- - - - 50% of houses were destroyed, 4.1 million homeless and around 6000 people died
        12 billion dalloars of damage, damage to rice cost 53 million - the UN stated 75% of farmers and fishermen lost their income.
        An oil barge leaked 800,000 liters, 400 millimeters of rain caused flooding, 1.1 million tonnes of cropped were destroyed
    - - Infections and diseases spread due to contaminated surface and groundwater
        eight deaths in a stampede as survivors fought for supplies
        Power supplies were cut off for a month
        Fishing industry damaged as oil tanker leaked
        The airport was damaged, looting was rife and by 2014 rice prices had risen by 14%
        !0 hectares of mangro9ves were contaminated by he oil leak too
  - - - The government televised a warning for people to prepare and evacuate
        
        Authorities evacuated 800,000 people. Many went to Tacloban indoor stadium, which had a reinforced roof.
        
        Over 1200 evacuation centers were set up for the homeless. The Philippine government ensured essential equipment and medical supplies were sent out
        
        Emergency aid supplies arrived by plane and within two weeks 1 million food packs and 250,000 liters of water were distributed
        
        The government imposed a curfew, to reduce looting
        
        Celebrities and companies raised awareness and encouraged donations
    - - 33 countries and international organizations pledged help - more than 1.5 billion
        
        A 'cash for work' programme paid people to clear debris and rebuild the city
        
        Oxfam replaced fishing boats..
        
        In July 2014 the government declared a long term recovery plan for upgrades not just rebuilding.
        
        A 'no build zone' was made for the Eastern Visayas so not harmed by flooding
        
        Many roads replaced and a new storm surge warning system was installed
        
        More cyclone shelters were built
- - - - boy drowned in Newhaven, 9000 houses had no electricity
        
        99mph winds destroyed infrastructure on isle of white causing flooding
        
        Cost of replacement of cars by scaffolding
        
        Walls and houses damaged and fallen
        
        Trees over roads
        
        trees damaged + uprooted in London
        
        75mph winds hit South West, weathering and eroding
    - - Immediate
        
        Close rail and sent out test trains to check tracks
        
        Police, ambulance and lifeguards saved lives and rescued many people
        
        Trees were cleared off the roads
      - Long term
        
        Insurance - peace of mind
        
        They also warned people for the future of flood like these
- - - - Alternative energy production reduces CO2 as it doesn't
        emit any, and this is a longer solution but is expensive and might not be reliable due to external factors such as wind
        
        Carbon capture and storage takes up CO2 from emission sources and stores it underground. Up to 90% of CO2 taken up but it is also expensive and its unclear whether it would work in the long term
        
        Planting trees removes CO2 form the atmosphere through photosynthesis and this increases carbon storage by 28% . This provides wildlife habitats although land may be limited + biodiversity is reduced
        
        International agreements encourage countries to take responsibilities for reduced CO" emissions. The targets are more likely met if legally binding but its hard to agree to targets that go far enough and they may not be achieved
    - - Changes in agriculture means les meat so less carbon, an less pesticide means less contamination and gases. This means there is more space and food for wildlife. This is difficult for poorer farmers though.
        
        Managing water supplies uses less energy to transport so less waste and mroe water. It could be expensive though and the poorer might not be able to afford it.
        
        Reducing risk includes planning for the future so there is less economic loses and stops the effects of climate change. This is expensive too though
