The Philippines, located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, frequently faces severe weather-related challenges, putting lives, agriculture, and infrastructure at risk. With approximately 20 typhoons hitting the country each year, seven to eight of which typically make landfall, the impact is often extreme, not to mention that delayed and inaccurate weather data and warnings exacerbate this.Â
On September 9, 2024, the DA Disaster Risk Reduction Management Operations Center (DA DRRM-OC) reported that agricultural damages brought about by Typhoon Enteng alone had reached Php 2.26 billion. Challenges grow yearly due to climate change, indicating that proactive and robust weather monitoring system is crucial to improving disaster preparedness in agriculture.Â
