GUIDELINES ON EVACUATION CENTER COORDINATION AND MANAGEMENT
1. RATIONALE
‘The Philippines is a disaster prone nation and vulnerable to various natural hazards in.
the form of typhoons, floods, flashfloods, tidal waves tsunami, armed conflict, landslides,
fires and earthquakes. Typhoons and floods usually hits Metro Manila, the provinces of
Pangasinan, Northeastern part of Luzon, Isabela, Bicol, Ormoc and other regions
namely, regions 2, 3 and 4A and B and other parts of Visayas. Flashfloods occurred
several times in Mindanao specifically in the provinces of Agusan del Norte and Sur of
CARAGA Region, Davao del Norte and Davao del Sur of Region XI, Bicol of Region V,
Maguindanao of ARMM and other parts of the country. Volcanic seismic and eruption
hits Zambales, Pampanga and Bicol Region. The country is situated in the circum-Pacific
seismic belt, popularly known as the "Pacific Rim of Fire’,
The Philippines has 200 volcanoes, 20 of which are active. It also has active geological
fault lines crossing our archipelago, thus, making it prone to earthquake and landslides.
such as the Cherry Hills Antipolo of Region IV, Guinsaugon in St. Bernard of Region VII,
Compostela Valley of Region XI, and some parts of the country like CAR. There are also
armed conflict in Basilan and Maguindanao in ARMM and insurgencies in some parts of
the country.
By virtue of Republic Act 7160, also known as the Local Government Code of 1991, the
local governments, specifically the provincial governments, are mandated to provide
immediate basic relief assistance such as food, clothing, psycho-social support, and
emergency shelter to families affected by natural or human- induced. There is a need to
immediately move the disaster affected families to safe evacuation centers or safe areas
because of the threat of or the actual occurrence of disasters which may cause loss of
lives and destruction of properties.
The orderly movement of families to safe evacuation centers and areas (school facilities
, multi-purpose centers, health centers, barangay halls, chapels, churches, government
buildings tents and bunk houses) is one of the most difficult tasks to undertake and
manage when done only during emergencies, Families are oftentimes unwilling to leave
their homes for fear of losing their valuables or because they may feel that their security
at the alternate location cannot be assured. Suitable means of transportation may also
be lacking, .
The safety of the families or population is the primary consideration but the readiness
and resources available for the purpose is oftentimes an issue depending on the
‘magnitude of the disaster where there is a need for massive evacuations to ensure
The entry of the cluster approach in the country started when the Government of the
Philippine (GPH) requested for international assistance through a flash appeal following
Page 1the massive destruction caused by Typhoon “Reming” which heavily affected Bicol
Region with a total of 627, 898 families displaced and damaged 588,031 houses in the
six provinces of Bicol regions namely, Albay, Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte, Sorsogon,
Masbate and Catanduanes.
Asa result, the GPH and UN adopted the Cluster Approach in the country by virtue of
the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) Circular No. 05, series of 2007
issued on May 10, 2007. This formally institutionalized the cluster approach in the
Philippine Disaster Management System, Designation of Cluster Leads and their Term of
Reference at the Nationai, Regional and Provincial level. On January 29, 2008, the then
National Disaster Coordinating Council Technical Working Group (NDCC-TWG)
presented the approach by the cluster leads and designation of lead government agency
counterpart and its members.
On October 6, 2008, pursuant to the pronouncement of the President during the
September 19, 2008 meeting of the ‘Task Force on Humanitarian Assistance on IDPs, the
NDCC Circular No, 5, s. 2007 and No. 4 s, 2008 was amended through Memorandum No.
12 s, 2008, merging several clusters and designation of lead government agencies. This
includes the merging of DSWD lead cluster namely: (1) camp coordination and
management, protection and emergency shelter cluster; and, (2) permanent shelter and
livelihood cluster.
‘The aim of the institutionalization of the cluster approach is to ensure a more coherent
and effective response by mobilizing partner government agencies, organizations and
Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) to respond in a strategic manner across all key
sectors with clearly designated lead agencies in support of the existing government
coordination during disaster.
Further, on May 27, 2010, RA 10121, better known as the Philippine Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Act of 2010 was signed into law, with the corresponding
Implementing Rules and Regulation formulated and published for implementation.
Significant features of the new law include the heavy emphasis on risk reduction and
disaster preparedness which will empower the disaster and emergency responders and
all other actors to proactively undertake measures in reducing the risks and impact of
disasters to the communities and vulnerable families.
