DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION PLAN

INTRODUCTION

The enactment recently of two national laws dealing with natural hazards and disasters, the
Climate Change Act of 2009 (RA 9729) and the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Act of 2010 (RA 10121) seems to be a clear acknowledgement of the status
of the Philippines as one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world.
This label owes mainly to the countrys geographical location and peculiar geophysical
characteristics. The country lies on the northwest corner of the Western Pacific Basin, the
worlds most active generator of climatic conditions such as monsoons, thunderstorms,
typhoons, and the like, making it directly on the path of an average of 20 tropical cyclones,
at least nine of which make a landfall every year. The country is likewise exposed to the
extreme climatic phenomenon of the Pacific, El Nino/La Nina, the cyclical alternation of
drought and intense rainfall, bringing about floods and related hazards like rain-induced
landslides and disease outbreak in many areas of the country.
Geophysically, the country is surrounded by several active faultlines, the constant shifting of
which causes an average of 20 earthquakes daily, and around 100-150 earthquakes of
various magnitudes annually. Also, scattered all over the archipelago are active, potentially
active and probably dormant volcanoes around 200 in number, 10 percent of which are
under constant watch by government volcanologists.
Aside from natural disasters, the Philippines also experiences human-caused or humaninduced disasters that are of social, political or economic origin. The long-running armed
conflict between the government and insurgent groups, for example, has been causing the
massive displacement and evacuation of entire communities in the conflict areas. Use of
inappropriate technologies like the continued commissioning of aging commercial vessels
has resulted in maritime mishaps with record numbers of fatalities. In urban areas, fire is
almost of daily occurrence usually in low-income sections of the city due to inadequate
construction and unauthorized electrical connections.
Puerto Princesa shares the good luck of the Island Province of Palawan in that geologically,
Palawan belongs to the land mass of mainland Asia. As such, it is less tectonically active
unlike the rest of the Philippine archipelago which lies on the active Pacific plate. The
implication of this is that Palawan is relatively free from the two major generators of natural
hazards: earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The only remaining natural hazards that
Puerto Princesa has to contend with therefore are those triggered by meteorological
phenomena or climate related. Of course, there are also the human-caused hazards which

DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION PLAN

are inevitable where ever human settlements are found. Nevertheless, the City of Puerto
Princesa is not leaving things to chance. Instead, it has taken the initiative to formulate and
implement a comprehensive and integrated Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Plan (LDRRMP) in accordance with the national, regional and provincial framework and
policies on disaster risk reduction in close coordination with the local development councils
(LDCs) (Sec. 12 (c) (5), RA 10121). Hence, this Plan.

Understanding Related Concepts


Hazard a potentially damaging physical event, phenomenon or human activity that may
cause the loss of life or injury, property damage, social and economic disruption or
environmental degradation. There are three categories of hazards: meteorological,
geophysical, and anthropogenic. Meteorological or climate-related hazards include
typhoons, extreme precipitation, extreme temperatures, drought, sea level rise, storm
surges, tornado, and avian flu. Examples of geophysical hazards are earthquake, volcanic
eruption, mass movement, erosion/scouring, tsunami, flooding, landslides and liquefaction.
Anthropogenic or human-caused hazards include global warming, pollution, soil erosion due
to deforestation, mining and upland cultivation, garbalanche, urban and forest fire, land, sea
and air mishaps, disease outbreak, agricultural pests and diseases, harmful algal bloom, and
terrorism.
Disaster a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or society which exceeds
the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources. Disasters
are often the result of a combination of factors which include exposure to a hazard, a
condition of vulnerability, and the absence of or insufficiency of capacity or measures to
reduce or cope with the potential negative impacts of a hazard event.
Disaster risk the probability that negative consequences such as loss of lives, health status,
livelihood, assets or services, could arise when hazard events happen in areas where the
people, property, and environment are vulnerable.
Disaster risk reduction the concept of and a tool for reducing disaster risks through
systematic efforts to analyze and manage the causal factors of disasters, to reduce
exposures to hazards and vulnerabilities of people and property, and to wisely manage the
use of land and the environment to improve preparedness for adverse events.
Disaster risk reduction and management the systematic process of using administrative
directives, organizations, and operational skills and capacities to implement strategies,
policies and improved coping capacities in order to lessen the adverse impacts of hazards
and the possibility of disasters. It embraces all forms of activities to avoid or to limit the
adverse impacts of hazards.

