She said Makati is the third in the world, and the first in the Philippines to have formulated a Pre-Disaster Recovery Plan.“Our city is susceptible to disasters caused by geological, meteorological, and technological hazards. We are committed to investing in resilience – be it in terms of knowledge, human resources, and physical assets, to mitigate the damage to lives and properties as well as the local economy,” Mayor Binay said.
The Makati Pre-Disaster Recovery Plan contains the city’s policies and activities from pre-disaster to post-disaster phases, including vital mechanisms and systems to be pre-positioned for smoother and faster recovery. “The goal is to minimize casualties and manage damage that can be caused by massive flooding and a strong quake generated by the West Valley Fault,” she said.
Mayor Binay said that the city has ensured that its plans and strategies are aligned with those at the national and regional levels, with the goal of harmonizing approaches among the four thematic areas: prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery and rehabilitation.
