Disaster Preparedness Assessment (DPA) Portal
Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG)
What does the DPA assess?
The DPA assesses LGU capacities for disaster preparedness—defined under RA 10121 as the strengths, resources, institutions, systems, and competencies that reduce disaster risks and impacts—by examining inputs and activities within the LGU’s direct control that are critical to effective disaster preparedness.
What framework anchors the DPA and how are its indicators implemented?
The DPA is anchored on the Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG), with LGU mandates translated into progressive performance indicators that are periodically reviewed and updated, and implemented through technical guidelines issued by the DILG for each assessment cycle.
How can LGUs prepare for and complete the DPA?
LGUs complete the assessment using a standardized checklist or data capture form and submit documentary evidence to support their responses, with compliance verified through regional assessments and national validation.
