Resiliency of Filipinos

     

     Philippines is one of the countries that are prone to different disasters. Filipinos have to adapt themselves and recover from disasters and hazards. Filipinos are capable of organizing themselves to learn from past disasters and reduce the risks to future ones.


     To reduce the impacts of disasters, Filipinos should improve the resilience of the Philippines. Enhanced resilience allows better plans to reduce the effects and losses. Filipinos are know for their resiliency since Philippines is hit by more than 20 typhoons annually. Philippines is aware of the risks and understand its vulnerabilities. They learned from the past, they adapt to maker the changes to withstand the disasters to come.


     Filipinos can overcome and recover from disasters. Filipinos learn from past disasters to strengthen future response and recovery efforts. Filipinos should actively participate more for any disaster risk reduction plans to attain better security because not only properties will be destroyed but also lives if people will neglect disaster preparedness.
