“tracking the sky…helping the country”

  • The Philippines is affected by an increase in extreme weather events such as tropical

cyclones, floods, monsoons, ITCZ and severe weather system.

  • Tropical cyclones are now more diverse, complex and associated with heavy rainfall

and strong winds producing more damage, thus the following actions must be done:

  • Map out the areas at risk to natural hazards;
  • Undertake Community-based early warning system for high risk areas;
  • Make people aware of the disaster risk;
  • Improve community preparedness and resilience;
  • Define clear roles and responsibilities and wide participation of all stakeholders;
  • Information and communications technology (ICT) plays an important role in disaster risk

reduction and management;

  • We cannot afford to be complacent on the dangers of these hazards;
  • We must play our part to have a SAFER community…Now is the time to act.
