KEY
A typhoon hit the Phillipines on Christmas Eve, killing more than a dozen people and
stranding thousands trying to get home for the holidays. The government evacuated more
than 58,000 people from low-lying areas before the typhoon made landfall. That likely
saved many lives from the storm surge, says Matthew with catholic relief service in the
Phillipines. The government has done a much better job than it did six years ago. They really
learned the lessons of Haiyan, and it's much more proactive in relocating family. He's
talking about Typhoon Haiyan, which left a trail of devastation along a similar path in
2013. With Haiyan, at least six thousand people died, and McGarry says his organization is
still working to house and help the victim of that storm. Even though the death toll is much
smaller this time, McGarry says these storms are so frequent, communities don't get a chance
to recover. It is the poorest and most vulnerable families who are on the coastline, whose
homes are made out of sheets and taped together with cardboard or plastic that get easily
blown away even in typhoon Category 1 storms. And Matthew McGarry says even in
comparatively smaller storms, the losses can be huge. A bit of their possessions may get
washed away. Their livestock may be killed. Their crops may be inundated with
floodwaters. So it will be ten of thousands of families that will require some sort of
assistance or recovery to get back on their feet.
