International: Philippines conference

The importance of building on lessons learned in previous large-scale crisis situations such as the Haiti earthquake, together with a desire for good coordination of the ongoing response to the destruction caused by Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013, formed the basis of a partnership conference hosted by The Salvation Army's The Philippines Territory. The conference, timed to take place as the immediate emergency response comes to its natural conclusion, met to discuss how the continuum of response from emergency to early recovery and development could best be managed.
