MUNICIPAL

DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN

FOR THE MUNICIPALITY

OF KALAWIT, ZAMBOANGA

DEL NORTE

2018-2023

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PREFACE

 

The Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan will be the basic tool that will guide both the local government, civil society and private sector of the community in the implementation of the provisions of Republic Act 10121 known as the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010. Basically this plan is patterned after the Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan and this also serve as basis for the formulation of DRRM Plan for our respective BDRRMC’s in  barangay level.

 

We are thankful to the leadership of Director Paisal O. Abutazil of DILG Region IX and Director Adriano D. Fuego of the Office of Civil Defense IX for inviting us to the Regional Summit on Disaster Preparedness held on July 28-31, 2013 at Garden Orchids Hotel, Zamboanga City where we are able to acquired knowledge in the preparation of DRRM Plan and internalized the role of LGU’s in disaster preparedness.

 

Our Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council have responded to the marching orders of the national leadership to institutionalize disaster preparedness not as a reactive unit but as a proactive one. In as much that we are independent by way of governance thus the leadership of all four thematic areas of concern in DRRM are spread among the department heads of this LGU. We constructed the LDRRMC Operation Center and purchase rescue vehicle, tools as well as communication equipments. Manned by trained personnel 24/7, we are assured that even though we are not praying for any emergencies we will be able to respond immediately in the least possible time.

 

Although our municipality is not prone to natural calamities particularly floods and landslides we shall not be complacent because we have history of human-induced hazards and such situation is just lurking in the corners of Poblacion and some other barangays of Kalawit. It is better to be prepared always thus we have formulated also a separate Contingency Plan for Anti Terrorism, Contingency Plan for Floods and Contingency Plan for Landslide.

 

We dedicate our best effort  to be prepared always and provide our personnel the necessary tools, equipments and skills through trainings but we also hope and pray that such tools, equipments and skills will remain idle and can’t be utilized.

BACKGROUND

The municipality of Kalawit was created into a distinct and separate Municipal Local Government on February 10, 1990 by virtue of Republic Act 681 authored by then Congressman Angel M. Carloto of the 3^rd District of Zamboanga del Norte. Separated from its mother municipality which is Labason. The municipality has fourteen (14) component barangays namely: Poblacion, Batayan, Gatas, New Calamba, Concepcion, San Jose, Botong, Fatima, Pianon, Paraiso, Daniel Maing, Palalian, Tugop and  Marcelo with  a total land area of 25,000 hectares and a population  of 22,157  base on latest official census.

 

Geographic Location:

 

Kalawit is located in the South- Western interior part of the province approximately 180 kilometers from Dipolog City. Bounded on the North by the municipality of Labason, South by the municipality of Titay, Zamboanga Sibugay, West by the municipality of Gutalac and East by the municipality of Tampilisan. At the northern  part of Kalawit is the upstream of Patawag river, one of the river basins of Zamboanga Peninsula bordering the municipalities of Liloy and Tampilisan. On the south is the upstream of Kipit river – another part of the Zamboanga Peninsula river basin bordering the  municipality of Titay.

 

Physical Characteristics:

 

Land Area:

The municipality of Kalawit occupies a total land area of 25,000 hectares which represents about 3.47 percent of the total land of Zamboanga del Norte Province.  It is composed of 14 barangays.  Of the total municipal area, the Poblacion which is the urban core constitute 11.2 percent  while the rest are unevenly distributed to the other barangays.  Table 1 presents the land area of each of these barangays.

 

Topography:

The topographic condition of the municipality is approximately constituting 30 percent rolling and 40 percent hilly to mountainous.  It is only in barangay Poblacion and Batayan were some part of the area are plain and are devoted to rice farming.

 

Climate:

Kalawit falls under the fourth type of climate in the country.  Dry season takes place between December to May and wet the rest of the year.

 

Wind Direction:

Strong winds with heavy rains prevail during the months of June to November as the notable time for the southwest monsoon occur, while sunny days come during the months of December to April.

 

 

 

Natural Drainage:

One factor that requires consideration in evaluating soil suitability classification for crop production and other non agricultural uses such as urban development is natural drainage since it affects land utilization.

The municipality’s ridge is drained principally by Palomoc River, Cayaban River, Lacsotan River and Malub River.

 

 

Mineral Resources:

Kalawit is believed to be richly endowed with mineral resources. Among these are gold, coal, manganese, silica quartz and chromites.  Gold is said to be found in the west side of Palomoc River in barangay Gatas and Palalian.  Because of the lack of available records from the government agencies, the amounts of mineral deposits are not determined.

