Responding to impacts of tropical storm wipha, typhoon CO-may, and southwest monsoon flooding

The Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) awarded the International Organization for Migration (IOM) a $250,000 Project Grant under the Overseas Refugee Assistance Program for South Asia (CFDA 19.523) to respond to the impacts of Tropical Storm Wipha, Typhoon Co-May, and Southwest Monsoon flooding in the Philippines. The award was obligated on July 31, 2025, with a completion date of November 1, 2025, representing a compressed performance period of approximately three months to address emergency humanitarian needs resulting from these natural disasters.

Under this grant, IOM is expected to deliver humanitarian assistance and protection services consistent with internationally accepted standards of care, which typically include emergency relief, shelter materials, water sanitation and hygiene infrastructure, healthcare services, and other life-sustaining resources for affected refugee, internally displaced, and vulnerable populations in the Philippines. As an international organization with extensive operational capacity in the region, IOM will leverage its expertise in displacement management and humanitarian response to provide rapid relief and recovery support to communities impacted by the tropical weather events.
