What are your thoughts on the recent typhoon Yolanda?

I think in a certain small aspect, PAG-ASA  and the media  were to blame  for this. It is true that they gave a warning ahead of the storm , but the concept of storm surge was not explained well to the people.  they introduced a  concept that is not known to people or more likely, they didn’t educate us what actually it is. . They ended evacuating to areas that  were also nearly destroyed by  the calamity. See  what can miscommunication and inefficient information dissemination can do to people. 

Subjective thoughts aside, it is also hard for the government and authorities  to  make reformulations  and action plan on the disaster.  If there's something that  Haiya n left us, it is the lesson (things to do and not to do)  that we should  remember if and when we will encounter times  like this  again.
