HELP US MAP FLOODING & INFRASTRUCTURE IN OUR COMMUNITY!

We have just lauched Kapwa Help a platform that consolidates ground-level information to help government and community planners make better decisions on flood and waterway management.

But we can't do it alone. We need YOU.

📅 Data gathering period: August – November 2026

We're collecting submissions across this period to track how our waterways behave and change across different seasons — from typhoon season to drier months. This helps us build a more accurate, season-by-season picture, not just a single snapshot in time.

📸 What to submit:
1️⃣ Photos/videos — flooded areas, damaged infrastructure, flooded AND non-flooded areas, mountain run-off and waterways(we need the full picture!)
2️⃣ Date and time
3️⃣ GPS location or Google Maps link
4️⃣ Your honest observation and details about the photo

How to submit:
📩 Email: [email protected]
💬 Comment below, or send us a private message

🔒 Your submission will be kept anonymous.

Every submission becomes part of a growing, independent record, reviewed by volunteer scientists, engineers, and planners, to build comprehensive, third-party (NGO) recommendations for government planning sessions.

This is how we hold flood control spending accountable and make sure our infrastructure actually protects us.

Let's be part of the solution. Let's know where our taxes go. 🇵🇭

On the anniversary of Typhoon Emong, we share these photos in remembrance of the pain, sacrifice, and recovery we faced together. They show not only the damage left behind, but also the courage, compassion, and unity of those who never stopped helping.

We sincerely thank our volunteers, partners, and everyone who gave their time and energy for others.

One of the fruits of this bayanihan is kapwahelp.org born from a collective desire to make disaster relief coordination easier and help reach those in need faster after Typhoon Emong.

We continue to improve these efforts because we believe that as typhoon season grows stronger, so must our unity. Thank you to every volunteer and partner who became part of La Union’s recovery. Your compassion is proof that even in the midst of a storm, bayanihan lives on, and through collective action, there is hope and healing.

La Union Typhoon Relief Aid Update: From Emong to Uwan

As we close the final phase of our Typhoon Emong Relief Operations, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who made this collective effort possible.

Together, we reached 3,253 households — supporting over 13,100 individuals, 7 schools and daycare centers, 3 marine protected areas and fisherfolk associations, and vulnerable community members including those needing medical aid, seniors, PWDs, children, infants, and even stray animals across 37 barangays in San Juan, San Fernando, Balaoan, Bacnotan, and Bauang. 🙏

All remaining goods and ₱130,223.25 in funds will now be allocated to Typhoon Uwan Relief Aid, strengthening our anticipatory safety measures and community response efforts.

Please save the emergency hotlines for quick assistance and stay tuned for coordination updates.

Together, we continue to care, prepare, and help our communities. 🌊

September 2, 2025

Meet Mang Edwin Wayas, one of our Taboc fisherfolk beneficiaries, as he receives materials to rebuild his damaged boat.

Apart from fishing, Mang Edwin also volunteers as a Bantay Dagat, patrolling the San Juan Marine Protected Area to protect our ocean resources.

Last July 25, Typhoon Emong’s Signal No. 4 winds caused a tree to collapse on his boat, damaging nearly 70% of it.

Thanks to the generosity of our kind donors and partner organizations, Mang Edwin can now start rebuilding—another step forward in our collective effort to support our kapwa in their recovery journey.

🙏💙 Maraming salamat sa inyong walang sawang pagtulong Citizens for LU!