The National DRRM Framework


The current national effort at disaster risk management represents a paradigm shift. The old
approach to disaster management was characterized by a focus on giving assistance or
intervention during or immediately after a disaster. There was heavy reliance on physical
and engineering solutions directed at predicting, modeling and modifying natural hazards.
Similarly, international agencies channeled their resources to humanitarian assistance,
disaster aid, and relief operations. Under the new approach there is as much attention given
to hazards as to vulnerabilities and capacities of people and places. There is now a greater
emphasis on varying exposure levels of population groups living in poorly constructed
buildings, incorrectly sited developments, informal settlements, and inadequately provided
open space. Because of the inadvisability if not futility of fighting against nature, there is
now greater recognition of the necessity to enhance the capacities of people and
institutions to cope with and adapt to the effects of natural disasters.
Stated simply, the national DRRM framework involves a systematic analysis of the risk
factors (hazards and exposures), reducing the vulnerabilities and increasing the capacities of
the elements at risk, and mainstreaming these efforts in the policy making, planning and
implementation processes in all levels from national to local, aimed at achieving the vision
of safer, adaptive and disaster-resilient Filipino communities toward sustainable
development. (See Figure 1.)

Figure 1. The National DRRM Framework


Components of DRRM

The Philippine disaster risk reduction and management system consists of four components:
mitigation and prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery and rehabilitation. The
first two pertain to activities before the hazard event while the last two during and after the
event.
Disaster prevention and mitigation. Disaster prevention is the outright avoidance of adverse
impacts of hazards and related disasters. It expresses the intention to completely avoid
potential adverse impacts through actions taken in advance such as construction of dams or
embankments that eliminate flood risks, land use regulations that do not permit any
settlement in high-risk zones, or seismic engineering designs that ensure the survival and
functioning of a critical building in any likely earthquake. Similarly, disaster mitigation seeks
to lessen or limit the adverse impacts of hazards and related disasters. Disaster mitigation
measures, like those of disaster prevention, include structural and non-structural measures
such as hazard-resistant construction and engineering works, the formulation and
implementation of plans, programs, projects and activities, awareness raising knowledge
management, policies on land use and resource management, and the enforcement of
building safety standards and regulations. With this component of DRRM in place, hazards
are effectively avoided and their potential impacts mitigated through reduced vulnerabilities
and enhanced capacities of at-risk communities.

DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION PLAN

Disaster preparedness - pertains to the knowledge and capacities developed by


governments, professional groups, communities and individuals to effectively anticipate,
respond to, and recover from the impacts of likely imminent or currently occurring hazard
events or conditions. As a component of DRRM, preparedness aims to build the capacities to
efficiently manage all types of emergencies and achieve orderly transition from response
mode to sustained recovery. Preparedness is based on sound analysis of disaster risk and on
good linkages with early warning systems. Preparedness includes activities like contingency
planning, stockpiling of equipment and supplies, the development of arrangements for
coordination, evacuation and public information, and associated training and field exercises.
These must be backed up by formal institutional, legal and budgetary support.
Disaster response the provision of emergency services and public assistance during or
immediately after a disaster in order to save lives, reduce health impacts, ensure public
safety, and meet the basic subsistence needs of the people affected. Disaster response is
essentially focused on meeting immediate and short-term needs and is sometime called
disaster relief.
Post-disaster recovery and rehabilitation - the restoration and improvement where
appropriate, of facilities, livelihood and living conditions of disaster-affected communities,
including reduction of disaster risk factors in accordance with the build back better
principle. Rehabilitation measures ensure the long-term ability of affected communities and
areas to restore their normal level of functioning by rebuilding damaged livelihoods and
infrastructures along with increasing the communities organizational capacity.

The Organization of this DRRM Plan


Consistent with the national DRRM framework, this Plan consists of the four components. It
comes in four parts.
Part I Hazard, Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment. The hazards, natural and humancaused, which are likely to hit any part of Puerto Princesa are identified through a plenary
brainstorming among various stakeholders. This resulted in a general consensus that Puerto
Princesa will expect to be hit by eight hazards: flooding, storm surge, landslides, disease
outbreak, harmful algal bloom/agricultural pests and diseases, urban and forest fires,
terrorism, and land, sea and air mishaps. Each of these hazards was then assigned to one
break up group which generated the following information, among others:
1. Characterization of the hazard, its origin or triggering factors, aggravating
phenomena, the frequency, intensity and magnitude of occurrence, and the like.
2. The areas exposed to the hazard specific to sitios and barangays, the elements at risk
and the nature of damage that each element will sustain in case of a hazard event.
3. The factors that make these elements vulnerable to the hazard.

