Disaster Response

Under the Disaster Response Program, Operation Blessing has a three-pronged approach:

disaster preparedness and management training

relief goods distribution, and

recovery and rehabilitation.

One example of OB’s rehabilitation project after Typhoon Yolanda is the Community of Hope (COH) – a resettlement project in Tacloban that aims for a sustainable community through provision of housing and livelihood programs.
