Background. The Cali Transitional Site is a supposed temporary relocation site for victims displaced because of Typhoon Haiyan (“Yolanda”) in 2013. The site was co-sponsored by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Government of Nepal, All-Hands Volunteers, Samaritan’s Purse and the Department of Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). The in-land site, provided by the local government unit (LGU), accommodated about 120 households from the coastal area of Barangay 88 in Tacloban City. Planning Considerations. The design and implementation of the project was carried out by IOM, with planning inputs from Architect Amillah Rodil, an alumna of the UP College of Architecture, who was then volunteering for the Tacloban Housing Department. The main challenge was the limitations in time, as site clearing and grading will be performed in a week. The team had to plan quickly, but without compromising the character, basic operations and safety of the site. Sustainability and Resilience Features.
