On 17 February 2005, a portion of Mt. Kan-abag caused a mudslide and covered Guinsaugon, St. Bernard, So. Leyte. At least 1,000 were killed.
"I was 3rd year (HS) at that time when the tragedy happened... Noong nangyari ang time na yon, hindi ko talaga alam kung ano ang aking gagawin.. Lahat nalang nawala pati na ang tatay ko. Hirap mawalan ng mahal sa buhay, hindi ko talaga kaya. Mabait pa naman yung tatay ko, kahit na may lagnat pa siya ay pumupunta na siya sa bukid para lang magkapera.... Proud ako sa mga parents ko kasi pinalaki nila kaming mabuti at pinag-aral...hindi madaling maka-move on lalo na kung, lahat ay nawala sayo.. Thankful parin ako kay GOD, kasi buhay parin kami..lalo na yung nanay ko...."
For those left behind, it has caused them to be deeply wounded by the painful experience…
TRAUMA (n.) emotional shock following a stressful event.
Origin late 17th cent.: from Greek literally 'wound.'
Disaster management is not just about relief goods or building houses. Beyond the material needs, there is also a human side to it and it is addressed by psychosocial intervention.
Psychosocial intervention assists the survivors of disasters empowering them to rise up against the emotional losses and thus enabling them to see the meaning of life despite what they've experienced.
IMPUKAN (Impok at Ugnayan Para sa mga Kababayang Nasalanta) aims to enhance the existing collection system of the Disaster Management Unit of the Simbahang Lingkod ng Bayan. Recognizing that rapid response to disasters is crucial, the ultimate goal of the enterprise is to ensure that there will always be available funds for SLB to disburse even before a natural calamity is foreseen. The funds to be collected will be utilized for the psychosocial intervention that the SiLABan (Sikolohiyang Lingkod Alay sa Bayan) offers to survivors of natural calamities. The innovation lies in the fact that collection is done beforehand so that SLB is prepared to respond immediately to disasters without waiting for donations to come.
