I. GENERAL INFORMATION:
The Philippines: (PH)
Archipelagic nation in Southeast Asia 7,107 islands. Total land area=300,000 sq. kms. 36,000 kilometers of coastlines Bounded by South China Sea on the west and north, Pacific Ocean on the east, and the Celebes Sea and the coastal waters of Borneo on the south 3 major island groups of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao Tropical marine climate, dominated by two major seasons: wet and dry seasons Population - 90 million as of 2010 Agriculture is the primary source of livelihood in the country.

II. DISASTER RISK PROFILE

Situated along the Eurasian and Pacific plates. 300 volcanoes, 22 as active, 27 are potentially active with three volcanoes constantly monitored recently. (Mt. Mayon, Taal and Bulusan) Extensive fault lines generate an average of 20 quakes per day, mostly minor ones. Located in the typhoon belt, the Philippines Average of 18-22 typhoons a year almost half of which is destructive. Vulnerable rural areas where houses are light structured and not able to withstand the effects of these weather disturbances. Its 289 kms. of coastline is exposed to possible storm surges, tsunami, and sea level rise.

DISASTER RISK PROFILE (cont)

Flooding is a perennial problem due to: unplanned and unregulated development ventures (housing and other industries e.g fish ponds, mining) informal settlers living in waterways and houses on river banks; denuded forest due to illegal logging; eroded soil; poor waste management; problematic protocols in the release of waters in major dams the impacts of climate change is also causing unpredictable behaviours of typhoons and its effects The effects of El Nio and La Nia can cause inundations, landslides and drought which affects food security and energy

DISASTER RISK PROFILE (cont)

The countrys vulnerability to natural hazards alone cost the Philippine Government an average of Php 15 billion annually in direct damages or more than 0.5% of the countrys GNP Aside from these direct impacts, disasters have also derailed social and economic development since funds are reallocated from on-going programs to finance relief and reconstruction assistance. Latest report from Maplecroft lists the Philippines as second among 10 countries with the greatest share of their economic activities exposed to natural hazards. (2012 Natural Hazard Risk Atlas)

III. PHILIPPINE DRRM SYSTEM

International Framework on DRR: HFA
The Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015 is an international agreement aimed at substantially reducing disaster losses by building the resilience of nations and communities to disasters, promoting a strategic and systematic approach to reducing vulnerabilities and risks to hazards. It was adopted by 168 Member States of the United Nations (incl. the Philippines) during the World Disaster Reduction Conference held in Kobe, Hyogo, Japan, from 18 to 22 January 2005.

III. PHILIPPINE DRRM SYSTEM

5 Priorities for Action under the Hyogo Framework:
1. Ensure that disaster risk reduction is a national and a local priority with a strong institutional basis for implementation. 2. Identify, assess and monitor disaster risks and enhance early warning. 3. Use knowledge, innovation and education to build a culture of safety and resilience at all levels. 4. Reduce the underlying risk factors. 5. Strengthen disaster preparedness for effective response at all levels. A biennial review on the progress of implementation of the HFA is undertaken by each country using a self assessment tool known as the HFA Online Monitor.

Generic description of level of progress

Comprehensive achievement has been attained, with the commitment and capacities to sustain efforts at all levels. Substantial achievement has been attained, but with some recognised deficiencies in commitment, financial resources or operational capacities. There is some institutional commitment and capacities to achieving DRR but progress is not comprehensive or substantial. Achievements have been made but are incomplete, and while improvements are planned, the commitment and capacities are limited. Achievements are minor and there are few signs of planning or forward action to improve the situation.

III. PHILIPPINE DRRM SYSTEM

Regional Framework on DRR: AADMER
The ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER) is the first legally binding framework for all ASEAN member states and serves as a common platform in responding to disasters within the ASEAN. It entered into force in December 2009, signed by 10-member nations with the objective of reducing disaster losses in ASEAN countries, and jointly respond to disaster emergencies. Activities under the AADMER are guided by the AADMER Work Programme 2010-2015. An ASEAN Coordinating Center for Humanitarian Assistance on Disaster Management (AHA Center) has been established to facilitate co-operation and co-ordination among the parties, and relevant United Nations and international organizations, in promoting regional collaboration.
