Like other areas of Southern Tagalog Region, the municipality of Sablayan was devastated when Typhoon Tisoy swept over the Philippines last Tuesday. Sitio Pandan located in Barangay Claudio Salgado is only one of the rural communities which suffered heavy damaged from strong winds and heavy rainfall . Although further damage had been avoided due to weather information and early warning from Disaster Risk Management Office , Typhoon Tisoy left ripped rooftops from houses and walls, knocked down power lines, destroyed homes and schools, and people cramped in evacuation centers waiting for the storm to pass.

  Government agencies united to provide services to those affected such as evacuation and distribution of relief goods. However, relief operation supplies were not enough to help the victims particularly those living in far-flung areas.
