Time Critical Debris Management in Areas Hardest Hit by the Bohol Earthquake

The project aims to facilitate the early recovery of communities in at least ten municipalities affected by the earthquake in the province of Bohol through the implementation of an integrated early recovery support programme. In particular, the programme has the following objectives: • Clear rubbles and debris through cash for work activities; reducing health risks while providing income to affected population; • Prove comprehensive debris management support to LGUs including recovery of recyclable materials and safe final disposal of both earthquake and domestic wastes; • Support to the construction / repair of community service infrastructures; and • Enhance community resiliency through mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) into early recovery interventions to reduce vulnerability and sense of insecurity; promote unity and community self-help