In line with the above, this guideline is enhanced to adequately fit into the situations
where new laws, new kind of hazards and population growth are issues and realities to
be considered and where empowerment, capacity building and rights-based principles
are basic concerns. This guideline will serve as guide to all the national government
agencies members of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council
(NDRRMC) in providing technical assistance to the Local Government Units (LGUs)
specifically on the management of evacuation centers and coordination.
With the adoption of the cluster approach in the country and the approval and
implementation of RA 10121, there is a need to enhance and update DSWD AO 36,
series of 1994 to ensure its relevance to current disaster risk reduction and
‘management practices and standards.
Page 2Scope and Coverage
The guidelines cover all activities before, during and after evacuation of families
affected by natural and human-induced disasters including armed conflict.
Specifically, the guidelines aim to: (1) clarify mandates; (2) guide on resource
allocation; (3) provide for designation of responsible offices/persons; and, (4)
mandate the implementation of provisions of law.
The guidelines will guide local government units (LGUs), field offices of national
government agencies, NGOs, private groups and international organizations.
. Where specifically stated, this guideline will govern both localized and major
disasters.

Page 12‘There are many different designs for the construction of toilet facilities which
can achieve the overall objectives. The most appropriate design is dependent on
the space constraints, soil geology, available water, commitment to maintenance,
local sanitation practices and resources available,
The Sphere Standards have key indicators which have a best possible scenario of
20 people per toilet facility. However, this is difficult to achieve because of
resources, space and other considerations. While determining the numbers to be
installed, the EC management team and concerned agency should observe to see
if open defecation is occurring, check to see that existing facilities are functional
and being used, and if there are queues forming as people wait to use the
facilities. Often people only use EC's as a place to sleep and return home during
the day using their own facilities
Based on these observations numbers should be increased until the key indicator

The following table outlines the recommended toilet type based on situation and the
agreed WASH Cluster latrine ratios. These ratios are based on the observation that
populations are mobile throughout the day, and utilising facilities outside the ECs and
transit sites. Regular monitoring of CHO Sanitary Inspectors on the practice of open
defecation and queuingat peak times is to be done. If either is found an issue ratio will
be decreased.

availability of water at each source
4.5. Containment (within WASH)
Page 20451
453.
454.
455.
Faeces, Urine and contaminated water must be contained in such a way so
as to prevent:
a. Contamination of water supplies (leaching surfaces should be 1.5 m
above water table, more than 25m from ground water source)
b. Prevent faeces and contaminated liquid from being spread over the
ground or in fields either through flooding and/or vermin spreading
the faeces (containment tanks, septic tanks)
© Flies from contact with contained materials and then contaminating
food or eating surfaces (water seal bowls, lids, screened vent pipes).
Fly spraying (deltamethrine) is only to be carried out by
professionally trained staff using protective clothing and in event of
diarrheal outbreak.
If water used for anal cleansing and/or flushing, the containment should
be designed such that water has sufficient retention time to reduce
entrained solids before it is leached into the ground (above the water
table) or fed into storm water drains.
Sizing of containment/septic tanks etc. is dependent on the number of
users, soil type and ability to remove and dispose of sludge. Containment
Pits should be designed to only require desludging one time per year.
Ifsludge removal is part of the design then access is required for vehicles
etc so that it can be safely removed.
Construction should use local materials and designed so it is easy to
maintain cleanliness,
. Latrine slab should be smooth and with a slope draining to the drop hole.
Agencies should consider
of latrines for men required.

4.6. Sanitation and Hygiene
46.1.
4.6.2.
463.
Water or other anal cleansing materials must be readily available. For
Water Seal toilets should only be constructed if there is sufficient water
available for flushing within the immediate proximity of the facility
(water point within e.g. 50m)
Hand washing facilities must be designed into or nearby the facility
(maximum distance 10m from the facility)
Implementing agency is responsible for hygiene promotion, training and
strengthening local organizations to maintain and clean the facility.
4.7. Superstructure considerations
47.1
472.
473.
‘Access to the facility must account for all sectors, women, children, elderly
and disabled. Latrines for disabled (1 in 10) should include design
features (rails, ramps, seats) that enable safe access and defecation in
safety and privacy according to age, gender, and disability, with a
minimum of 1 disabled toilet per site.
Provision must be made for the hygienic collection and disposal of
children’s faeces.
Cultural considerations must be considered in design. Gender Separation
and signposting of cubicles is required.
Page 214.7.4. Privacy for users is a primary concern and should be guaranteed. (eg door
should be lockable from inside and latrines should be lit at night in
camps.)
