Present Situation in the Country

National DRR Bill – The Phil DRRMS Act of 2010Finally signed by the Pres.

"The events (Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng) have really shown the fact that indeed Local Government Units (LGUs) must take the lead in disaster risk management even in rescue and relief because the different topographies, the different conditions of the local governments cannot be managed and cannot be foreseen by the national government."

– Gilbert Teodoro, former DND secretarySource: FACE TO FACE: 100 Local Government Champions vs 4 Presidential Contenders

Magno and Rafisura, 2007

2. The localized systems approach is imperative!
