DISASTERS in the Philippines present a complex and interconnected challenge. Each solution reveals new difficulties, and there is no single answer to the country's multifaceted risks. Constant exposure to natural hazards has shaped the vulnerabilities, resilience, and expertise of the Philippines.
DISASTERS in the Philippines present a complex and interconnected challenge. Each solution reveals new difficulties, and there is no single answer to the country's multifaceted risks. Constant exposure to natural hazards has shaped the vulnerabilities, resilience, and expertise of the Philippines. This was shared by the Department of Science and Technology Secretary Renato Solidum Jr. at the World Resilient Recovery Conference held on June 03, 2025, at Geneva , Switzerland.
He also said that another lesson the government and DOST have realized is that recovery is not just about restoring what was lost, but also serves as a strategic entry point for prevention and mitigation — an opportunity to build back better. 'The Philippines has learned that relocating affected communities alone is often insufficient, as successful recovery requires integrating livelihood opportunities and comprehensive social support systems,' said Solidum.
