    “It is not solely the strength of an extreme natural event
    that is responsible for a natural hazard turning into a
    disaster but rather that a society’s social, economic
    and ecological factors also play a crucial role.”

    • Focused more on reducing the risk,
    identifying underlying vulnerabilities
    • Bottom up approach, leaving the DRR
    responsibilities to LGUs
    • Proactive, putting greater emphasis on
    disaster prevention and mitigation
    • Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and
    Management (DRRM) Act of 2010
    NOAH was a DRRM research and development program
    funded by the DOST from July 2012 to February 2017 in
    response to a call for a proactive disaster prevention
    and mitigation program. It was tasked to:
    • Provide high-resolution hazard maps for Floods,
    Landslides and Storm Surges
    • Deliver a near real-time warning system for
    floods for communities living along 18 major
    river systems
    The UP NOAH Center
    • In its 1325th Meeting held on 23 February 2017,
    the University of the Philippines’ Board of
    Regents (BOR) approved the “Establishment of
    the Nationwide Operational Assessment of
    Hazards (hereafter, the NOAH) Center (for climate
    actions and disaster risk reduction management)
    at the University of the Philippines.
    • UP Executive Order PDLC 17-03, signed by
    President Danilo L. Concepcion on 21 March 2017
    formally established the UP NOAH Center.
    The UP Resilience Institute
    • The UP NOAH Center is the core component of
    the University of the Philippines Resilience
    Institute (UPRI).
    • The UP Resilience Institute was established as a
    proactive hub of benchmark innovative
    information vital to the nation's efforts in climate
    change mitigation and adaptation.
    • Its mission is to empower local communities
    through multidisciplinary actions toward
    resilience.
    how do we do this?
     advanced disaster science research
     multidisciplinary assessment of hazards

     develop accessible tools that enable prevention &


    mitigation of disasters
    (LGUs, planners, policy makers, communities, individuals, families)

    On 8 November 2013, Typhoon Haiyan, local name Yolanda, made landfall in the central Philippine islands region.
    Considered one of the most powerful typhoons ever to make landfall in recorded history, the 600 km-diameter
    typhoon Haiyan crossed the Philippine archipelago, bringing widespread devastation in its path. Strong winds,
    heavy rainfall, and storm surges caused extreme loss of lives and widespread damage to property.
