Super Typhoon Mangkhut hit the northern Philippines in September 2018, killing over 60 people and affecting 5.7 million nationwide. It had winds over 150 mph making it the strongest storm of 2018. In the mining town of Itogon, a mudslide buried dozens of homes and miners, with 16 bodies recovered so far. Rescue efforts used shovels and pulleys to manually search for survivors and recover remains in the unstable, wet ground unable to support heavy machinery. The mining site was reportedly shut down in the 1990s but some miners may have been working there illegally to support their families, raising questions around punishment if illegal work is necessary to survive.

A natural disaster
Hurricanes form over warm tropical oceans in late summer and early autumn when heat and moisture are present. They can cause extensive damage through strong winds, heavy rainfall, floods, landslides and sometimes tornadoes. Hurricane Katrina in 2005 was especially devastating, killing many people in New Orleans and forcing hundreds of thousands to evacuate. Accurate hurricane forecasts from the National Hurricane Center help people prepare by issuing watches and warnings ahead of landfall.
Social and Economic Impacts of Hurricanes
To briefly describe the various impacts of a hurricane and to give the social and economic consequences of each. The degree by which any of these can affect the human and physical environment can vary. From little to no damage, to the extremes.
Tsunami
What Causes a Tsunami?
These awe-inspiring waves are typically caused by large, undersea earthquakes at tectonic plate boundaries. When the ocean floor at a plate boundary rises or falls suddenly, it displaces the water above it and launches the rolling waves that will become a tsunami.
Most tsunamis–about 80 percent–happen within the Pacific Ocean’s “Ring of Fire,” a geologically active area where tectonic shifts make volcanoes and earthquakes common.
Most tsunamis–about 80 percent–happen within the Pacific Ocean’s “Ring of Fire,” a geologically active area where tectonic shifts make volcanoes and earthquakes common.
Tsunamis may also be caused by underwater landslides or volcanic eruptions. They may even be launched, as they frequently were in Earth’s ancient past, by the impact of a large meteorite plunging into an ocean.
Tsunamis race across the sea at up to 500 miles (805 kilometers) an hour—about as fast as a jet airplane. At that pace, they can cross the entire expanse of the Pacific Ocean in less than a day. And their long wavelengths mean they lose very little energy along the way.
What Happens When It Hits Land
A tsunami’s trough, the low point beneath the wave’s crest, often reaches shore first. When it does, it produces a vacuum effect that sucks coastal water seaward and exposes harbor and sea floors. This retreating of sea water is an important warning sign of a tsunami, because the wave’s crest and its enormous volume of water typically hit shore five minutes or so later. Recognizing this phenomenon can save lives.
A tsunami is usually composed of a series of waves, called a wave train, so its destructive force may be compounded as successive waves reach shore. People experiencing a tsunami should remember that the danger may not have passed with the first wave and should await official word that it is safe to return to vulnerable locations.
Some tsunamis do not appear on shore as massive breaking waves but instead resemble a quickly surging tide that inundates coastal areas.
The best defense against any tsunami is early warning that allows people to seek higher ground. The Pacific Tsunami Warning System, a coalition of 26 nations headquartered in Hawaii, maintains a web of seismic equipment and water level gauges to identify tsunamis at sea. Similar systems are proposed to protect coastal areas worldwide.

NOTABLE SEVERE WINDSTORM EVENTS AND DISASTERS OF 2014. November 30th marked the official end of a quiet 2014 Atlantic Basin hurricane season. There were eight named storms, six of which were hurricanes, with only two (Edouard and Gonzalo) becoming major storms. The Atlantic basin, which includes the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, produced the fewest tropical cyclones and fewest named storms since 1997. November 30th marked the official end of a very active 2014 Eastern Pacific hurricane season– the most active season since 1992.There were 20 named storms, the most in 22 years, peaking 2-3 years after El Niño . Of those named storms, 14 became hurricanes, with nine of them developing into major hurricanes.In general, meteorologists believe that El Niño conditions suppress hurricane activity in the Atlantic and increase it in the Pacific. A new study suggests that there may be a delayed reaction, with peak hurricane activity in the northeastern Pacific happening two or three years after an El Niño peak.

Hurricanes are one of nature's most destructive forces. They can cause enormous damage through wind, flooding from storm surges and heavy rain, and other hazards like mudslides. Hurricane winds can reach speeds of up to 200 miles per hour. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters through a process where moist air rises, condenses into clouds and releases latent heat. Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Mississippi and Louisiana in August 2005, causing extensive damage and loss of life from high winds and catastrophic flooding.
CLIMATE CHANGE IN MALAYSIA
Climate change refers to significant changes in climate measures like temperature, precipitation, or wind patterns lasting decades or longer. Malaysia's climate is equatorial with an average rainfall of 250cm/year and temperature of 27°C. It faces two monsoon seasons: the Southwest Monsoon from May to September originating in China/North Pacific, and the Northeast Monsoon from November to March originating in Australia's deserts. Urban areas like Kuala Lumpur have seen increases in average rainfall and temperature due to urbanization effects. Major flooding events occurred across Malaysia in 2014-2015 due to over 1200mm of rain in some areas over 27 days.

