The Philippines

The Philippines is one of the most disaster prone countries in the world. Annually, an average of 22 tropical cyclones enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility of which around 6 to 7 cause significant damage.

A community quarantine is in place in Luzon island until 13 April 2020, aimed at decreasing stress on health facilities through minimizing risk of COVID-19 infection.
Thousands of people remain displaced and unable to return home due to the Taal Volcano eruption, while residents of Taal Volcano island will be permanently relocated.
