Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) sends out Post Conflict Needs Assessment (PCNA) Teams composed of various national and local government agencies in twenty-four (24) barangays in Marawi City.
Five OCD-led teams composed of 145 members from DOST, DTI, DepEd, DSWD, DPWH, HUDCC, DICT, NEDA, DENR-MGB, TESDA, NEA, NHA, HLRUB, SFHC, LWUA and Marawi City LGU left the National Emergency Operations Center (NEOC) in Iligan City this morning to assess the damages and losses incurred due to the still-ongoing conflict.
Each team was assigned to assess a number of barangays declared cleared by the AFP and which are referred to as Zones 0 to 12. 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.
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.
It can be recalled that 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. (OCD-PR)
