Social cohesion is a significant factor in local resiliency, as the displaced often stay with relatives and friends. National authorities, with the support of international partners, largely lead preparedness and response efforts to reoccurring natural disasters and conflict-related displacement. Typhoons, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions often result in high displacement rates. The Philippines is also among the most disaster-prone countries in the world. As at early February 2023, there were over 121,000 people displaced in the region because of armed conflict, clan feuds, and crime. Protracted armed conflict in the Mindanao group of islands (in southern Philippines) since the 1960s has resulted in a crisis that requires political, humanitarian, and long-term response. People living in poverty are particularly vulnerable to these impacts. The main impacts of these crises are displacement and the disruption of services and livelihoods. A long-standing conflict in the south and various recurrent natural disasters drive the humanitarian situation in the Philippines.
