As a country frequently hit by disasters, preparing for disaster response and
recovery is a crucial step in mitigating the devastating impacts of calamities.
This project developed a sports-based intervention as an innovative form of
disaster response, which incorporates the essential elements of psychosocial care.
Initially created to help Physical Education teachers who were survivors of
Typhoon Haiyan, 52 of the beneficiaries of the intervention went on to create
their own sport-based activities for high school students who were also affected
by the super typhoon.
Evaluations and analyses of the intervention highlighted the power of sports in
teaching life and survival skills in an enjoyable way, as well as the value of
teachers’ role as facilitators of sport for disaster recovery. Student participants
revealed the importance of friends, fun, and fairness as integral to their positive
experience of sports. All data-driven themes from the action plans, focus group
discussions and survey responses- connectedness, safety, efficacy, calmness, and
hope –corroborate with the essential elements of psychosocial care, supporting
the potential of sport as a viable component of disaster response and recovery.