 

 

Slope:

One important factor considered in determining the suitability of lands for urban development as well as the capability and suitability of an area for cultivation is slope.

Kalawit is characterized by several slope ranges. Of the total land area of the municipality, approximately 1,500 hectares or 6 percent are with slope ranges from 0 – 3.0%. Gently sloping areas that have a slope range of 3.1%-8.0% fill up 6,000 hectares or 24 percent. Moderately sloping or rolling areas which have a slope range of 8.1% – 18.0% occupies about 12,000 hectares or 48 percent.  The areas that are classified under slope ranges 18.1% – 30.0% and over 30% constitute approximately 5,000 hectares or 20 percent and 5000 hectares or 2 percent respectively.

 

 

Basic Soil Type:

A  knowledge of the type of  soil characteristics provide a guiding step in selecting and recommending the various uses of land.  In Kalawit, there is only one basic type of soil.  This is the Panabotan Silty Clay Loam soil.

 

 

Land Capability:

The land capability classification indicates the suitability of areas for cultivation according to soil conservation management requirements.  It is a scheme for grouping soil units together according to the best use of lands in order to optimize production, preserve land and prevent soil damage through improper use.

In Kalawit, the land suited for agriculture consist of land capability classes and subclasses B.  Be, Ce and De.  These are arable lands which cover 20,800 hectares or about 83.20 percent of the total land area which are presently cultivated and planted to palay, corn, fruit trees, vegetables, coconut, tobacco, coffee, cacao, rubber and bamboo.  See Land Capability Map.

On the other hand, the non arable land in the municipality cover 4,200 hectares or 16.79 percent of the land area of the municipality.  The area consisting land capability class M is not suitable for agriculture, most of which are situated along the ridge area of the municipality.

The land capability classes and subclasses found in Kalawit are characterized by the following:

1. Land Capability Class “B”

Good land, can be cultivated safely: requires easily applied conservation practice.

2. Land Capability “Be”

Good land, nearly level to gently sloping, slightly to moderately eroded and can be cultivated safely but requires erosion control measures and easily applied conservation practice.

3. Land Capability Class “Ce”

This class includes moderately good lands moderately sloping, moderately to severely eroded, can be cultivated safely if carefully planned erosion control measure, careful management and intensive conservation practices.

4.Land Capability Class “De”

This class includes fairly good land that are slightly sloping, moderately to severely eroded due to excessive run-off can be cultivated occasionally if handled with care.  These lands require very careful management and complex conservation practices and are best suited to pasture or tree farms.

5. Land Capability Class “M”

Lands included here are those which are very steep to mountainous, excessively eroded and shallow for cultivation.  Stones and Rocks outcrops are occasionally presents.  These lands are good for grazing or for forest and need careful farm management.

BARANGAY PROFILE:

 

BARANGAY POBLACION

            Poblacion, Kalawit was created into barangay in 1962, formerly a part of the municipality of Labason-the mother municipality of Kalawit. When Kalawit was created into a separate an distinct municipality in 1990 Kalawit became the seat of the municipal government.

This barangay has also a history of various armed conflict or what we presently called human-induced hazard.. In 1970’s Kalawit is the first barangay to erupt in the armed conflict between the Christian and Muslim (Ilaga and Barracudas). In 1992 a massacre happened involving again Christian land settlers perpetrated by Muslims who claimed ownership of land cultivated by Christians. Again in 2003 another massacre happened in sitio Tupod, Poblacion which claimed 14 innocent lives including children an a two month old baby allegedly perpetrated again by Muslims which until now remains a puzzle to the authorities. The main source of income is farming with diverse product such as rice, corn, coconut and rubber.

Poblacion can be reached via three main road. The provincial road from Gatas-Kalawit, RIDP road from Namnama- Kalawit and provincial road of Labason-Kalawit. Only habal-habal or single motorcycle is the main source of transportation.

 

BARANGAY PALALIAN

          December 1995 when a group of settlers lead by a certain Pablo Claros arrived in Palalian which before was a forest area. They started to cultivate the area thru the kaingin system (slash and burn) where they planted to palay. The first few months of their existence is not easy since a number of their companion contacted malaria and others died of it. Such incident did not prevent the group to continue because of the fertile soil which promised a good future for their respective families. Bountiful harvest of palay followed thus the place is called palayan and subsequently named as Palalian.

