Disaster Risk Reduction Plan of Borongan City, Eastern Samar: A Grounded Theory

The world had experienced numerous disasters over the centuries - driving extreme events, human activities interfering with the Earth System, mismanagement of our natural system, the abrupt shift in human settlements and vulnerability are contributing to the increased effects of hazard events. While there are multiple natural disasters recently reported such as earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis, and storm surge, it revealed that, both the mortality and economic loss are trending up. Human activities have caused an impact of disasters that are more destructive. We use to play with nature by being in the dreams of development through building infrastructures and forget about the destruction it will cause to nature. We rescind nature from every way - deforestation, massive earthquake, global warming, volcanic eruptions, floods, landslides ‘til to a serious disaster in which people are left homeless and evidently death. It is expected that there would be massive damages to infrastructure and the loss of lives, it would persist if there aren’t any appropriate measures immediately taken by the government.
