High level forum on strengthening disaster risk insurance in the Philippines

Senator Loren Legarda and the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) are organizing a high level forum on strengthening disaster risk insurance in the Philippines as part of an effective strategy to improve the country's resilience.

"This forum will provide us with fresh insights on the importance of affordable and cost-effective disaster risk financing and insurance programs, which are key components of disaster risk management strategies. The best choice we have is to make our nation disaster-resilient to free us from the exhausting and costly cycle of rebuilding our communities every single time nature unleashes its wrath," said Senator Legarda.
