After Yolanda typhoon hit Tacloban on November 2013, around 40.000 homes were damaged and 20.000 completely destroyed. The municipality of Tacloban tagged a massive reallocation of residents in the North area of Tacloban. The following conclusions can be drawn from this research: 1.)temporary settlements have been surveyed around Tacloban area, which are distributed around the city centre and the reallocation are in the North fringe of the islands. Their location, extension and planning are very diverse, and no common pattern can be devised for any of them. 2.)According to the UNHCR standards, all settlements range between block and sector, placing them in the middle range of the classification. There are two of them that are placed between the two categories, depending on the percentage of occupied dwelling and the number of residents. Smaller or bigger settlements are not present. 3.)None of the assessed settlements comply with all the criteria, so that they can be categorized as a settlement that provides residents with a dignified living. The most evident shortcoming is the one related to the camp area per person, which prevents overcrowding that, at last, can lead to other conflicts, such as insecurity and rapid spread of diseases. 4.)All settlements have facilities that are not regulated by the UNHCR, such as the community centres. In turn, recovery and resilience of communities reach beyond the provision of basic facilities and has much more to do with protecting and fostering the bond between families and neighbours.
