Early preps, good comms key factors in LGUs’ disaster resilience

Based on the consensus and inputs made on the latest LCC Labs Webinar Series hosted by the Liveable Cities Philippines and the League of Cities of the Philippines and  in partnership with Globe, good preparation and a sound communication system are the key elements in making local government units resilient to natural disasters and calamities.

As shown and proven by the Albay Provincial Government, preparing early for a forthcoming typhoon or tropical storm is very effective in mitigating their effects on the province. Albay is a credible source on how other LGUs can be disaster-ready and resilient because of its vast experience and having a Zero Casualty Formula since 1991 on how to address natural calamities like typhoons and volcanic eruptions courtesy of Mt.
