Disaster Risk Management Master Plan (DRMMP) Implementation in Metropolitan Manila E M I Earthquakes and Megacities Initiative Disaster Risk Management Master Plan (DRMMP) implementation in Metropolitan Manila In partnership with MMDA – PHIVOLCS and Quezon, Makati and Marikina Cities Field Trip Report - Summary April 17-22, 2005 Purpose of the Fieldtrip • To initiate discussions with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and other city stakeholders on a consensus draft work plan and the components of a DRMMP for Metro Manila, based on a 10-point framework proposed by the 3cd Team. • To report back to the cities, particularly Makati and Quezon Cities, about the findings from previous work carried out by the 3cd Team, especially on the Disaster Risk Management City Profile and compilation of Sound Practices. • To invite the City of Marikina to become the third case study city as part of the 3cd Program in Metro Manila. • To request and obtain commitments from the 3 cities in Metro Manila and other institutions such as PHIVOLCS and MMDA to review and comment on the DRM city profile and sound practices compiled so far, as well as submit new ones. • To promote the use of e-learning and on-line tools, such as the knowledge base and the map viewer, as useful and efficient risk communication tools. Background Metro Manila, a complex urban area that encompasses a population close to ten million distributed in 13 cities and 4 municipalities, is one of the three pilot cities in Asia where the 3cd Program is currently being implemented. Starting in July 2004, the Earthquake and Megacities Initiative (EMI) in cooperation with the Earthquake Disaster Mitigation Center (EdM) in Kobe, Japan, introduced its Cross-Cutting Capacity Development -3cd- Program, in the cities of Quezon and Makati. In January 2005, EMI and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority signed a cooperative agreement for the implementation of the 3cd Program in the capital region. In August 2004, initial fieldwork and a bi-city workshop were carried out with the participation of delegates from Makati City, Quezon City and MMDA that permitted understanding the current structures and framework for disaster risk management (DRM) in Metro Manila1 and identifyied several relevant DRM sound practices mainly aimed at reducing the impact of flooding and earthquakes. In November 2004, the Pacific Disaster Center, PDC, joined EMI in a collaborative effort to promote shifting the vision from response management to risk management and accelerating the process of implementating a Disaster Risk Management Master Plan (DRMMP) in Metropolitan Manila, by building on the significant work already accomplished by different national and international initiatives in this city. 1EMI-EdM, Metro Manila Philippines, Disaster Risk Management Profile, December 2004 Page 2 Given the previous work done by the Pacific Disaster Center through the multi-hazard urban risk assessment project for Marikina City and its guidelines for implementing a risk reduction strategy2, and the excellent relationship developed by those two organizations, it was suggested to invite Marikina to become part of the case-study cities under the 3cd Program. In this next phase, the 3cd Implementation Team, along with city officials and other interested stakeholders will look in detail at the main issues that have prevented the realization of the recommendations of different projects and will assist the cities and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) in structuring a comprehensive implementation plan that turns existing risk analysis studies into risk management instruments. Resource Group The unique composition of the 3cd Team facilitates the progress of the different activities planned for the city. There is a mixture of skilled local and international professionals with different backgrounds who provide strong leadership and an enhanced vision by combining the local and global perspectives. The active and dedicated participation of the EMI secretariat based in Metro Manila, the local investigator PHIVOLCS represented by its director and his team, members of the Local Working Group who bring in their individual knowledge but also that from their organizations such as MMDA, the Universities and Professional Associations all have assisted during the fieldtrip organization or providing logistics, but most importantly, by guiding the team to better accomplish the objectives. EMI and its partners, the Pacific Disaster Center -PDC- based in Maui, and the Earthquake and Disaster Mitigation Center –EdM- of Kobe, provide partial financial support for the investigative and consultative work, as well as provide guidance for the research and implementation process. Methodology Meetings, structured discussions, power point presentations, interviews and an evaluation questionnaire designed to get feedback from the participants were among the tools used during this field trip; details can be seen on the attached final agenda for the whole week activities. Individual meetings with the cities Each one of the three case-study cities engaged in the 3cd Program, Quezon, Makati and Marikina, has a different geographical setting, varies in size and population and has different characteristics in terms of its Disaster Risk Management Organization and Development. 2 PDC, Multi-hazard Urban Risk Assessment for Marikina City and guidelines for implementing multi-hazard risk reduction strategies, December 2004 Page 3 The following chart shows some of the most relevant characteristics of each one of these cities.

