Kapag Umuulan sa Kabundukan: An Integrated Action Plan on Multiple Hazard Experiences in the City of Antipolo

This action plan focuses on the multi-hazard experiences of the City of Antipolo. Due to its topography and geographical location, the city is prone to typhoons/tropical cyclones and its accompanying hazards. The risk is compounded by the rise in urbanization and population experienced by the city. Guided by the results of the situational analysis, the aim of this action plan is to reduce the risk and increase resilience in Antipolo. Foremost is through evidence-based plans and strategies. Through the development of an integrated information management system, mainstreaming DRRM and strengthening monitoring and
evaluation programs. Focus was also given to enhancing the city’s disaster communication plan taking advantage of the opportunity that the LGU is the primary source of its citizens for DRRM-related information. Central to the action plan is community involvement and a multistakeholder approach. Through the establishment of a community-based Early Warning System. At the same time, increasing capacities of institutions and responders and coordination with other local offices and agencies.
