- Typhoon Haiyan
- Responses
- 7 provinces placed under a 'state of national calamity'
- relief effort slowed due to blocked roads and damaged airports
- some areas remained isolated for days with no sources of clean water available
- evacuations from badly hit areas (Tacloban) - due to no electricity, evacuations only in daylight hours
- delays caused panic and people had to be held back from rushing the evacuation planes when they landed by police
- focused relief efforts in Tacloban leaving other areas feeling abandoned
- Preparation
- assistance in tracking typhoon from Japan
- government used the Public Storm Warning Signal (PSWS)
- those people in areas at risk of flood or landslides were evacuated
- military sent planes and helicopters to the regions that were most at risk to be ready to help with the aid effort
- government emergency shelters were not on ground, high enough to escape the 5 metre storm surge
- Background
- 2013
- category 5
