Abstract
The second edition of the ILO’s rapid assessment on the impact of Super Typhoon Rai (Odette) across ten regions in the Philippines aims to provide insights into the impact of the typhoon on workers and supplements the ongoing, post-disaster assessments that are currently being conducted in the field.The rapid assessment extends on established ILO methodologies used previously to support post-disaster recovery efforts, including the Super Typhoon Haiyan response in 2013. The assessment is based on information published daily by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) on families and persons affected by Typhoon Odette, baseline data from the Philippines Statistics Authority (PSA) 2020 Population Census and recent quarterly national labour force surveys.
