1 08 Highlights of Events Page of 5 TROPICAL CYCLONES SEISMIC ACTIVITIES entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility 8 made landfall 5 Tropical Depression Tropical Storm Category Category 4 Twenty-one tropical cyclones entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility in 08, of which 8 made landfall. Five of these were Tropical Depressions (TD. Notable was Typhoon Mangkhut (Ompong which made landfall in September. It was the lone Category 4 typhoon that left a trail of damages, and displacement mostly in northern part of Luzon. Majority of the tropical cyclones that made landfall were characterized by heavy and prolonged rainfall, affecting 8 provinces which suffered repeated displacements topped by Eastern Visayas region (4 out of the provinces. 79 Barangays / Villages experienced rain-induced flooding, while landslides were also reported. The country, which lies along the Pacific Ring of Fire, is constantly frequented by seismic and volcanic activity each year. In 08, seismic monitoring by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS recorded more than 5,800 seismic events. Around 95% of these events were Magnitude 4.0 and below, and therefore barely felt. Even with over 50 seismic events with Magnitude 4.0 and above, there was no significant damage or casualties reported throughout the country. However, the Magnitude 7. offshore quake that rocked Davao Oriental province on 9 December 08 created a scare in the coastal communities in the region after PHIVOLCS issued a Tsunami Advisory, which was lifted a few hours later after only minor sea level disturbance. Magnitude 4.0 & below (5, 5,88 Magnitude 4.0 & above (57 DISPLACEMENT MAYON VOLCANO ERUPTION More than,00 response and recovery activities involving 4 organizations (UN, INGOs, LNGOs, Red Cross are part of the continuing Marawi 8K Armed-Conflict (excluding Marawi armed-conflict 98K Natural Hazard 8K Crime/Violence 5K Clan Feud City response. More than a year after the conflict ended in October 07, there are still 9,000 people waiting to return to their homes. Apart from the Marawi conflict, other factors caused the displacement of more than 0,000 people in 0 provinces in Mindanao, the majority displaced by sporadic armed-conflicts and natural hazards. Maguindanao province topped the most displaced province (over,000 cumulative displacement while Surigao provinces had the highest number of people displaced due to effects of natural hazards. In January 08, the high level of unrest prompted the PHIVOLCS to raise the Mayon volcano to alert level 4, characterized by imminent hazardous eruption. This resulted in the evacuation of over 8,000 people, mostly residents within the 9 kilometer-radius danger zone from the volcano. With still more than 5,000 people in evacuation camps at the beginning of March, the alert level was lowered from 4 to (hazardous eruption within weeks. This gradually allowed the majority of the displaced residents to return to their homes. On 9 March, the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC of Albay ordered the full decampment of all remaining evacuees following the downgrading of Mayon s status to alert level (moderate level of unrest. The -km Permanent Danger Zone remains off limits due to the 9K affected population in Albay province perennial hazards of rockfalls, avalanche, ash puffs and sudden steam-driven or phreatic eruptions at the summit area.
