When I saw the map I remembered a movie entitled: The Year of Living Dangerously (Incidentally, the movie was shot here in the Philippines, starring Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver). But the movie was not about natural disasters but more on politics in Indonesia during Pres. Sukarno's regime. It was just the phrase "living dangerously" which triggered me to remember it. This map is about the comparative dangers of living in the different provinces in the country due to climate disasters. Some provinces are more prone to climate disasters while some provinces have not experience any disasters at all. What about "The Years of Living Dangerously in the Philippines" for a disaster movie?
Getting back to the real topic, this is about the environmental disaster areas in the country, specifically climate-induced(?) disasters. After the the number of consecutive disasters we had in the country the previous years, it's prudent to know and learn how to avoid these disasters or minimize their effects in our lives and livelihood. But first you have to know where the dangers and risks are. How dangerous or climate disaster-prone is your province? Check it out with this Combined Risk to Climate Disasters Map.