Puerto Princesa City 6


DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION PLAN

4. The internal strengths and external resources at the disposal of affected


communities which enable them to cope with, withstand, and recover from the
adverse effects of hazard events.
5. Possible measures to reduce vulnerabilities and enhance capacities of the elements
at risk.
The proposed measures generated in Item 5 above become inputs to the different
components in subsequent parts such as preparedness (Part II), response (Part III) and
mitigation, prevention and rehabilitation (Part IV).
Part II - Hazard-Specific, Place-Focused Disaster Preparedness Plan.
For each of the hazards identified in Part I a preparedness plan was prepared by the same
group assigned to a particular hazard. The preparedness plan simply consists of specific
actions that have to be done immediately before, during, and shortly after the occurrence of
a hazard event. Also, for each activity or group of activities the agencies, departments or
offices principally responsible are identified. Finally, logistical requirements needed to carry
out the activities are listed to guide programming and budgeting. For best results, however,
such hazard-specific preparedness plans are better formulated at the level of communities
and barangays where the impact of hazard events is directly felt.
Part III Emergency Response and Recovery.
In the same manner as in Part II emergency response and recovery plans are more
effectively prepared and implemented at the community or barangay level. This component
of DRRM involves four sets of activities: 1) organizing the different committees and
volunteer groups and orienting and training them on their respective tasks and
responsibilities, 2) setting up an early warning system and getting the affected communities
to familiarize themselves with the system, 3) handling the actual move of affected families
who need to be evacuated, and 4) managing the evacuation center and administering
various relief and recovery services during and shortly after the hazard event.
Part IV Prevention, Mitigation and Rehabilitation.
This is the proactive part of DRRM. Measures under this component of DRRM consist mainly
of structural or infrastructure projects designed to prevent or mitigate the adverse physical
impact of natural hazards well in advance of their occurrence. After the event, rehabilitation
for long-term public safety and security demands adhering to the principle of build back
better structures whether in private construction or in public works. Towards more
resilient public works projects, DRRM-generated projects are to be included in the Citys
public investment program to be implemented through the annual budget. Part IV of this
Plan therefore consists mainly of project briefs which are forwarded to the City
Development Council as inputs to the annual investment program.

Mainstreaming DRRM into the Local Planning and Governance System


The Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act (RA 10121) mandates all local
government units to prepare their DRRM plans and directs the Local Disaster Risk Reduction
and Management Council (LDRRMC) to integrate such plan into local development plans,
programs and budgets [Sec. 11 (b) (2)]. This implies that the DRR/CCA plan is not intended
to be a stand-alone, self-executory plan. For it to be implemented it must form an integral
part of local governance systems and processes.
The manner with which this DRR/CCA Plan has been mainstreamed into the local
development plans differs from the conventional practice. The usual practice involves
preparing the thematic, area or system plan separately and then integrating the output
into the mandated comprehensive plans by the simple expediency of the local legislative
body passing a resolution adopting the former as integral part of the latter. The preparation
of this DRR/CCA Plan which is an example of a thematic plan is rather propitious in that it
was undertaken almost simultaneously with the formulation of the Citys comprehensive
development plan (CDP) and revision of its comprehensive land use plan (CLUP). This
allowed a near-seamless integration into the components of the local planning system,
namely, planning structure, planning processes, plan outputs, and plan implementation.
Integration into the Local Planning Structure. The first entry point of mainstreaming is in the
organization of a functional committee on DRR/CCA planning. A functional committee is an
ad hoc working group organized to address a development issue that is cross sectoral in
character. It is formed with members drawn from the permanent sectoral committees of
the Local Development Council plus other individuals with relevant expertise, interests or
advocacy. In the case of Puerto Princesa, all the members of the five development sectors
were deployed to the eight identified hazards. In addition, other officials from relevant
offices and national government agencies as well as representatives of voluntary
organizations numbering more than 80 individuals constituted the DRR/CCA working
committees (See the names in the last section below.)
The organization of working committees is deemed necessary in order to redress what
seems to be a lapse in the law which assigned the task of preparing the DRR/CCA plan,
among 25 other tasks, to the local DRRM Office which most LGUs are unable to create. At
the same time, the local DRRM Council, composed of more than 20 members is assigned
only four functions which do not include plan preparation. Anyway, the LDC sectoral and
functional committees are the main technical component of the local planning structure
whose services can be harnessed in all aspects of plan formulation.
Integration into the planning process. With the seamless meshing between the sectoral
groups formulating the mandated comprehensive plans and the functional committees that
prepared the DRR/CCA plan there was inevitably an active borrowing and lending of data

