g. On 11 November 2020, ​Typhoon VAMCO (locally known as ULYSSES) made its
first landfall in the vicinity of Patnanungan, Quezon (CALABARZON). Typhoon
VAMCO is the sixth tropical cyclone to hit the Philippines within three weeks.
h. On 13 November 2020, the transportation of ​DELSA stockpiles from the ​Satellite
Warehouse in Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City to the ​Port of Manila (for loading to
the Philippine Navy vessel that will transport the goods to Bicol Region) started.
i.

On 18 November 2020, ​DELSA regional stockpiles are scheduled to be deliveredto ​Bicol Region to augment the capacities of the Philippine Government toaddress the needs of the affected families. The logistics of relief items are arrangedby the Office of Civil Defense, and will be transported via a Philippine Navy vessel
from the Port of Manila.

j.

The mobilisation of the ​remaining DELSA stockpiles to Bicol and MIMAROPA are
still being coordinated​ with the Office of Civil Defense.

2. SUMMARY OF EVENTS
a. According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services
Administration (​PAGASA​), at 0350h of ​01 November 2020​, Super Typhoon GONI
(locally known as ROLLY) made its ​first landfall ​in the vicinity of ​Bato,
Catanduanes (Bicol Region) with ​maximum sustained winds of ​225 km/h
(equivalent to a ​Category 4 ​hurricane in the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale)and gustiness of up to 280 km/h.
b. Super Typhoon GONI made a total of ​four landfalls as it made its way through theregions of Bicol and CALABARZON.

SITUATION UPDATE

Figure 1. Landfall areas of Super Typhoon GONI (Source: ​PAGASA​)

c. Super Typhoon GONI reportedly brought ​direct wind damage​, ​storm surge
hazard, ​flooding​, ​landslide​, ​lahar​, ​mudflow​, and ​rock slides along its path. These
hazards resulted in impact to the ​population ​and damages to ​properties​,
infrastructures​, and ​agriculture​.
d. Super Typhoon GONI is comparable to ​Typhoon ANGELA (locally known as
ROSING) and ​Super Typhoon HAIYAN​ (locally known as YOLANDA).
i.

Super Typhoon GONI and Typhoon ANGELA share a ​similar typhoon
track — made landfall in the Bicol Region, moved towards Southern
Luzon and Metro Manila, and exited in the West Philippine Sea. While
being stronger than Typhoon ANGELA, Super Typhoon GONI has
almost the ​same level of impact to the population​.

ii.

Super Typhoon HAIYAN is just ​10 km/h stronger than Super Typhoon
GONI upon landfall, in terms of maximum sustained winds. However,running figures show that Super Typhoon GONI’s ​impact on the
population is about 13%​ of that of Super Typhoon HAIYAN’s.

SITUATION UPDATE

Figure 2. Comparison of Super Typhoon GONI with similar tropical cyclones — Typhoon ANGELA andSuper Typhoon HAIYAN (Sources: ​NDRRMC​, ​PAGASA​, ​ReliefWeb​)e. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (​NDRRMC​) of thePhilippines attribute this significant reduction in risk (and in spite of the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic globally) to their ​time-tested preparedness measures​,shaped by its rich experiences.

f.

i.

NDRRMC disseminated a total ​41 emergency alerts and warnings to
the general public prior to experiencing the hazards. This allowed thegeneral public to be guided in their preparations.

ii.

Pre-Disaster Risk Assessment (PDRA) meetings were also conducted
multiple times (28, 30, and 31 October 2020) at all levels of Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Councils (DRRMC). This allowed respective
DRRMCs to prepare their responses accordingly, based on thechanging risks as the tropical cyclone approaches.

iii.

Pre-emptive Evacuation ​of a total ​505K persons ​residing in at-riskareas in exposed localities was also conducted by local DRRMCs.

On 31 October 2020, the ​NDRRMC Response Cluster was activated to monitor
and facilitate emergency response and humanitarian assistance.

g. On 01 November 2020, the AHA Centre sent a letter to NDRRMC to ​convey
sympathy to the affected population and ​show solidarity with the Governmentof the Philippines by offering humanitarian assistance and operational support.
h. On 06 November 2020, NDRRMC accepted the AHA Centre’s offer of humanitarianassistance; specifically, the mobilisation of regional stockpiles in the ​Disaster
Emergency Logistics System for ASEAN (DELSA) Satellite Warehouse in Camp
Aguinaldo, Quezon City, Philippines. These regional stockpiles are funded by theJapan-ASEAN Integration Fund (JAIF)​ and ​Direct Relief​.

SITUATION UPDATE5

i.

At 2130h of ​11 November 2020​, a tropical cyclone trailing Super Typhoon GONI —Typhoon VAMCO (locally known as ULYSSES), made its ​first landfall in thevicinity of ​Patnanungan, Quezon (CALABARZON) with ​maximum sustained
winds of ​150 km/h (equivalent to a ​Category 1 hurricane in the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale) and gustiness of up to 205 km/h.

j.

Typhoon VAMCO made a total of ​three landfalls as it made its way through theregions of CALABARZON, Central Luzon, and Metro Manila.

Figure 3. Landfall areas of Super Typhoon GONI and Typhoon VAMCO (Source: ​PAGASA​)

k. Within just a short span of ​three (3) weeks​, a total of ​six (6) tropical cyclones hit
the Philippines — Tropical Storm SAUDEL, Typhoon MOLAVE, Tropical Storm
ATSANI, Super Typhoon GONI, Tropical Storm ETAU, and Typhoon VAMCO. The
quick succession of these tropical storms undermined the water absorption
capacity of the soil and the storage capacity of water reservoirs, resulting inwidespread ​flash floods and landslides​.
l.

On 18 November 2020, ​DELSA regional stockpiles are scheduled to be deliveredto ​Bicol Region to augment the capacities of the Philippine Government toaddress the needs of the affected families. The logistics of relief items are arrangedby the Office of Civil Defense, and will be transported via a Philippine Navy vessel
from the Port of Manila.

Hazardsa. On 31 October 2020, the Pacific Disaster Center (​PDC Global​), through the ASEAN
Disaster Monitoring & Response System (​DMRS​), forecasted several hazards
associated with Super Typhoon GONI, and each hazard’s respective risk level.
i.

About ​$232 billion USD worth of infrastructures (total replacement
value) are exposed to ​moderate to severe damaging winds​.
