Philippines shifts Handa Pilipinas toward sustained disaster-preparedness support
DOST describes a move from preparedness exhibitions toward sustained capacity-building, with an on-site Technology Clinic matching local needs to scientific support.
The report covers the Luzon leg held 26–28 October in Mabalacat. Local governments, agencies, practitioners, researchers and industry used exhibits and technical sessions to discuss disaster-risk tools.
What changed
An institutional preparedness programme update, not a household stockpiling instruction.
Who this is for
Local governments, disaster-management practitioners and the communities they serve.
Dates & context
The article reports a programme direction and an available clinic, not proof that every community has adopted new technology. Earlier 2024 and 2025 participation figures in the source are historical and are not 2026 results.
