(CLUP Vision and Mission may also be used in this section)

LCCAP VISION:

The Local Disaster Risk Reduction Management of ________ envision to provide a

strong, united and resilient municipality through disaster prevention and mitigation, disaster
preparedness, disaster response and disaster rehabilitation and recovery.

LCCAP MISSION:

The Local Disaster Risk Reduction Management of Jamindan aims to:

1. Reduce vulnerability and exposure in all hazards and increase capacities and
awareness of the communities to reduce their own risk and impact of all hazards,
2. Enhance awareness, knowledge and capacity of stakeholders on disaster preparedness
and response,
3. Decrease the number of preventable casualties and injuries and;
4. Rehabilitate and develop resilient and self-reliant communities affected by disasters.

The projected changes and planned adaptation and mitigation options in the plan will be
manifested from 2019-2030 .

The LCCAP Core Team with the help of the different sectors of the LGU of ______ such
as LDRRMC, DA, DENR, PNP, MPDC, DEPED, DILG and others through the IEC of MGB
was created by virtue of Executive Order No. 2018-001. Consultation was also held with the
____________ Foundation, ______ Development Cooperative and _________ Association. The
team aims to formulate a Local Climate Change Action Plan, identify some adaptation and
mitigation actions about CCA, Disaster Assessment and to create policies and guidelines to make
the citizens of _______ resilient in terms of disasters/hazards. It will help to develop the
mainstreaming of risk and vulnerable areas and analyzing the hazard, exposure,
vulnerability/sensitivity and adaptive capacities of the various exposed elements in our locality.

In alignment with the LGUs CDP and CLUP, the LCCAP Guidebook provided by the
Local Government Academy was utilized. The following steps were undergone:

The following are the members of the LCCAP Core Team:

 The LCCAP aims to find mitigation and adaptation action in every hazards/disasters that
our Municipality is facing today. We need to identify if what kind of disasters or hazards are we
experiencing in our locality its either, geological, climatic, environmental, epidemics, industrial
or others. During our deliberation, the LCCAP _________ identify three (3) hazards/disasters in
our community; flood, landslide and drought.

Flood occurs when surface water coves land that is normally dry or when water
overflows normal confinements. The most widespread of any hazard, flood can arise from
abnormally high precipitation, storm surges from tropical storms, dam bursts, rapid snow melts
or even burst water mains. the majority of flood are harmful to
human settlement and some causes of death. However, floods can
provide benefits without creating disaster and are necessary to
maintain most river ecosystems. Flood replenish soil fertility,
provide water for crop irrigation and fisheries, and contribute
seasonal water supplies to support life in arid lands.

Landslides are major threat

each year to human settlements and
infrastructure. "Landslide" is a general term covering a wide
variety of land forms and processes involving the movement of
earth, rock or debris down slope under the influence of gravity.
Although they may takes place in conjunction widespread than
those hazards and over time cause more property loss than any
geological event.

Drought of all natural hazards, droughts can have the greatest potential impact and effect
the largest number of people. They invariably have a direct and significant impact on flood
production and the over-all economy. Droughts, however,
differ from other natural hazards. Because of their slow
onset, their effects may accumulate overtime and may
linger for many years. Their impacts are less obvious than
for events such as earthquakes or cyclones but may be
spread over a larger geographic area. Because of their
pervasive effects of droughts, assessing their impacts and
planning assistance becomes more difficult than with other
natural hazards.
Section 2. Climate Information and Situational Analysis

This section will present information on “what is currently happening and is projected to
happen” in the municipality of _______________________ given the impacts of climate change.
The summaries and description of the vulnerabilities, risks and opportunities due to climate
change that the LGU is confronted right now will also be provided in this chapter.
Using the CDRA as a tool, the municipality was able to determine the level of risks to
climate-related hazards that may potentially affect the area. It also allows the local government
to better identify, understand, and prioritize areas at risk to natural disasters. This was conducted
through expounding on the exposure, sensitivity/vulnerability, and adaptive capacity indicators;
thus, identifying priority decision areas/sectors and allowing the LGU to make informed
decisions for a more integrated approach to manage risks through spatial based intervention
policies and strategies (HLURB, 2015).

Climate Projections
Discuss the source of the climate projections. A presentation of the CLIRAM for
the province of __________________________ shows the local climate change projections for
the municipality of ____________________ along average temperature, rainfall, and extreme
events.

