Disaster Reflection

How does the devastation brought from Typhoon Haiyan make you feel?
Although I am living in the Philippines, I did not know much about how devastating this typhoon was until I read some articles about it.

How should people prepare for and respond to disasters like Typhoon Haiyan?
I believe that the government should build stronger infrastructure for the sake of people's safety. The government should also be ready for the damages earlier by preparing emergency food, water and hygiene kits that will be mobilized and distributed to the victims.

Why do people live in vulnerable areas?
Rent and housing prices in areas that are less vulnerable to the natural disaster tend to be significantly higher, but people living in vulnerable areas are not wealthy enough to transfer.
