Country synopsis

The Philippines is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world, enduring an average of 20 typhoons a year along with frequent flooding, drought, earthquakes, and occasional volcanic eruptions. The government has extensive experience in disaster risk management, with a coordinated disaster response mechanism that has been developed gradually since the establishment of the National Disaster Coordination Committee in 1978.