Table 1. CLIRAM of the LGU

Discuss briefly the implication of knowing the climate projections to your LGU.

i.e. Under a Moderate Emission Scenario (RCP 4.5) for the mid- 21 st century, the projected
seasonal change in total rainfall (in millimeters) will increase for DJF and MAM. During the
rainy season of JJA and SON, the projections present an increase on the upper bound range and
a decrease both for the median and lower bound ranges. These will have impacts on agriculture,
water sufficiency, food security and increased intensity of hazards, such as drought, flooding
and landslide in exposed areas. Under the High Emission Scenario, the municipality will
experience an increase in the rainfall during the rainy season (DJF, JJA and SON).
 Information that can be derived from these patterns of change are presented below:

1. DJF – under both the moderate emission and high emission scenarios, the projected
rainfall amount for the Municipality of Rizal will increase by as much as 55% in the
High Emission scenario. Under the low range though of the High emission scenario,
the projected rainfall amount will decrease by as much as 6.7% from its baseline of
155.2 mm.
2. MAM – under both the high emission and moderate emission scenarios, the projected
rainfall amount for these months will generally increase with the exception of the
lower bound range under the high emission scenario when rainfall will decrease by
6.9% from the baseline of 316.5.
3. JJA – generally, the scenarios present a decreasing amount of rainfall projected for
both the high emission and the moderate emission scenarios. It can decrease to as
much as 20% in the lowr bound range under the moderate emission scenario and
increase by 10.7% in the upper bound range under the high emission scenario.
4. SON – during these months, the projected rainfall points to a decrease of as much as
10.8% in the lower bound range under the high emission scenario and an increase of
as much as 16.6% both in the upper bound range of both high and moderate emission
scenarios.

Inventory of the Climate-Change related Hazard affecting the LGU

Involves gathering and analysing hazard information to better understand the various natural
hazards affecting the locality. Involves an inventory of historical disasters to establish patterns of
hazards in terms of its intensity and magnitude, including the scale of damages to property (i.e.
agriculture, houses, socio-economic support infrastructure and utilities)

Table 2.

Records of Previous Climate-Change Related Hazards

 When hazard maps do not contain other important hazard descriptors, the analysis of
past disaster events provide a better understanding of hazards specifically its pattern of
occurrence, observed magnitude/ intensity, and areas that are often affected.

Hazard Susceptibility Matrix per Ecosystem and per Sector

Based on the initial data gathering of hazard maps, climate change projections and
compilation of disaster data, prepare a hazard inventory matrix in order to describe the
susceptibilities of the municipality/city for each hazard type.
Hazard susceptibility attributed to climate change (i.e. sea-level rise), including past extreme
weather events (drought, typhoons) experienced by the municipality should also be included.
LIMIT TO CLIMATE CHANGE RELATED HAZARD.
IMPACT CHAIN ANALYSIS (include two impact chains, one for the temperature and the other
for rainfall)

To identify the potential impacts and the spatial manifestations of climate change
(combination of hazards on the relevant land use planning sectors that will likely affect
the LGU’s ecosystem and development sectors-social, economic, environment,
infrastructure, land use)

Discussions in the impact chain can be converted and organized into tables for initial cross-
sectoral
discussions.

Sample of Impact Chain per Ecosystem:

CLIMATE-CHANGE RELATED HAZARDS
Discussion of the Climate- Change Hazards to be assessed. Discuss importance of
analysing the hazard as it relates to the development of the LGU. Present the susceptibility maps
of the hazards to be assessed and present other important information that would clarify the
characteristics of the hazard being assessed (you may refer to the previous matrix on the
Characteristics of the hazard affecting the LGU)
Example:
The LGUs focused on the two (2) major climate-induced hazards to subject to the
assessment, to include (a) rain-induced landslide, and (b) flooding.

Due to the municipality’s relatively flat landscape, flood susceptibility of _______ is

generally low to moderate. As seen in the Flood Hazard map (Figure ____), areas with high
susceptibility to flooding are mostly evident along waterways including rivers and irrigation
canals. In the northern portion of the municipality bordering the Municipality of _________, are
areas with steep slopes which are moderately to highly susceptible to landslide hazards, as
illustrated in the map below (Figure 2)

Discuss further please.
