The National Drought Plan for the Philippines sets out a framework for drought risk reduction, preparedness, monitoring, response and recovery, aimed at strengthening national resilience and ensuring coordinated action across sectors. It consolidates information on drought occurrence, impacts and vulnerability, and establishes both short-term response actions and longer-term risk reduction measures, including standardized monitoring and early warning systems, risk mapping, and sector-specific interventions in water management and agriculture. The Plan promotes an integrated and multi-agency approach under national disaster risk management structures, assigning roles to key institutions and outlining coordination mechanisms, communication protocols, and response triggers, while supporting capacity-building, data systems development, and alignment with existing national policies and development planning frameworks.
