Bring the human story of Typhoon Haiyan into sharp focus with this powerful and accessible Year 9 Geography lesson. Students explore the wide‑ranging impacts of one of the strongest tropical storms ever recorded, developing a clear understanding of how hazards affect people, economies and environments in different ways.

Students also examine why Newly Emerging Economies (NEEs) such as the Philippines experience greater vulnerability during extreme events, linking geography to development, inequality and resilience.
