The Philippines’ rehabilitation efforts in areas devastated by Super Typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan) proves to be a disaster in itself 6 months on. A governance and climate change specialist said the country’s system is “designed to fail for massive disasters.” The government, he said, have to improve on the “most important matters,” namely providing permanent housing and immediate jobs for the survivors of one of the world’s strongest typhoons. Authorities has not even “paid attention to the next disaster.” The government has yet to draft a overall rehabilitation plan. The President’s secretary for rehabilitation efforts said two things slow down government efforts: too much bureaucracy and too little authority given the rehabilitation czar. — Rappler.com