Puerto Princesa City 8


DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION PLAN

inputs, analytical techniques, and proposed solutions between and among the groups. The
identification of areas at risk, for example, made use of thematic maps compiled and used in
connection with the on-going revision of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. In addition, the
identification of vulnerability and capacity factors of various elements at risk was aided by
the socio-economic and physical profile that served as a source of inputs to all sectoral
development plans in the CDP. Finally, the Problem-Solution Matrix was used as the
analytical framework for generating proposed policies and intervention measures common
to both groups. A series of plenary and break up group workshops ensured a highly
participatory and consultative process followed by both groups.
Integration of the plan outputs. Despite the seamless meshing of the planning bodies and
processes, the DRR/CCA Plan has been prepared in separate binding from the CDP and
CLUP. But for all intents and purposes, this thematic plan is an integral part of the
comprehensive plans of the City. This is the reason why the DRR/CCA Plan no longer carries
its own vision statement, a situational analysis, and other conventional parts of stand-alone
plan documents. Being a detailed plan prepared in the context of the Citys comprehensive
plans, this DRR/CCA Plan merely derives from and is supportive of the CDP and CLUP. The final
convergence is seen in the form of proposed policy interventions. Whether proposed policies are
embodied in the comprehensive plans or in the thematic, area or system plans, these are expressed
in forms that can lend themselves to be implemented, namely, projects, services or regulatory
measures.

Integration in plan implementation. Plans per se cannot be implemented unless they are cut
down into smaller units or instruments of development management: projects, non-projects
or services, and regulatory measures. Projects are positive instruments for building up the
capital assets of government, for enhancing the quality of public facilities and services, as
well as for leveraging private sector investments in the locality. Projects are funded through
the investment or development funds of concerned national agencies, or of the local
government unit. Implementation of projects is the responsibility of concerned departments
of the executive branch, whether by administration or by contract. Proposed projects under
the mitigation component in this DRR/CCA Plan are incorporated in the Citys investment
program and funded with both the citys development fund and the DRR fund, as authorized
by law.
Non-projects or services, on the other hand, are activities and tasks necessary to carry out
the proposed policies in the plan that are, or can be performed by already existing offices
and departments of the local government including those executive bodies that may be
subsequently created. Funding for such services is covered by the maintenance and other
operating expenditures (MOOE) component of the concerned offices or departments. In the
specific case of this DRR/CCA Plan, the needed services will be carried out mainly through
the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, with the assistance and support of

Puerto Princesa City 9


DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION PLAN

all other relevant offices and departments of the local government as well as field offices of
national government agencies operating in Puerto Princesa.
Regulatory measures are also a necessary instrument of management in that they seek to
prevent or preempt certain socially undesirable actions and behaviors that tend to nullify or
neutralize the benefits that may accrue from the positive intervention measures. Regulatory
measures that fall beyond the prescribed powers of the local government are enacted by
the National Legislature or Congress. Otherwise, regulatory measures emanate from the
Sangguniang Panlungsod and enforced by the executive branch. Some regulatory measures
may also be promulgated through administrative or executive orders by the Local Chief
Executive. In the particular case of necessary regulations to implement this DRR/CCA, the
city zoning ordinance has delineated hazard-prone areas as no-build zones in order to put
future settlements permanently out of harms way. Other specific regulations will be
enacted through single-subject ordinances or through executive orders as the need arises.
The mainstreaming framework is illustrated in Figure 2 below.

Community-level disaster preparedness plans


This city-level DRR/CCA Plan has to be further translated into community-level preparedness and
emergency response plans. This is necessary because most hazards are place specific and do not
affect the city in its entirety. Also, for practical reasons, due to the unusually large area of Puerto
Princesa, quick-response capability is best decentralized to the different communities. The new
spatial strategy adopted in the revised CLUP wherein five clusters of rural barangays are created,
each with its own cluster center where many city government services will be decentralized will in
effect bring the city-level services closer to far-flung communities. Among the first cluster-level
facilities to be provided and maintained are the permanent multi-purpose buildings which will also
serve as evacuation centers in times of emergency to free the public elementary schools from being
used for that purpose.

