The Philippines is bracing for the impact of Typhoon Man-yi, which is expected to hit the country over the weekend, while still recovering from the devastation caused by Typhoon Usagi. Usagi, which weakened after causing significant damage in northern towns, left homes destroyed and infrastructure damaged, including a bridge in Cagayan province. Authorities have already evacuated hundreds of people in anticipation of Man-yi, which is packing winds of 150 kph and could bring further destruction. Rescue efforts are ongoing for those stranded by Usagi, as the nation prepares for another potentially catastrophic storm.
This is exactly why we need to take climate change seriously—these back-to-back typhoons are becoming way too frequent and devastating for vulnerable communities.
