THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

Flood poses inconvenience to residents, workers and specially students.

Bulacan is a prone area in this type of disaster, Flooding disaster were called
disaster for a reason, the reason being that this event may cause great damage,
inconvenience and even risking the life of our fellow citizens. If the entire
character of the community is at danger, a societal issue that endures requires an
immediate remedy.

The daily life of inhabitants of Hagonoy, the Philippines, is affected by tidal

and fluvial floods. Ground subsidence is the main cause of a worsening trend of
these floods. Excessive uncontrolled groundwater subtraction creates a ground
level decrease up to 5 cm per year. In combination with yearly six to nine typhoons
raging over the country, this leads to unliveable conditions. (Ham, P.H., 2016)

Disaster resilience is the capacity of people, communities, organizations, and

nations to cope with risks, shocks, or pressures and recover from them without
jeopardizing long-term development possibilities. Effective disaster risk
governance, also known as disaster governance or adaptive governance in the
literature, has been proven in studies to be a critical element in achieving
catastrophe resilience. Disaster risk governance is the management and mitigation
of risks associated with disasters and climate change via the coordination of
governmental authorities, civil servants, the media, the commercial sector, and
civil society at local, national, and regional levels.

In order for local communities to actively engage in formulating pertinent

policies, choices, and actions that take into account their socio-ecological
environment, one of the major elements of effective disaster governance calls for
the transfer of power, authority, and capacity building. Thus, it is believed that
community-based leadership, or local leadership, plays a crucial role in the practice
of successful disaster governance and is a necessary component to attain
catastrophe resilience. (Djalante et al)
