Abstract
The Greater Metro Manila Area (GMMA) is a global megacity that experiences some of the world’s worst natural disasters, as a result of geological (e.g. earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis) and hydrometeorological hazards (e.g. tropical cyclones and floods). As an affirmative step to implement the Hyogo Framework for Action, The Philippine Government has undertaken a program of hazard and risk analysis capacity building through a collaborative partnership among the National Disaster Risk Reduction & Management Council (NDRRMC) Collective Strengthening of Community Awareness for Natural Disasters (CSCAND), the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and Geoscience Australia (GA). The activity was the Enhancing Risk Analysis Capacities for Flood, Tropical Cyclone Severe Wind and Earthquake for Greater Metro Manila Area, Philippines (GMMA RAP), and was part of the Metro Manila Post-Ketsana Recovery and Reconstruction Program.
