This aims to:

• Establish  a  benchmark  information  on    disaster preparedness of local governments from which will evolve  government  interventions  to  influence   a progressive  capacity  build-up  among  provinces,  cities and municipalities
• Assess post-intervention disaster preparedness to determine performance gaps that need to be aggressively addressed
• Incentivize institutionalized disaster preparedness as a proof of official recognition to the valuing by a local government of public safety and welfare
