Abstract

This study provides a detailed Disaster Risk Management Action Plan aimed at enhancing publicprivate partnership to mitigate human-induced multi-hazards in Barangay Canlubang, Calamba City, Laguna. It looks closely at a situation with a lot at stake, like a labor dispute, that could lead to arson and cause huge chemical fires and pollution of local rivers. Using a mixed-methods research approach, the study finds important gaps in institutions, such as the lack of required information-sharing systems and not enough specialized early warning systems for toxic smoke plumes. The Action Plan suggests four integrated goals for the many parts of the Philippine DRRM system to fix these problems. These goals span everything from prevention and preparation to response and recovery. Some of these tactics are making it an local ordinance for security intelligence sharing, using specialist multi-hazard warning systems, and making formal agreements for mutual aid to get resources. The research ultimately offers an evidence-based framework intended to reconcile operational disparities and ensure both public safety and economic stability at a critical industrial-residential nexus.
