LEGAZPI CITY, Feb. 6 (PIA) – Executives from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) visited Monday, Feb. 3, Albay’s Climate Change Academy (CCA) to learn how the province has been so resilient through the years that it has become the Philippines’ model for disaster risk reduction and preparedness amidst climate change.
DILG Undersecretary Austere A. Panadero and DILG-Local Government Academy (DILG-LGA) Director Marivel C. Sacendoncillo led the regional and provincial directors and operations officers of the agency in the briefing.
CCA in-house lecturer Eugene Escobar provided the executives in-depth briefing on the programs and strategies of Albay’s Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) for replication in their respective localities.
Escobar stressed Albay’s best practices and strategies in risk mapping (comprehensive land use plan), relocation sites, geostrategic and engineering interventions, early warning systems, social preparation or community-based warning and evacuation planning, preemptive evacuation as well as communications planning with the media and the public.
CCA is the sole institution in the Philippines that provide that pursues comprehensive and strategic approach and programs on CCA-DRR
The Academy is the brainchild of Governor Joey Sarte Salceda, the “Green Economist” who strengthened Albay’s “Zero Casualty” approach to disaster risk management into one that is a global model for climate change resiliency. (MAL-PIO PGAlbay/PIA5)
