3 PHYSICAL HAZARDS IN THE PHILIPPINES & METRO MANILA Earthquakes Floods Cyclonic Storms Tsunamis Landslides Droughts Forest Fires Volcanoes Epidemics
4 VIDEO: TYPHOON ONDOY
5 TYPHOONS
6 RISK: DEVELOPMENT AND LAND USE Urbanization Coastal real estate development Informal settlements in flood risk areas
7 RISK: INFRASTRUCTURE No sewage system Drainage maintenance

14 TIPPING POINTS FOR AND BARRIERS TO CHANGE AND GOVERNMENT RESPONSE Quantification Reconstruction Foci Rural Production Flood Management Housing Disaster Risk Reduction Local governance Long-term Monitoring Prioritization of Action
15 FRAMEWORK FOR OPPORTUNITY/CHANGE Governmental adaptations to Typhoon Ondoy 2009 Un realized Community based Resilience (Pelling 2011)
16 WINDOWS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR LEARNING RECOGNISING REACHABLE TRANSITIONS Working with Informal settlements Provision of services Movement beyond reconstruction A more holistic discourse on vulnerability Social and community based resilience
17 WINDOWS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR LEARNING COMMUNITY BASED RESILIENCE Community level action supported by wider engagement with urban political and institutional structures. Building up local social capital. Shift away from an overreliance on central government. Power of vulnerable communities to develop strategies and actions to improve their resilience.
18 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What is the role of the government in developing community-based resilience? How are learning opportunities limited or enhanced by the Philippine s (post)colonial context? What are the issues of having international aid be the main driver of disaster resilience?
