I. INTRODUCTION
Typhoon is a common weather disturbance in the Philippines. On the average, about twenty (20)
typhoons visit the country yearly (http://disasterphilanthropy.org/archived-disasters/typhoons-inthe-philippines/, February 2016). Due to the climatic changes that the Earth is experiencing, the
occurrence of destructive typhoons is becoming more frequent than in the past decades.
Winds brought about by these typhoons often caused damages to coconut palms especially those
planted along the typhoon corridor of the Philippines. Yearly, a number of coconut palms are
either destroyed or partially damaged by the typhoons that pass through these areas, and
coconut farmers are left to replant the damaged palms on their own. However, after significantly
strong typhoons, when the destruction to coconut plantations and property are substantial, the
retrieval of toppled-down palms and rehabilitating their farms rests on the shoulder of Philippine
Coconut Authority (PCA).
PCA, whose mission is to promote the development of a globally competitive coconut industry that
would contribute to improved farmers income, enhanced participation of its stakeholders and food
security, must always be the primary agency in determining typhoon-related damages to the
industry such that immediate assistance to coconut farmers can be extended and rehabilitation
plans for the farmers coconut plantation can be worked out accordingly.

II. RATIONALE
Post typhoon assessment is a difficult task to accomplish accurately, owing to shortness of time
required to gather information, the damages to infrastructure especially road networks that limit
mobility, and more importantly assessors themselves may still suffer from trauma brought by the
just concluded typhoon. Without a good assessment guide, accuracy of reported data may be
compromised by the aforementioned factors.
Adoption of a new protocol in gathering damage assessment data in typhoon-affected coconut
plantations is paramount to produce consistent, accurate, and reliable reports. These demanding
criteria can only be met by providing a clear and scientific protocol in assessing damaged palms
using satellite images of the typhoon (from PAGASA), categorization of likelihood of damage
based on typhoon path, the use of quadrat/transect data sampling, and the use of modern
technologies like global positioning system (GPS), digital camera with embedded coordinates to
provide verifiable photographs.
This Typhoon Damage Assessment Protocol is therefore intended to improve the consistency,
accuracy and reliability of field reports which can be used by Management in planning
immediate actions for the rehabilitation and restoration of coconut farm productivity.

III. OBJECTIVES
1) To establish PCA typhoon damage assessment protocols; and
2) To ensure the accuracy, consistency and reliability of damage assessment data.
IV. GENERAL PROVISIONS
The immediate and appropriate response of PCA requires a dependable mechanism to
assess the damage after every typhoon-incidence. To achieve this objective, a dedicated
monitoring system will be established, and maintained by PCA. This monitoring system will
include the following:
1. National Task Force for Typhoon Damage Assessment for Coconuts (NTF-TDAC)
Duties:
i. Undertakes pre-typhoon preparations;
ii. Obtains weather bulletins/advisories from PAGASA and relays advisories to the
Regional Managers of areas along the predicted typhoon path;
iii. Consolidates the regional typhoon damage reports;
iv. Recommends to the Administrator appropriate measures for the rehabilitation of
typhoon-affected coconut areas.
v. Coordination with the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council
NTF-TDAC shall be composed of Deputy Administrators from
i. Research and Development Branch (RDB)
ii. Operations Branch (OB)
iii. Administrative and Finance Branch (AFB)
2. Barangay Text Brigade Network (PCA-BTBN)
The PCA-BTBN will serve as primary source of information of any typhoon damage
inflicted in their respective barangays. The reports, however, should be factual and
quantitative data only. There shall be one (1) PCA-BTBN member in every coconut
barangays within the typhoon-belt. To be a member, the coconut farmer shall have a
cellular phone and is required to report to the designated cellular number of DAVT.
3. Damage Assessment and Validation Team (DAVT)
DAVT shall be created per province located along the typhoon corridor- Regions I, II, III,
IV-B, Regions IV-A, V, VI, VII, VIII, and CARAGA. Other regions not included in the
typhoon corridor are also required to establish their own DAVTs for preparedness. The
number of DAVTs per province is dependent on the geographic size of the area. The
DAVTs shall coordinate with their respective PDRRMC and RDRRMC to ensure coherence
of data.

