[Typhoon] Haiyan wrought havoc throughout the Philippines when the storm began to gather steam on November 2, 2013. The storm quickly

expanded to well over 500 miles with sustained winds nearing 200 mph and even higher gusts. The hurricane ripped through Albay

province just recently as unprecedented winds tore off roofs and waves reached as high as 40 feet in some areas. Nearly 10,000

people are feared dead.

The Philippines put into place a National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council to help prepare for natural disasters like Haiyan. In late September, 2010, the Philippine Disaster Risk and Reduction Management Act was promulgated to strengthen the disaster planning and recovery capability in response to Typhoon Ondoy.  http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2013/08/hurricane-tracks/
