#RememberHaiyan: Developing grassroots resilience and preparedness

I WAS recently asked to give an input regarding developing resilience and disaster preparedness for a group of community leaders coming from Yolanda stricken areas of Samar, Leyte and Cebu.

I tried to update a presentation I made last year as the disaster struck the area. There I listed several points on how our communities can build disaster resilience from the bottom up as well as having ‘kaandaman” or preparedness in light of the many hazards that our country faces.