 

BARANGAY PARAISO

          In 1970’s this place is formerly a sitio of barangay Imaculada of the municipality of Labason. Named sitio Lupisan because of the abundance of lupisan fish in Malungon and Sapa Sulo creek. Several years have passed and thru the effort  then Mayor Graciano Canda, Abundio Bihag and Felomino Cunol sitio Lupisan was created into a barangay and name barangay Paraiso because of the topography of the land and overlooking to the municipality of Labason like a paradise.

This barangay has also a history of human-induced hazard in 1972 where the first appointed barangay captain Filomino Cunol and members of his family were victims. When the Kalawit was created into a municipality in 1990, Paraiso is one of the component barangay of the new municipality thus became part of the administrative and political jurisdiction of Kalawit.

 

BARANGAY PIANON

Derived from the name of first settlers Pia and Amon, the place is called Pianon. They portrayed them as a couple who are very prayerful, of lovable character and worthy to be called the mother and father of the barangay. The place is rich in agricultural crops particularly coconut and very accessible to transportation either from the two  neighboring  municipalities of Tampilisan and Labason.

 

BARANGAY BATAYAN

          The first settlers of the place were bird hunters who belongs to Subanen and Kalibigan tribe. In their dialect Batayan means to guard or watch. Since they are bird hunters they are alert to guard or watch any birds that come along their way or within their hunting ground. Years later the place is populated by mix tribe such as Ilongos, Cebuanos, Boholanos and others who migrated the area and successfully built the place into an agricultural haven where they live peacefully and became a barangay on May 14, 1948. Batayan  became so progressive with the operation of a logging company in 1960’s. Population increased as well as economic activities and the first school was opened. Because of the proximity of the place from national highway which is only seven kilometers and accessibility to transportation, rice products where the place is abundant became the major product of Batayan followed by rubber.

 

BARANGAY DANIEL MAING

Formerly known as sitio Dominolog of barangay Lapatan, Labason, Zamboanga del Norte. Dominolog is a subanen term of neighbor. This is because the place is predominantly inhabited by the members of Indigenous People which belong to the Subanen  tribe. Years later there are influx of local migrants of mix tribe but they live harmoniously which they have there own version of bayanihan which they called ‘Alayon”. They built their houses according to the architectural  preference of their respective tribe. Later it became a barangay separated from Lapatan. Sometime in 1985 the name of barangay Dominolog was changed to Daniel Maing in honor of the late Municipal Councilor Daniel Maing, the first elected municipal official who is a Subanen. Principal product is corn and rubber with some root crops and upland rice. The place is also accessible going to the municipality of Labason.

 

 

NEW CALAMBA

New Calamba has two mother barangay. One is Batayan and lately before the advent of R.A. 6851 (the creation of Kalawit into a municipality), barangay Gatas. Located along the national highway going to Dipolog City and Zamboanga City, the place is an easy destination of local migrants from the province of Misamis Occidental particularly from Plaridel and Calamba. When confused of what really is the real name of the place an assembly was called which was initiated by the elders. There were two names suggested by the members of the community- New Plaridel and new Calamba. In as much as plenty of people coming from Calamba than Plaridel thus New Calamba won and became the official name of the place. It remains a sitio not until the creation of the municipality of Kalawit where it became a component barangay automatically.

 

BARANGAY GATAS

Barangay Gatas became a barangay through Provincial Board Resolution No. 117 dated February 19, 1989. The place got its name when during rainy days people observed that the water in its river, creek and springs became somewhat milky thus the name “Gatas” came up which is  mean milk.

 

 

BARANGAY FATIMA

Early settlers of the place were members of the Indigenous Community who belongs to Subanen tribe. They name the place “Lacsutan” a Subanen word of ugly which is also the name of the creek located thereat. Community members go to Lacsutan  creek frequently to catch fresh water fish, shrimps and others for their viand and somebody noticed also their hairdo is so ugly to look at hence they named their place also as Lacsutan. Under the leadership of then barangay captain Doming Pasigna the name of the place was changed from Lacsutan to Fatima in honor of the patron Saint Fatima. Domingo Pasigna was also responsible for the construction of the first chapel in Fatima.

Created as a barangay in January 21, 1961 where Endong Naraga was appointed as the first Teniente del Barrio. From then development of the place started such as the opening of the primary school and the succeeding barangay captains completed the elementary education program and made a way for the construction of additional classrooms. Barangay Captain Rufino Baliling was the one responsible for the opening of Fatima – Pianon barangay road in 1981. Because of the abundance of water in the barangay is it one of the barangays in Kalawit who have considerable number of  hectares of rice land. Main product is coconut and abundant also of corn, bananas and other root crops.

