This is to update members on what the Emergency Services in Wales will contribute as part of the UK relief operation arising from the typhoon in the Philippines.


We have a great record across all our Emergency Services of contributing resources to relief operations at home and abroad. As Chair of the Wales Resilience Forum I meet regularly with the senior officers from the Emergency Services and other responder agencies in Wales. I fully recognise and appreciate the dedication and commitment of our Emergency Services personnel to serve their own communities and to offer their support to rescue efforts anywhere in the world where peoples’ lives are in danger.  


In recent years, seven fire\-fighters from Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service helped the international rescue effort following the Haiti earthquake in 2010\.  As members of the international search and rescue team they were able to rescue a two year old girl and a thirty\-nine year old woman from the rubble of collapsed buildings.  We should all be proud of the work they did and the continued willingness of all Emergency Services staff in Wales who are prepared to work in difficult and often dangerous conditions, putting their own safety on the line to help others in need.


We have all witnessed the tragedy which has unfolded in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan and our thoughts are with those affected.


Wales has representation on the European Civil Protection Mechanism which exists to support the mobilisation of emergency assistance from Participating States in the event of major emergencies. Unlike the earthquake in Haiti, the situation in the Philippines has been assessed as one of humanitarian concern rather than a rescue situation. Consequently, the main requirements of the country are shelter, food, water and medical assistance. For this reason there has been no call for assistance from our Emergency Services at this time but UK International Search and Rescue continues to monitor the situation and we stand ready to help if required.


An urgent appeal has been launched by the Disasters’ Emergencies Committee (DEC) to raise money to help get food, water, shelter and medicines to survivors. The DEC is an umbrella organisation which coordinates a number of aid agencies so that they can carry out immediate and longer\-term relief work in the affected area. The people of Wales have shown great generosity to DEC appeals in the past and have already shown their support once again to help the millions of people suffering in the Philippines.  We have been informed by Oxfam Cymru that £1,089,000 has already been donated to the DEC from Wales as at 25 November.


I urge the people of Wales to continue to show this support and give whatever they can to help the people of the Philippines affected by the disaster.

Dyma ddiweddariad i aelodau ar gyfraniad y Gwasanaethau Brys yng Nghymru fel rhan o waith cymorth y DU yn sgil y corwynt yn Ynysoedd Philippines.

Mae gennym hanes cryf yn ein holl Wasanaethau Brys o gyfrannu adnoddau at waith cymorth gartref a thramor. Fel Cadeirydd Fforwm Cymru Gydnerth, rwy’n cwrdd yn rheolaidd ag uwch swyddogion y Gwasanaethau Brys ac asiantaethau ymateb eraill yng Nghymru. Rwy’n llwyr gydnabod a gwerthfawrogi ymroddiad ac ymrwymiad ein personél Gwasanaethau Brys i wasanaethu eu cymunedau eu hunain a chynnig cymorth pa le bynnag yn y byd y mae bywydau pobl mewn perygl.

Yn y blynyddoedd diwethaf, aeth saith diffoddydd tân o Wasanaeth Tân ac Achub Canolbarth a Gorllewin Cymru i helpu gyda’r gwaith cymorth rhyngwladol yn dilyn daeargryn Haiti yn 2010\. Fel aelodau o’r tîm chwilio ac achub rhyngwladol, llwyddodd y tîm i achub merch ddyflwydd a menyw trideg naw oed o rwbel adeiladau oedd wedi dymchwel. Dylem ni i gyd fod yn falch o’u gwaith a pharodrwydd yr holl staff Gwasanaethau Brys yng Nghymru sy’n barod i weithio mewn amgylchiadau anodd sy’n aml yn beryglus, gan anghofio am eu diogelwch eu hunain i helpu eraill mewn angen.

Rydyn ni i gyd wedi gweld y drychineb sydd wedi dod i’r amlwg yn sgil Corwynt Haiyan, ac mae’n meddyliau gyda phawb y mae hyn wedi effeithio arnynt.

Mae gan Gymru gynrychiolaeth ar y Mecanwaith Amddiffyn Sifil Ewropeaidd, sy’n bodoli i helpu i drefnu cymorth brys gan Wladwriaethau Cyfranogol os bydd argyfyngau mawr. Yn wahanol i’r daeargryn yn Haiti, barnwyd fod y sefyllfa yn Haiti yn fater dyngarol yn hytrach na sefyllfa lle mae angen achub pobl. O ganlyniad, prif anghenion y wlad yw lloches, bwyd, dŵr a chymorth meddygol. Oherwydd hyn, nid oes galw wedi bod am gymorth gan ein Gwasanaethau Brys hyd yn hyn, ond mae Chwilio ac Achub Rhyngwladol y DU yn monitro’r sefyllfa o hyd, ac rydym yn barod i helpu os bydd angen.

Mae’r Pwyllgor Trychinebau ac Argyfyngau (DEC) wedi lansio apêl brys i godi arian i helpu i gludo bwyd, dŵr, lloches a moddion i’r goroeswyr. Corff ymbarél yw DEC sy’n cydgysylltu nifer o asiantaethau cymorth er mwyn gwneud gwaith cymorth uniongyrchol a hirdymor yn yr ardal yr effeithiwyd arni.

Mae pobl Cymru wedi dangos haelioni mawr i apelau DEC yn y gorffennol ac maent wedi dangos eu cymorth unwaith eto i helpu’r miliynau sy’n dioddef yn Ynysoedd Philippines. Mae Oxfam Cymru wedi’n hysbysu bod Cymru wedi rhoi £1,089,000 i DEC erbyn 25 Tachwedd.

Rwy’n annog pobl Cymru i barhau i ddangos y gefnogaeth hon a rhoi popeth y gallant i helpu’r bobl yn Ynysoedd Philippines y mae’r drychineb hon wedi effeithio arnynt.
