Within the volatile Asia Pacific, Natural Disasters are an ever-present threat to a collective population of 4.3 Billion (UNFPA).
Countless typhoons move towards mainland Asia each year while the Ring of Fire acts as a hotbed of seismic and volcanic activity.
Amongst the countries at risk, the Philippines takes the brunt of the frequent natural disasters. In 2013, an estimated 7.02 Million Pilipinos were displaced from their communities due to the devastating Typhoon Yolanda in addition to 20 other yearly tropical storms. That same year, Indonesia saw about 500,00 displaced due to natural disasters across their islands.
