 The Philippines, known as the fourth most

disaster-prone country in the world, has been

doubling and tripling its efforts to mitigate
and reduce the impacts of disasters.
 The DILG, as the Vice Chair for Disaster
Preparedness, is one of the government
agencies in the Philippines that advance the
development of advocacy programs which
aims to help and build disaster prepared and
resilient local government units and
communities.
 In 2014, the DILG formulated Operation
L!STO, a national advocacy program in
disaster preparedness.
 Operation L!STO has 3 components:
◦ L!STONG Pamahalaang Lokal (LGUs)
◦ L!STONG Pamayanan (Community)
◦ L!STONG Pamilyang Pilipino (Family)
 In coordination with DSWD, the DILG localizes
the Operation L!STO to the most vulnerable
families, specifically the Pantawid Pamilyang
Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries.
 It aims to integrate Operation L!STO to the
Family Development Session so that the 4Ps
beneficiaries will be capacitated and can be a
L!STONG Pamilyang Pilipino.
 The program aims to strengthen community-
based disaster risk reduction to the most
vulnerable communities and households in
the Philippines, particularly the 4Ps
beneficiaries
 Specifically, it aims to:
• Support the CCT Program of the DSWD through
tapping DILG personnel or representatives as
resource speakers during Family Development
Sessions;
• Encourage CCT beneficiaries to observe disaster
family preparedness and planning at home;
• Produce Disaster Family Action Plans;
• Encourage CCT families to practice being alert
and ready (L!STO)
