83% of the respondents said that their relatives were there within one week after Typhoon Yolanda, followed by members of their community (78.3%) and friends (73.1%)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The local governments and their family members were the first that came to aid majority of affected residents when Typhoon Yolanda struck their communities last year, according to a survey.<\/p>\n

The survey, conducted by IBON in six provinces of hardest-hit Eastern Visayas, shows that immediate relief and rescue by the local government units (LGUs) was felt most by 59% of the 1,094 respondents. This is followed by aid from their relatives with 41% of respondents. Others that came to their aid were local NGOs and foreign NGOs (24.5%), church workers and other religious groups (13.6%), friends (11.9%), and private individuals unrelated to them (11.4%). Only 10% said that they felt immediate aid from the national government.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 12% of the respondents said that no one provided immediate aid to them, while 2% did not identify any person or institution that provided immediate aid.<\/p>\n

Asked how long before aid reached the affected residents, 83% of the respondents said that their relatives were there within one week after Typhoon Yolanda, followed by members of their community (78.3%) and friends (73.1%). The national government was the least felt with only 19.1% of the respondents saying they were there within one week.<\/p>\n

Beyond immediate relief and rescue, 42.5% of the respondents identified the local government as continuously providing aid for the affected families, followed by their relatives (35.6%). Foreign and local NGOs were also cited by 19.9% and 15.4% of the respondents respectively. However, it is significant to note that there is a 27.5% share of respondents who said that nobody provided continuous aid to them after Typhoon Yolanda.<\/p>\n

The survey, which aimed to study the impact of Typhoon Yolanda, was conducted from September 26 to October 8 in the provinces of Biliran, Eastern Samar, Leyte, Northern Samar, Western Samar, and Southern Leyte. The survey has a total of 1,094 respondents and has a margin of error of plus or minus three percent. (end)<\/p>\n

Below is the tabulation of the respondents\u2019 perception on the immediate and continuous aid that they received after Typhoon Yolanda hit their communities.<\/em><\/p>\n
