ISSUES


Annual Typhoons average of 20 per year
Lack of integrated plan and strategic program to address perennial flooding and
other water related disasters like landslides, lack of potable water, siltation, etc.
Massive urbanization and lack of effective land use plans in Greater Metro
Manila has aggravated flooding
Water ways have been encroached and constricted by illegal structures causing
massive flooding of the metropolis
2
Effects of Water Related Disasters
 $160 Million damaged annually to the economy
 640 lives lost annually
 3.4 Million people affected annually
 71,000 houses totally damaged annually
