Problems

  • Manila is situated in the ‘Ring of Fire’

  • Large earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and typhoons are common in the 

  • The super typhoon “Yolanda” hit the Philippines last year in 2013, taking at least ten thousand people’s lives.

  • Also in 2013 a large seven point one magnitude earthquake struck Manila leaving more than sixty people dead 

  • Early predictions, warning and monitoring methods have been improved

  • These schemes should reduce the deaths caused by these tragedies and perhaps also stop destruction of some buildings and roads.

Solutions

  • A possible solution is for there to be evacuation areas for the citizens of Manila to stay in until the extreme storm passes.

  • Houses could be issued with private safe chambers underground.

  • People living in the slums could move to a public evacuation centre.

  • A special service program, to help relocate, feed and care for the people effected by a natural disaster

  • This service would be aimed at the people living in the poverty-stricken 

  • The program would be made out of volunteers, emergency services and paid health
