These home gardens are important for a balanced
family diet as most of the nutritious foods come from the garden. MOH under its Nutrition
Program and the MWCSD under its Aiga ma Nuu Manuia Program will continue to work
together in addressing these issues.

A number of pigs and poultry along with fishing gear and canoes were lost. As a result,
the  affected  families  lost  most  of  the  protein  sources  for  their  diets.  Due  to  the  loss,
family  food  security  is  extremely  fragile.  Most  victims  are  at  the  moment  relying  on
external food assistance or moved to live with relatives and/or friends, putting additional
pressure  on  the  limited  food availability.  Providing key  lost assets that  are  essential for
food  security  is  an  urgent  priority,  which  will  enable  rural  households  to  resume  food
production.  The  current  fish  supply  for  the  local  market  in  Samoa  is  reduced  by
approximately  50  percent,  due  to  damage  to  vessels.  The  repair/replacement  of  lost
vessels is an immediate priority for the restoration income generating activities and food
availability in Samoa.

Plan for Actions
The government currently focuses on restoration of priority public health services as well
as priority treatment / curative care services.

In  order  to  assure  the  access  to  treatment/curative  services,  outreach/mobile  teams
need  to  continue  for  the  next  1-2  months.  The  health  sector  through  NHS  plans  to
activate Village Based Centres (Clinics) that were already identified during the Pandemic
H1N1 crisis. These centres will be manned  by the  trained village health volunteers and
will  be  supervised  by  the  NHS  Nursing  &  ICHS  Teams  based  at  District  Hospitals
through  daily  visits.    It  is  proposed  that  these  VBCs  will  run  for  8  weeks.  MOH  also

needs  to  supplement  human  resource  capacity  in  laboratory,  and  medical  specialised
areas.

The health sector  through MOH  also plans  to strengthen prevention and control of  any
disease outbreaks, and  it  requires  immediate construction of at  least  temporary  homes
for  affected  /  displaced  families.    Continuation  of  environmental  /  public  health
assessments  &  surveillance  for  affected  areas  and  new  settlements  –  assisting
displaced families with hygiene behavioural adaptation and change is also crucial. MOH
plans  to continue general  health promotion via mass media  and targeted IEC materials
especially  for  affected  areas  until  the  sanitation,  hygiene  and  environmental  health
issues have subsided. MOH also plans to inspect food relief supplies (quality & safety for
consumption).

Medium and Long term
In  the  medium  to  long  term,  the  health  sector  plans  to  reconstruct  damaged  and
destroyed health infrastructure  and restore health services with basic facilities including
electricity,  water  and  sanitation  in  the  affected  districts,  ensuring  accessibility  of  these
areas  to  health  services  as  it  was  before.  Health  facilities  and  infrastructure  in  hazard
prone  areas  and  infrastructure  with  poor  access  will  need  to  be  relocated.  Emergency
response capacity of the main laboratory will be also strengthened. MOH also requires to
strengthen emergency surveillance systems in place e.g. EWARS and conducts surveys
to document nutritional status and disability

______________________________________TOTAL USD 83,000

c) EDUCATION
1. Needs identified
It  is  confirmed  by  the  Ministry  of  Education,  Sports and  Culture  (MESC)  that  there  are
five (5) schools, four (4) primary and one (1) secondary school, damaged by the tsunami.
The assessment shows that over 1,000 children are affected by the damage/destruction
to these schools. The resumption of schooling for children is the immediate need of the
Education Cluster. This requires the immediate supplying of basic classroom furniture for
students  and  teachers,  access  to  sufficient  safe  water  for  drinking  and  washing  and
sanitary facilities for the host schools where displaced children will join, transportation of
students  from  the  community  to  the  nearby  host  schools,  first  aid  kits,  classroom  tents
for additional space, textbooks, stationeries and recreational play supplies.

2. Activities conducted up to today

The Education Cluster is lead by the joint cooperation of UNICEF and Save the Children
which is closely working with the Ministry of Education, Sports and Culture (MESC).

Secondary students and higher Grade 8 students resumed schooling in the neighboring
host  schools  on  14  October.  It  is  expected  that  all  lower  grade  primary  students  will
resume schooling  the  following  Monday,  19  October.  MESC  and  the  Ministry  of  Health
conducted health, water and sanitation assessments of the schools in the affect areas to
ensure  the environment  is safe for children  to return to the schools. Through the Child-
Protection  working  group  of  the  Protection  Cluster,  recreational  kits  have  been
distributed  as well  training conducted for teachers on the utilization of these  in order  to
lead  structural  recreational  play  for  school  children.  The  government  of  Samoa  has
committed  education  support  including  tents,  water  tanks,  transportation  and  school
supplies  such  as  text  book  and  stationeries  to  the  affected  and  host  schools  while
Education  Cluster  members  are  committed  to  filling  all  the  remaining  needs  gap  such
teacher and student classroom furniture, first aid kits, latrines, water tanks and tents.

