“…NOAH"s mission is to undertake disaster science research, development, advance the use of cutting edge technologies and recommend innovative information services in government"s disaster prevention and mitigation efforts. Though the use of science and technology and in partnership with the academe and other stakeholders, the DOST through Program NOAH is taking a multi-disciplinary approach in developing systems, tools, and other technologies that can be implemented by the government to help prevent and mitigate disasters [7]. The speaker discussed and explained the current flood mapping system done by Project Noah.…”

“…In the Philippines, RS and GIS are two main technologies used in the nationwide modelling and mapping of flood hazards (Lagmay, 2012), with the use of LiDAR technology as a major, important component (UP TCAGP, 2015;UP DREAM, 2016). With an average of 3-4 significant floods every year (DPWH 2014; Abon et al 2015), flooding is widely recognized as a serious, expensive, and a recurring concern in the country.…”

ABSTRACT:Flooding is considered to be one of the most destructive among many natural disasters such that understanding floods and assessing the risks associated to it are becoming more important nowadays. In the Philippines, Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) are two main technologies used in the nationwide modelling and mapping of flood hazards. Although the currently available high resolution flood hazard maps have become very valuable, their use for flood preparedness and mitigation can be maximized by enhancing the layers of information these maps portrays. In this paper, we present an approach based on RS, GIS and two-dimensional (2D) flood modelling to generate new flood layers (in addition to the usual flood depths and hazard layers) that are also very useful in flood disaster management such as flood arrival times, flood velocities, flood duration, flood recession times, and the percentage within a given flood event period a particular location is inundated. The availability of these new layers of flood information are crucial for better decision making before, during, and after occurrence of a flood disaster. The generation of these new flood characteristic layers is illustrated using the Cabadbaran River Basin in Mindanao, Philippines as case study area. It is envisioned that these detailed maps can be considered as additional inputs in flood disaster risk reduction and management in the Philippines.

“…In the record, as of July 2017 it also shows that earthquake, typhoons and other man-made or technological disasters occurred in the Philippines. Likewise, in the study of Lagmay, A., et al, (2017) Philippines is situated where storm is common and certainly suffer from different calamities just like of those experienced before. Because of the recent developments and population growth in the hazard prone areas, damages to infrastructure and human losses are expected and will even increase unless proper procedures will be implemented by the government immediately.…”

“…Because of the recent developments and population growth in the hazard prone areas, damages to infrastructure and human losses are expected and will even increase unless proper procedures will be implemented by the government immediately. Government agencies concerned in disaster management plan in the Philippines are seriously creating and developing disaster preparedness and management plan to reduce the impact of the disaster in the country [1]. Reducing vulnerability and enhancing resilience are the agendas priorities of disaster risk reduction (DRR) and change adaptation (CCA) (Begum, R.A., 2014) [2].…”

Abstract-Disaster preparedness and disaster management plan is one of the main concerns of the government to reduce the damage in human lives and economic loss. As a response, the researchers decided to develop a data-driven architectural framework for LGUs in Disaster Preparedness and Management System. The researchers used descriptive research method to obtain data and information in identifying the attributes needed in employing disaster preparedness and management plan for data mining processes. Qualitative research method was also used to develop the architectural framework to be designed from the identified attributes in disaster preparedness and management plan and to test the viability of the designed architectural framework in disaster preparedness and management system. Respondents of this study are the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (MDRRMC), Department of Agriculture (DA), Municipal Engineering Office (MEO), Municipal Social Welfare and Development (MSWD), and the Local Government Units (LGUs). Based on the assessment of the user (highest scale is 5), the developed architectural framework has weighted mean of 4.58 in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and impact which means that this will serve as a significant tool for decision making to help the LGUs to have a concrete, effective and efficient disaster preparedness and management plan based on their needs to reduce vulnerability in human lives, infrastructure and agriculture.Index Terms-Architectural framework, data mining, disaster, disaster management plan, disaster preparedness.
