per year. In 1993, a record of 19 typhoons made landfall in the country making it the most in one year. The
least amount per year were 4 during the years of 1955,
1958, 1992 and 1997.
There are four types of Typhoons, according to the
wind speed.

winds of between 55 kilometers per hour and 64 kilometers per hour ner its center.

In the field of humanitarian architecture, post-disaster provision is more
than just supplying shelter. Its about involving communities in the places of
uncertainty and rapid change, delivering the best rebuilds that incorporate
future risk mitigation in the design.
After Typhoon Yolanda Haiyan made landfall in the Philippines, the main
efforts where to rebuilt those areas that where most devastated by the
storm, and one of the first steps is to built homes that will be more resilient
to climate-related pressures.
What do we NEED?
.INFRASTRUCTURE SECTOR - TRANSPORT, ELECTRICITY, WATER SUPPLIES
AND SANITATION
.ECONOMIC SECTOR - AGRICULTURE,
LIVESTOCK, FISHERIES, FOOD SECURITY, TRADE, INDUSTRY, SERVICES
.SOCIAL SECTOR - EDUCATION,
HEALTH AND NUTRITION, HOUSING
AND SHELTER
How to REBUILD?
.Safe and dignified shelter is a basic
human right and in a post-disaster
scenario its more than just putting
a new roof over peoples heads and
providing emergency shelter. Its
about fit-out-purpose rebuilds thar
address the local culture, environment and economy.
.Housing must improve on what went
before and incorporate future risk
mitigation in the design.
