How important is a Community-based Disaster Risk Reduction and Management?

A person's safety during calamities is mainly dependent on their community's disaster preparedness. No matter how ready they are for all possible catastrophic scenarios, every bit of preparation can go down the drain if their community cannot respond effectively to such events.


It is why a community-based disaster risk reduction and management plan (CBDRRMP) is essential. It places the responsibility of being prepared for calamities and other emergencies on the community as a whole, ensuring that organizations, households and individuals can work together in making their community more resilient in the face of disaster. 

CBDRRMP is important, especially for countries highly vulnerable to disasters, such as the Philippines. Situated within the Pacific Ring of Fire and typhoon belt, the Philippines is frequented by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and typhoons respectively. The country ranked 9th in the world in terms of vulnerability to calamities in the 2020 World Risk Index.  

One of the most common events experienced by the Philippines is flooding, which underscores the importance of effective floodwater management. There are many ways that local government units are doing this. Efforts range from structural measures such as sizeable underground drainage systems, floodways, pumping stations, flood warning systems, and urban greening to non-structural measures such as minimizing plastic waste, a primary culprit in urban flooding. 

With the country situated on five active fault lines, Filipinos must also prepare for earthquakes. It is why many buildings are equipped with earthquake-resistance features. Taking earthquake resilience in the country further are the periodic earthquake drills implemented at the national and organizational levels. 

These are good examples of effective CBDRR, where both the authorities and the citizens work together to ensure the safety of life and property in their communities. 

SM City Masinag has a rainwater collection tank that can store 17,681 cubic meters of water. 


As a trusted and responsible developer of integrated properties, SM has always been committed to promoting Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) in its communities, which is evident in many of its malls that employ infrastructure design centered on disaster resilience. SM allocates 10% of its capital expenditures to incorporate disaster-resilient features, of which installing water management design features is one of them.  

Artist's illustration of SM's rainwater collection facility in 22 SM Malls nationwide. 



A few examples of these are SM City Marikina, elevated by several rows of concrete stilts to protect tenants and mall-goers during extreme floods. SM Mall of Asia was built with a storm surge barrier for added protection during storm surges, and several malls employ catchment tanks for recycling rainwater. 

Across the country, there are 22 SM Malls that have rainwater collection tanks under the mall. All these malls combined can catch and store 79,880 cubic meters of rainwater, equivalent to 32 Olympic-sized swimming pools.  

“Wherever SM is, we try to help our communities become resilient to changing weather patterns,” explains Arch. Fides Garcia-Hsu, Vice President of SM Engineering, Design and Development. “Nationwide, we have 22 malls equipped with rainwater catchment facilities that help rain water management to avoid flash floods for surrounding communities.” 

Supporting these are several initiatives focused capacity-building for its stakeholders. It includes workshops & learning sessions on Disaster Risk Resilience Management and regular participation in the quarterly national simultaneous earthquake drills for its employees, and the annual Emergency Preparedness Forum for persons with disabilities and the elderly, two of the most vulnerable sectors of society during disasters. 

Similarly, in line with its multi-stakeholder approach, SM Prime has also continuously built long-term partnerships with organizations that advocate for a disaster-resilient Philippines. It includes collaborations with ARISE-Philippines, the National Resilience Council, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, the Office of Civil Defense, and the Bureau of Fire Protection, to name a few.



ABOUT SM PRIME HOLDINGS 

SM Prime, one of the leading integrated property developers in Southeast Asia, remains committed to its role as a catalyst for economic growth, delivering innovative and sustainable lifestyle cities, thereby enriching the quality of life of millions of people. Sustainability and Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience form part of SM Prime's core business strategies.

4 Museums in Albany You Need to Visit

As one of America’s first colonies, the now-bustling city of Albany, NY, has plenty of history, culture, and art to go around. For those wanting to learn more about the New York capital, it can be hard even knowing where to start. Fortunately, Albany is home to some of the most unique, educational, and downright fun museums in the state.
From a fully functional, freely rideable 1916 carousel to a perfectly preserved WWII destroyer escort ship, even New York natives may be surprised by the gems hiding in their own backyard. Out-of-town visitors, meanwhile, might start looking at Albany houses for sale just so they never have to leave!

Discover Albany Visitors Center

One of the city’s best-kept secrets, don’t let this unassuming little building fool you. The Discover Albany Visitors Center is a must-see experience for anyone seeking a crash-course in all things Albany. The center not only provides a wealth of information on the region’s many tourist destinations, but it also offers a variety of tours for newbies and natives alike. A permanent collection of historic displays chronicle Albany’s Dutch and English past, while rotating exhibitions from local artists provide a glimpse into the city’s present and future.

