The Philippines is an island country geographically situated in the Pacific Ocean.It is surrounded by ocean and has a tropical monsoon climate that is usually humid and hot.Also，due to topographical effects，it is affected by torrential rainfall and there is a lot of rainfall between June and October due to the geographic location of Typhoons.The Philippines is the 3rd in the world as the country’s most exposed and at risk to natural hazard according to the World Risk Report（2016）.In a year，20 tropical cyclones have passed over the island with storing winds，excessive rainfall，landslides/mudflows，storm surges，and floods.In 2011，Luzon，which is one of the three primary island groups in the country，was greatly affected by the successive strike of Typhoon Nesat and Nalgae respectively.Also，Typhoon Haiyen caused almost 7，000 casualties and property damage amounting to US$230 million.Since the1970s，approximately 10 great floods have occurred in Philippines；the status of damage is shown in Table 2.Figure 2 indicates flood risk areas in Philippines.The majority of the flood risk areas are concentrated in the Northern Philippines.Islands and regions situated in the west coast were also identified as flood risk areas because Typhoons generally move from the east side to the west side.
