Typhoon Vamco, also known as Ulysses, has ravaged the Philippines leaving at least 67 people dead with many more missing and thousands displaced. The storm caused huge floods and devastating landslides across the northern parts of the country. We here at Dot Property sends our thoughts and prayers to all of those impacted by the storm.
This was the 21st tropical cyclone to hit the Philippines in 2020 and follows Typhoon Rolly which was the strongest typhoon to make landfall since Haiyan in 2013. The toll these storms have taken can’t be understated and those in need can use your assistance.
Several organizations and institutions in the country are accepting donations to help the recovery efforts. Those overseas can make a financial contribution while anyone currently in the Philippines may donate goods in addition to money.
