Digital Readiness Strategy for the Philippines
Digital Readiness Strategy for the Philippines
December 6, 2022
This document is the Digital Readiness Strategy (DRS) to advance the use of digital resources and technologies for disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) and climate change adaptation (CCA) in the Philippines. The DRS draws from the findings of the Data Governance Study (DGS) organized into two components: first is to measure the institutional capacity of the Prevention and Mitigation (P&M) member agencies using the Digital Disaster Risk Reduction Maturity Model (DDRRMM), and second is to understand or “paint the picture” of the current digital DRRM-CCA landscape in the Philippines by characterizing the flow of data and identifying potential gaps and needs towards implementing data-driven decision-making. The DRS and its corresponding actions are intended to contribute to achieving the national DRRM vision - safer, adaptive, disaster-resilient Filipino communities toward sustainable development, outlined in the NDRRMP 2020-2030.
