In the aftermath of Typhoon Odette, ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳Philippines deployed teams (from 3-8 January 2022) to initiate parallel rapid needs assessment in six provinces ¨C Bohol, Cebu, Palawan, Leyte, Southern Leyte and Negros Occidental ¨C across four regions (Western, Central and Eastern Visayas plus MIMAROPA). These assessments targeted areas that were hit by the typhoon but not covered or prioritized in initial multi-sectoral assessments undertaken in December 2021. Data gathered by ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳in January 2022 has helped establish a picture of typhoon impacts, beyond the Caraga region, and addressed crucial information gaps from areas which were either inaccessible or suffered severe communication challenges in the days following Odette¡¯s landfall.
