Tropical Storm Aere, known in the Philippines as Tropical Storm Bebeng, was a mild tropical storm that affected eastern Philippines and southern Japan. It was the first named storm of the 2011 Pacific typhoon season. Aere is the Marshallese word for storm.[1]
In the Philippines, Aere brought very heavy rainfall triggering landslides and floods knocking out power in several areas across Luzon. More than 50 flights were canceled or diverted because of the bad weather conditions and President Benigno Aquino III delayed his flight home from a summit in Indonesia by a day. The coastguards have stopped smaller boats from leaving ports in Catanduanes and surrounding areas, leaving 1,379 people stranded. More than 7,200 hectares (17,800 acres - 27 square miles) of rice, corn and high-value crops costing more than 118 million pesos ($2.7 million) were destroyed or damaged. At least 35 people have been killed and two more are missing as a result of Aere. Agricultural losses are estimated at PHP1.37 billion (US$31.7 million).

Preparations
Philippines
Almost immediately after the PAGASA started monitoring the system, the NDRRMC raised storm warning signal 1 over the areas of Luzon and Visayas. The Philippine National Police were directed to continuously report the events to the NDRRMC as it happened. The Department of Health also alerted all the hospitals in the storm prone regions and asked them to sat in continuous coordination with PAGASA.[4] Soon, the PDRRMC initiated evacuations across the Albay province with a population of 63,964 residing in 152 Barangays already evacuated as a pre-emptive measure. Also, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) deployed several assault vehicles and military personnel to closely monitor the situation across the nation and to haul rice for relief operations.[5]