Fatima has also a history of human-induced hazard in 1981 during the height of proliferation of the CPP-NPA where casualties were also inflicted.

 

BARANGAY MARCELO.

In 1960 a wealthy businessman named Don Jose Marcelo from Malabon, Manila established the Marcelo Tire and Rubber Estate Corporation (MTRC). Logging was the first activity in the 1,023 hectares of forest land where after logging out the forest they planted the area to rubber. The place is thickly populated by a mix tribe because of better employment opportunity offered by MTRC. Located 14 kilometers in the western hemisphere of Kalawit and also very accessible to Titay and Ipil both of Zamboanga Sibugay. Of the 1,400 hectares area of barangay Marcelo 1,023 is planted to rubber and understandably the main product is rubber followed by abaca.

In 1996 because of the mandate of RA 6657 (Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program) the owner of the plantation including all the macheneries found thereon voluntary offered for sale the whole property to the DAR which was paid by the DBP where the workers of the said company are the identified Farmer Beneficiaries  and organized themselves as a cooperative named Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries of Marcelo Multi Purpose Cooperative, Inc. The board of directors of the cooperative donated a piece of the property which is now the site and the seat of the barangay government of Marcelo.

Almost 90 percent of the residents of the barangay are members of the cooperative as well as the barangay officials.

 

BARANGAY TUGOP

Located within the boundary of Zamboanga del Norte and then Zamboanga del Sur before, the place is formerly a sitio of barangay Marcelo known as Block 6. When Kalawit was created into a municipality in 1990 the residents were confused as well as the municipal officials because barangay Tugop is listed as one of the component barangay of the new LGU but there is no place in the area of Kalawit known as barangay or sitio Tugop. It took a couple of years before the situation was resolved. The appointed barangay officials took their oath of office and the place known as block 6 is called Tugop popularly known as Tugop K because there is also a place in the adjacent barangay of Titay Zamboanga Sibugay which bears also the same name Tugop. Tugop K is in Kalawit and Tugop T is in Titay.

Tugop development followed in just a short time. Elementary school opened and couple of years followed in year 2000 secondary school was opened. The residents of the barangay are also recipient of many national government agency’s interventions like livelihood program for women from the DOLE and high value crops gardening from the DAR-LBP. Primary agricultural product is rubber and lakatan, a specie of banana which is now in demand everywhere.

 

BARANGAY CONCEPCION

Formerly called Pilanan, one of the sitios of barangay San Jose which is part before of Labason, Zamboanga del Norte which is inhabited by members of the indigenous people who belong to the Subanen tribe. They derived the name Pilanan because the river that separates between the two places of San Jose and Concepcion is Pilanan River. In addition, Pilanan also came from the word “hilan” or the place is scary. Years passed, the population increased because of the influx of the people from neighboring towns.

One of the early settlers are the spouses Isidro Patis and Tomasa Marindoque. A farmer by occupation and both are devout catholic. In one of the instances sometime on May 11 while Tomasa is husking the corn cobs they stocked for foods she surprisingly found an image of Virgin Mary, an Immaculate Concepcion. The couple concluded that it is the will of God that made them an instrument to build the chapel of Immaculate Concepcion. To date, the people are celebrating their annual town fiesta every 11^th of May in honor of their patron Immaculate Concepcion.

On February 5, 1965 the place was made into a separate barangay and named Concepcion with Restituto Buagas as the first appointed barangay captain. The past barangay captains were as follows:

 

1965-1967 —- Restituto Buagas

1967-1972 —- Ceren Tacgos

1972-1982 —- Miguel Balili

1982-1988 —- Leopoldo Guiterez

1988-1990 —- Ismael Calabroso

 

The term of Ismael Calabroso was shortened and served only for two years as barangay captain because in 1990, he was appointed as SB Member when Kalawit was created into a separate and distinct municipality from Labason. The successors were the following:

 

1990-2007 —- Semeon Armodia

2007-2010 —- Antonio Diliman

2010-2013 —- Francisco Flores

2013-Present – Ismael Calabroso

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 DRRM THEMATIC AREAS AND LONG-TERM GOALS

In accordance with the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Framework, through the NDRRMP, the country will have “Safer, adaptive and disaster resilient Filipino communities towards sustainable development.” This will be achieved through the four distinct yet mutually reinforcing priority areas, namely,

1. Disaster Prevention and Mitigation;
2. Disaster Preparedness;
3. Disaster Response; and
4. Disaster Recovery and Rehabilitation.

