Baguio City Smart Flood Warning, Information and Mitigation System - Data Dissemination and Outreach Plan

This report helps to base Baguio's Flood Early Warning System on understanding the needs of vulnerable and marginalized groups and lays the ground for further development of the FEWS in a collaborative manner with local stakeholders. It also provides an overview of the different available channels and tools for message dissemination, along with the advantages and disadvantages of each channel. The report also includes a library of suggested key messages centering on pre-disaster preparedness and post-disaster actions for use by the city government in designing different communication materials for different target groups.

A suggested warning message structure/template for dissemination during disasters is also provided in this report, which includes the basic information that recipients would need to act on the warning. These messages and warnings will need to be validated in the test/validation phase in a stepwise manner, initially by the FEWS operations and maintenance team, subsequently by the Mayor’s office, and eventually by the end users at Barangay and household levels.
