Typhoon Haiyan, locally known as Yolanda. It made landfall on November 8, 2013, and was one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever recorded, with maximum sustained winds reaching up to 195 mph (315 km/h). Haiyan caused catastrophic damage, particularly in the Eastern Visayas region, including Tacloban City, where it resulted in thousands of fatalities and widespread destruction of infrastructure and homes. The disaster prompted a massive international humanitarian response and highlighted the need for improved disaster preparedness and resilience in the region.