New York State Museum

For those interested in a more expansive experience, the 100,000-square-foot New York State Museum is home to more than 16 million scientific specimens and one million cultural objects. The museum opened in 1836 and has never stopped adding one-of-a-kind items. On display, you’ll find the nearly 10-foot-tall skeleton of an Ice Age mastodon, life-size dioramas of scenes from the lives of indigenous Iroquois and Mohican tribes, jazz instruments from the Harlem Renaissance, and a touching multimedia tribute to the tragedy of 9/11. Finally, no visit would be complete without a ride on the fourth floor’s century-old full-sized carousel.

USS Slater

Looking for a museum that’s a little… different? How about one that isn’t on land, but on the water! The USS Slater is a World War II-era Cannon-class destroyer escort ship, the last of its kind still afloat in the United States. After a lifetime protecting American naval forces in the Pacific Ocean, the USS Slater was retired from service in 1991 before being restored to its original 1945 configuration and now stands as a National Historic Landmark. Visitors who take the museum’s deck-by-deck guided tour will see the ship exactly as it was during WWII and learn all about its history, mechanics, and function, as well as about the lives of its crew members, many of whom donated their own personal items and gear for display.

Albany Institute of History & Art

Since 1791, the Albany Institute of History & Art, one of the country’s oldest museums, has meticulously compiled and catalogued documents, relics, and works of art from New York’s Upper Hudson River Valley. From paintings, sculptures, and rare books to early maps, architectural plans, and even a pair of Egyptian mummies brought to Albany by steamship in 1909, walking through the institute’s 35,000 plus exhibits is like walking through time itself. Additionally, the museum regularly offers special events, such as hands-on workshops, musical performances, book signings, and more. More than just a collection of artifacts, the institute is a seemingly bottomless resource for those looking to expand their minds.

Teach Kids to Code the fun way with RoGo Coder

When we hear the word CODING, it sounds confusing and something too complex and complicated even for adults who don't have the technical knowledge or background in IT or computers. But he fact is, it's simple and anyone, even kids can learn the basics; when we break it down. The analogy here is to think of coding like the many books inside a library. Some use simple language and have stories that are easily understood. Others have very complex words and stories so hard to read, yet, they are all BOOKS. The more books you read, the better you become at it, and that is the same with coding.


Almost every electronic device we use relies on code, which is why coding is very important and can be introduced to young minds. Coding for kids seems like an impossible endeavor because it's a lot like learning an entirely new language - literally. In this new generation, it is important to get children involved in coding as it aims to be fun, gamified, and rewarding to keep the young mind engaged. 

Coding for kids is not just about the jobs or the coolness, but also the creativity, problem-solving, collaboration, communication, and other skills ripe for improvement as byproducts of kids learning to code.

We should encourage our kids to code because apart from it is a high-demand job, coding also has the following benefits :

- provides a competitive advantage
- knowledge allows students better understand the world
- is fun and satisfying

Budgeting - an Important Financial Skill to Equip Yourself with Amidst this Pandemic

Did you know that in June 2020, over 30 million Americans claim to be unemployed? 

 

A Forbes article in July 2020, reported that the United States already has 51 million people unemployed, and there is no assurance if these numbers will decrease in the coming days as the worldwide financial crisis lingers.

A decade after the most recent recession, the global economy is heading into another one. As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to keep people at home, it also continues to shutter businesses causing financial crisis, not just in the United States but almost anywhere in the world.




Everybody gets hurt during a recession. As output falls, many people lose jobs and those who are seeking jobs find it hard to find one.

This pandemic has exposed how vulnerable our finances are. The fact is, we are not prepared when disaster, calamities, economic collapse and other major problems relating to finances came. This pandemic showed us that it is not enough to have money but we should be financially literate, above all, so we can manage our life well especially in trying times. 

 

 

How financially literate are we?

Many people are now unemployed, others are working reduced hours due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now more than ever, is the time that they need to be financially literate for them to be able to make smart, effective financial decisions. Financial literacy can help people stretch their dollars further and avoid taking on huge amounts of debt.

Being financially literate is a skill set that’s lacking in most people from around the globe. 

 

In the United States, studies found out that 43 million Americans or 17% are struggling with most if not all aspects of their financial lives. There are 135 million or 54% struggling with some aspect of their financial lives and 29% or 73 million people are spending, saving, borrowing and planning.

