A total of 27 new facilitators completed on Friday the
Training of Trainers on Participatory Capacity and Vulnerability Assessment
(PCVA) of water resources and hazard mapping in the city organized by the
United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Be Secure project.
The activity is in cooperation with the Community Based
Adaptation and Resilience against Disasters (CBARAD) II, a joint project of the
Iloilo City Government, City of Yokohama
“We are involving as many stakeholders as we can from
various sectors who are always willing to help in our quest for a more
prepared, inclusive and disaster resilient Ilonggo community,” Mayor Jed
Patrick E. Mabilog said.
The participants came from the local government unit,
barangays, academe, senior citizens’ group, organization of persons with
disabilities (PWDs), and the police force.
“After the three-day training, the participants are expected
to train a new set of facilitators and to conduct risk assessment in more
barangays particularly the identified priority barangays of the CBARAD II
project,” said Donna Magno, CBARAD project coordinator.
The training held last week involved 10 facilitator-trainees
who were trained by CBARAD on PCVA for community risk assessment in November.
She also cited the participants from city schools who
already signified to help in the hazard mapping of the city following the
conference between the academe and City Government on disaster risk reduction
and climate change adaptation last month.
As part of the training, fieldwork was done in Tabuc Suba in
La Paz
The community participants were composed of PWDs, elderly,
youth and barangay officials.
Magno said draft risk assessment analyses were developed in
the two barangays, with flood and drought as common problem for both.
Twenty five barangays under CBARAD II will be prioritized to
undergo hazard mapping and risk assessment.
The results of the assessment will be used to enhance the
city’s local climate change action plan, disaster risk reduction and management
plan and comprehensive land use plan.
