(原始内容存档于2019-07-08) (英语). We all remember the devastating Typhoon Haiyan that swept through the Philippines in 2013, killing thousands of people, causing incredible damage, and bringing 40 countries together to carry out disaster relief efforts. At RIMPAC, we exercised that same humanitarian assistance/disaster relief (HA/DR) response mission that Canada could be called upon to support in the future. Just recently, while we were engaged in RIMPAC, a typhoon was barrelling down upon the Philippines. Having just practiced together, RIMPAC countries could have responded immediately if the call for help had come in. This is an area where we can leverage exercises such as RIMPAC.
