Our country was visited by 20 typhoons every year on the average and since we are archipelago and surrounded by bodies of water and oceans, we are vulnerable on climate change effects.
As a natural laboratory of strong typhoons and climate disasters, accurate weather forecasting, latest technology (use of IBM BLUE Gene Supercomputer), disaster preparedness and awareness (DOST Project NOAH) should be in place in order to help us to mitigate disaster effects and lessen deaths.
