More Info About the Typhoon
- All of the Missionaries have been found and are safe and accounted for. As far as we know, all of the families of the missionaries serving in the Cauayan Mission who are from that area are safe, although many have lost their homes and belongings.
- The Tacloban Mission has been closed. All of the missionaries have been evacuated to Manila and treated for wounds and illnesses caused by the typhoon.
- All of the missionaries from the Tacloban Mission have been reassigned to 11 of the 21 other Missions in the Philippines. To make room for all of the reassignments, many missionaries who were in the 11 Missions that took in Missionaries who were going home in the next two months have been asked to go home early, and are now home or on their way home.
- The Cauayan Mission was not asked to receive any of the reassigned missionaries from the Tacloban Mission, I assume because of distance and the fact that those missionaries spoke Cebuano, not Tagalog.
- The Tacloban Mission home was flooded and damaged during the typhoon and storm surge but will now be quickly cleaned, repaired, and used for a command center for disaster relief operations for the members and communities in the mission.
- A total of 43 Church buildings were damaged by the storm in that area, 12 with major damage and 31 with minor damage.
- Seven trucks with supplies for members have reached stakes and districts in the Tacloban area. Tens of Thousands of food boxes and hygiene kits have been prepared by church members and and sent to those effected.