Page 3

The DAVT is solely responsible in assessing damages to coconut stands brought about by
a typhoon. It shall be composed of:
a. Senior Agriculturist
b. Agriculturist II
c. Agriculturist I
d. SCFO President/representative
e. Barangay Kagawad (for Agriculture) / MAO
Each DAVT shall be equipped with
a. Global Positioning System (GPS) with camera (1)
b. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or Drones equipped with HD Camera & GPS (1)
c. Computer laptop (1)

4. Conduct of Training
The Operations Branch (OB) and Research and Development Branch (RDB) shall
formulate a familiarization training program on PCA-TDAP. This shall be conducted
yearly to DAVTs, PCA-BTBN, PCA Agriculturists, SCFOs, farmers organizations (FOs),
LGUs thru the MAOs, and other coconut industry stakeholders. This annual training will
ensure the reliability of reported damage assessment data after any typhoon incident.
5. Budget Allocation
A Quick Response Fund (QRF) representing five percent (5%) of the PCA annual budget
shall automatically set aside for the said purpose. Such funds shall be prorated based on
the coconut population in their respective area of responsibility and dispensed to the
different Regional and Provincial Offices in Regions IV-A, Regions I, II, III, IV-B, V, VI, VII,
VIII, and CARAGA at the beginning of the year. QRF shall be downloaded to the
aforementioned PCA Offices at the start of the calendar year or as soon as funds are
received from the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and shall be used for
quick response and rehabilitation purposes only.

V. TYPHOON-DAMAGE ASSESSMENT PROTOCOL

1. Pre-Typhoon Preparation
A. National Task Force for Typhoon Damage Assessment for Coconuts (NTF-TDAC)
The National Task Force for Typhoon Damage Assessment for Coconuts (NTF-TDAC) shall
establish a national database related to coconuts including but not limited to the
following:
1. Coconut Statistics
Current coconut statistics (data up to the barangay level) shall be maintained to
include the number of coconut palms planted per barangay (bearing, non-bearing
and senile), the yearly nut production rate, the land area corresponding these coconut
plantations, and the number of coconut farmers and dependents. NTF-TDAC shall
periodically ensure this coconut statistics database must be in consonance with those
from the Philippine Statistics Administration.
2. Maps
Maps must be maintained in every PCA Office, detailing political boundaries, road
networks, and contour of the geographic area it covers. Reliable secondary maps
shall be secured from the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority of
the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR-NAMRIA). For
compatibility purposes, primary maps derived from coconut industry data shall
adhere to the mapping standards of NAMRIA.
3. Disaster-related equipment
Inventory of disaster-related equipment like chainsaws and mobile sawmill shall be
maintained. This will enable NTF-TDAC to provide the Administrator recommendations
on the movement of such equipment to provide immediate assistance after a typhoon
incidence.
NTF-TDAC is required to set up a computer server that will receive and log short
messages (text) from PCA-BTBN members and concerned individuals.
The NTF-TDAC shall ensure the timely provision of data/advisories to provinces which
are likely to be affected by typhoons. Data to be provided shall include but shall not
be limited to typhoon intensity, expected typhoon path, expected rainfall volume, as
well as expected typhoon radius.
B. Barangay Text Brigade Network (PCA-BTBN)
Upon knowledge of the path of the incoming typhoon from PAGASA advisory, the PCABTBN shall disseminate such advisory through cellular short text messages (SMS) and
remind members to prepare for the incoming typhoon and making sure that members
cellphone must be fully charged prior to the cutting-off of electrical power. Likewise,
PCA-BTBN member shall also be reminded to use other alternative modes of
communication available in the affected locality (e.g. CB radio) to report damages in
case of cellular network failure.

