Background

Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jesse Robredo and Albay Governor Joey Salceda will lead the first regional summit on disaster preparedness in Western Visayas.

The summit seeks to develop a culture of preparedness among local government officials and the public for them to be able to respond more effectively and mitigate the adverse effects of disasters.

Theme: 2012 Tapatan on disaster preparedness

The Tapatan will build on the success of last year’s series of summits focused on the Full Disclosure Policy (FDP), which requires making public all pertinent financial information about programs and projects.

Summit participants are expected to sign a pledge of commitment for disaster preparedness indicating their firm resolve to carry out their local disaster risk reduction and management plans.