Part I

Hazard, Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment

Flooding
Flooding - is generally defined as a rise in the water level when a water body such as a river
or lake exceeds its capacity or when any area experiences unusual rise in water level. It
maybuild up slowly and seasonally or immediately. The immediate cause of flooding is
heavy rains but its impact could be aggravated by artificial or human activities such as
blocking of natural water ways due to construction of concrete structure, deposition of solid
wastes and inadequate water drainage and sewerage system. In areas near the coast,
flooding could be affected by the occurrence of high tides. Tidal flows however, occur
regularly and therefore can be predicted with accuracy and their impacts can be avoided.
Coastal zone flooding can also occur when strong onshore winds push the water inland
causing a rise in the sea level and putting under water low-lying areas along the coast.
Worst cases of coastal flooding happen when heavy rains coincide with the occurrence of
high tide.
In areas along rivers flooding is typically caused by excess surface run-off and stream flow
and accumulation of debris. In such a case the capacity of the river channel is exceeded and
so the river overtops its banks and the excess water flows into the adjacent flood plains.
Lower and flatter areas in the flood plains usually receive deeper inundation. Some floods
affect only a limited area. Localized floods result from relatively short intense bursts of
rainfalldue to weather disturbances. Localized floods can occur anywhere but they are of
particular concern in low-lying urban areas where drainage systems are inadequate.
Flashfloods may occur in areas with steep river channel slopes, on areas with abrupt
changes in elevation, and in narrow valleys which restrict the flow of water resulting in
damming action. Usually, a sudden discharge accompanied by debris materials that block off
the waterway causes flashfloods. Although of short duration, flashfloods are known to be
destructive because of their abrupt occurrence and are relatively unpredictable.
Other causes of flood flows include blockages of river channels due to deposition of
sediments, debris and the like, and the narrowing of sections of waterways such as canals,
bridges and culverts. Flooding affects all types of land cover, from built-up areas to
agricultural crops and even fishponds.

Storm Surges
Storm Surges a temporary rise of the sea level at the coast above that of the
predicted tide. It is caused by strong winds and low atmospheric pressure associated
with the passage of a typhoon. The period of a storm surge varies from a few
minutes to a few hours depending on the speed of the typhoon. A typical storm
surge has three stages: a) forerunner, b) main surge, and c) resurgence. The
forerunner is the gradual increase in water level when the storm is still far from the
coast. The main surge is characterized by a sudden and substantial rise of the water
level when the storm is close to the coast. A towering dome of sea water some 60km
to 80km across and 2m to 6m above normal sea level crashes into the shore. If this
occurs during high tide huge areas of low ground near the coast in river mouths can
be flooded. Resurgence follows the main surge and the water gradually returns to
normal level after a series of oscillations.
Adverse effects of storm surges include death by drowning or injuries on residents of
settlements located too close to the seashore. Structures, both public and private,
may be severely damaged. Water supply may also become contaminated with
impurities from sea water, floating debris, and sewage.

Landslides
Landslides - otherwise known as mass movements, are the downward and outward
movement of materials such as rock and soil caused by natural processes such as excessive
rain, rapid undercutting by rivers or sea waves, or by human activities. Areas susceptible to
landslides usually include old landslide deposits along, near or beneath steep slopes and
downslopes of streams and creeks; thick soil or fractured rocks; areas along or on top of cut
slopes; and developed steep slopes with no appropriate drainage. Human activities can also
contribute to vulnerability of certain areas to landslides. Building structures around or on

Puerto Princesa City 26


DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION PLAN

top of slopes, pipe leakages, septic system and irrigation discharges, and vibrations from
machinery or from blasting can increase pressure and weaken the soil. Studies worldwide
reveal that about 100mm of rainfall per day can cause rain-induced landslides. The Mines
and Geosciences Bureau of the DENR has defined areas highly susceptible to landslides as
those that show the presence of active or recent landslides, those with large tension cracks
that would affect the community, areas with drainages that are prone to landslide
damming, and those with steep slopes of from 21% to 55%. Even without the use of maps it
is possible to identify active landslide areas by looking at telltale signs like cracks or scars,
surface depressions, disturbance of the drainage pattern, hammock-like topography, and
earlobe-like bulges near the base of slopes.

Harmful Algal Blooms/ Red Tide/ Agricultural Pests and Diseases


Harmful Algal Blooms/ Red Tide/ Agricultural Pests and Diseases- Harmful algal blooms,
known commonly as red tide, refers to the presence in seawaters of extremely high
concentrations of micro-organisms called dinoflagellates. This causes the reddish color of
water, hence the term red tide. Not all dinoflagellates however are toxic. The toxic ones can
be fatal to humans when they eat contaminated fish or shellfish. Besides the threat of
paralytic shellfish poisoning, red tide adversely affects the livelihood of people who depend
on the production, harvest and sale of shellfish. The increase of red tide-causing microorganisms in seawater can be influenced by salinity, temperature, light, nutrients, amount
of rainfall, and air temperature. Pollution from solid and liquid wastes also contributes to
the occurrence of red tide.

