“Our goal is ‘safe and shared development’, and this means climate-proofing and disaster-proofing the province based on the Hyogo Framework for Action for disaster,” said Governor Salceda on Albay’s disaster risk reduction and zero casualty programme.
“Disaster risk reduction, together with climate change, is actually an investment in development. If climate disasters do not occur, then our program will build local capacity and there are no regrets. If they do occur, we would have zero casualty and less economic damages,” said Jose Sarte Salceda, Albay governor.
