Fight disasters with attitude Comment |More| By Rizel S. AdlawanRizel S. Adlawan Saturday, November 13, 2010 More Sections A TOWN official said funding is not an issue in making towns resilient to disasters. San Francisco Vice Mayor Alfredo Arquillano said its all about molding the attitude of the constituents. It may start in educating them on sustainable development, though it is not easy, he said. He said there are different ways of using existing resources to prepare for calamities. Arquillano, a former town mayor, had organized the purok system to guide the community to work together to attain their basic needs. The system also helps the town in carrying out its risk reduction program, he said. In a written statement distributed to mayors during the regular meeting of the League of Municipalities (LMP), Arquillano said when he was mayor, he saved on calamity funds because of his early warning system. The town also installed solar power in remote barangays, established water impounding dam and rehabilitated mangrove areas, he said. Arquillano was one of the representatives of the country to the 4th Association of Southeast Asian Nations Ministerial Conference for Disaster Risk Reduction in Incheon, Korea. He will lead the launching of the global campaign in Cebu next month when town mayors sign up for the 2010-2011 World Disaster Reduction Campaign. The campaign will carry the theme, Making Cities Resilient, My City is Getting Ready. The mayors will also commit to making cities resilient to calamities, like making municipal development sustainable, uplifting economic conditions of the poor, providing the public with comfortable evacuation centers and having risk assessment data for urban development plans and decisions. Arquillano said they conduct hazard mappings in schools and barangays. The data will be updated every year. They also monitor the construction of buildings to see if they are not within the 20-meter easement required by law to be kept clear. We cant stop towns from growing but we can start planning in a sustainable way, he said. Published in the Sun.Star Cebu newspaper on November 14, 2010.

(Published in Prevention Web) Philippines: San Francisco, Cebu lead province-wide campaign for disaster preparedness Date: 1 Dec 2010 Source(s): Municipality of San Francisco Municipality of San Francisco We can expect more weather disturbances. The only thing we can do is prepare for them said Vice Mayor Alfredo Arquillano Jr. of San Francisco, one of four towns in the Camotes Group of Islands, Cebu, Philippines. He made this statement over Pagtuki, the radio program of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI), during a recent episode on the climate change phenomenon. Arquillano shared his towns comprehensive disaster preparedness program designed to make his constituents ready for typhoons, heavy rains, and other calamities. He was joined by Cliff Abraham, Department of Environment and Natural Resources administrative officer, and Engr. Oscar Tabada, regional director of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical Astronomical Services Administration 7.

Slide 105

Some of the disaster risk reduction initiatives of San Francisco include setting up an early warning system that monitors the amount of rainfalls in the area through rain gauges and organization of Camotes Islands Emergency Response team mainly composed of community-based volunteers. San Francisco is one of the 79 towns and cities in the world that had adopted the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction Making Cities Resilient Campaign. The town has also been adjudged twice as Grand Champion and Green Champion of the expanded Green and Wholesome Environment that Nurtures (EGWEN) Our Cebu Program, a five-year joint development program of RAFI and the Cebu Provincial Government. The town also implements a strict solid waste management program, maintains six marine protected areas and promotes sustainable green agriculture using organic fertilizer to ensure the food security of the residents. San Francisco, Cebu, Philippines is now developing a land use plan that aims to identify hazardous areas in order to put in systems that will protect the people and property within and near these areas. San Francisco recently launched its 'Two Million Trees in Five Years Project' during the International Day for Disaster Reduction last October 13, 2010, which involves the collection of wildlings; bagging; planting; growing; cultivating new tree species; and providing the atmosphere with a fuller ingestion of carbon-dioxide. By tackling our vulnerability, we can significantly reduce the risk of disaster and we can build safer and more resilient community-led mitigation measures, Arquillano said. DRR Convenor Alfredo Arquillano, Jr. had done a numerous world disaster risk reduction campaign in the regional, provincial and municipal level for the past two months through speaking engagement to the various activities conducted by RAFI and government officials. He emphasized that funding is not an issue in making towns resilient to disaster, its about moulding the attitude of the constituents, implementers, chief executives, policy makers, investors and other stakeholders to have a deeper understanding of what is sustainable development all about. Installing the concept that development does not requires huge amount of money, its a matter of how the local government maximizing existing resources to a very productive projects and most importantly is mainstreaming the DRR plan to any development form in the municipality. He shared also to other municipality the San Franciscos own way of preparedness by empowering the community through 'purok system' approach, (a system to guide the community to work together to attain their basic needs. The system also helps the town in carrying out its risk reduction program) and combat man made hazardous activities without jeopardizing the ecosystem and environment through proper solid waste management on which the town is being popular province wide of its strong implementation. In-line with this, the San Francisco, Philippines spearheaded the Enhancement Training on Solid Waste Management this coming December 9-10 for those municipalities who have difficulties in implementation. Furthermore, the mayor didnt stop his DRR awareness raising through print media publications, radio guesting, delivered DRR speeches on the open forum and group discussions with Cebu province officials on which he gained support from the president of the mayors league of Cebu Province by making a resolution on their support to global campaign and willingness to host the Regional Campaign for World Disaster Reduction, as one of the preparations for the future launching in Region 7, Philippines. He believes that if people are ready and have the right knowledge and information on disaster preparedness, less damage will be done.

More local government units (LGUs) are seeing the importance of disaster preparedness and are joining the UN's campaign on disaster resilience. I laud the mayors of the municipalities of San Francisco, Poro, Tudela, and Pilar of Camotes Islands for taking action by joining this movement, she said. The four municipalities have committed to relocating communities and key infrastructure that are prone to storms, cleaning up the coastline, and planting more tress. Under the UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction campaign, the mayors will also strengthen their emergency response teams and conduct community- based climate change information drives.
