Natural disasters

Guimaras oil spill

{{Main|Guimaras oil spill}}

On 11 August, 2006, a tanker capsized off the coast of Guimaras Island south of Panay. The tanker spilled over {{convert|200,000|l}} of oil into the Panay Gulf. By the end of August 2006, oil had covered more than {{convert|245|km}} of coastline.[4] In September 2006, the Regional Disaster Coordinating Council (RDCC) identified Igbon as one of 38 municipalities threatened by the oil spill.[5]

Typhoon Haiyan

In 2013, Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Yolanda) caused heavy damage to Igbon. The typhoon unexpectedly struck Igbon at low tide, although residents were able to take shelter near the mountain areas.[6] Relief workers distributed food aid to island residents after the storm passed.[7]