U.S. is the world's largest economy yet it ranks 14th when it comes to the percentage of adults who are considered financially literate.

This is the picture of financial literacy not just in America but in most parts of the world. As people continue on this uphill battle during this difficult time, now is as good a time as ever for everyone to acquire or increase their financial literacy skills.

 

One of the fundamental pillars on financial literacy is budgeting which simply means balancing your expenses versus your income. It involves a process of creating a plan to spend your money and it allows you to determine in advance whether you will have enough money for the things you need or would like to do. Budgeting is one of the most important skills we need to equip ourselves with everyday in almost everywhere we go and in everything we do. 

But with a lot of people losing their jobs nowadays, how to budget on a limited or reduced income? 

First, consider minimizing your biggest expenses such as housing, food and in some cases insurances. Keep grocery costs low by shopping in bulk, buying seasonal and local produce. Cook simple yet tasty meals that only require a few ingredients. Pay in cash, avoid loans and credit cards so your dollars will last longer.

If you're really finding it hard to budget your daily or weekly finances, you might need an online budget calculator. There's a lot of budget planner online that are very handy and so easy to use. It estimates your biweekly, monthly or even your annual income & convert that to the recommended budgetary guidelines. The budget planner shows how your spending habits compare against others and how the spending habits of people from different income level and age group change dramatically. 

The initially set percentages can be adjusted to suit your needs and budget. The total row shown at the bottom of the calculator, presents how close your percentages are to 100% and how much you might need to change your spending habits to match your current income.

Having a skill in budgeting empowers you as it allows you to manage what you have wisely. With the COVID-19 still putting everyone at risk, millions of people struggle to make ends meet. This is the most challenging time, but having the right financial knowledge will give people the confidence to make informed decisions about their personal finances and create a stable financial life, despite the pandemic.

Keeping your food safe while sitting in the fridge

Between raising your children, going to work, and running errands, regularly checking if the foods inside your fridge are stored properly may be the last thing on your mind at the end of a long day.

Sure, grocery shopping, planning, and cooking meals are hard but neglecting the food sitting inside your fridge is not a good idea, especially since improper food storage can result to germs and viruses to spread, which may lead to foodborne illnesses.

Always check what's inside your ref

Fortunately, it is possible to make your food last longer while preserving the quality of it through different storage techniques. This will help ensure the safety of the food you serve during meals to make sure your family is eating healthy.

Here are three things to follow to keep your food safe while sitting in the fridge:

When in doubt, throw it out. Do not taste a food if you ever find yourself in a situation where you are not sure if it is spoiled or not. Consuming even just a small amount of a contaminated food can cause serious illness to you and your family.

Make sure to throw away any expired food inside your fridge to avoid any harmful bacteria and viruses to grow. Similarly, foods should be thrown out if left for more than four hours in the temperature danger zone, a temperature range of 40 °F and 140 °F where food-borne bacteria grow most rapidly.

Separate raw food from cooked food. Make sure to store raw foods at the bottom of the fridge using sealed containers to avoid any spillage. Doing this will help avoid the juices from raw food—which can contain harmful bacteria—from contaminating cooked food that could make you and your family sick.

Beko Refrigerators now feature new age of NeoFrost Technology

Also make sure that cooked foods that were stored in the fridge are reheated properly before consumption to avoid foodborne illnesses.

Store leftover food properly. Handling leftover foods properly is essential to avoiding and reducing the risks of foodborne illnesses. Before putting them in the fridge, first, make sure that the food is cooked at the right temperature to ensure its safety.

It is also important to take note that while some leftovers can be stored in the fridge, others must be placed in the freezer. This is especially important if you want to keep leftover foods for a few more days before consumption.

Your fridge is one of your most important appliances at home. It keeps your food safe and free from any bacteria, which can lead to food poisoning or other foodborne illnesses. While maintaining your fridge can be hard, Beko Refrigerators’ new age of NeoFrost Technology makes it easy for you and other moms who are on the go to effortlessly keep food safe while sitting in the fridge.

With two times faster cooling, the new age of NeoFrost helps retain the moisture for a longer time to keep your food as fresh and nutritious as when you first bought it. Plus, its two separate cooling systems help maintain the high humidity in the fridge all while keeping the freezer dry, frozen, and frost-free. More than that, you will no longer have to worry about nasty odors transferring between the fridge and freezer compartments with its two separate fans.