4.7.5. Superstructure must be resistant to normal rain and wind conditions to
protect users
48, Hygiene Promotion
4.8.1, The key to reducing the public health risk is ensuring that the toilets are
used and used correctly. Hygiene promotion programs, that explain the
reasons for using toilets vs. open defecation and changing behaviours (ie.
hand washing, cleaning of plates and cutlery, protection of food from flies
etc.) are needed so that the evacuees will use the facilities and ultimately
Feduce the public health risks.
48.2. Implementation of the facilities depends on good hygiene promotion
strategy that should be sustained by the EC WASH committee and
Barangay Health Workers (BHWs) with guidance from agencies and City
Health Office. The objective is to eliminate the open defecation practices
and change risky behaviours.
4.9, Maintenance of WASH facilities
4.9.1. Maintain sufficient water and anal cleansing materials as well as soap and
water for hand washing
4.9.2. Cleaning of facility so that it does not smell or get muddy
4.9.3. Maintain tocks so that privacy is guaranteed, monitor the conditions of
walling and doors to make sure peepholes are not being made
4.9.4, Each woman's block must have a clearly marked receptacle for disposal of
baby diapers and sanitary napkins
4.9.5. Ensure that access is safe, ie. lights at nights, clean and safe pathways etc.
4.9.6. Agencies installing latrines are responsible for ongoing maintenance for a
3-4 month period, after which time they should ensure adequate
maintenance systems are in place. This includes decommissioning if it's
within the 3-4 month period.
4.10. Dislodging
4.10.1.Faeces over time will decompose. However they will still retain some
volume and eventually any containment system will fill up and either the
facility is sealed up and closed or the containment vessel is emptied.
4.10.2.In this setting, the large number of users in a short time will fill these
containers much quicker. In addition to this, when using water seal
toilets, the amount of water used for flushing cannot be leached into the
ground quick enough or passes through the system quickly and is not
clean enough for storm water drains. In both cases the sludge and black
water needs to be removed and treated on a regular basis.
4.10.3. Different designs:
a. Urinary Diversion Toilets
“In this design, the faeces are purposely collected, along with the
separated urine and processed into fertilizer. This will follow
—
Page 22established processes, however in the emergency situation the
collection and disposal of these materials must be done safely and
timely so as to reduce the possibility of exposure to the displaced
residents. In these areas there are large proportions of children so
extra care must be taken with the storage and disposal of these
materials
b. Portalets, Pit Latrines and Septic Tanks
-These can be manually emptied or emptied by pumps into tanks or
barrels for removal from site. Note that during removal the workers
need to protect themselves and all spills need to be cleaned and
disinfécted. The transportation vessels must be sealed,
4.10.4, This sludge can be treated in several ways:
a. Emptying into existing sewage treatment plants.
b. Lime Stabilization
4.11. Sewage Disposal
4.11.1. Environmental contamination or spillage from trucking of excreta must
be prevented. Final disposal of excreta must prevent exposure of the
general population to health risks. Organizations must only use final
disposal sites as designated by Department of Health
4.11.2.Workers involved in the management, emptying, transport, treatment or
disposal of excreta must be provided with protective clothing, tools and
health and safety advice.
4.11.3, Disposal Site
a. With the influx of portalets which require regularly scheduled
emptying, along with school septic tanks that are now full, a Lime
Stabilization Area is required.
= Atthe landfill 2 pits will be dug (4m x 3m x1.5m deep).
- These will be lined with layers of tarpaulin and plastic to reduce
seepage of untreated waste into the ground,
- The-sewage will be emptied into a pit and mixed with hydrated
lime (5kg/1000liters)
- The PH will be monitored. Target PH is 12 as this will kill all of the
pathogens. More Lime will be added if needed
= Once the first pit is full the second pit will be started. The first pit
will then be emptied of the disinfected sludge and spread over the
landfill as cover.
b. This will require:
- Supply and storage of hydrated lime and other equipment
= Scheduling of emptying of septic tanks and portalets, including
coordination with pumping company, landfill for access and the
camp management to make sure that the truck has access
+ Staffing (cash for work for IDPs)
© Trained to mixin lime
© Measure the PH
© Will need protective clothing
© Will be excavating the full pit and spreading over the landfill
© Inventory of lime, gas and managing the process
~ Pump and hose for dewatering of processed sludge
Page 23,~ Gas for the pump
4.12. Solid Waste Management
4.12.1. Agencies working in the sites will provide rubbish bins at a ratio of 1 bin
per 10 households. A central Collection receptacle should be established
in the designated areas to facilitate emptying by the LGU (and associated
contractors) on a daily basis. LGU contact person should be contacted
directly if solid waste removal is insufficient.