Puerto Princesa City 30


DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION PLAN

Agricultural pest infestation is an attack by a significant number of insects, animals,


pathogens, and the like, which are harmful to livestock, crops or human beings. The most
common pests in the Philippines are rats and locusts and armyworms which destroy crops
overnight, and foot and mouth disease which causes death to large cattle particularly
carabaos. Similarly, pests affect people directly as when people consume contaminated
meat and suffer from serious health problems, or indirectly, by attacking crops and animals
and threaten peoples source of food and livelihood. Pest infestation is brought about by a
combination of ecological factors such as temperature changes, as well as cultural factors
such as monoculture of crops, transplanting of crops to new locations, and the introduction
of species that have no genetic resistance.

Urban-Grass/Forest Fires
Urban-Grass/Forest Fires become a disaster when combustion of carbon-based materials
and oxygen goes out of control and spreads fast, threatening human life, homes and other
structures. Fires also affect agricultural crops, forest vegetation, and livestock during dry
seasons. Forest fires could be ignited by lightning during a sudden thunderstorm. It could
also be caused by burning agricultural wastes in adjoining farms or grazing areas without fire
breaks. Urban poor communities are most susceptible to fire because of congestion, poor
housing materials and electrical overloading, sub-standard electrical wiring due to illegal
connection or jumpers.

DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION PLAN

Part III
EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND RECOVERY PLAN
This barangay-level emergency response and recovery plan pertains to all possible
hazards that affect the barangay. The main activity components include organizing the
different committees, setting up early warning systems, managing the actual move (in case
of forced evacuation), and managing the evacuees in the evacuation center. All activity
components apply to all hazards except the early warning systems. Some hazards especially
natural hazards have high probability of securing and with a high degree of predictability.
For such types of hazards early warning systems can be established. Other types of hazards,
particularly the human-caused ones, are highly unpredictable. Hence, no early warning
system is necessary for the latter types of hazards. What is needed is the capability of the
affected community to respond appropriately and adequately when the hazard event
occurs, and to recover quickly when the event is over.

Acquisition Of X Ray Machine For MPW Detection and


Construction of Detection with Fumigation Facility
Location: DA-PAC, Barangay Irawan

BRIEF DESCRIPTION:

This project aims to have conditional lifting if not totally ban of mango fruits
to be sold outside Palawan Province. The acquisition of x ray machine is a
big help in the identification of MPW in mango fruits and the construction of
the building where the equipment will be installed for operations. After
certifying MPW free fruits, these will pass through fumigation process to
make sure that the fruits are free from other pests and has equaled with the
quality of fruits being sold in the market.

COMPONENTS:

1. Construction of the Detection Center designed for the installation of


fumigation facility and upgrading of the x ray machine (This
component will be in collaboration with the City Engineering Office)

Designing of the building

Maintenance of the equipment
PROPONENTS:

Office of the City Agriculturist

JUSTIFICATION:

The ban on the shipment of mango outside Palawan as stated in BPI


Administrative Order Number 20, series of 1996 is a burden to the mango
growers of Puerto Princesa and the entire province of Palawan. This is due to
the presence of the destructive pest, the mango pulp weevil
(Sternochetusfrigidus) in Palawan including the City. The occurrence of the
pest resulted to the low income of mango growers because their enthusiasm
to develop and engage in mango industry declined as well.
One of the techniques to prevent and control the spread of this pest is to be
able to identify mango fruits infested with MPW inside in a non-destructive
method. This is done by passing the fruits in an x ray machine to see if the
fruits are free or infested with MPW. Fruits that are negative from MPW are

Puerto Princesa City 122


DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION PLAN

marked CERTIFIED FREE while those with MPW are sliced, buried with
insecticides sprayed and can be burned.
Fumigation can complement the x-ray method since it can kill the MPW
present in the fruits, by using the specified concentration and period of
exposure through phosphine gas.
With these methods, we can be sure that our mango fruits are free from the
MPW and the industry can be able to provide the economic growth needed
in the City for the agriculture sector.

The clich it is better to be robbed many times rather than to be a


victim of fire is proven true by those who have experienced the loss
of their houses, belongings, properties and even life. The fruits of
our many years of perspiring and striving hard just to acquire the