According to the document:
- About 20 tropical cyclones enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility each year according to PAGASA.
- Tropical cyclones are categorized as tropical depressions, tropical storms, or typhoons based on their sustained wind speeds.
- The term "typhoon" is used for tropical cyclones that develop in the northwest Pacific Ocean, while similar storms in other regions are called hurricanes.

Typhoon Rammasun (Cat 3) Headed Towards ManilaProfessor Eric K. Noji, M.D., MPH, DTMH(Lon), FRCP(UK)hon
Typhoon Rammasun (Cat 3) Headed Towards Manila. This tropical storm is predicted to be the first direct hit on the capital in four years. Rammasun is the strongest storm to threaten the country since Haiyan, a Cat-5 "super typhoon," that wiped out nearly everything in its path when it crossed over the central Philippines in November, 2013, just eight months ago. The major lesson from last Haiyan: ANTICIPATORY ACTIONS ARE THE KEY TO PREPAREDNESS. People who endured haiyan should know 1) what to expect (e.G., high-velocity winds, rain, flash floods, landslides, and storm surge), 2) where and when it will happen, and 3) what they should (and should not) do to prepare will survive.

This document provides an overview of environmental history and disasters in the Philippines. It discusses how the Philippines experiences on average 20 typhoons and 100-150 earthquakes annually due to its location in the Pacific Ring of Fire and Typhoon Belt. It outlines several major disasters from history including volcanic eruptions of Taal and Mayon volcanoes, earthquakes like the 1976 Moro Gulf quake, and destructive typhoons like Yolanda in 2013. While natural hazards are to be expected, the document argues that disasters occur due to a lack of preparedness and failure to mitigate risks, showing how historical experiences could inform better disaster management policies going forward.

This document summarizes the impacts of Typhoon Mangkhut in the Philippines and China in September 2018. It describes how the typhoon had winds of 165 mph when it hit the Philippines, leaving 63 dead, 42 injured, and dozens missing. The worst damage occurred on the island of Luzon, where there were 51 landslides, including one in the mining town of Itogon that buried an unknown number of miners. Rescue efforts have been hampered by unstable ground conditions but rescuers are using shovels and makeshift levies to try to reach survivors buried in the debris. There are also questions around whether the miners were working legally on the land where the landslide occurred.
Climatic hazards of bangladeh
Bangladesh experiences frequent natural disasters like cyclones, tornadoes, floods, and landslides due to its location and climate. Tornadoes occur most often in the hot season from April to June and form from thunderstorms with wind shear and instability. Notable tornado events include the deadly 1989 Daulatpur-Saturia tornado that killed over 1,000 people, making it the deadliest in history. Tornadoes can cause extensive damage to homes, crops, and infrastructure as well as loss of human life. Preparedness through early warning systems and shelters is important to reduce risks from these frequent natural hazards in Bangladesh.

04 2017 cambodia landmines
Nearly 40,000 people in Cambodia have been injured by landmines since 1979 when an estimated 4-6 million unexplored landmines were planted during conflicts. Landmines cost only $3 to produce but $1,000 to clear. In Cambodia, they threaten lives and development by making land unusable for farming, schools, and housing. Several organizations like the Cambodia Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority, Mines Advisory Group, and Halo Trust have worked to clear mines, removing over 66 square kilometers between 1993 and 1999. Individuals like Aki Ra, a former child soldier, have also worked to clear mines and help victims.

Several organizations like the Cambodia Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority, Mines Advisory Group, and Halo Trust have worked to clear mines, removing over 66 square kilometers between 1993 and 1999. Individuals like Aki Ra, a former child soldier, have also worked to clear mines and help victims.

Uber is a transportation network company that offers ride-sharing, taxi, and food delivery services through a mobile app. Founded in 2009, Uber grew rapidly but faced scandals and leadership changes that slowed its growth. It is now letting go of over half a billion potential riders in Southeast Asia by selling its operations there to Grab and taking a large stake in the rival company, in an effort to recover from $4.5 billion in losses last year. This could give Grab an advantage over its rival Go-Jek in the region by acquiring UberEats.
Helen dean pop culture current event presentation
Uber is selling its Southeast Asian business to rival Grab, giving Grab a monopoly over transportation services in the region. As part of the deal, Uber will receive a stake in Grab's profits and Grab will have an advantage with its Uber Eats food delivery service. However, some argue that having a single dominant corporation in an industry is not better for consumers than having a variety of competing companies.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
