This paper reports the post-disaster survey results of storm surge and waves due to Super Typhoon Meranti (local name: Ferdie), along the coastline of the province of Batanes, Philippines. The survey was conducted by a joint survey team of the University of Tokyo and University of the Philippines from 9 to 12 October 2016, about one month after the disaster. Water levels in the inundated area or runup heights were measured at 37 locations along the coast of the islands of Batan and Sabtang by interviewing local residents and by examining wave runup evidences remaining along the coast. Obtained runup and inundation levels showed significant variations along the coast of islands and higher levels were found on the coast facing north. Especially at Ivana, a small coastal community located at the southwestern tip of the island of Batan, the coast was covered by a convexshaped fringing reef and observed inundation heights were locally concentrated behind the peak of the convex-shaped reef.
