One Year After Typhoon Haiyan “Typhoon Haiyan destroyed our house and my boat.
We were left with nothing,” says Alan Padilla, a
fisherman from Embarcadero, Philippines. “When we
heard the warning, my wife and children evacuated to
the village school. I stayed to guard the house and
boat. But later my brother came to tell me that I
should also evacuate.” This warning saved Alan’s
life. On November 8, 2013, fierce winds and high
waves hit the Philippines, affecting nearly 14 million
people. One year later, work is ongoing to rebuild
and construct more typhoon resistant homes and help
families like Alan’s recover lost livelihoods.
Presbyterian World Service & Development
responded through the ACT Alliance, which provided
115,000 people with food in the immediate aftermath

disaster preparedness work. PWS&D