3. Needs identified
School  furniture,  first aid kits, additional  latrines, water  tanks and  tents  are  identified as
current  needs.  The  Education  Cluster  have  coordinated  to have  these  fully  covered  by
Education cluster partners: UNICEF, Save the Children, Tear Fund and either ADB or a
joint cooperation of ADB/NZAid/AusAid to be determined by MESC.

4. Cost implication
(1) Year 1-3 student furniture:

US$3,060

(2) Year 4+ student furniture:

US$27,420

(3) Teacher furniture:

government has provided 5 thus 15 tents remain as
an additional requirement)

(5) Water tank:

US$28,000 (13 water tanks)

(6) Latrines:

US$24,000

(7) First aid kits:

US$560

Total: US$114,470

d) PROTECTION
1. Needs identified
The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) became the lead
agency  for  the  Protection  Cluster  and  two  staff  were  deployed  from  Suva  to  Apia  to
coordinate the protection cluster and to promote protection as a cross-cutting issue to be
mainstreamed  into  other  clusters’  planning  and  implementation.  The  protection  Cluster
identified  four  key  areas  of  focus:  1)  displacement  and  durable  solutions,  2) access  to
services and to ensure equal distribution of relief items according to the identified needs,
3)  child  protection  and  4)  psycho-social  support  in  close  collaboration  with  the  Health
Cluster.

2. Activities conducted up to today
The  Protection  cluster  lead  agency  (OHCHR)  has  participated  in  the  early  recovery
assessment  and  highlighted  protection  concerns,  including  those  of  displaced
populations to ensure that durable solutions are in line with the IASC Guiding Principles

on Internal  Displacement,  and concerns around gender and groups with special  needs,
for inclusion into the design and implementation of the assessment.

The cluster also distributed protection checklists for other clusters as well as other IASC
protection  tools  and  guidance,  including  the  IASC  Code  of  conduct  to  humanitarian
actors. The protection cluster reminded all clusters to adhere to the Code of Conduct as
well as other IASC guiding principles.

Psycho Social Support
MOH  plays  the  coordination  role  and  it  operates  a  24/7  telephone  support  service  in
addition to deploying psycho-social support  team  to the  fields. Samoan NGOs are also
sending counseling teams to the affected areas, while church groups are also providing
counseling. UNICEF and Save the Children coordinated by the MoH and the Ministry of
Women,  Community  and  Social  Development  conducted  a  psychosocial  training  for
community  volunteers  and  trained  volunteers  are  now  outreaching  to  the  affected
communities.  UNICEF  and  Save  the  Children  also  provides  psychosocial  support
through  distribution  of  recreational  kits  and  early  learning  kits,  along  with  briefing  to
promote the use of structured play and child friendly activities to promote the recovery of
children. These kits are provided to the schools and community groups to organize child
friendly activities in the existing buildings such as churches and schools

3. Needs identified
The  Protection  cluster  held  its  last  official  meeting  on  8  October,  and  the  regional
protection cluster with the support of country based protection members will follow up on
protection  concerns  during  the  early  recovery  phase.  Registration  of  families  and
children  at  the  shelters  needs  to  be  followed  up  and  it  is  proposed  to  try  to  track  the
more vulnerable  families that may  not  have extended family  support and see  how they
can be supported during the early recovery phase. The Protection cluster will try to find
out  whether  there  are  other  shelters  in  Apia  and  other  locations  accommodating  the
displaced population.

Due  to  the  displacement  of  most  of  the  affected  population,  there  will  be  a  need  to
develop  a  project  to  monitor  over  time  the  disaster  displacement  in  Samoa  and  the
success  of  durable  solutions.  Experience  from  ‘natural’  disaster  situations  in  Asia  and
the Pacific suggest that assumptions cannot be made on preferred options for internally
displaced  persons  (return,  settlement  elsewhere,  or  local  integration)  and  that  much
more information on the motivations and decisions making factors by those displaced is
needed  to  be  able  to  offer  affected  populations  strategies  that  will  eventually  lead  to
durable  solutions.  Return/settlement  elsewhere/local  integration  options  in  Samoa  are
likely  to be sustainable  when  IDPs feel safe and secure, with  no further  risks posed by
the  effects  of  a  natural  disaster;  they  have  been  able  to  establish  residence  in  their
preferred place,  repossess their properties or  homes, and these have been adequately
reconstructed  or  rehabilitated,  or  they  have  received  compensation  for  property
lost/damaged;  and  they  are  able  to  return  to  their  lives  as  normally  as  possible,  with
access  to  services,  schools,  livelihoods,  employment,  markets,  etc.  without
discrimination.

The  OHCHR  team  is  planning  to  return  to  Samoa  during  the  early  recovery  phase  in
order to monitor whether the protection concerns raised by the cluster are mainstreamed
into early recovery activities.

4. Cost implication
None for humanitarian phase.

e) NON FOOD ITEMS (NFI)
1. Needs identified
Since the majority of the directly affected populations were displaced, they require basic
items  including  beddings,  clothing,  WASH  items,  water,  food,  cooking  utensils  and
others from day 1 after the disaster.

