The project focused on strengthening the disaster preparedness capacities of high-risk urban poor communities and LGUs by furnishing safe and sufficient shelter and washing facilities for the current and potentially displaced populations in selected urban poor communities in Malabon and Navotas in National Capital Region, Cebu in Central Visayas, and Cagayan de Oro in Northern Mindanao. It was implemented by a local Philippine organization ACCORD Incorporated from October 2019 and became timely this 2020.
