This also includes provision by LGUs of support system and psychosocial services
for women and children who are traumatized because of the calamity suffered.
Psychosocial services are greatly needed during these times. (CAR)
Food Security
Accounts have been documented that specific needs of women are often not
addressed during emergency situations. It is recommended that LGUs ensure
gender responsive delivery of services. This should include provisions of prenatal
services for pregnant women like Tetanus Toxoid injection, breastfeeding and/or
supplemental feeding. (Region 9).
Health
It has been noted that women, children, sick people and the elderly lack medical
attention. Hence, LGUs should ensure that health personnel and services are
available in transitory sites to cater to the needs of sick people especially pregnant
and lactating women, the elderly, and sick children.
Interventions for victims of displacement and calamities should include
provisions for psycho-social services especially for women and children who were
subjected to severe trauma.
Shelter: Safe and secure evacuation centers/ transitory sites
Women should be given more privacy, also taking into consideration the families
with daughters. (Region 9). In CAR, it was recommended that there should be
separate evacuation centers for PWDs, pregnant women, men, and women with
their children to have an organized and specific catering of their needs.
