DAVAO CITY—A Japanese government water hazard agency has worked out with the Department of Science and Technology to improve flood management and prediction here, with Japan asking the Philippine side to install the needed data on the equipment installed in the main river system that flows near downtown.
The OSS is equipped with data and information on climate change impact assessment, real-time flood monitoring and forecasting and inundation prediction models to strengthen science-policy interaction and increase resilience against water-related disasters. The DOST-Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration committed to share real-time data available with ICHARM Japan. The data includes water level, rainfall, temperature, and other meteorological data monitored by weather instrumentations installed along the Davao River Basin.
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources XI also affirmed its commitment to the project, citing the importance of effective and coordinated climate action toward a resilient future.
