Workshop Guidelines and Mechanics
Objective
The main objective of the workshop (I and II) is to gather feedback fromparticipants representing the government, private and non-governmentalorganizations and academe on;(1) Typhoon Yolanda issues and concerns (science and engineering, socialand recovery) with regard to up-to-date findings through research, survey
and practice(2) Further activities and collaborations in addressing future typhoon
disasters similar to Yolanda
The input will serve as one of the guiding principles in creating a sound andsustainable disaster risk, reduction and management plans that will bepresented to the appropriate government and non-governmental organizations.
