Big Picture

Typhoon Noul not only has affected the Philippines, but also other areas in its course, such as Japan. The countries that were later affected by the storm could see what the damage was to the Philippines, and predict what they should expect. Also, the Philippines can use this typhoon as a reference for future storms that may hit the country.

Generally, the Philippines has improved with protecting their citizens from typhoons and other powerful storms. They have greatly improved from the storm in 2013, which left many dead and missing and yielded a lot of damage.

Overall, even with the negative impacts of the typhoon, there were positive impacts as well. The heavy rain ended a harsh dry spell, which will help farmers all across the country.
