Banayoyo CDRA (Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment)

The Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment (CDRA) for Banayoyo, Ilocos Sur, is a comprehensive study aimed at identifying, analyzing, and addressing the impacts of climate change and disaster risks within the municipality. This assessment adopts a holistic approach by examining the interplay between natural hazards, community vulnerabilities, and levels of exposure across key sectors. With a primary focus on hazards such as flooding, landslides, and typhoons, the study underscores their significant implications for agriculture, infrastructure, public health, and natural ecosystems.

Key findings of the assessment highlight the urgency of implementing adaptive strategies that address vulnerabilities in high-risk areas, particularly in protecting livelihoods, preserving critical infrastructure, and ensuring public safety. Furthermore, the CDRA advocates for community-based risk reduction programs and robust multi-sectoral collaborations to build local resilience. The outputs of this assessment are designed to serve as a critical resource for local policymakers, planners, and stakeholders in developing informed strategies for disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation.
