- Its geographical position on the globe means its highly prone to natural disasters. The Philippines is on the western rim of the 'Pacific Ring of Fire' which brings both earthquakes and volcanic activity .
- The Philippines is a country off the mainland southeast Asia consisting of over 7,000 islands . It is home to over 100 million people .
- It is also situated in an area where tropical storms come from across the Pacific to southeast Asia, this makes the Philippines the most exposed country in the world. Tropical storms bring a large amount of flooding and the threat of landslides and lahars .
- Earthquakes are fairly common occurrence in the Philippines. Between 2000 and 2013 , there were 17 earthquakes with a minimum magnitude of 5.6 . These caused numerous deaths and damaged a large number of buildings.
- In 1976 , just off Mindanao , there was an earthquake of magnitude 7.9 which caused tsunamis and inundated the western shore of Mindanao, killing up to 8,000 people .
- In 1990 , in Luzon , there was an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 which killed over 1,600 people and caused widespread ground rupturing and soil liquefaction .
- In 2013 , a magnitude 7.2 earthquake hit Bohol and killed over 200 and injured over 800 people . It caused damaged to tens of thousands of buildings .
- Some of the most devastating in recent years are:
- The Philippines has a number of active volcanoes on its islands. Opinions vary, but 23 active volcanoes is reasonable.
- Among these are three with a history of violent eruptions:
- Mount Pinatubo erupted violently in 1991 , being the second largest eruption on the planet. Pinatubo can be very deadly as 500,000 people live in a 40km radius . Early warnings and evacuations saved around 5,000 people in 1991 . The eruption was so violent it threw gasses, ash and steam into the upper atmosphere , this caused the global temperature to decrease half a degree for two years . The eruption was then followed by Typhoon Yunya , the heavy rainfall along with the volcanic ash created very deadly lahars and the final death toll was around 850 .
- The Mayon volcano is the most active , having erupted almost 50 times in the past 400 years . Its most destructive eruption was in 1812 , its most recent eruption was in 2014 . Mayon is widely known for its lahars , with volcanic ash mixing with the heavy rainfall from the typhoons to produce rivers of mud .
- The Taal volcano is one of the most active in the country with over 33 eruptions noted on historical record. All of these eruptions came from a volcano which sits in the middle of a crater lake . This crater lake formed from an e xplosion from prehistoric times which formed the caldera of the Taal . In the historical record, Taal has been responsible for approximately 5,000-6,000 deaths due to the densely populated areas that are close by.
- Tropical storms cross the country every year, bringing with them the risk of flooding, landslides and lahars if combined with a volcanic eruption.
- It is tropical storms and the hazards that come along with them which cause the highest number of deaths from natural hazards in the Philippines. The most fatalities come from the storm surges .
- An example of a Typhoon in the Philippines would be Typhoon Haiyan of Novemember 2013.
- 78.7% of mortality losses came from tropical storms , with the seconds highest killer being earthquakes , but only having a percentage of 7.9% .
- 79% of economic losses also came from tropical storms , however, the second highest is flooding. Flooding caused an economic loss of 17.3% .