Annex 7 provides information on families’ need for food.

2. Activities conducted up to today
Relief  items  were  provided  by  various  organizations  and  groups  including  the
government, Red Cross, NGOs, UN agencies, civil and religious organizations as well as
private donors.

As of 11 October, Red Cross, as a major distributor of NFIs, distributed relief materials to
40 locations including support for the families relocated in Apia, Manono island and
families in damaged villages or supported in neighboring villages in the affected areas.
The items include beddings, clothing, WASH items, water, food, cooking utensils and
others.

The  summary  of  relief  item  donations  and  distribution  as  of  8  October  registered  at
NEOC  is attached  as  annex 1 and Red  Cross distribution as of  10  October  is  attached
as annex 2.

Red Cross is also procuring additional relief items including 54 water tanks, 1000 female
hygiene  kits,  1,500  mosquito  nets  in  addition  to  3  types  of  kits  (1)500  sets  of  “getting
started household kits which includes 45 items such as wire cutters, trowel, string etc (2)
20 sets of Community Tools comprising a cement mixer, ladder wheelbarrow, chain saw,
rivet  machine  and  fuel  cans  (3)  500  sets  of  Demolition  and  Rebuild  Kit  items  such  as
hammers, bush knife, spade, axe, shovel, saw etc. World Vision has been also working
with DMO to distribute NFIs for 2,500 beneficiaries, which includes 10L collapsible jerry
cans,  32,000  water  purification  tablets,  497  family  hygiene  kits,  99  baby  hygiene  kits,
998 tropical blankets, 998 mosquito nets, 497 tarps and equipment for sanitary facilities,
most  of  which  have  been  already  distributed  to  the  affected  communities.  They  are
providing  another  consignment  of  non  food  items  (400 Solar  Powered  Lamps  and  120
Solar Powered Radios) on 17 October.

3. Needs identified
Although  the most urgent  and basic  NFIs needs are considered to have  been  met, the
latest National Emergency Operation Centre (NEOC) situational report as of 14 October
refers to relief items, which are currently needed, which includes

  Building and gardening tools
  Food and water storage containers/water containers
  Hurricane lamps
  Mosquito nets
  Building materials
  Cooking utensils (pots and teapots)

  Cooking stoves (kerosene)
  Transistor radios and batteries
  Dining room tables and chairs
  Bedding

The  Government,  NGOs  and  other  agencies  are  currently  mobilizing  resources  to
procure extra NFIs. Therefore, at this stage it is not yet confirmed exactly what items in
what  amount  are  still  in  gap.  NEOC  is  gathering  information  on  what  relief  items  are
already in the pipeline, and what remains as a gap at this stage.
NEOC will be able to report it back by next week.

4. Cost implication
The amount of the items in needs is not yet quantified at this moment, so that the costing
is not available at this moment.

f) EMERGENCY SHELTER
1. Needs identified
Since the most of the directly affected population, which is estimated to be around 4,500,
are  displaced,  emergency shelter was  a priority  need  in  order  to  physically  protect  the
displaced populations.

Annex 8 provides information on the location of families in emergency shelter.

2. Activities conducted up to today
Samoa  Red  Cross  Society  took  the  lead  in  providing  emergency  shelter  in  the  form  of
tarpaulins  and  tents.  They  also  registered  those  displaced  and  have  distributed  1,147
tarpaulins  and  46  tents  as  of  10  October,  which  is  complemented  by  distribution  of
building tools for housing reconstruction.

3. Needs identified
Regarding  the  provision  of  emergency  shelter  in  the  form  of  tarpaulins  and  tents,  it  is
considered  that  there  is  no  significant  gap  at  this  stage.  However,  this  regards  the
temporary  emergency  shelter  and  considering  the  fact  that  the  rainy  season  begins  in
late  October  in  Samoa,  transitional  shelters  will  be  urgently  needed  until  semi-
permanent/permanent housing is constructed.

A  Shelter  Sub-Committee  meeting  was  held  on  20  October  and  addressed  the  urgent
needs to build shelters. The government aims to start the building of shelters by the end
of  this  week.  It  was  clarified  that  average  unit  cost  of  SAT  18,000  only  includes  the
building materials but not labour and other related costs.

Cabinet  decided  that  the  official  number  of  shelters  to  be  built  in  the  first  round  of
construction will be 425. This number is based on the list of affected families as compiled
by  the  Ministry  of  Women,  Community  and  Social  Development  (MWCSD),  DMO,  Red
Cross  and  Electricity  Power  Corporation  (EPC).  One  family  constitutes  an  extended
family  that  may  consist  of many  nuclear  families.  Regardless  of  the  number  of  nuclear
families,  the  extended  family  will  be  provided  with  one  shelter  in  the  first  round  of
building.  The  design  of  the  shelter  has  been  agreed  upon  among  all  related  agencies
and endorsed by the government.
