🌏🌱 World Environment Day 2026 🌱🌏

Today, we celebrate World Environment Day and recognize that healthy ecosystems are essential to building resilient communities. From forests and watersheds to coastal and marine environments, nature plays a critical role in reducing disaster risks, supporting livelihoods, and helping communities adapt to climate change. 🌳🌊

At DRREALL, we believe that resilience and environmental stewardship go hand in hand. As we continue to strengthen local capacities for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation, let us also reaffirm our shared responsibility to protect the environment for safer communities today and a more sustainable future for generations to come. 💚🤝🌏

Step inside the Luzon Cluster LGU Resilience Readiness Monitoring Framework (LRRMF) and Disaster Preparedness Audit (DPA) Training for LGUs, held on May 26 at B Hotel, Quezon City. 🙌

Through interactive discussions, hands-on exercises, and peer learning, participants explored the LRRM Framework, the foundation of the Disaster Preparedness Audit (DPA) Portal. This digital platform will enable LGUs to capture and analyze critical DRR-CCA data, helping them measure resilience readiness, identify gaps, and make informed decisions that lead to stronger programs, better investments, and safer communities. 🌱🏛️📊

🎥🌏 Empowering local governments through smarter and more resilient planning.

In this video, 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗿. 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗖. 𝗙𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗼, Housing and Homesite Regulation Officer IV of the Environmental, Land Use Planning and Development Division (ELUPDD), Region 1 - DHSUD, shares her insights from the PlanSmart SHS Harmonized Ecological Profile and Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment (EP-CDRA) for Resilience Training Workshop. 💻📊🌱

For Engr. Fabro, one of the key strengths of the training is how the PlanSmart SHS Platform helps streamline and improve local planning processes through technology and data-driven approaches. By integrating GeoRiskPH-powered tools, hazard information, and automated datasets, LGUs can more efficiently generate planning outputs, access critical risk information, and strengthen the preparation of Ecological Profiles and Climate and Disaster Risk Assessments.

Her insights highlight the importance of moving beyond traditional planning methods and embracing innovative digital tools that support evidence-based decision-making. Through initiatives like PlanSmart SHS, local governments are better equipped to develop climate-responsive, risk-informed, and resilience-oriented plans that help safeguard communities and guide sustainable development. 🏘️✨

Implemented through the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development DHSUD Environmental, Land Use, and Urban Planning and Development Bureau (ELUPDD) with support from DOST-PHIVOLCS and through the DRREALL-TA Project of DILG and Expertise France, the training continues to strengthen local capacities and advance resilience across the country. 🤝🌏
