菲律宾容易受到自然灾害的影响。这是由于该国的地理位置在东南亚的"火山带"两个板块之间（欧亚和太平洋）。菲律宾最容易遭受台风袭击。然而，火山、洪水、山体滑坡、地震、干旱和海啸也构成了严重的风险。这个国家的自然灾害是由天气和环境因素造成的。在菲律宾，一种灾害的发生为另一种灾害创造条件是很常见的。这些相互关联的灾害给基础设施和住房带来了重大风险，并造成了负面的社会和经济影响。
台风。海燕、西尔玛、艾克、风神、瓦西、榴莲、宝霞、特丽克丝、艾米和尼娜是1947年至2014年间有记录以来影响菲律宾的十个最致命的台风。2013年，台风"海燕"导致6300多人丧生，400多万公民流离失所，造成20亿美元的损失。每年平均有20个热带气旋进入菲律宾周边海域。大约有八、九个热带气旋登陆，造成人员伤亡和广泛破坏。在过去十年中，菲律宾的热带风暴变得更加频繁和严重。菲律宾缺乏天然屏障，菲律宾群岛和海洋几乎没有任何缓冲。这进一步加剧了台风造成的破坏。
火山。菲律宾的火山也是独特的，该国位于环太平洋火山带，位于欧亚大陆和太平洋两大板块的交汇处。这些板块不断移动，导致活跃火山事件和地震。该国拥有大约300座火山，其中22座被列为活火山，5座被列为高度活火山:塔尔、马荣、布卢桑、坎隆和希博克。2018年1月，马荣火山爆发，喷出的熔岩和火山灰高达10米。大约2万名当地居民撤离了该地区。2013年，马荣火山爆发，造成5人死亡，7人受伤。
地震。菲律宾的地震风险与其火山风险相似。这两种灾害的根源是相同的——构造板块边界。这个国家平均每天发生大约20次地震，但大多数每天的地震强度为4级。不会造成基础设施损坏或人员伤亡。强烈地震在菲律宾是一个严重的风险。除巴拉望地区外，地震活动在全国各地都很普遍。人口和基础设施在很大程度上对大地震毫无准备。菲律宾火山学和地震学研究所在1968~2017年间记录了12次破坏性地震。
洪水和季风降雨。对菲律宾许多低洼、边缘发达地区造成严重破坏。菲律宾的年降雨量预计在1000毫米到4000毫米之间。然而，最近由于城市发展的增加，异常强烈的季风季节变得更加严重。这阻碍了传统的排水渠道，并在城市地区造成水浸危险。菲律宾沿海海平面上升的风险也相对较高。
海啸。由于菲律宾是一个岛国，地震活动频繁，因此发生海啸的风险较高。海岸线受海啸影响的风险最高，而大多数沿海地区遭受的海啸影响很小；尽管如此，菲律宾更大和更频繁的风险是与台风相关的洪水。然而，该国没有遭受任何与海啸有关的重大经济影响，也不认为海啸是一种高风险危害。
山体滑坡。通常由其他重大天气事件引发，是该国的主要灾害。除巴拉望地区外，菲律宾大部分地区都极易发生山体滑坡。滑坡通常是由火山爆发、地震、台风或季风降雨增加引起的。滑坡灾害在岛屿的山区和内陆地区最为常见，对农村人口的影响往往最为严重。
干旱。菲律宾各岛屿经受着与厄尔尼诺现象有关的气候条件，包括由于季节性季风降水推迟而造成的长期干旱条件。严重的干旱状况影响了经济和人口。干旱导致清洁饮用水缺乏、水匮乏、水力发电减少、水源性疾病增加和人民收入损失。
The Philippines is vulnerable to natural disasters. This is because the country's geographical location is between the two plates of the "volcanic belt" in Southeast Asia (Eurasia and the Pacific). The Philippines is the most vulnerable to typhoons. However, volcanoes, floods, landslides, earthquakes, droughts and tsunamis also pose serious risks. The country's natural disasters are caused by weather and environmental factors. In the Philippines, it is common for the occurrence of one disaster to create conditions for another. These interrelated disasters give rise to the foundation Facilities and housing pose significant risks and have negative social and economic impacts.
typhoon. Petrel, silma, Ike, Aeolus, Vasi, durian, Baoxia, trix, Amy and Nina are the ten deadliest Typhoons Affecting the Philippines from 1947 to 2014. In 2013, typhoon Haiyan killed more than 6300 people and displaced more than 4 million citizens, resulting in a loss of US $2 billion. Every year, an average of 20 tropical cyclones enter the waters around the Philippines. About eight or nine Tropical Cyclones Landed, causing casualties and extensive damage. Over the past decade, tropical storms in the Philippines have become more frequent and severe. The Philippines lacks natural barriers, and the Philippine Islands and oceans have little buffer. This further exacerbated the damage caused by the typhoon.
volcano. The volcanoes in the Philippines are also unique. The country is located in the circum Pacific volcanic belt and at the intersection of the Eurasian and Pacific plates. These plates are constantly moving, leading to active volcanic events and earthquakes. The country has about 300 volcanoes, of which 22 are listed as active volcanoes and 5 are listed as highly active volcanoes: thar, Mayon, Bulusan, Kanlong and hibok. In January 2018, Mayon volcano erupted, spewing lava and volcanic ash up to 10m. About 20000 local residents evacuated the area. In 2013, Mount Mayon erupted, killing 5 people and injuring 7.
Earthquake. The seismic risk in the Philippines is similar to its volcanic risk. The root causes of these two disasters are the same - tectonic plate boundary. The country has an average of about 20 earthquakes a day, but most of them are of magnitude 4 every day. No infrastructure damage or casualties. Strong earthquakes are a serious risk in the Philippines. Except Palawan area, seismicity is very common all over the country. The population and infrastructure are largely unprepared for a major earthquake. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology recorded 12 destructive earthquakes from 1968 to 2017.
Floods and monsoon rains. It has caused serious damage to many low-lying and marginal developed areas in the Philippines. The annual rainfall in the Philippines is expected to be between 1000 mm and 4000 mm. However, recently, due to the increase of urban development, the unusually strong monsoon season has become more serious. This hinders traditional drainage channels and poses a risk of flooding in urban areas. The risk of sea level rise along the coast of the Philippines is also relatively high.
tsunami. As the Philippines is an island country with frequent seismicity, the risk of tsunami is high. The coastline has the highest risk of tsunami impact, while most coastal areas have little tsunami impact; Nevertheless, the greater and more frequent risk in the Philippines is typhoon related floods. However, the country has not suffered any significant economic impact related to the tsunami, nor does it consider the tsunami a high-risk hazard.
Landslide. Usually caused by other major weather events, it is the main disaster in the country. Except Palawan, most parts of the Philippines are prone to landslides. Landslides are usually caused by volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, typhoons or increased monsoon rainfall. Landslide disaster is the most common in the mountainous and inland areas of the island, and the impact on the rural population is often the most serious.
Drought. The Philippine Islands are experiencing climatic conditions related to the El Ni ñ o phenomenon, including long-term drought conditions caused by the delay of seasonal monsoon precipitation. The severe drought has affected the economy and population. Drought has led to the lack of clean drinking water, water shortage, reduction of hydropower generation, increase of water-borne diseases and loss of people's income.
