"That typhoon in the Philippines was how the world deals with its periods caused by global warming....."

An event of the magnitude of the destruction of Typhoon Haiynan (Yolanda) demonstrates the remarkable fragility of our lives. Thousands of lives extinguished in a single mighty blow - but we should not be surprised - our planet has a habit of doing that with remarkable regularity. Only a couple of years ago it was the earthquake off Japan that triggered a Tsunami that devastated miles of Japanese coast line; and set of a nuclear scare that is still on going. Then almost 10 years ago the thousands of holiday makers died on the beaches of Thailand as another Tsunami struck on the day after Christmas 2004. Then every year typhoons and earthquakes hit the Philippines which sits precariously not only on the so called Pacific ring of fire (earthquake prone areas where the earth's plates meet), but also in the typhoon belt. Few countries face such regular identified threats - unfortunately that means the events are coming but nobody knows when or where.

The events of Friday were much worse than anticipated - but everybody knew a major Typhoon was coming. There were plenty of warnings and calls to evacuate to high ground and secure buildings. Unlike the tragic earthquake that had hit Bohol a couple of weeks earlier this was well telegraphed and it was a reasonable assumption that somebody somewhere would need some help.

I know it is easy to criticize but a report on Monday morning that a helicopter would fly over southern Samar and make damage assessment may at first sight seem reasonable until somebody asks the question why not on Saturday - 2 days ago, Why not on Sunday - 1 day ago. Are the Philippines so short of helicopters that this is the first one available?

Sadly this is all too typical of the Philippines - too little too late. As pointed out natural disaster are all too common and happen regularly enough to suggest that a properly equipped and funded disaster response team would not only be advisable but essential.
