Philippine Preparedness Partnership

02/09/2026

Disaster resilience is a multidimensional challenge, and it calls for interconnected solutions.

The Philippine Preparedness Partnership (PhilPrep) brings together government through the Civil Defense PH, civil society through the Center for Disaster Preparedness, the private sector through the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation, and academe through the UP Resilience Institute in a quadripartite partnership grounded in collaboration, trust, and shared responsibility.

At the heart of this partnership is the belief that communities must be at the center. They are the first to experience disasters, hold unique knowledge of local risks, and understand which solutions work in their own context.

Through locally-led approaches, PhilPrep seeks to strengthen resilience by bringing diverse perspectives together, redistributing power through trust, and making communities genuine partners in planning and decision-making.

Localization is the foundation of lasting resilience.

The PhilPrep Lokalisasyon Summit convened local leaders from the government, the private sector, civil society, and academia to advance the conversation on localization and strengthen partnerships for disaster resilience.

The summit highlighted how empowering local governments and communities leads to more effective, inclusive, and sustainable disaster risk reduction. Participants also gained insights from Project Talagháy, PhilPrep's flagship localization initiative, which demonstrates how locally led action, science-based risk information, and innovative technologies can come together to strengthen community preparedness and resilience.

As disasters become more frequent and complex, investing in local leadership and fostering cross-sector collaboration remain essential to building safer and more resilient communities.

Together, we continue to champion localization because resilience is strongest when it begins with the people and communities at the heart of it.

March 11, 2026 – The Philippine Preparedness Partnership (PhilPrep) and Tarlac State University (TSU) presented Project Talagháy’s river study and survey results to the Local Government of Tarlac at the Tarlac City Mayor’s Office to co‑create and implement painted river level markers along the Tarlac River. These markers will serve as a visible reference for early warning protocols for flood hazards in Tarlac City.

Tarlac State University, a key PhilPrep partner in implementing Project Talagháy, shared the results of a detailed topographic survey conducted to understand the river profile and determine flood level thresholds for the Tarlac River along Ninoy Aquino Bridge. The proposed design for the painted flood markers is based on PAGASA’s manual gauging thresholds of 40%, 60%, and 80%, corresponding to yellow, orange, and red alert levels, respectively, to give communities and decision makers quick visual cues on changing river conditions.
