However, restoration and rehabilitation take time.

 The affected municipalities as well as the provincial government of Bohol still need continued support and assistance to cope with the demands of short and long term tasks of restoration and rehabilitation. This is where UNDP assisted the 10 LGUs and the provincial government of Bohol in strengthening their Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils. The following assistance provided are:

120 municipal and Planning officers of the 47 LGUs of Bohol has enhanced capacity on their awareness on geohazard, map appreciation and site investigation;68 technical staff and local chief executives of 32 LGUs had increased understanding on DRRM climate change adaptation and Albay experiences.10 LGUs and the province of Bohol has crafted their LDRRM Plans.One of the major recommendations under pillar on prevention, mitigation and preparedness is the production of Information Education Campaign (IEC) materials for DRR – CCA that will easily understood by the barangay folks. Such move will definitely prepare the Boholano barangay folks in the event of a disaster or easily adapt to climate change impact.
