The Philippines is one of the world’s most disaster-prone countries. Its islands are frequently impacted by natural disasters like earthquakes, floods and typhoons.
As the 10th anniversary of the Philippines’ worst natural disaster, Typhoon Haiyan – known locally as Super Typhoon Yolanda – approaches, the Australian Embassy hosted a humanitarian and disaster relief (HADR) tabletop exercise in HMAS Canberra as part of Indo-Pacific Endeavour.
