The Asia-Pacific region is the most disaster prone area in the world. Asia alone accounts for 31% of all weather, climate and water-related disasters, 47% of related deaths and 31% of economic losses. In the last 49 years, 3,454 disasters have been recorded with an estimated US $1.2 trillion in economic damages. In 2021 alone, at least 48.3 million people were affected region-wide.
In response, ADRA Philippines is implementing rehabilitation programs focused on the Build Back Better principle by constructing eco-homes built to withstand future disasters that frequent the Philippines, such as Typhoons, Floods and Earthquakes.