 

Each priority area has its own long term goal, that when put together, will lead to the attainment of our country’s over goal/vision in DRRM.

 

Figure 1. DRRM Thematic Areas and Long-Term Goals

 

Disaster Preparedness   Establish and strengthen capacities of communities to anticipate, cope and recover from the negative impacts of emergency occurrences and disasters.

Disaster Prevention and Mitigation   Avoid hazards and mitigate their potential impacts by reducing vulnerabilities and exposure and enhancing capacities of communities.

Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery   Restore and improve facilities, livelihood and living conditions and organization capacities of affected communities, and reduced disaster risks in accordance with the “building back better” principle.

Safer, adaptive and disaster-resilient Filipino communities towards sustainable development

Disaster Response   Provide life preservation and meet the basic subsistence needs of affected population based on acceptance standards during or immediately after a disaster.

 

 

 

 

These thematic areas are not autonomous from the other nor do they have clear start and end points. The four (4) priority areas are NOT seen as a mere cycle which starts in prevention and mitigation and ends in rehabilitation and recovery. Instead, they:

 

1. Mutually reinforce each other and are interoperable. This means that whatever we do in one aspect will have a direct or indirect effect on the activities identified under the other aspects. Furthermore, this means that it is assumed that the level of preparedness and intensity of response activities we conduct are lessened because proper prevention and mitigation activities have been done already.
2. DO NOT, SHOULD NOT AND CONNOT stand alone. Because they are inter-linked, one cannot just focus on one aspect without considering the others.
3. Have neither clear starting nor ending points between each of the aspects and overlaps are to be expected. There are some areas which are divided very thinly by gray areas. These are activities which need to be smoothly integrated into two aspects. However, for purposes of this document, the overlapping activities were put into the specific aspects which could better capture its essence using the lens of that specific DRRM area and to correspond to the given parameters within which these aspects focus on. Some of these overlapping points are as shown in Figure 2:

1. Are problem-needs and asset-strengths centered. With the identification of the different factors which contribute to the vulnerabilities of the people, the NDRRMP focuses on how the underlying causes of the problems can be addressed. Likewise, this document will also present existing and inherent assets and strengths of the Filipino community and nation which will help attain the targets set herein.
2. All point to one direction reduce people’s vulnerabilities and increasing their capacities. The outcomes, outputs and activities may be focused on the specific aspect but one should look into the document in totality, bearing in mind that all of the efforts combined will lead to the realization and achievement of the country’s vision of safer, adaptive and more resilient Filipino communities. In summary, the RDRRMP has:

OVERALL RESPONSIBLE DEPARTMENT: LDRRMO IN CLOSE COORDINATION WITH DOST

 

Disaster Prevention and Mitigation provides key strategic actions to activities revolving around hazards evaluation and mitigation, vulnerability analyses, identification of hazard-prone areas and mainstreaming DRRM into development plans. It underscores the need for sound and scientific analysis of the different underlying vulnerability factors, risks and exposure to hazards and disasters.

 

Goal: Avoid hazards and mitigate their potential impacts by reducing vulnerabilities and exposure and enhancing capacities of communities

Objectives: 1.       Reduce vulnerability and exposure of communities to all hazards 2.       Enhance capacities of communities to reduce their own risks and cope with the impacts of all hazards

THEMATIC AREA 2: DISASTER PREPAREDNESS

 

OVERALL RESPONSIBLE AGENCY: MLGU/MAYOR’S OFFICE  & DILG

 

Disaster Preparedness provides for key strategic actions that give importance to community awareness and understanding, contingency planning; conduct of local drills, and the development of a national disaster response plan. In preparing communities and governments for possible disasters, predetermined needs based on information available are crucial. Risk-related information coming from the prevention and mitigation aspects is necessary in order for preparedness activities to be responsive to the needs of the people and situation on the ground. Also, policies, budget and institutional mechanisms established under the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation aspects will be further enhanced through capacity building activities, development of coordination mechanisms, among others. Through these, coordination, complementation and interoperability of work in DRRM operations and essential services will be ensured.

 

It should be noted that the activities in this thematic area are not linear but cyclical and anticipate improvements overtime. Behavioral change created by the Preparedness aspects is eventually measured by how well people respond to disasters. At the frontlines of disaster preparedness are local government units and communities. Overall, the bottom line is having more prepared citizenry and governments.