4.12.2. Agencies can augment LGU in the collection system if the need warrant it.
4.13. Vermin Control Program
4.13.1. The Barangay LGU will take care of its own area to conduct spraying,
fumigation, fogging if necessary to control vector borne diseases with the
assistance and support from the DOH and agencies working in the sites.
The DOH-CHDNM will also distribute treated mosquito nets to all affected
areas neecng its assistance.

4.15.1, There shc=Id be an initial assessment of MHPSS needs of persons staying
in the evacuation centers with special focus on direct victims, indirect
victims, vulnerable groups like children, those with pre-existing mental
health conditions, and those who are socially marginalized.
4.15.2. Psychosocial support (PSS) services for parents, male involvement should
be provided by trained PSS personnel
4.15.3.Provision of psycho-social intervention is necessary to enable children
victims of disasters maintain a friendly outward social disposition free
from feeling of animosities and revenge. This will prevent them from
alienation with other children when they will be integrated to their
respective communities.
4.15.4.The children will be provided with developmental and social activities, eg.
Plays, group sessions, counselling and the like to be able to help them
Page 24recover from trauma and bring them back to their normal psychosocial
functionirig.
4.15.5. Promote the IASC - MHPSS Guidelines and its key messages to ensure that
there is appropriate action to address the social risk factors affecting
mental health and psychosocial well-being of IDPs and support groups.
(refer to IASC - MHPSS guidelines)
4.15.6.Be guided that essential clinical psychological and psychiatric
interventions need to be made available for specific, urgent problems.
These latter interventions should only be implemented under the
leadership of mental health professionals, who tend to work in the health
sector.
4.15.7.Including psychosocial consideration in the protection response will
protect the dignity of survivors and enhance the overall protection
respons
4.15.8. Minimum package for MHPSS in the evacuation center following the
MHPSS intervention pyramid for mental health and psychosocial support
in emergencies.
a) Level 1- any service geared towards addressing the acute needs of
the general population in a disaster such as the following :
psychological first aid, provision of basic needs and services, or
coordination with concerned agencies on such, disaster
ori@ntation briefing
b) Level 2 - any service addressed to vulnerable groups to provide
‘community and family support and help restore support systems,
eg, play sessions, provision of child-friendly spaces, formation of
support groups, facilitation of ceremonies and rituals,etc.
©) Level 3 - focused services aimed at managing high risk cases to
prevent and reduce risks of mental health cases and their
consequences , e.g. psychosocial processing (PSP) or debriefing,
counselling etc.
d) Level 4 - specialized services for MHPSS cases, e.g. treatment by
specialists, management in mental health facilities, provision of
psychotropic medications.
4.15.9, Proper coordination mechanisms in the provision of MHPSS services must
be established among different agencies and partners especially among
those with key mandates:
a). DOH: leading MHPSS, health personnel, responders, LCEs
b),DSWD- affected people in evacuation centers especially in assessment
and_ provision of services, in coordination with other agen
¢). DepEd- affected school children
d). PRC- affected people in the community
4.15.10, Screening ox possible high risk cases must made through the use of the Self
Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ) to be facilitated by the evacuation center
‘manager with orientation from the DOH
4.15.11, Referral system for vulnerable groups and high-risk cases must be
established in coordination with the DOH for proper referral, management
and treatment of cases in identified facilities.
4.15.12. Periodic assessment of MHPSS needs must be done to document cases and
issues and to serve as inputs for planning
SS
Page 254.18.13, Networking and cluster coordination activities must be regularly attended
to discuss operational plans and issues.
4.15.14, Reporting of MHPSS services rendered should be done and reports to be
shared with other agencies for proper coordination of activities,
documentation of services and for planning purposes
4.16. Education
4.16.1. Assignment of areas as Child Friendly Spaces (CFS) or Temporary Learning
Spaces (TLS) should be ensured in each evacuation center.
4.16.2. CFS/TLS provide venues for supervised neighbourhood playgroup services,
for pre-schoolers and learning activities for school-aged children.
4.16.3. Determine appropriate approaches sensitive to age and culture to ensure
that educational programmes respect the needs and rights of learners
example flexible school calendar
4.1644. The location of the learning spaces should include easy access to toilets.
Toilets may need to be adjacent to the child friendly spaces and temporary
learning centers because young children frequently supervision when going
