The DILG–NCR Local Governance Resource Center (LGRC) formally signed the Regional Memorandum Circular establishing the Metro Manila Resilience Hub during the DILG–NCR National Disaster Resilience Month (NDRM) Culmination Program held on July 30, 2026, at Lakeshore Activity Center in the City of Taguig.

The establishment of the Resilience Hub is one of the key milestones of DILG–NCR’s Upscaling Plans for Resilient Urban Governance (UPSURGE) Project, funded through the Australian Government-supported UNDP–SHIELD Programme. The drafting of the policy builds on earlier efforts supported by the Programme, which, in 2024, facilitated a series of roundtable discussions with local DRMM offices, local colleges and universities, regional line agencies, and non-governmental organizations.

Apart from the Resilience Hub policy, DILG–NCR’s Regional Policy Guidelines on the Capacity Development for the Management of the Dead and Missing Persons (MDM) was also signed, further strengthening the LGRC’s role in providing comprehensive MDM capacity development interventions for local government units in the region.

With all these milestones, the DILG–NCR pledges its full support and commitment to knowledge management, multi-stakeholder partnerships, and convergence toward building safer, more adaptive, and resilient urban communities.
