Filipino Resilience during Disaster


    
     Related imagePhilippines is the fourth most at-risk country in the world in terms of climate-related natural disasters. Already it is estimated that multi-hazard average annual loss for the Philippines is US$7.893 million, which is equivalent to 69 per cent of social expenditure in the country. Many disaster have passed but having the Filipino Spirit we still manage to laugh , smile and be happy.  The definition of resilience is also taken from UNISDR terminology to mean “the ability of a system, community or society exposed to hazards to resist, absorb, accommodate to and recover from the effects of a hazard in a timely and efficient manner, including through the preservation and restoration of its essential basic structures and functions”. 



          Like resilience, ‘community’ is a popular term that is still loosely defined in the literature. A group of people living in the same place or sharing similar characteristics may contain numerous internal conflicts and divisions and may not act as a cohesive entity during a disaster, despite the connotations the term ‘community’ conjures.9 Nevertheless, measuring resilience at the community level is advantageous. Communities have a unique understanding of the factors that contribute to their ability to resist, absorb and recover from disturbances as well as a direct understanding of the risks that they face. The social norms, social capital and social networks in which individuals are embedded will determine disaster behavior and the outcomes of a disaster. Preparedness plans developed internally by communities have been shown to be better than those developed externally by consultants.In the event of a disaster, neighbors and local peers are inevitably the first responders. Communities are therefore the most effective locus of disaster preparedness activities.
          We must rebuild communities with the confidence that we have  . Hand and hand we help each other to rise , stand up and move on to what is already done. Helping each other to support and get back and be stronger to will happen next. We need a restart and build a new lively hood and return the normality of the people  lives.
