humanitarian actors, in particular the private sector
and the military, contribute to disaster management
in the Philippines. In addition to exploring general
changes with regard to these actors in the wider
Filipino disaster management landscape, the study
also uses the recent examples of Typhoons Washi

and perceptions around ‘non-traditional’ actors in
disaster management.
