UP SURP Hosts LIRLAP Gaming Simulation Workshop on Building Floor Resilience
On 23 February 2024, UP SURP hosted the gaming simulation workshop organized by the Linking Disaster Risk Governance and Land-Use Planning (LIRLAP) project to develop flood proofing concepts for Kasiglahan Village, a resettlement area in San Jose, Rodriguez, Rizal.
The workshop gathered a multi-sectoral assembly of participants from national government agencies, local government units, concerned formations, and residents of the area. UP SURP faculty and staff shared their expertise and assisted in the conduct of the two-part gaming simulation which explored various structural means of coping with the flood and investigated the ways in which the proposed measures can be adopted in line with the current practices being implemented.
