Super Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda Relief
Super Typhoon Haiyan, known as Typhoon Yolanda in the Philippines, devastated large areas of the central Philippines, in early November 2013. It is the deadliest Philippine typhoon on record, killing at least 6,100 people and injuring almost 30,000 people. Haiyan is also the strongest storm recorded at landfall, and unofficially the strongest typhoon ever recorded in terms of wind speed.
Before the Super Typhoon made landfall in the Philippines, Got Agua? volunteers located in the Philippines and the United States swung into action. Soon after the typhoon hit, Got Agua? mobilized a team to travel by sea to Guiuan, the first town struck by the typhoon, to deliver much needed water and medical supplies to its residents. As a result of the pre-planning and strong team work, the Got Agua? team were the very first to reach Guiuan and provide aid to its residents.
In Metro Manila, the Got Agua? team is providing aid to a number of the families who have been evacuated from the central Philippines.
