The first Emergency Appeal (MDRPH056) was published on 31 October 2024. Since then, the situation has evolved significantly, with new tropical cyclones entering the country and others projected to make landfall in the coming days. This scenario presents a need for a more comprehensive, widespread and agile response and recovery strategy that can address the rapidly changing needs of affected people, resulting from the compounded impacts of successive tropical cyclones. 

The proposed revision encompasses the effects of all the recent tropical cyclones, including the two upcoming storms (Typhoon Usagi/ Ofel and Tropical Storm Man-Yi/ Pepito) expected shortly. Given the broad impact of multiple cyclones, the appeal has been renamed “Philippines – Typhoons and Floods”. The revised Emergency Appeal has been scaled-up to support 86,250 people (17,750 families) instead of the original target of 71,250 people (14,250 families). Additionally, the geographical scope has been extended to include four heavily impacted provinces, now covering 12 of the most affected provinces in the Philippines. This selection considers both current and anticipated TC impact zones, including direct paths and areas to be impacted by the storm’s troughs and tails. New interventions have been included to address emerging needs, especially emergency shelter assistance and school repairs.
