Translated title:
Typhoon Haiyan and the Disaster Management Cycle in the Philippines
Summary:
Typhoon Haiyan hit the islands of the central Philippines on November 8. It is the strongest tropical cyclone recorded on land. Overall, it affected about 14 million people in 36 regions. About one million houses were destroyed during the storm, half of which were completely demolished. The hurricane also crossed southern China, Taiwan and Vietnam.
At the stage of recovery, the regulations provided by the law were not fully implemented. The structure of the local government became weaker due to the typhoon, leading to poor relief from their side. The Philippine society had to rely almost entirely on international humanitarian aid.
This thesis analyzes both the phenomenon of the typhoon and the other natural phenomena that were a result of it, as well as the management of the disaster that followed. It is based on bibliographic research and on raw material collected from three islands along the path of Typhoon Haiyan. Specifically, the islands from which information was collected are: Samar, Leyte, Bantayan. The primary material includes photos, questionnaires and interviews.
