Project Concept Note

1) Project Title: Construction of Climate-Resilient Resettlement Housing Units

2) Project Objective: increase the adaptive capacities of the exposed and vulnerable communities, relocate the
exposed & vulnerable communities to a low risk hazard area with a climate resilient infrastructure; to build a safe
permanent shelter at Relocation Site for families in high-risk barangays of flooding as identified by the LGU’s
Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment (CDRA).

3) Project Description:
A. Components:
1. Ocular Survey / Site Survey
2. Procurement Phase
3. Site Development
4. Preparation of Detailed Engineering Plans & Designs, Program of Works and Detailed Estimates
5. Implementation & Construction Phase
6. Occupancy Phase
B. Expected Outputs: 250-units Row Houses constructed at safe Relocation Sites
C. Major Activities:
1. Site Survey for a safe relocation Area
2. Site Development
3. Construction of the 250-units in different Relocation Sites
4. Project Monitoring and Evaluation

4) Spatial Coverage: exposed & vulnerable communities at agricultural land that is exposed to flooding.

5) Climate & disaster risk info used to identify and prioritize this proposed investment: Based on CDRA
hazard maps, the area is high-risk to flooding hazard, some portions of the area are only expose to low-risk on
flooding.

6) Responsiveness to CCAM-DRR priorities: during construction phase and implementation phase the following
measures to follow to mitigate the adverse impact and degradation of the environment to with;
1. Avoid cutting of trees and other plants, if it cannot be avoided, target beneficiaries are required to replace by
planting 10 species for every plant uprooted or affected;
2. Proper waste disposal and solid waste management shall at all times be implemented at Relocation Site to
maintain cleanliness & hygiene in the area;
3. Promote water catchment facilities or technology through storm waters gathered by the gutter and down
spouted to the storage tank
4. Promote clean energy usage like solar-powered electrical lightings in the Relocation Site.

7) Climate-resilient design features of this proposed investment:

This project shall be built to withstand strong winds of Public Storm Warning Signal (PSWS) 5, flooring shall be
elevated from the natural ground to avoid flood waters to enter inside. The building should be structurally design
to resist PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale (PEIS) VIII earthquakes and cannot be easily destroyed during
the on-set of such hazard. It should strictly follow plans and specifications as per DPWH standards and National
Building Code of the Philippines.

8) Potential for:
A. Scalability and replication

The LGU’s vision to become model for DRR and CCA in the region is a clear manifestation that all efforts
towards development should be disaster-lensed in a sense that the municipality is lying in a geographically
located multi-hazard based on hazard maps produced by Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB). The LGU
has a policy to attain zero casualty(ies) when hazard strikes anytime anywhere in the locality, and therefore
the administration at the municipal level should allocate funds or sourced-out external funds considering
budget limitation for the construction of 250 climate-resilient Resettlement Housing units enough to
accommodate individuals or communities at-risk or in danger to live in a safer place. This project is replicable
considering that the greater number of families are at-risk during worst-case scenario on disaster and
calamities, as proven in the past experiences, i.e. Guinsaugon Landslides Tragedy in 2006, Massive
Flooding and Bolodbolod Landslides in 2011, etc. and can never be assured of a zero-casualty unless we
can replicate and build more of this kind of project.

B. Sustainability

Municipal Funds are available every Fiscal Year under the MOOE of the Municipal Engineering Office for
the maintenance and repair once the project is completed. Furthermore, the LGU will create a Municipal
Project Monitoring Committee who shall serve as the monitoring committee of all projects in the municipality
funded by the National & Provincial Government, which at least 1/4 of its members of this sub-committee
shall be coming from the civil society representatives accredited and working in the municipality.
 C. Synergy with other investments

The project will lessen the number of the exposed & vulnerable communities when the project will be
completed by 2021 or 2022. Human resources are the greatest assets in fueling the economic engine to
propel well for a vigorous development. Protecting the lives of the people including its economic gains is the
most important investment supposedly all stakeholders and concerned agencies are working together and
put in place at the most priority.

D. Gender and Poverty impact

There are at least 250 households comprising 777 individuals with 396 are men and 381 are women, these
people will be the direct beneficiaries of the project once the project will be completed by 2021 or 2022, a lot
of opportunities will be open-up brought about by additional investments are coming in when they (investors)
learned that the people engaged in their businesses and the location of their businesses are secured and
being given the topmost priority to be safe. During implementation phase, there should be a policy that at
least 20% of the labor force are female.

E. Contribution to province’s development goals

Securing the lives and properties of the people by providing climate-resilient Resettlement Housing Units is
aligned with the Provincial development goal to attain zero-casualty on hazards posing threat to the
communities.

9) Implementation Period:

2021 (most preferred time of the year would be during summertime to avoid the rainy seasons which is
considered as the worst enemy in construction, and after harvest time or post-harvest period has the
chance of our local farmers to participate and engaged in the construction to get extra income.)
