Understanding and Addressing the New Normal - The Philippine Experience

Transcription

1 2015/EPWG/SDMOF/003 Agenda: 5.3 Understanding and Addressing the New Normal - The Philippine Experience Submitted by: Philippines 9 th Senior Disaster Management Officials Forum Iloilo, Philippines September 2015

2 Understanding and Addressing the New Normal The Philippine Experience HON. MARIO G. MONTEJO Secretary, Department of Science and Technology

3 How can we give our people earlier warnings when threatened by floods? How will we be impacted by climate change, and how can we prepare our farmers, our industries, our people for the eventuality?

4 Climate Change related S & T Initiatives

5 Climate change is the greatest challenge this generation is facing.

6 Climate change will cause incremental changes to our planet that could have long-term impacts

7 Climate change will affect human health through: Heat Stress Heart and Lung Diseases Increased pollen Vector-based & waterborne diseases

8 Our forest and farms, flora and fauna, crops and livestock, as well as our biodiversity will be affected by climate change

9 Climate Change certainly affects everything in our biosphere, and there is probably no greater common factor than our planet s water.

11 According to the Global Climate Risk Index, the Philippines has been ranked 1st in the list of most affected countries.

15 DOST S response to President Aquino s directive to put in place a responsive disaster prevention and mitigation program. It is mandated by the government to: 1. Develop an integrated flood early warning -6hr flood warning for communities along 18 major river systems 2. Enhance geo-hazard maps 3. Produce storm surge vulnerability maps

16 DOST is Vice-Chair for Prevention and Mitigation at NDRRMC. As Vice-Chair, we promote a science-based, scenariodriven DRRM approach that harnesses the latest knowledge and technological innovations in disaster science.

17 A science policy to support a DRR strategy that requires hazard specific, area-focused and timebound information. use of advanced disaster science tools multidisciplinary assessment of hazards through collaboration Open data Technology self-reliance developing appropriate technology that enable prevention & mitigation of disasters by LGUs, planners, policy makers, communities, individuals, families

18 Department of Science and Technology With a strategy on achieving technological self reliance in DRRM, the DOST started building capacity in producing highresolution multi-hazard maps and flood hazard models using data from LIDAR technology and increased installation of locally-developed sensors. We focused our science on the factors that kill.

31 Marikina City was hit by 3 extreme weather events in a 2-year period. But unlike in 2009, no casualties were recorded as residents were given advance warning and were evacuated.

32 Super typhoon Bopha hit Mindanao (2012) and caused the overflow of Cagayan de Oro River to levels comparable to Typhoon Sendong (Washi, 2011)). Unlike Typhoon Washi, no casualties were reported for Super Typhoon Bopha in Cagayn de Oro.
