1. How the Barangay manage the risk cause by calamity in relation to disaster risk
management policy?
Answer: Sa barangay sa implementation nato sa risk reduction management adunay
change based sa order sa national government na ang atong preparation is dapat
advance compared sa mga former policy sa atong government nga didto na mo-allocate
sa dako sa gitawag nato nga sa relieve, sa relieve assistance. So, gihimo sa atong
barangay in line with the policy of national government in the implementation of
disaster risk management in the barangay level is to see to it that the barangay follows
the system and procedures implemented by the national democrat, so in response to
calamities take for example, we really implemented portions of our calamities
assistance and risk reduction funds specially in the purchase of affected nato, mao ni
siya, we conducted spot of trainings for this, we even organize different committees just
to see to it that we really prepared in case kung naay mga kalamidad. In fact, the
barangay purchased four rescue boat, naa miy 4 ka baroto in Butuan City, I think in
Barangay Baan Riverside tapos ang isa preparado regarding sa rescue. We also purchase
kaning mga gitawag nato nga mga life jacket for the rescue team, unya we also purchase
flashlights intended in case naay brown-out. These are the immediate assistance nga
among mahimo preparado mi kung naay kalamidad and we also informed and update
kung unsay angay buhaton kung adunay mga kalamidad and the barangay is also
prepared itself in terms of kining mga gamit og kani bitawng mga tao dinhi that weve
assigned in different comittees gikan sa pagsugod sa pag-abot sa transportation in case
of naay ato movacate, ievacuate nato labi na gyud. So this are the partial of the system
for the policy of barangay regarding to disaster risk management.
2. With all this preventive measures present, was their resistance on the part of
constituents to vacate specially when the head of water goes high (flood)?
Answer: Mao gyud ni ang isa sa mga problema specially sa pag vacate sa mga tao kay
base on our experience several times nga moa bot gyud ang mga baha nga medyo taas
na ang water level ang barangay, nasabtan namo ang mga tao nga parang na use na sila,
sad to say in our part dili pud na sya ingon nga among gi welcome or nalipay mi nga
ingon ana ilang response kay to realize nga pag about na gyud sa mga peak level na sa
tubig usahay manawag sila sa amo mga kadlawon na kami pud maglisod napod mi og
rescue considering the limited equipment we have kay de mano raman ang atong mga
gamit parehas anang baroto, dimano, wala pami ka purchase og makina og we really
experience nga usahay ingon ana ang late reaction og late confirmation sa atong mga
tao regarding sa pagpaabot sa ilang gusto nga gusto na sila rescuehon pero wala
nagpasabot nga wala pod mi nag inform og advance sa ilaha. In fact, ang city
government nga mag order sila sa amoa og force evacuation na amo nang gisuroy pero
sad to say ang mga tao dili namo ma convince especially kung naa silay silingan nga dos-
andanas ilang balay so didto ra sila mo balhin sa ilang katapad naa gyud poy mga tao
nga gamay lang pod mo balhin gyud sila kanang maulaw sa ilang silingan. Pero kung
naay silingan nila nga mo offer sa ila so didto rapud sila so mao nay isa sa mga butang
nga makita nato ma observe namo nga naay major resistance sa ilang part, expected na
nga ang uban maghunahuna nga anad na sila ika duha dili nila ma biyaan ilang mga
butang og mao na kasagaran ang among masinati pero naa gyud poy mo evacuate sila in
times nga naa na ang baha.
3. What are the factors/causes/circumstances that may lead to resist the constituents to
vacate the area?
Answer: Siguro ang isa sa akong nakita base sa akong experiences kay medyo dugay-
dugay naman ko dini, murag naa nay gitawag murag tungod sa experience sa mga tao
panahon sa adunay baha murag na immune na sila which is para sa ako dili ni untana
angay nila na buhaton. Ilang pagsabot pero kung ing-ana ang nahitabo, pero kami pud sa
barangay naningkamot mi nga makahimo gid mi og mas dali noh so mao nay usa sa
akong nakita, nga mga factors nga kana bang na used na sila, naanad sila, unya secondly,
kadaghan sa mga balay nila naa nay second floor, gawas gamay nalang tong mga balay
dinhi nga first floor lang noh, so ingon ana tagasagaran na akong naobserbahan og usa
pud na sa butang na nakaimpluwensya nga ngano dili sila muhawa sa ilang balay og
ikatulo dili sila gusto nga muadto didto sa evacuation centers no. 1 problema sa pagkaon
ikaduha alanganin mulihok kay dili ilang lugar way saktong pamutangan nila.
- What are the training / programs initiated by the barangay in times of calamity?
Monthly / annually conducted?
How long is the training being served its purpose?
Answer: kining kuan, kining sa training nako mag lisud man ta mag himo sa monthly
pero naay training na buhaton sa city government ni participate sab ta while naa poy
training nga gi combat dinhi na ang barangay mismo na initiate, naa poy training nga
gi himo dinhi through world vision nga nahimo pud dinhi this year so naa gyud tay
nahimo nga trainings siguro dili ta maka trace back og dili pud ta maka ingon nga
monthly or annually ni mura og as the time needs na arises mao rapud na nga time
nga mag kuan mi usahay nga mag conduct mig training and so kana gyud sya ang
nahitabo.
5. Is there any programs made by the city to effect disaster risk management?
Answer: ako ni admire gyud ko sa city government sa ilang disaster risk management sa
ilang implementation compared sa mga katoigan sab kay nakita nako ang impact ani og
ang monitoring ani nila og ang motivation sab nila sa mga barangay nga official og sa
different barangay like karun kay up to date sila sa mga reporting then kung mag ulan
lang diri ang bagyo ga update dayun sila sa amo regarding aning butanga sa risk
management o sa mga typhoon ba o unsa ba nga earthquake immediate ang ilang
communication so daghan pay gi buhat ang city government. Gi train mi, nag conduct
sila og orientation gawas sa city government mismo nag tap pud sila og mga pulis og
mga army nga mo tabang pud og pag train namu so ok ok daghan kaayo gi himu ang city
government nga kami sa barangay pud nga mga officials sa among barangay risk
reduction management matudloan tungod sa effort sa city government.

far as I know they purchase their own pump boats. I think theyre able to purchase 3
bancas. So, Barangay Baan is not really that dependent to call help from us. But anyway,
all barangays have already their own contingency plan and somehow they have attain
that level of coordination among the barangay council and after that should they need
help from us the city disaster office is always ready to inform them.

no longer waited for the calamities to strike but its more on their doing in for entering
evacuation.

when implemented in the area?
Answer: Because of their properties that they left behind and then second is, its not
easy to stay in evacuation center wherein, there is a small area for you to stay and
theres a lot of people and issues which makes them to feel uncomfortable.

Answer: Well, lately, we packed, we packed an ordinance wherein it sends in the council
in the sanggunian to really there will be a force evacuation.
