DISASTER NURSING | NCM one hundred twenty

Overview

The Philippines is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world due to its archipelagic location along the Pacific Ring of Fire and the Western Pacific typhoon belt. This geographic and climatic setting exposes a large portion of the country to frequent typhoons, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and storm surges. As a result, around sixty percent of the land area and seventy-four percent of the population are at risk, leading to repeated disruption of communities, strain on health systems, and serious threats to the health and safety of Filipinos.
