Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure:

    • Industry - Fruit production and cultivation as well as the rubber industry are both in danger due to lack of disaster preparedness.
    • Innovation - Like the majority of its neighbor regions, North Cotabato is in dire need of a strategy for disaster preparedness, and must dwell more on formulating new plans on how to handle and protect its citizens’ livelihood.
    • Infrastructure - Lack of disaster preparedness and flood preventions leads to no areas for mitigation at all, North Cotabato is a storm-prone province, in fact, the entire region is in need of a drastic change for its approach on climate change.

That plus the fact that scientists are already warning us about Climate Change being irreversible, it won’t take long for it to bear into fruition and hurt us in the future. The importance of addressing this issue is for the people and the community in North Cotabato to have a better chance of lessening their collateral damage as well as the disasters that are just waiting to happen. If we do not act now, it might even be too late to salvage what we have left.

    Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure - Even though North Cotabato thrives in the economical aspect, resilient infrastructures to take refuge in should storms arrive should be the focused on, as well as further enhancements and fortifications. Region 12 is no stranger to the annual violent storms that crosses the Philippine Islands, to add, it is one of the high risk areas for the said storms as they directly face the sea wherein storms are formed. 

    North Cotabato is known for its exemplary fruit production as well as the rubber industry, to leave it vulnerable would make way for a domino effect towards agriculture, livelihood, and inability to preserve a huge amount of cultural heritage within the Philippines.

In rural areas, particularly in developing countries, access and reliability of roads is an essential function for social welfare and economic growth.”

    “ Climate change poses a threat in two main ways. Firstly, climate change poses a threat through increased severity and frequency of extreme events which may wash out or severely damage roads”

Among these are institutional weakness (or lack of political will) at different levels of government, especially in the LGUs to which the function of managing municipal waters was devolved. Enforcing agencies lack the resources to effectively enforce existing laws, rules, and regulations.”

    These systems are thought to offer a possible replacement for the traditional earthquake-resistant systems already in use in many high-risk seismic areas. These walls use steel shear walls, which absorb stress and flex but do not completely bow under pressure, to reduce lateral force in buildings. With North Cotabato being prone to Earthquakes and other Natural disasters, it would be beneficial for their community to build infrastructures with Steel Plate Shear Walls as to prevent damages as much as possible. However, based on the lack of studies and articles online, it is unknown to us if engineers in the Philippines uses that kind of Steel in building infrastructures.

    Topographic and bathymetric are two different types of lidar. While bathymetric lidar also measures elevations of the seafloor and riverbeds using water-penetrating green light, topographic lidar typically maps the land using a near-infrared laser. Scientists and mapping professionals may analyze both natural and artificial surroundings with accuracy, precision, and flexibility thanks to lidar equipment. This is already used in the Philippines and with this technology, it would help with locating landslides as well as its history. The downside of using Lidar, is that it’s an expensive investment that not all governments can afford.
