CDRC successfully conducted the Microdis Survey (Integrated Health, Social and economic Impacts of Extreme Events: Evidence, Methods and Tools) in the province of Albay from December 1-22, 2008. This survey on the impact of disasters on communities covered 8 villages in the municipality of Polangui and the city of Legazpi, with a total of 400 quantitative respondents, 12 in-depth interviews, and 4 focus group discussions.
Albay is one of the most typhoon-prone provinces in the Philippines, making it suitable for the Microdis study funded by the Center for the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) and European Commission (EC). The area is located in the typhoon belt and experiences this hazard at the average of two major destructive typhoons per year.