 

Goal: Establish and strengthen capacities of communities to anticipate, cope and recover from the negative impacts of emergency occurrences and disasters

Objectives: 1.       Increase the level of awareness of the community to the threats and impacts of all hazards, risks and vulnerabilities 2.       Equip the community with the necessary skills to cope with the negative impacts of a disaster 3.       Increase the capacity of institution 4.       Develop and implement comprehensive national and local disaster preparedness policies, plans and systems 5.       Strengthen partnership among all key players and stakeholders

THEMATIC AREA 3: DISASTER RESPONSE

 

OVERALL RESPONSIBLE AGENCY: DSWD

Disaster Response provides for key actions that give importance to activities during the actual disaster response operations such as needs assessment, search and rescue, relief operations, and early recovery activities. The activities identified below will be done either before the actual response operations or during the disaster event. For those activities which need to be completed prior to actual response operations, they will be linked to activities earlier identified in the preparedness aspect. However, to ensure that the proper response “lens” is issued in doing the said activities, they have been included in this aspect. Overall, the success and realization of this priority area rely heavily on the completion of the activities under both the prevention and mitigation and preparedness aspects.

This aspect includes Early Recovery which means, under IRR Rule 2 Section 1, the multidimensional process of recovery that begins in a humanitarian setting. It is guided by development principles that seek to build on humanitarian programs and catalyze sustainable development opportunities. It aims to generate self-sustaining, nationally-owned, resilient processes for post-crisis recovery. Early recovery encompasses the restoration of basic services, livelihoods, governance, security and rule of law, environment and social dimensions, including reintegration and social and emotional rehabilitation of displaced populations.

 

Goal:

Provide life preservation and meet the basic subsistence needs of affected population based on acceptable standards during or immediately after a disaster

Objectives:

1. Decrease the number of preventable deaths and injuries
2. Provide basic subsistence needs of affected population
3. Immediately restore basic social services

CROSS-CUTTING CONCERNS

The MDRRMP recognizes that certain concerns cut across the four thematic areas. These include health, human-induced disasters, gender mainstreaming, environmental protection, cultural sensitivity or indigenous practices, and the rights-based approach. The MDRRMP shall be utilized as the instrument by which RRMRMC of this municipality  ensures consistency of DRRM measures with the physical framework, social and economic and environmental plans of communities.

 

HEALTH

People’s vulnerability to disaster has become more complex with the onset of climate change. Single hazard events such as floods and heat waves can overlap, resulting in a broad range of impact scenarios. Minor disturbances in the environment surrounding the ecosystem can have far reaching consequences on the exposure of humans to health-related hazards like avian influenza (which is related to the changes in habitats of migratory birds); malaria and dengue (which increases mosquito abundance in areas experiencing warmer and damper temperatures, respectively). Likewise, rising sea-level and increasing flooding events disproportionately affect the poor through sanitation of their water sources. It is thus important to look at these concerns in each of the thematic areas of the MDRRMP.

 

HUMAN-INDUCED DISASTERS

People in Region IX are vulnerable not only because of natural hazards but more often due to disasters more commonly associated with armed conflict and acts of terrorism such as extortion, shooting incident of innocent victims (massacre), ambuscades, bomb explosions. In the entire MDRRMP, consideration of the factors which contribute to these risks are important and should be looked into at all times, taking cognizance of the underlying causes of people’s vulnerabilities.

 

GENDER MAINSTREAMING

Gender mainstreaming is about the recognition, acceptance, identification and addressing of the different roles, needs, capacities and vulnerabilities of men and women. The MDRRMP is committed to promoting gender-sensitive vulnerability and capacity-analysis in all disaster risk reduction and management activities in the municipality. It encourages balancing the roles, responsibilities, needs, interests, capacities and effect on both genders of contingency plans as well as implementation of community-based activities. Gender mainstreaming is about reducing the vulnerabilities of men and women to disasters and encourages equilibrium in the participation and decision-making roles of men and women in DRRM.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Care for the environment is essential in order to minimize vulnerability and avoid increasing risk levels. Measures must be undertaken so that activities in all priority areas do not create stress on the municipal’s natural resources.

 

CULTURAL SENSITIVITY/INDIGENOUS PRACTICES

The MDRRMP recognizes the importance of culturally-sensitive risk reduction measures at all levels. People’s vulnerability to disasters as well as their capacities to adapt to the changing realities are more often not related to cultural and indigenous practices. By being sensitive to the indigenous practices and local knowledge, DRRM approaches will become more effective and more easily understood and embraced by the people.

