TFBM deploys PCNA Teams in Marawi City

From the Philippine Information Agency (Oct 16): TFBM deploys PCNA Teams in Marawi City



Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) sent out Post Conflict Needs Assessment (PCNA) teams composed of various national and local government agencies in 24 barangays in Marawi City.

According to Assistant Secretary Kristoffer Jame Purisima, Office of Civil Defense (OCD) Deputy Administrator and TFBM spokesperson, each team was assigned to assess a number of barangays declared cleared by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and which were referred to as Zones 0 to 12.

The team left the National Emergency Operations Center (NEOC) in Iligan City on October 16 to assess the damages and losses incurred due to the still-ongoing conflict.

Purisima said that before the field deployment, security briefings and re-orientations on the PCNA process were conducted at the NEOC on 14 and 15 October 2017.

The target date of completion for the field deployment, including data analysis, consolidation, and report development is on 27 October 2017.

He also said Damage and Losses Assessment (DALA) in uncleared areas identified as Zones 13 to 17 shall commence immediately once the AFP’s clearing operations are completed.

The Human Resource Needs Analysis (HRNA), as part of the PCNA, was already completed as early as August 2017. TFBM awaited for the clearance from the AFP in order to proceed with the DALA.

While the conflict was ongoing, TFBM focused on providing assistance for the internally displaced persons (IDPs), both home-based and in evacuation centers.

This was made possible through the TFBM member agencies in partnership with affected local government units and stakeholders.

Five OCD-led teams is composed of 145 members from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Department of Education (DepEd), Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC), Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Mines and Geosciences Bureau (DENR-MGB), Technical Skills and Education Development Authority (TESDA), National Electrification Administration (NEA), National Housing Authority (NHA), Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB), Social Housing Finance Corporation (SFHC), Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) and Marawi City Local Government Unit.

PCNA result will be the basis for comprehensive recovery and reconstruction program for Bangon Marawi. (TFBM)