Holding individual city meetings or workshops is an approach that helps the 3cd team keep track of particular activities in the cities, promote documentation and exchange of sound practices and other inter-city cooperation instruments, achieve a closer contact with city officials, facilitate one-on-one discussions and address specific needs of the city. At the same time, the team looks for effective means to integrate those lessons in the megacity context of Metropolitan Manila. Therefore, a 1/2 session with the senior staff of both Quezon and Makati was hosted by each one of these cities on Tuesday, April 19 and Friday, April 22, respectively. One key objective was to report on the major findings from the August 2004 bi-city workshop held in Quezon and the current state of sound practice collection in Metro Manila and the other EMI cities engaged in the 3cd Program. On Monday, April 18, Marikina City was visited and invited to join the program, and at the same time city officials made a general presentation related to specific actions implemented in relationship to disaster risk management. Finally, the usefulness of the knowledge base and a map viewer for Metro Manila was also introduced in the discussion. Page 4 The approach for the implementation of a comprehensive DRMMP and its expected process was also described in these meetings in order to get the participants’ reactions to this initiative. In each one of the cities, city officials received the 3cd Team and the mayors of the cities briefly joined the workshops as to show of their support to the project. Joint Workshop with MMDA and other Stakeholders On Wednesday, April 20 and Thursday, April 21, the authorities and staff of MMDA received the 3cd team, while representatives of the three above-mentioned cities, the Office of Civil Defense (OCD), PHIVOLCS and Professional Associations also participated in this meeting, which included 42 attendees. Concepts such as the mainstreaming model and the Disaster Risk Management Master Plan (DRMMP) tool were explained and discussed with the participants, along with a suggested 10-point framework prepared by the program director, Ms. Shirley Mattingly, for the purpose of this field trip. See attachments for details. Mainstreaming Model: Disaster reduction actions can actually take place with the involvement of all stakeholders if mitigation and preparedness are regularly included on the operations and functions carried out by the cities and municipalities. DRMMP: a tool to enable local governments to establish a process and to systematically and systemically implement a comprehensive Disaster Risk Management Agenda. 10-Point Framework: 3cd Team proposed a collective review of some of the key actions suggested by previous studies, particularly MMEIRS and its experience from other cities. Participants at this meeting were welcome to endorse, dismiss or change them, incorporating what,

    Formulation of an Integrated River Basin Management and Development Master Plan for Marikina River Basin VOLUME 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 INTRODUCTION The Philippines, through RBCO-DENR had defined 20 major river basins spread all over the country. These basins are defined as major because of their importance, serving as lifeblood and driver of the economy of communities inside and outside the basins. One of these river basins is the Marikina River Basin (Figure 1). Figure 1 Marikina River Basin Map 1 | P a g e Formulation of an Integrated River Basin Management and Development Master Plan for Marikina River Basin VOLUME 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Marikina River Basin is currently not in its best of condition. Just like other river basins of the Philippines, MRB is faced with problems. These include: a) rapid urban development and rapid increase in population and the consequent excessive and indiscriminate discharge of pollutants and wastes which are; b) Improper land use management and increase in conflicts over land uses and allocation; c) Rapidly depleting water resources and consequent conflicts over water use and allocation; and e) lack of capacity and resources of stakeholders and responsible organizations to pursue appropriate developmental solutions. The consequence of the confluence of the above problems is the decline in the ability of the river basin to provide the goods and services it should ideally provide if it were in desirable state or condition. This is further specifically manifested in its lack of ability to provide the service of preventing or reducing floods in the lower catchments of the basin. There is rising trend in occurrence of floods, water pollution and water induced disasters within and in the lower catchments of the basin.

  • Makati City Is Getting Ready!
    www.unisdr.org/campaign Making Cities Resilient: My City is Getting Ready! World Disaster Reduction Campaign 2010-2011 Makati City is getting ready! Makati City, National Capital Region (Metro-Manila), Philippines Population: 510,383 Type of Hazard(s): Typhoons, Earthquakes, Floods For the past years, Makati is among the cities in NCR affected by several hydrometeorological disasters such as Typhoon Milenyo (Xangsane) in 2006, Typhoon Egay (Sepat) in 2007, Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) in 2009, and Typhoon Pepeng (Parma) also in 2009. There are two physical characteristics of the City that pose danger to its present and future development. A part of the Valley Fault System, a potential generator of a large magnitude of earthquake in NCR is located at the eastern part of Makati. Six (6) barangays (communities) were identified as high risk areas. Second, the western portion of the City is composed of former tidal flats where seven (7) barangays are flood-prone. Disaster Risk Reduction activities Essential 1: Put in place Organisation and coordination The City Government established and institutionalised the Makati City Disaster Coordinating Council (MCDCC) as a specialised task group for the coordination of disaster reduction policies and strategies between the national, regional levels and the city level. MCDCC also serves as a policy decision-making body for DRR-related activities. Essential 2: Assign a budget for DRR As mandated by the Local Government Code of 1991 (RA 7160) the City Government allots 5% of its total annual fund for calamity. From 2010 onwards, the City Government optimises the said fund to be used for disaster preparedness and risk reduction in addition to disaster response and post recovery initiatives.

  • The Ideology of the Dual City: the Modernist Ethic in the Corporate Development of Makati City, Metro Manila
    bs_bs_banner Volume 37.1 January 2013 165–85 International Journal of Urban and Regional Research DOI:10.1111/j.1468-2427.2011.01100.x The Ideology of the Dual City: The Modernist Ethic in the Corporate Development of Makati City, Metro Manila MARCO GARRIDO Abstractijur_1100 165..185 Postcolonial cities are dual cities not just because of global market forces, but also because of ideological currents operating through local real-estate markets — currents inculcated during the colonial period and adapted to the postcolonial one. Following Abidin Kusno, we may speak of the ideological continuity behind globalization in the continuing hold of a modernist ethic, not only on the imagination of planners and builders but on the preferences of elite consumers for exclusive spaces. Most of the scholarly work considering the spatial impact of corporate-led urban development has situated the phenomenon in the ‘global’ era — to the extent that the spatial patterns resulting from such development appear wholly the outcome of contemporary globalization. The case of Makati City belies this periodization. By examining the development of a corporate master-planned new city in the 1950s rather than the 1990s, we can achieve a better appreciation of the influence of an enduring ideology — a modernist ethic — in shaping the duality of Makati. The most obvious thing in some parts of Greater Manila is that the city is Little America, New York, especially so in the new exurbia of Makati where handsome high-rise buildings, supermarkets, apartment-hotels and shopping centers flourish in a setting that could well be Palm Beach or Beverly Hills.
