Typhoons in Manila

Metropolitan Manila is a highly populated area and lies in the most-active tropical cyclone basin in the world. Tropical cyclones (or typhoons) are strong cyclonic storms that develop over warm ocean waters and when moving across coastal regions can bring immense damage to coastal cities. This report investigates the cascading effects typhoons have had in the past on Metro Manila and looks into possible solution strategies to strengthen the resilience of the urban area. Poverty is one of the most prevalent issues in Manila. Because of improper housing options and poor infrastructure, low-income communities are forced to live in flood-prone areas and therefore highly vulnerable to disaster events that are accompanied by flooding or storm surges. Informal settlements are the part of the urban system most affected by typhoons and in special need for attention in mitigation work. Proposed solution strategies include improvements in urban drainage, inclusive relocation plans, livelihood assistance and capacity building programs, weak solid waste management practices and rehabilitation of the wetland ecosystem.
