- Location
- Multi Hazardous environment: Philippines
- Volcanoes
- Near to destructive plate margin
- Philippines plate is being sub-ducted underneath the Eurasian plate
- Ex) Mount Pinatubo, 1991
- 700 dead
- 200,000 left homeless
- Bbuildings collapsed
- Crops destroyed
- Agricultural land destroyed by falling ash
- Ex) Mount Pinatubo, 1991
- Philippines plate is being sub-ducted underneath the Eurasian plate
- Near to destructive plate margin
- Seismic hazards
- Earthquakes at fault lines and plate boundary
- Ex) Luzon Island 7.8 magnitude earthquake, 1990
- 1500 dead
- Tsunamis caused by earthquakes in surrounding oceans
- Ex) Luzon Island 7.8 magnitude earthquake, 1990
- Earthquakes at fault lines and plate boundary
- Tropical storms
- Around 10 a year
- Develop in the pacific ocean and move westward to the islands
- Thyphoon Xangsane, 2006
- High winds and torrential rain
- destroyed homes
- flooding
- Landslides
- 200 deaths
- Cost of damage = $130 million
- High winds and torrential rain
- A group of islands in South-East Asia
- Thyphoon Xangsane, 2006
- Densely populated
- people use experience to stay prepared
- Stock pilling food
- Inreasing their resilience
- Widening rivers to decrease flood risk

- 2009 + policy
- Working to increase resilience by adaptation, mitigation and management
- Not allowed to build in high risk areas
- adapting buildings so they are more able to cope with earthquakes
- Building embankments to reduce flooding
- Increasing public awareness
- Monitoring hazards and developing early warning systems
