In celebration of the National Disaster Resilience Month, ARISE-Philippines, through our Priority Area Lead for Investors and Investments – Aboitiz Foundation headed by their President and COO, Ms. Maribeth Marasigan, and in partnership with Resilient.Ph and Asian Institute of Management, will be launching the Resilience Reporting Tool through a form of online webinar-workshop on July 28, 2022, from 9:00am to 12:00pm via Zoom.
The Resilience Reporting webinar is a discussion on mainstreaming organizations’ disclosures of their disaster risk reduction strategies, contributions to the Sendai Framework, and how they can commit to integrating disaster risk reduction and resilience into their business model and practices, leading to risk and resilient-informed investments and resilient organizations.
The webinar is intended for participants who are new to sustainability reporting as well as those who want to advance to resilience reporting. It would be an engaging experience for both groups of participants since the objective is learning based on the sharing of experiences in the field of reporting.
Furthermore, the key objectives of the upcoming webinar are:

Train the beginner participants on the mechanics of preparing a sustainability report;
Discuss the foundation of the Resilience Reporting Prototype and its potential to mainstream disaster risk resilience;
Gather feedback and questions with regard to the prototype;
Form coalitions with organizations committed to the Sendai Framework in order to improve it.

Resilience Hackathon: Co-creating Solutions for Resilience in the Built Environment
2022-04-08 15:00 - 16:30
In the face of increasing and intensifying extreme weather events, we must co-create solutions for resilience in the built environment. Join the Resilience Hackathon, developed by the International Finance Corporation, with support from the Government of the Netherlands and the Australian Government, in partnership with ARISE-Philippines, ANZCham, Australia Alumni Communities Philippines, Australia Global Alumni, DOST Phivolcs, and the AIM Dado Banatao Incubator.
We’re looking for realistic, future-proof, scalable, and replicable solutions (technologies, products, methods, or business concepts) with a strong alignment with the SDGs. Solutions should leverage the Building Resilience Index and GeoRisk PH Platforms and must be project-based in an area devastated by Typhoon Odette. On December 16, 2021, Typhoon Odette hit the Philippines and caused devastation in the provinces of Surigao del Norte and Dinagat Islands in Mindanao, in five provinces of Visayas, and in the island of Palawan in Luzon, causing more than $1Bn in damages across shelters, infrastructure, and agriculture.

2022 Asia Pacific Science and Technology Conference for Disaster Risk Reduction
2022-04-07 09:00 - 2022-04-08 15:00 | via Zoom, Philippines
The 2022 Asia Pacific Science and Technology Conference for Disaster Risk Reduction will be held on 7-8 April 2022, 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM (PHT), via Zoom. This conference is organized by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), Office of Civil Defense (OCD), Department of Science and Technology (DOST), National Resilience Council (NRC), UNDRR Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (UNDRR-ROAP), UNDRR Asia Pacific Science and Technology Advisory Group (AP-STAG), and ARISE-Philippines.
With increasing urbanization, climate change, and other anthropogenic pressures, many urban areas are becoming hotspots of disasters. Adaptive governance for resilience is becoming a “new normal” and the key challenge is how we can apply “science-based adaptive governance” as opposed to “ad-hoc adaptive governance”. This two-day conference will provide great opportunities to further advance the application of science and technology in disaster risk reduction at global, regional, national, and local levels.
