Understanding the risks in disaster-prone areas
Aims to inform the decision making of residents of resettlement sites (who want to go back in or attempting to go back to these disaster prone areas where they originally lived) as well as inform those still residing in these sites of the risks they face. Special target areas were Tagas and Binitayan.
Strategies Used: PCVA, community risk mapping and assessment, capacity building on DRR, understanding weather forecasts, organizing Quick Response Teams (QRTs), community contingency plans, community drills, and participation in the formulation of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP)
Attempts at sustaining livelihoods in Anislag and Taysan ( to prevent resettled residents from going back to high risk areas where livelihoods are perceived to be more accessible).
Strategies used: soft loan assistance for livelihoods, capacity building for business planning, bookkeeping
Attempts at increasing resilience through health interventions and social protection , thus, reducing risks to diseases particularly at the height of natural hazards
Strategies: Training barangay health workers for Anislag and Taysan, feeding program for children to increase access to nutrient-rich food, and facilitating PhilHealth membership (health insurance)
Attempts at increasing resilience at the household level.
Strategies used: Gender dialogue, family counseling, developing HH-based disaster action plan and preemptive/defensive evacuation
