This study looked into the ethno-ecological coping mechanisms of households in Tumana, Marikina City, a catch basin.  Households were interviewed based on their flooding experiences, how they have coped and what emergency preparedness they adopt when flooding is seen to occur due to typhoon, storm surge or high tide. The study found that the community-based approach has been quite useful as a tool for reducing disaster risks brought about by flooding. Such approach has also enabled the households to conserve their assets/property in the light of repetitive flooding. As physical infrastructures in poor communities are quite limited with respect to protecting the households from a high water level rise, community-based approaches and social capital can be useful tools for mitigating disaster risks. The study could be used for more effective land use plans. It could also serve to improve state-based policies by integrating the community-based risk management approach, a cost-effective and sustainable mechanism in strengthening the resiliency of communities.

In this era of shrinking resources and increased pressure to produce "practice-ready" lawyers, law schools are seeking new and cost-effective ways to provide experiential education. This article reports and analyzes the results of a survey of graduates and students from a course in Nonprofit Organizations that incorporated a community-based project designed to develop skills, enhance learning and encourage post-graduation involvement with nonprofits. Although limited to one course, this course study, like a case study, offers valuable information. Consistent with other research on experiential education, the survey supports the conclusion that such projects, while less resource intensive and comprehensive than clinics, offer benefits to both the students and to the community.

The Individual

In this paper we investigate how well residents of the Andaman coast in Phang Nga province, Thailand, are prepared for earthquakes and tsunami. It is hypothesized that formal education can promote disaster preparedness because education enhances individual cognitive and learning skills, as well as access to information. A survey was conducted of 557 households in the areas that received tsunami warnings following the Indian Ocean earthquakes on 11 April 2012. Interviews were carried out during the period of numerous aftershocks, which put residents in the region on high alert. The respondents were asked what emergency preparedness measures they had taken following the 11 April earthquakes. Using the partial proportional odds model, the paper investigates determinants of personal disaster preparedness measured as the number of preparedness actions taken. Controlling for village effects, we find that formal education, measured at the individual, household, and community levels, has a positive relationship with taking preparedness measures. For the survey group without past disaster experience, the education level of household members is positively related to disaster preparedness. The findings also show that disaster related training is most effective for individuals with high educational attainment. Furthermore, living in a community with a higher proportion of women who have at least a secondary education increases the likelihood of disaster preparedness. In conclusion, we found that formal education can increase disaster preparedness and reduce vulnerability to natural hazards.
