Explanation:
The Philippines is visited by 20 typhoons or tropical cyclones on average each year. In recent years, the country has been hit by super typhoons that have wreaked havoc on islands, cities, and towns, leaving thousands of people homeless, crippled, and suffering.
The most devastating of which was Typhoon Haiyan in 2013 (Super Typhoon Yolanda), which killed 6,352 people and caused Php 95.5 billion in property damage.
When confronted with that many typhoons in a year, being unprepared is the last thing you want to happen.
