Countries share lessons on disaster risk reduction and management
CTI SEA Deputy Team Leader for the Philippines Raul Roldan participated in the videoconference and shared upcoming activities related to DRRM. In 2012, the Philippine government approved the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act (Republic Act 10121) which mandates every local government unit to have a DRRM plan. CTI SEA-Philippines will help the municipality of Balabac in Taytay, Palawan this year to formulate its DRRM plan and integrate it to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
