  1. Building back better Accounting for disaster preparedness and resilience

  2. 10th • 3rd The Philippines in an era of disasters and changing climates • 5th • most vulnerable country in terms of global sea level rise • most vulnerable to disaster risks and natural hazard • most vulnerable to climate-related disasters for the period 1991-2010 • Source: Climate Change Commission, 2014

  3. warmer • climate change • risks vulnerability • CO2 • climate change • cooler • Hazards & • exposure • polar cap • melting • carbon • cycle • water level rising • rise • cityflooding • Iba na ang panahon

  4. Hydrometeorological • Biological • Geological The Philippines has a significant share of disaster risks owing to climate change.

  9. Disaster damage on the rise • Taken from Arangkada Philippines, 2014

  10. Full protection and right to a balanced ecology • RA7729 (Climate Change Act) • General welfare and right of the people to a balanced ecology • Local Government Code • 81 provinces • 144 cities • 1490 municipalities

  11. RA 10121: Philippine DRRM Act It is the policy of the State to uphold the poeple’s constitutional rights to life and property…addressing the root causes of vulnerabilities to disasters….

  12. Laging handa, 24/7 Prepared at all times

  13. 2. Assess • 4. build Our mandate: keep LGUs ready against disasters • Major River Basins, Multiple Hazards • Disaster preparedness audits, SGLG • Capacities against standards • Norms, practices, gaps • Access to financing • 3. ANALYZE • 1. PROFILE • 5.provide

  14. Exposure Understanding risks • Exposure to natural hazards • Susceptibility • Coping • Adaptation • Likelihood of suffering harm • Capacities to reduce negative consequences • Capacities for long-term strategies for societal change • x • Vulnerability • Risks • Modified from the World Risk Index, taken from the presentation of the Climate Change Commission, 2014

  15. Disaster prevention and mitigation • Disaster preparedness • Disaster response • CCA • Disaster rehabilitation and recovery • Resilience of natural sys. with improved adaptive capacities of communities • Natural resources conserved and protected • Environmental quality Whole-of-government approach • DRRM • Adaptation • Mitigation • “Build back better”

  16. Disaster prevention and mitigation • Disaster response • Disaster rehabilitation and recovery • Resilience of natural sys. with improved adaptive capacities of communities • Natural resources conserved and protected • Environmental quality Whole-of-government approach • Disaster preparedness • Mitigation • DRRM • Important role of accounting • “Build back better” • CCA • Adaptation

  17. Understand requirements for early preparedness and account for disaster preparedness

  18. CREATE • BUILD • EQUIP • INSTITUTIONALIZE LGU’s action flow for early preparedness • structures and systems • policies and plans • competencies • with hardware and supplies • Local structures created: LDRRMC, LDRRMO, Community of Disaster Volunteers, network of local businesses • Comprehensive Land Use Plan updated • Evacuation Center/s designated (by DRRMO, MSWDO/Mun. Engineer) • Others: signs to Evac. Centers; security posts; shelter for animals/livestock; boat garage for coastal areas; evacuation centre for inmates/prisoners

  19. CREATE • BUILD • EQUIP • INSTITUTIONALIZE LGU’s action flow for early preparedness • structures and systems • policies and plans • competencies • with hardware and supplies • Local DRR communication protocol issued • Suspension protocols clear: classes, work, fishing, sea voyage, pre-emptive evacuation, and declaration of state of calamity • Monitoring done: hazard prone areas; risks and flush points maps • ICS designated and BDRRMC established • MOA agreed: with supermarkets, funeral parlours, volunteer groups, transport groups, pharmacies, hospitals, telecom companies, and local construction companies

  20. BUILD • CREATE • EQUIP • INSTITUTIONALIZE LGU’s action flow for early preparedness • structures and systems • policies and plans • competencies • with hardware and supplies • Training on early warning: risk communication, media management, hazard/risk assessment, climate and weather forecast, warning monitoring, infra audit • Training on evacuation and relief: camp management, CBDRRM, infra audit • Training on lifelines: livelihoods, business continuity, RDNA, PDNA • Training on DRRM structures, systems and processes: ICS, LDRRM planning, LCCAP, community-based monitoring system, alliance-building • Training on search and rescue: first aid, flood/swift water search and rescue, sanitary inspection and forensic investigation (for the dead)

  21. CREATE • BUILD • EQUIP • INSTITUTIONALIZE LGU’s action flow for early preparedness • structures and systems • policies and plans • competencies • with hardware and supplies • Supplies, equipment and stockpile for the following activities: • security, sear and rescue, medical, and clearing operations • humanitarian assistance • information and awareness • mobilization of DRRM structures, systems and processes

  22. Account for disaster funds and use your accounting expertise to influence direction of disaster preparedness in the LGU

  23. On the average, a typical province and city spent PhP19M and PhP11M, respectively, for disaster preparedness in 2013 • Expenditure Pattern: 70% component of the DRRM Fund • 52% • 47% • Usually, the fund was used to support the following … • 1/ Source: LGPMS, 2013 Financial Profile • 2/ Average is expressed in median of • 80 provinces, and 117 cities which provided data in the LGPMS • 3/ Data for municipalities still being processed

  24. declared an unsafe area Public Market • BUILD BACK BETTER • for relocation to Barangay 101, New Kawayan, Tacloban City San Jose, Tacloban City

  25. Cost factors: build back better • design specs differ from ‘normal circumstances’ • relocation: from ‘unsafe’ to ‘safe zones’ • market responsiveness: local capacity and cost of business • others: timelines, etc.

  26. AGAP: a call to action • PhP • US$ • Aid • familiarize yourself with requirements and standards of disaster preparedness and adaptation • influence local action through accounting • account for funds, alignment and results

  27. thank you end-of-presentation