Page 5

C. Damage Assessment and Validation Team (DAVT)

DAVT must secure advisories from NTF-TDAC regarding the strength of the incoming
typhoon and its projected path. Likewise, the team must see to it that batteries of GPS,
cellphones, two-way radios and other battery-operated gadgets that will be needed by
the team are fully charged and readily available.
The DAVTs must coordinate with their respective Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction
Management Councils (PDRRMC) to ensure their complementation with the PLGUs
respective disaster risk management framework, sharing and reconciling data and in
identifying means to collaborate with the PDRRMC.
2. Post Typhoon Assessment
A. Identification of Typhoon Path
The NTF-TDAC shall secure typhoon bulletins from PAGASA so that possible devastation
areas can be located and assessed (see sample in Figure 1).
Summary of typhoon bulletins can provide data on where exactly the typhoon passed
through.

Figure 1. PAGASA advisory on the path of Typhoon Nona.

B. Categorization of Potential Areas of Vulnerability

The NTF-TDAC shall categorize areas along the typhoon paths into three intensity zones:
1. Highly Vulnerable Zone
2. Moderately Vulnerable Zone
3. Slightly Vulnerable Zone
NTF-TDAC shall provide affected PCA Regional Offices with the plotted typhoon path
and identified affected provinces segregated into the three intensity zones (see sample
in Figure 2).

C. Initial Typhoon Damage Data

The concerned PCA Regional Manager shall verify the possible affected areas provided
by the by NTF-TDAC with the a) SMS collected from PCA-BTBNs (including those
barangays which is considered permanent monitored barangay (PMB), b) Coconut
Development Officers (CDOs), and from the c) reports taken from the respective
Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils. The initial reports based on
vulnerability shall then be consolidated in the Regional level and submitted to the NTFTDAC.
D. Quadrat/Transect Sampling
The Regional Manager shall use modified Quadrat/Transect Sampling method in
randomly identifying the barangays to be assessed (sample sites):
1. A permanent Quadrat should be established per Province. These grids (North-South
and East-West orientations) shall be 25 kilometers apart. Barangays which fall at the
intersections of these grids shall form as permanent monitored barangays (PMBs).
2. Coconut statistics shall be annually updated in each PMB and shall be compiled by
respective PCA Provincial and Regional Offices.
3. After a typhoon incident, PCA-BTBN member of each of these PMBs shall render a
factual report to their respective PCA Provincial Offices. The report should include the
number of toppled down and decapitated palms only (Figure 3).
4. The Division Chief of each Province shall translate the report from PCA-BTBNs into
color-code depending on the severity of damage to coconut palms planted therein:
WHITE

0-5%

YELLOW

6-25%

ORANGE

26-50 %

RED

51-100%

Page 7

Typhoon Damage Assessment Protocol For Coconuts

5. Five (5) permanent monitoring barangay per municipality with reported damages to
coconuts of above 6% will be randomly selected and shall be included in the list of
identified barangays (IB) for slated for ocular inspection. Barangays (not PMB) with
reported damage above the 26% (Orange and Red Codes) will likewise be included
in the said list.
6. The identified barangays to be assessed shall be sent to Division Chief I of affected
areas.

Figure 3. Plotted grid lines relative to the typhoon path.

E. Ocular Inspection
Upon the receipt of the IBs, the Division Chief I shall convene the DAVTs, provide them
with the necessary provisions, and dispatch the same to their respective areas of
assignment.
The DAVT shall coordinate with the Barangay Chairman prior to the actual assessment.
Initial information on the damages to coconuts shall be secured to aid the DAVT in
selecting at least 3 sample sites within the barangay. Sample site selection shall be
based on the reported damages, the topography of the area, and the distance from the
center path of the typhoon.

Page 8

Typhoon Damage Assessment Protocol For Coconuts

1. At the sample site, the DAVT shall undertake the following data collection:
i. Area of the sample site
Area to be sampled shall be at least one (1) hectare. This can be obtained using
GPS. Activate the area calculation function of the GPS prior to walking around
the perimeter of the sample site. Upon returning the starting point of the tract,
press calculate. The exact area as determined by the GPS shall be recorded.
Exact area determination is needed together with the actual count of all coconut
palms within the sample area (toppled-down and still standing palms) in the
determination of coconut density.
ii. Photos
Four (4) documentary photos must be taken per sample site. For consistency, the
mandatory photos shall be taken at the central portion of the sample site.
1) Center of the sample plot
After recording the coordinates (using waypoint) and after determining the
east using the GPS, take four (4) photographs in each of the east, west,
north, and south directions. All photographs shall be taken with the same
coordinates.
2) Aerial photographs with 1000m radius
Using a drone equipped with GPS camera, photos and video clips within
1000m radius will be taken.
iii. Damage assessment to coconut palms
The damage assessment to palms within a sample site (see sample in Figure 4)
shall include the actual count of following:
1. Damaged Beyond Recovery
a. toppled down
b. crownless (severed crowns)
2. Survivor Palms
a. moderately damaged
b. heavily damaged

