Cordillera Landslide Knowledge Management Center

The Cordillera Landslide Knowledge Management Center Project Team is thrilled to be part of the 2023 Regional Science, Technology and Innovation Week (2023 RSTW) currently being held in Bangued, Abra!

We will be presenting the LKMC website, which is part of the larger project on the "ESTABLISHMENT OF A LANDSLIDE KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT CENTER FOR CAR" jointly undertaken by the Department of Science and Technology - CAR (DOST - CAR) and the Cordillera Studies Center UP Baguio. The website aims to be a useful resource to researchers, scientists and community members alike, and responds to one of the project's objectives to "provide an accessible, reliable and centralized mechanism of data sharing and exchange that is useful for local government planning and decision making as well as local community awareness on landslide preparedness and mitigation."

See you all there!

In observance of the National Disaster Resilience Month (NDRM), the Landslide Knowledge Management Center project will be presented at the Cordillera Resilience Summit organized by the Office of the Civil Defense on July 12, 2023, at Newtown Convention Center.

With the theme “BIDAng Pilipino: Building a Stronger Filipino Well-being towards Disaster Resilience” other DRRM-related projects will also be presented.

Recognizing the significance of these collaborative efforts, the event plays a pivotal role in enhancing the region's preparedness and response to disasters.

Through an active engagement in this annual event, stakeholders have an opportunity to contribute to the overall disaster resilience strategy of the region. Their involvement will help shape and reinforce government programs, ensuring they are aligned with the needs and aspirations of the community.

During FPIC consultations on the 23rd and 24th of March 2023, the Indigenous People Mandatory Representatives and selected Barangay Officials of the municipalities of Tadian and Bauko, Mountain Province gave their consent to the research component, Indigenous Knowledge on Landslide Management, for the Establishment of a Landslide Knowledge Management Center (LKMC-CAR) project.

The consultation in Tadian was held at Subaba National High School Multi-Purpose Hall, while the consultation in Bauko was held at the MDRRM Office.

Both activities were facilitated by Ms. Jovita Reyes, head of the NCIP Bauko Community Service Center, and her team.

The following activities were undertaken under NCIP A.O. 1 series of 2012:
a. Conference and disclosure
b. Community decision-making
c. MOA review, preparation, and signing.

Further, the participants’ enthusiasm to share their knowledge, observations, and experiences about indigenous practices on soil stabilization led to an initial Focus Group Discussion.

Going forward, data-gathering activities will be conducted in barangays Bantey and Batayan in Tadian and barangays Bila and Banao in Bauko.
