road slips, or road washout, fallen trees and vegetation.
Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) data show that
there are 9,585 families with 36,631 persons affected. All over the region
there were 62 totally damaged and 516 partially damaged houses
1. Damage to Agriculture and Livelihood
The largely farming population of the region are severely affected due to failure of harvest, which is their main source of food and livelihood. The Habagat-induced rains that lasted for about 2 months before Typhoon Ompong arrived already caused great losses to farmers. These losses were further worsened by the typhoon.

1. Damage to Shelter
Shelter damage mainly due to the strong winds was reported by the different provinces. Most of the houses in the upland communities are built from light materials and were not strong enough to withstand the strong winds. Those whose houses were damaged have limited means to immediately restore their shelters. The figures presented are expected to increase when information from communities who have yet to submit reports comes in.
