The Philippines is increasingly exposedand vulnerable to natural hazards, which undermines povertyreduction and long-term growth. Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan),which struck the Philippines in 2013, is considered thestrongest typhoon ever to make landfall. Typhoon Yolanda has caused over 6,300reported fatalities and an additional 2.3 million people were estimated to have fallen below thepoverty line. The total damage and loss was estimated at PHP 571.1 billion (USD 12.9 billion)hampering economic growth by about 0.9 % in 2013, and another 0.3 % in 2014. The event highlighted the following major issues on theside of government and all other non-government actors: coordination at all levels, aid transparencyand accountability, systems and protocols for donations and assistance, conduct of post-disasterneeds assessment, recovery planning, implementation, monitoring, and communications.