 

RIGHTS-BASED APPROACH

DRRM will be given priority because people have the right to live, safety, information, education, cultural beliefs and right to better lives as protected by the Constitution.

 

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES

Various strategies are identified below to implement the MDRRMP and achieve the desired key results under each of the four thematic areas.

 

ADVOCACY AND INFORMATION, EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION (IEC)

A strong regional and local commitment is required to save lives and livelihoods threatened by the natural and human-induced disasters. Achieving this will need increasing visibility and understanding of DRRM and CCA issues, mobilizing partnership, encouraging actions and gathering public support for successful implementation of the different activities. The MDRRMP will use evidence-based advocacy to influence people, policies, structures and systems in order to build resilient communities by raising awareness, working with the media and key stakeholders. The MDRRM will develop advocacy, IEC and various communication strategies based on risk assessments and good DRRM practices.

 

COMPETENCY-BASED CAPABILITY BUILDING

Customized training programs could be developed and conducted to ensure that people are trained based on the needed skills in the different DRRM aspects. Different people have different needs and capacities and developing competency-based capability building programs ensures that knowledge, skills and attitudes are enhanced and built upon further.

 

CONTINGENCY PLANNING

More commonly used before as only part of disaster preparedness activities, the contingency plan is updated and used in all the different Priority Areas of DRRM. Lessons from past experiences and complementary actions between and across areas should be taken into consideration in developing contingency plans from the municipal down to the barangay level.

 

EDUCATION ON DRRM AND CCA FOR ALL

Mainstreaming DRRM into formal education should be undertaken through the integration of DRRM and CCA concepts in the curriculum for basic education, the National Service Training Program (NSTP) at the tertiary level, and bachelor’s degree programs. This includes the conduct of DRRM and CCA training of all public sector employees as mandated by law, and the training of teachers and development of teaching materials at the primary and secondary levels.

 

INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF DRRMCs AND LDRRMOs

The creation of permanent local DRRM offices and functioning councils at the local level is one of the ways to ensure that all DRRM-related activities, plans and programs will be implemented and sustained, especially at the local level. Having a point of convergence is important to ensure that risk reduction measures complement one another and are institutionalized with the end in view of reducing people and institutional vulnerabilities to disasters. This will likewise promote the paradigm shift towards mainstreaming DRRM in local planning by investing risk-reduction measures from the reactive mode exemplified by activities limited to disaster response operation.

 

MAINSTREAMING OF DRR IN ALL PLANS

In all four (4) Thematic Areas under the MDRRMP, ensuring the mainstreaming of DRRM and CCA in the various programs, plans, projects of either regional or local government units, including the private sector groups and other members of the community is a MUST. This primarily means that disaster risks analysis and impacts are integrated and taken into consideration in the development of policies and plans by the different agencies organizations sectors.

 

RESEARCH, TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AND KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

With the changes in the climate and technological advances, regularly conducting research and technology development will contribute to more innovative and adaptive mechanisms and approaches towards DRRM and CCA. Alongside new information, knowledge management through database development, documentation, recognition and replication of good practices will help achieve the objectives and targets of the MDRRMP through more efficient use of resources, learnings and experiences.

 

NETWORKING AND PARTNERSHIP BUILDING BETWEEN AND AMONG STAKEHOLDERS, MEDIA AND TIERS OF GOVERNMENT

Building resilient communities cannot and should not be done by a single agency or organization. Its success is highly dependent on the close collaboration and cooperation of the different stakeholders. “Building effective and mutually reinforcing partnerships and evolving networks ensure the multi-stakeholder and multi-sectoral participation of the different players in DRRM.

 

PRE-DISASTER RECOVERY PLANNING FOR FASTER POST-DISASTER REHABILITATION AND RECOVERY

Whenever a disaster occurs in the municipality, there is always great pressure to quickly reconstruct damaged infrastructures and critical other facilities. Pre-disaster recovery planning will help in a more effective response, hasten the recovery from the impacts of a disaster, and ensure the achievement of rehabilitation and recovery outcomes. Pre-disaster recovery planning also promotes greater participation in a non-disaster environment. Within the perspective of building back better, this activity will involve creating disaster scenarios, determining the key areas of intervention, and establishing post-disaster recovery organization. Key inputs to this activity are the risk assessments as well as lessons learned from earlier disaster rehabilitation and recovery experiences.

