The effects of hazards such as flooding, landslides and earthquakes, coupled with the changes in our climate has made the Province realize the importance of integrating it in its plans and programs for a sustainable development. Since 9 out of the 23 areas in the Province lie in its coastline areas, a combination of adaptive and mitigating measures should be in place. This includes relocation of coastal communities or retrofitting their settlements; flood control projects such as retarding basins; and rockwall projects. Following a comprehensive emergency response plan will definitely save a lot of time, effort and lives in the barangay.
