A TOTAL of 17 deaths have been reported in the wake of rain-induced landslides and flooding across municipalities in Davao Region.

The incidents were triggered by the extensions or the trough of the low-pressure area (LPA) and the surge of the northeast monsoon (Amihan) affecting Eastern Mindanao.

As of February 4, 2024, Davao de Oro recorded 10 casualties, Kapalong, Davao del Norte reported five, and Caraga, Davao Oriental had two.

In Davao de Oro, three victims were buried alive by a major landslide in New Bataan and four in Maragusan, while two individuals drowned in Pantukan, and one casualty was reported in Maco due to flooding.

The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (PDRRMC) of Davao del Norte and the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (MDRRMO) of Kapalong confirmed the recovery of the fifth casualty after an extensive search and rescue operation on February 5.

The Caraga Local Government Unit (LGU-Caraga) reported two deaths in a landslide incident on January 30, 2024.

As of the latest update, nearly 500,000 families in the region have been affected, with around 60,000 families displaced in evacuation centers.

According to the daily weather report from the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (DOST-Pagasa), localized thunderstorms and the Northeast Monsoon are expected to persist in Mindanao over the weekend. DEF

Co-Design for Enhancing Flood Resilience in Davao City, Philippines

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Enhancing flood resilience, including the development of social capacity and early warning systems, in addition to structural measures, is one of the key solutions to mitigating flood damage, which will be more intensified in the future due to climate change. This study was conducted to develop a comprehensive methodology for enhancing flood resilience by improving society-wide disaster literacy under the governance formed through the active participation of all levels of stakeholders in Davao City, Philippines. Specifically, the development of the Online Synthesis System for Sustainability and Resilience, which integrates different disciplines, and the fostering of Facilitators, whose role is to interlink the science community and society, were implemented in a co-designing manner by the collective governance body. The development of basin- and barangay-scale hydrological models realized real-time flood forecasting and climate change impact assessment to identify intensified flood risk under the future climate. Co-designed e-learning workshops were held to foster about thirty Facilitators and help them produce twenty-one risk communication plans and workshop designs for fourteen barangays considering geographic, demographic, economic, and social features that they can utilize for public dissemination related to climate change adaptation to the target audiences in society. This paper presents a practical method to enhance flood resilience, demonstrating that the synthesis of science-based knowledge and human resource development can fill the gaps between the science community and society.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Photos of a legit natural disaster... Davao City, Philippines experienced a significant flood on February 21st and 22nd. It rained starting at about 6pm and did not stop until about 3am. Cyndee, Myself and most of her immediate family were set to arrive by van to take us to the airport to say our final goodbyes before going back to Ireland where Cyndee now works. It was meant to be a short trip to the airport. We left early enough to get to the airport in case we hit any traffic jams or the like. Five hours before our flight was enough to get through any unforeseen circumstances save for a natural disaster. Whelp...

The heavy downpour saturated the land and caused all the the many rivers from Tagum to Davao to crest and overflow. Cyndee and I were planning to go out at 2am to drive to the airport. It wasn't long until we discovered a heavy traffic jam.

4am became 6am and then 7 Cyndee phoned her boss to caution about the potential delay we were facing. As Traffic slowly moved forward and as we got closer, to the cause of the jam, we saw a disaster scene unfolding. hundreds of motorcyclists, vans, cars, taxis all trying to push through rushing water covering the entire roadway.

We passed families on the side of the highway looking confused at their small barangays completely drowned. Authorities were there at the first crested river supervising the risky crossing that everyone was trying to do to get across.

Our van, chock full of Cyndee's family and her brother at the wheel, also risked the crossing of not one river but several miles of wet terrain. I took video and many photos of the scene totally distraught but transfixed on the people and vehicles enduring this kind of natural disaster. I said to Cyndee, because we had had such a euphoric time in the Philippines, " it's like the Philippines doesn't want us to leave, like it's saying no don't go!". I also mentioned " we aren't going to make it to the airport in time".

Even in a flood the good vibes and happy people were in full force. Some Filipinos walking along the sidewalk spotted my camera and posed happily, water up to their calves. They didn't mind too much, because they were already wearing flip-flops and shorts!

I met someone during the traffic jam when I stepped out to chat at a small shop who said that this, the flooding, did not happen and only increased in frequency over say the last 20 years. She blamed it on climate change. The shop keeper on the roadside experience possibly her best sales day ever because suddenly right at 5am about 100 or so motorists were in front of her shop and wanting something to wake up while they waited.

In the end our van made it through fine, because it wasn't worried about getting stuck. We were, however and our whole family was scared and hoping we could risk it and get to the airport in time. We didn't unfortunately and had to reschedule the flight. I will never forget my experience in the Philippines. And a damn natural disaster on the day we have to drive through it was one more notch carved in my psyche and we did it as a family!
Reports showed that no-one was injured or killed in the disaster thankfully!
