Typhoon Haiyan (local Yolanda) struck the Philippines on November 8, 2013, making it the strongest and most destructive storm that made landfall in the Philippines. Eight months later, Typhoon Rammasun (local Glenda) made landfall in eastern Luzon and ravaged southern Luzon. The International Institute of Rural Reconstruction (IIRR), in partnership with The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) and municipal government units, responded to these typhoons by designing interventions that deliberately linked disaster recovery to resilience building. These post-disaster actions were implemented in the Municipality of Ivisan in Capiz, which was affected by Typhoon Haiyan and the Municipality of Guinayangan in Quezon, which was affected by Typhoon Rammasun.
