SITUATION ANALYSIS
Super Typhoon Rai (locally known as Odette) made its first landfall on
December 16, 2021. It brought torrential rains, violent winds, floods, and
storm surges to the Visayas and Mindanao Islands. It is the 15th tropical
storm that hit the country in 2021. It’s challenging for the residents to escape
or get ready for the storm's arrival. In just 24 hours, the typhoon's speed rose
by 85 mph. Storms that intensify quickly are happening more frequently as a
result of climate change.
Location of Center
The center of the eye of Typhoon “ODETTE” was located based on all
available data 75 km Southwest of Iloilo City

Intensity
Maximum sustained winds of 155 km/h near the center,
gustiness of up to 235 km/h, and central pressure
of 950 hectopascal (hPa)
 TRACK
Moving generally westward, the typhoon is forecast to cross the
Sulu Sea and pass near or in the vicinity of either Cuyo or
Cagayancillo archipelago this noon before making landfall in the
vicinity of northern or central portion of Palawan this afternoon.
After re-emerging over the West Philippine Sea tonight,
“ODETTE” is forecast to pass
in the vicinity of Kalayaan Islands tomorrow.
As it moved across the Philippine archipelago, the tropical storm
brought with it high winds and copious amounts of rain. In
addition to the affected provinces, its effects were felt in other
areas of the Visayas, Mindanao, and Southern Luzon, resulting in a
large-scale internal displacement of the affected population, severe
damage to shelter, infrastructure, and livelihood, as well as other
water and health infrastructures. Bagyong Odette(Typhoon Rai)
strengthened further and hit nine countries. Palawan, Negros
Occidental, Bohol, Cebu, Negros Oriental, Southern Leyte, Leyte,
Dinagat Islands, and Surigao Del Norte are the provinces from the
regions that the NDRRMC has classified as being the hardest hit
by the typhoon.
 OUTCOME
