                                TYPHOON KRISTINE'S SURVIVING STORM

Tropical Storm Kristine, also known as Typhoon Trami outside, hit the Philippines in October 2024 and brought with it landslides, catastrophic flooding, and torrential rainfall. On October 24, Kristine touched down at Divilacan, Isabela. Over 2.6 million people were impacted by the storm, which caused extensive property damage and displacement in 14 different districts. Local governments declared states of calamity in towns like Albay, Camarines Sur, and portions of Quezon and Samar as a result of the storm's widespread flooding and destruction to infrastructure in regions like the Bicol region, CALABARZON, and Eastern Visayas. Roadblocks and power outages also plagued several locations, making rescue and evacuation operations more difficult.

According to authorities, Kristine caused at least ten fatalities, along with more injuries and unaccounted-for individuals. Emergency response teams have concentrated on giving evacuees temporary shelter, water, and hygiene items. Kristine was projected to leave the Philippine Area of Responsibility by October 25 after continuing westward, prompting warnings from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC).

Significant recovery resources and support are now needed as a result of the destruction, including psychosocial services and kid-friendly areas in evacuation shelters to help individuals impacted by the storm's catastrophic effects.