 

IMPLEMENTATION MECHANISMS

At the municipal level, implementation of the MDRRMP shall take place through the integration of DRRM into relevant municipal plans such as the Municipal Development Plan as well through the development and implementation of respective action plans of municipal  government agencies for their respective activities as indicated in the MDRRMP.

 

MUNICIPAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT COUNCIL   (MDRRMC)

The MDRRMC  has the overall responsibility of approving the MDRRMP and ensuring that it is consistent with the Republic Act (RA) 10121 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR), National DRRM Plan (NDRRMP). It is tasked to coordinate, integrate, supervise, and evaluate the activities of the LDRRMCs. The MDRRMC shall be responsible in ensuring disaster sensitive regional development plans that contribute to and are aligned with the NDRRMP.

 

OFFICE OF CIVIL DEFENSE (OCD)

As prescribed in RA 10121, the Office of Civil Defense has the main responsibility of ensuring the implementation and monitoring of the RDRRMP. Specifically, it is tasked to conduct periodic assessment and performance monitoring of member-agencies of the RDRRMC. It is also responsible in ascertaining that the physical framework, social, economic and environmental plans of communities, cities, municipalities and provinces are consistent with the NDRRMP. OCD is also tasked to make sure that all DRR programs, projects and activities requiring regional and international support shall be in accordance with duly established national policies and aligned with international agreements.

 

At the regional and local levels, the OCD needs to review and evaluate the Local DRRM Plans (LDRRMPs) to facilitate the integration of DRR measures into the local Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP).

 

AGENCY LEADS AND IMPLEMENTING PARTNERS

Current activities and programs are already contributing to the achievement of RDRRMP goals and objectives, but may be still currently termed differently. The identification of specific programs and projects under the RDRRMP as well as their lead and partner agencies will help in pinning down specific budget and promote better planning for appropriate and effective DRRM investments at the regional and local levels. It will also bring in synergies between different regional government projects and activities vis-à-vis the planning process and implementation.

 

Agency leads and implementing partner organizations and/or groups are identified in the RDRRMP to ensure the effective implementation of the plan.

RESOURCE MOBILIZATION

At the regional and local levels, the following sources can be tapped to fund the various DRRM programs and projects:

1. Annual Budget Appropriation – through the existing budgets of the regional government agencies
2. Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund (LDRRMF)
3. Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF)
4. Donor Funds

 

Aside from the above fund sources, the RDRRMP will also tap into the non-monetary resources available which can help attain the targets identified in this plan, namely:

1. Community-based good practices for replication and scaling up
2. Indigenous practices on DRRM
3. Public-Private-Partnerships
4. DRR and CCA networks of key stakeholders

 

MONITORING AND EVALUATION

Feedback mechanisms are important aspects of gauging performance targets and learning from experiences on the ground. The RDRRMP, being a long term plan which transcends political terms, administrations and leaderships, need to be constantly reviewed in terms of its relevance and impact on the changing situations on the ground.

 

Monitoring and evaluation are essential components of results of results-based programming in DRRM as these will ensure the plan’s on-time implementation and that lessons from past experiences become input to the plan altogether. Also, through monitoring and evaluation activities, appropriate and needed revisions and/or changes can be identified, from the enumerated activities to the implementation mechanisms, in case more appropriate ones are realized. These will be done by OCD 9, in close coordination with RDRRMC 9’s Four (4) Committees, and will focus on relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, and sustainability. A standard monitoring and evaluation template will be developed by OCD Central Office with the NDRRMC-Technical Management Groups, and shall be adapted at the regional level.

 

 

Monitoring and evaluation will use the indicators, targets and activities identified in each of the four thematic areas of the RDRRMP. The indicators set in the RDRRMP will be applicable to both the regional and local levels. The local level targets will be operationalized in the respective local DRRM plans which the LGUs need to develop through their respective local DRRM offices and councils. Customization of the targets will depend on the risk assessments and analysis done in their respective local areas. As regards the monitoring of the specific outputs and activities, this will be overseen by the activities are delivered efficiently and effectively.

 

Throughout all activities, ensuring “Safer, Adaptive and Disaster-Resilient Filipino Communities toward Sustainable Development” will be the main focus. It will be essential that this learning is captured and shared amongst the various stakeholders, leads and partners. Throughout its implementation, reporting on the progress on the RDRRMP will be communicated through various media and partners, making sure that the learning are shared effectively. These will then feed into the RDRRMP, making it adaptive to the changing situations and needs on the ground. In the Monitoring and Evaluation activities, it will be essential to link up the learning from the RDRRMP implementation with other related plans.
