2. Even as a journalist, I have
made it my personal crusade to
raise awareness on
disaster resilience.

3. The Climate Change Act
of 2009 (RA 9729)
provides the strategic
framework for a
comprehensive program
on climate change.

4. The Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Act (RA 10121)
puts in place a disaster risk reduction
and management approach that is
comprehensive, integrated, and pro-
active in lessening the socio-economic
and environmental impacts of
disasters, including climate change.

6. The single deadliest disaster in the
world for 2012.

7. Only 0.4%, or $ 13.6 billion of $ 3 trillion, of the
total amount spent on international aid has been
allocated for disaster risk reduction programs.

8. Disaster risk reduction should be top of mind.

11. Let us give our wholehearted commitment
to a safer world, a more resilient human
society for many generations to come.
