TYPHOON LANDO

A tropical storm entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility early on October 14, 2015.
The super typhoon, also known as "Lando," was a Category 3 typhoon that wreaked havoc on
Luzon communities. Furthermore, according to NDRRMC, tropical storm Lando experienced a
small increase in intensity at 11 a.m. on October 15, 2015, with its center in the east of Baler,
Aurora. As reported the next day, the Isabela-Aurora province is currently under threat from
"Lando," which has become a typhoon. With predicted winds of 171-220 kph as its highest
public storm warning signal, it made landfall over Casiguran, Aurora on October 18, 2015, about
5 am.

According to the typhoon Lando full report, catastrophic flooding and landslides in
Regions I, II, III, and Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) resulted in significant losses and
significant damage throughout Luzon. NDRRMC reported 48 dead, 83 injured, and 4 people
missing from the typhoon. 630,602 families in all were affected throughout Luzon, and 19,799
among these families are still residing in 311 evacuation shelters. There were 18, 795 completely
destroyed residences, costing 1.3 billion in infrastructural damages, including 10 bridges that
were destroyed by landslides. The typhoon, which already cost the country's agricultural sector
5.8 billion in damage, affected about 277, 060 hectares of rich agricultural fields. Typhoon
Lando, which caused casualties of 11 billion, was regarded as the most destructive typhoon to
strike the Philippines in 2015. In several regions of Luzon, 5 cities and 86 municipalities
reported power shortages. Every area of Luzon had extreme flooding and landslides, which
caused dreadful casualties among the residents. Following the devastating disaster, NGOs and
the government launched search and rescue operations as soon as the typhoon subsided.

One of the greatest risks to human life and the environment is typhoon cyclones. They
contain a wide range of hazards that could possibly result in deaths and damage to certain aspects
of one's life. These hazards include landslides, lightning, storm surge, gusty winds, and flooding.
According to reports, the Philippines experiences 20 typhoons on average each year. Destructive
typhoons are thought to be a result of global warming and will likely continue to occur in the
future, according to some studies. There are a bunch of rainy days between June and November.
As a response, we should make some adjustments to our area and work with the community to
prepare for any potential events before the month of June.
