Integrated Action Plan for Enhancing Community Resilience to Typhoon, Flooding, and Dengue in Barangay Santo Cristo and Barangay Banay-banay II, San Jose, Batangas

This study was designed as an action plan to strengthen disaster resilience in Barangay Santo Cristo and Barangay Banay-banay II in the Municipality of San Jose, Batangas. The plan addresses recurring hazards such as typhoons, flooding, and dengue outbreaks, which have consistently affected the safety, health, and livelihoods of residents. These hazards are aggravated by climate change, environmental conditions, and gaps in preparedness and institutional capacity at the barangay level. While San Jose has existing disaster risk reduction and management mechanisms, recurring disaster impacts reveal the need for more localized, integrated, and community-based strategies. The action plan adopts the framework of Republic Act 10121 and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, emphasizing prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response, and rehabilitation and recovery. It highlights the importance of coordination among local government units, frontline responders, and community members, while integrating public health considerations, particularly dengue prevention, into disaster management planning. This summary presents the rationale, situational analysis, strategic goals, programs, projects, and activities, as well as monitoring and evaluation mechanisms that guide the implementation of the proposed interventions.
