Fight disasters with attitude Comment |More| By Rizel S.
AdlawanRizel S. Adlawan Saturday, November 13, 2010 More Sections A
TOWN official said funding is not an issue in making towns
resilient to disasters. San Francisco Vice Mayor Alfredo Arquillano
said its all about molding the attitude of the constituents. It may
start in educating them on sustainable development, though it is
not easy, he said. He said there are different ways of using
existing resources to prepare for calamities. Arquillano, a former
town mayor, had organized the purok system to guide the community
to work together to attain their basic needs. The system also helps
the town in carrying out its risk reduction program, he said. In a
written statement distributed to mayors during the regular meeting
of the League of Municipalities (LMP), Arquillano said when he was
mayor, he saved on calamity funds because of his early warning
system. The town also installed solar power in remote barangays,
established water impounding dam and rehabilitated mangrove areas,
he said. Arquillano was one of the representatives of the country
to the 4th Association of Southeast Asian Nations Ministerial
Conference for Disaster Risk Reduction in Incheon, Korea. He will
lead the launching of the global campaign in Cebu next month when
town mayors sign up for the 2010-2011 World Disaster Reduction
Campaign. The campaign will carry the theme, Making Cities
Resilient, My City is Getting Ready. The mayors will also commit to
making cities resilient to calamities, like making municipal
development sustainable, uplifting economic conditions of the poor,
providing the public with comfortable evacuation centers and having
risk assessment data for urban development plans and decisions.
Arquillano said they conduct hazard mappings in schools and
barangays. The data will be updated every year. They also monitor
the construction of buildings to see if they are not within the
20-meter easement required by law to be kept clear. We cant stop
towns from growing but we can start planning in a sustainable way,
he said. Published in the Sun.Star Cebu newspaper on November 14,
2010.

(Published in Prevention Web) Philippines: San Francisco, Cebu
lead province-wide campaign for disaster preparedness Date: 1 Dec
2010 Source(s): Municipality of San Francisco Municipality of San
Francisco We can expect more weather disturbances. The only thing
we can do is prepare for them said Vice Mayor Alfredo Arquillano
Jr. of San Francisco, one of four towns in the Camotes Group of
Islands, Cebu, Philippines. He made this statement over Pagtuki,
the radio program of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI),
during a recent episode on the climate change phenomenon.
Arquillano shared his towns comprehensive disaster preparedness
program designed to make his constituents ready for typhoons, heavy
rains, and other calamities. He was joined by Cliff Abraham,
Department of Environment and Natural Resources administrative
officer, and Engr. Oscar Tabada, regional director of the
Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical Astronomical Services
Administration 7.
Slide 105
Some of the disaster risk reduction initiatives of San
Francisco include setting up an early warning system that monitors
the amount of rainfalls in the area through rain gauges and
organization of Camotes Islands Emergency Response team mainly
composed of community-based volunteers. San Francisco is one of the
79 towns and cities in the world that had adopted the United
Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction Making Cities
Resilient Campaign. The town has also been adjudged twice as Grand
Champion and Green Champion of the expanded Green and Wholesome
Environment that Nurtures (EGWEN) Our Cebu Program, a five-year
joint development program of RAFI and the Cebu Provincial
Government. The town also implements a strict solid waste
management program, maintains six marine protected areas and
promotes sustainable green agriculture using organic fertilizer to
ensure the food security of the residents. San Francisco, Cebu,
Philippines is now developing a land use plan that aims to identify
hazardous areas in order to put in systems that will protect the
people and property within and near these areas. San Francisco
recently launched its 'Two Million Trees in Five Years Project'
during the International Day for Disaster Reduction last October
13, 2010, which involves the collection of wildlings; bagging;
planting; growing; cultivating new tree species; and providing the
atmosphere with a fuller ingestion of carbon-dioxide. By tackling
our vulnerability, we can significantly reduce the risk of disaster
and we can build safer and more resilient community-led mitigation
measures, Arquillano said. DRR Convenor Alfredo Arquillano, Jr. had
done a numerous world disaster risk reduction campaign in the
regional, provincial and municipal level for the past two months
through speaking engagement to the various activities conducted by
RAFI and government officials. He emphasized that funding is not an
issue in making towns resilient to disaster, its about moulding the
attitude of the constituents, implementers, chief executives,
policy makers, investors and other stakeholders to have a deeper
understanding of what is sustainable development all about.
Installing the concept that development does not requires huge
amount of money, its a matter of how the local government
maximizing existing resources to a very productive projects and
most importantly is mainstreaming the DRR plan to any development
form in the municipality. He shared also to other municipality the
San Franciscos own way of preparedness by empowering the community
through 'purok system' approach, (a system to guide the community
to work together to attain their basic needs. The system also helps
the town in carrying out its risk reduction program) and combat man
made hazardous activities without jeopardizing the ecosystem and
environment through proper solid waste management on which the town
is being popular province wide of its strong implementation.
In-line with this, the San Francisco, Philippines spearheaded the
Enhancement Training on Solid Waste Management this coming December
9-10 for those municipalities who have difficulties in
implementation. Furthermore, the mayor didnt stop his DRR awareness
raising through print media publications, radio guesting, delivered
DRR speeches on the open forum and group discussions with Cebu
province officials on which he gained support from the president of
the mayors league of Cebu Province by making a resolution on their
support to global campaign and willingness to host the Regional
Campaign for World Disaster Reduction, as one of the preparations
for the future launching in Region 7, Philippines. He believes that
if people are ready and have the right knowledge and information on
disaster preparedness, less damage will be done. Keywords Themes:

Mayors of Camotes Island join disaster-preparedness campaign
Saturday, December 11, 2010 MANILA -- Senator Loren Legarda on
Saturday lauded mayors in the Camotes Islands in Cebu for
committing to a United Nations (UN) program for disaster- resilient
cities. More local government units (LGUs) are seeing the
importance of disaster preparedness and are joining the UN's
campaign on disaster resilience. I laud the mayors of the
municipalities of San Francisco, Poro, Tudela, and Pilar of Camotes
Islands for taking action by joining this movement, she said. The
four municipalities have committed to relocating communities and
key infrastructure that are prone to storms, cleaning up the
coastline, and planting more tress. Under the UN International
Strategy for Disaster Reduction campaign, the mayors will also
strengthen their emergency response teams and conduct community-
based climate change information drives. (Jonathan de
