Makati City is PH and Southeast Asia's 1st Resilience Hub

Makati City Mayor Abby Binay announced that the city has been proclaimed as the first-ever Resilience Hub in the Philippines and in Southeast Asia by the United Nations Disaster Risk Reduction .

“We thank the UNDRR for granting us the honor and privilege of serving as a Resilience Hub of MCR2030 for the next three years,” Binay said. It said that in order to qualify as a resilience hub, a city must have reached a high level of resilience building commitments, showed sustained mechanism for DRR/resilience investments, and with an expertise and interest in disseminating best practices to other cities joining the MCR2030. The position is renewable every three years.

Its best practices in Disaster Risk Reduction have also been shared in a number of international platforms joined by cities all over the region. In 2020, the city used the Disaster Resilience Scorecard Public Health Addendum in coming up with its DRRM-Health Plan that integrates public health emergencies to mitigate their impact on all sectors.
