• Revisit the vision statement and consider vision descriptors on resilience and safety;

•Checklist; Addendum to the CLUP - DRR Mainstreaming Framework • Land use and sector situational

analysis (in CDP) should be reviewed with the inputs from HVRA, workshop outputs on consequence analysis, implications of risk to land use planning and sector planning (e.g. health and sanitation, safety, infrastructure and transport, poverty, housing, hazardous areas, education). A work plan should be developed by CPDO for that purpose;

• Establish emergency management objectives and requirements for space and locational requirements for staging, emergency routes and evacuation sites (through SSDD and barangays) that should be incorporated in the formulation of the CLUP

• Further review and modify the goals, objectives, development strategies, policies in view of the risk information and interpretations;

• Consider LUM methods identified in DRRMP in the development of alternative spatial strategies, and preferred spatial strategies for identified growth and non-growth areas, corridors, special urban development sites and open spaces to reduce and manage risks in these areas (Focus of LUM strategies concern open space provisions, improved vehicular and pedestrian access in congested areas, provision of easements and right of ways, siting requirements of new buildings and infrastructures in view of hazards and risks). Review advisory from Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) on occupation of landslide prone areas.

Invite academic institutions, and/ or specialized scientific/technical organizations or NGO’s with expertise in zoning and building code implementation to conduct research on LUM implementation (e.g. a review of current zoning with regard to FAR, building height, density of use and occupancy in areas where intensities of earthquakes and floods are most severe) and to propose scheme and approaches for implementation of building codes, zoning ordinances, and other development control measures. •Workshop Outputs, Guidebooks on Best Practices, and Feasibility Studies

Invite land use planners, scientists, engineers, and other experts from different disciplines and to conduct educational field trips within and outside the country to draw out workable arrangements in implementing the LUM methods.

Agency Indicative Budget Timeline Formulating a

Communications Plan ( IEC) to institutionalize HVRA within QC

and for planners, engineers, owners, land development developers/real estate developers (with focus on hotspot areas)

Formulate a communications plan to institutionalize HVRA within QC and for planners, engineers, owners, and other stakeholders in QC, which covers the following:

• Entry points: permitting process, environmental impact assessment, and the CLUP formulation;

• IEC campaign on how to: (1) advise developers, owners (non-engineered structures, titled), and those affected by hazards and risks; (2) communicate ‘hotspots’ (3) better influence engineers and planners to strictly follow the building code;

• RSLUP awareness-raising to policymakers;

• Internal trainings, workshops, and meetings. Communications Plan (IEC materials); Ordinances strengthening integration in plan formulation and plan implementation/ enforcement Lead: DRRMO, CCC, and PAISO P5,000,000.00 per barangay (P33,000,000 for 66 priority barangays) within 6-12 months

Develop a clear plan and process for stakeholder participation, involvement in IEC for building resiliency. For example: • Make the HVRA and Risk

Atlas information public via the Quezon City website and other means;

• Disseminate the City Risk Profile and Risk Atlas internally and to the external partners; • Ensure that the HVRA

information is internalized and utilized for planning purposes at the city and barangay level; • Use HVRA data for

preparedness focusing on hotspot barangays. •IEC materials, dialogues •Updates on social media •Delivery of copies of Risk Atlas •Workshops/ Seminars for action planning Program for improving QCG capacity and expertise in building and infrastructure construction, project development, permitting, monitoring and evaluation

strategies and PPAs such as building and infrastructure resilience to earthquake and flood DRRMP). The M& E plan should tackle, among others:

> Draft an office order or executive order of the Mayor to formally adopt regular accomplishment reporting as part of the DRRM M & E system for implementation.

•Office Order/ EO

> Ensure that the PPAs identified for the prioritized strategies are packaged into the CDP/LDIP /AIP.

•Checklist > QC Engineering and Building

Officials (DBO) to take special roles on how to improve enforcement of building construction codes and standards, better reporting and documentation, which should be made public.

•Report

> DBO to make recommendations to correct structural and non- structural deficiencies (e.g. a third- party certification for structural and non-structural quality if a building structure is more than ten (10) years old and especially those located in hotspot areas.)
