Encouraging community participation

"No amount of science and technology would help in the disaster effort if the people don't

embrace the technology. It's really a COMMUNITY EFFORT, it's not just the

government, it's not just the LGUs, it's the overall planning of things, and that includes the

INDIVIDUALS in the communities."

Dr. Mahar LagmayExecutive Director of Project NOAH
