Rizal PHL November 17, 2013
There was an interview at GPS with Stephen Flynn and Lowe Garrett about the storm that hit the PHL. Some observations:
1. The response by the PHL and the international community was slow because many did not appreciate the magnitude and strength of the typhoon. Much data was available about the size and extent of the storm, but action preparedness did not ensue
2. Preparation for the storm in terms of infrastructure must come before the storm; you cant possibly cope with the aftermath if you have failed hospital
3. We are in a learning curve to deal with super disaster. PHL could not have done better.
