Though many feared that Typhoon Hagupit would be similar in strength and destruction to last year’s Typhoon Haiyan, thankfully this was not the case. While the storm struck the Philippines with wind gusts of up to 210 km an hour, left up to 18 inches of rain in its wake, and caused widespread destruction, flooding and landslides, many lives were spared thanks to early warning systems, stronger buildings and people taking better precautions including the evacuation of more than 900,000 people.

(UNITED STATES) World Renew DRS Opens Florida Reconstruction Site after “Stealth-Like” Floods. “I talked with Sienna*, a single mother with four young kids living in the Pensacola, Florida, area. A tree fell on their home during the storm, damaging the roof. The rain water just poured in. She didn’t know how to treat the water damage and now her entire house is full of mold and mildew, and her kids are sick because of it. She doesn’t have the money to pay anyone to fix her home; she doesn’t know what to do,” said Richard Anema, a volunteer with World Renew’s Disaster Response Services (DRS).

(PHILIPPINES) Coming back for the November 8th one year anniversary of typhoon Yolanda is a mixed bag of emotions. While I am happy to see transformation, I try not to feel the weight of how much there is still to do.