within four (4) days from the start of the assessment.
G. Data Consolidation
1. The average percent damage of at least 5 barangays sampled per municipality
will be determined.
2. Percent damage from the coconut baseline statistics of the said municipality shall
be projected to determine the estimated damage.
3. The degree of damage shall be translated into representative color and shall be
plotted on the map for easier visualization:
WHITE
YELLOW
ORANGE
RED

0-5%
6-25%
26-50%

H. Damage validation
In situations where there exist a great disparity between the estimated degree of
damage to coconuts in a particular area and those damage counts (data) from other
government agencies, the Regional Manager may opt for a re-validation through thirdparty organization.
I. Time of Reporting
The damage assessment to coconuts shall be done at the shortest possible time without
compromising its accuracy.
To instill conformity and responsibility, the following

VI. ESTIMATION OF PRODUCTION AND ECONOMIC LOSSES

Economic losses due to typhoon shall be estimated. It will account the direct loss of income of
farmers brought about by the loss of mature nuts. Likewise, income opportunity losses due to
the damaged immature nuts, non-flowering of coconut palms 2-3 years for those palms whose
leaves are heavily mutilated/defoliated and other typhoon-related plant stresses that causes
reduce nut production.
To estimate the cost of damages in coconut, use the formula below:
1. Direct Losses
a. Palms Damaged Beyond Recovery (PDBR)
Economic Loss (ELPDBR) = (Number of toppled down or decapitated palms)
x (Average nut production per harvest)
x (Remaining harvest for the year)
x (price of copra, average from previous year)
b. Fallen Nuts (FN)
Economic Loss (ELFN)

= (Number of moderately- & heavily- damaged palms)

x (Average nut production per harvest)
x (remaining harvest per year)
x (price of copra, average from previous year)

2. Opportunity Cost (OC) Until Full Recovery

Palms Damaged Beyond Recovery (PDBROC)
= (Number of toppled down or decapitated palms)
x (Average nut production per year)
x 4*
+ Replanting cost per palm**
Heavily-Damaged Palms (HDPOC)
= (Number of heavily-damaged palms)
x (Average nut production per year)
x 5***
+ Fertilization cost per palm per year****
Moderately-Damaged Palms (MDPOC)
= (Number of moderately-damaged palms)
x (Average nut production per year)
x 4*****
+ Fertilization cost per palm per year****
_____________
* Number of years to produce substantial harvestable nuts
** (P50,000 cost of replanting per hectare/100 palms per hectare)
*** Assumptions: 3 years to restore full foliage and 2 years to full restoration of
normal nut production
**** 2 kg of Complete (NPK: 14:14:14) fertilizer per year
***** Assumptions: 2 years to restore full foliage and 2 years to full restoration of
normal nut production

Typhoon Damage Assessment Protocol For Coconuts

VII. LIMITATIONS
This protocol strives to provide a good estimate of the number of typhoon-affected palms
and their varying degrees of damage brought about by a typhoon incident by adopting
(with modifications) Transects and Quadrats sampling techniques. Transects and quadrats are
often used to quantify the relative abundance of organisms in a locality. In this Protocol, the
varying degrees of damages to coconut palms within a locality will be the organisms of
interest. Being the case, the accuracy of the damage estimates is not absolute as the effect
of typhoon on coconuts is erratic especially in weaker typhoons (stronger typhoons
obliterates most everything along its path). Other factors that may affect the accuracy are
the accessibility of the sampling site (interior and hard to reach coconut plantations) and the
shortness of time needed to do the assessment.
