 READY TO REBUILD: PHILIPPINE
DISASTER REHABILITATION AND RECOVERY PROGRAMS
The aim of building resiliency is to prepare
communities to resist, absorb, recover, and
transform from the consequences of current and
foreseen hazards and events.
Rehabilitation and recovery plays a very important
role in this preparation as
(i) it can address the longer-term needs and
challenges that makes a community
vulnerable; and
(ii) it provides the opportunity to increase the
capacity of the society to cope and reduce the
risk of future emergencies and disasters.
