Using maps to design appropriate interventions

The Peace and Equity Foundation and Kabuhayan sa Ganap na Kasarinlan Credit and Savings Cooperative (KCOOP) will soon use a geospatial or mapping technology to assist them in dealing with risks and vulnerabilities in their areas of intervention.

Organized by the National Resilience Council, Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan (Xavier Ateneo), and Manila Observatory, the online six-day training workshop on web-based Geospatial Risk Database covered the basic concepts, components and interpretations of risk assessment, and Geographic Information System mapping for a risk-informed decision making.
