Active Disaster Events

A powerful super-typhoon named Fung-Wong (locally “Uwan”) is bearing down on the Philippines and has already begun to make landfall in northeastern Luzon. The storm carries sustained winds up to 185 km/h and gusts reaching 230 km/h, with a massive rain-and-wind band spanning over 1,500 km — threatening two-thirds of the archipelago.  Evacuations are under way: more than 900,000 people have been ordered out of high-risk coastal and flood-prone areas.  The government has issued the highest alert levels and warned of life-threatening storm surges (up to 5 meters), severe flooding, landslides, widespread damage to infrastructure, power-outages, and transportation disruptions. Key impacts and high-vulnerability zones to consider: • Coastal provinces such as Bicol region, Aurora, Catanduanes and Northern Samar are at immediate risk of major damage and flooding.  • Inland river valleys and mountain slopes present increased danger of landslides and flash flooding, particularly where soils are already saturated from previous storms. • Infrastructure: roads and bridges may be washed out or blocked by debris and mud flows; power lines will likely be down; evacuations/shelters may become inaccessible. • Displacement of communities, loss of livelihoods (farming, fishing), and urgent need for basic supplies (food, water, sanitation, shelter) will escalate fast. • Communication lines may be disrupted; mobility of relief teams could be severely impacted by extreme weather conditions. Objectives & Call to Action We are mobilising a coordinated relief event under the banner of Dasig to provide timely support to affected communities. The key aims: 1. Pre-position and distribute emergency relief kits (food packs, drinking water, hygiene kits, tarpaulins) in high-risk areas ahead of the worst of the storm. 2. Establish evacuation shelter support hubs — equip local barangays/municipalities with backup power, sanitation, and temporary housing resources. 3. Coordinate rapid damage assessment teams (road/bridge access, electrical grid, shelter conditions) so post-storm response is immediate. 4. Develop communications and logistics staging points in strategic locations to enable relief flows once the storm passes (inventory, transport, volunteers). 5. Launch a public awareness campaign emphasizing: evacuate early, stay clear of rivers/steep slopes, secure loose items, heed local government orders. Why This Matters • The scale of the storm is enormous: up to 30 million people may be exposed to hazards from this typhoon.  • Local governments and communities remain fragile after recent storms, which increases severity of impact and slows recovery. • Being proactive now maximises lives saved, reduces suffering, protects infrastructure, and lowers downstream costs of response and reconstruction. • The event provides an opportunity for Dasig to demonstrate rapid-mobilisation capability, build trust with LGUs/NGOs, and create a replicable template for future disasters. Key Target Recipients & Stakeholders • Local Government Units (LGUs) in Aurora, Catanduanes, Camarines Sur, Northern Samar • Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Offices (BDRRM) • National agencies: Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), Office of Civil Defense (OCD) • Humanitarian NGOs and private relief donors • Community volunteers and youth groups

The flood in Brgy. Aranda ,Hinigaran, Negros Occidental, Philippines, caused by Typhoon Tino, has subsided, and residents are no longer stranded on rooftops. However, the aftermath has left communities dealing with significant damage to homes, infrastructure, and livelihoods. Affected areas continue to face challenges, with many families displaced and in need of support to recover. Urgent needs: potable WATER, non-perishable FOOD, CLOTHING, hygiene kits (soap, toothpaste, sanitary items).

After the typhoon, flood water has risen above our head, just enough for us to rush to the third floor. Many bodies are scattered all around our area, the foul smell can twist your stomach upside down. We need assistance immediately. Water and food are highly appreciated. Extra clothes are very helpful. Everything is damaged, appliances, clothes, school supplies are wet and cannot be used anymore. There's no electricity and water as of the moment. And houses are severely damaged, to the point that it's a house no longer.

A strong earthquake was reported in Davao City and surrounding provinces on October 10, 2025. Local response teams are assessing damage, and residents are advised to stay alert for aftershocks.

Tropical Storm “Reming” brought heavy rains and flooding to parts of Cebu, Bohol, and Negros Oriental. Evacuation and relief operations continue across affected barangays.

A 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck Northern Cebu on October 3, 2025, affecting Bogo, Daanbantayan, and nearby municipalities. Massive relief and logistics operations are ongoing.
