SHELTERBOX RESPONSE TO TYPHOON HAIYAN
Typhoon Haiyan, which hit the Philippines on 8th November 2013, was the most powerful storm ever to make landfall, claiming 6,200 lives and destroying a million homes. ShelterBox was there to respond within hours. We already had a team in the Philippines when Haiyan struck, responding to an earthquake in Bohol (15 October 13). ShelterBox had been tracking the path of the typhoon and put the existing in-country team on standby to respond
