🚨 Disaster Preparedness Week 2026 | July 13–19, 2026
"Naghahanda at Kumikilos Tungo sa Panatag na Bagong Pilipinas."
As part of the 38th National Disaster Resilience Month (NDRM) 2026, the Department of the Interior and Local Government Region V joins the nationwide observance of Disaster Preparedness Week by highlighting one of DILG's flagship initiatives in building resilient communities—Operation L!STO.
📘 What is Operation L!STO?
Operation L!STO is the DILG's disaster preparedness advocacy program designed to strengthen the readiness of Local Government Units (LGUs) through a whole-of-government approach. First launched in 2014 through its initial component, L!STONG Pamahalaang Lokal, the program institutionalized standardized local protocols for disaster preparedness and monitoring, enabling LGUs to anticipate, prepare for, and respond effectively to hazards.
🌏 One Manual. One Hazard. One Prepared Community.
Throughout this week, DILG Region V will feature the Operation L!STO Disaster Preparedness Manuals—practical, hazard-specific guides that support LGUs, responders, and communities in preparing for and responding to disasters.
Featured Manuals:
✅ Disaster Preparedness Manual for Earthquakes
✅ Disaster Preparedness Manual for Tsunamis
✅ Disaster Preparedness Manual for City and Municipal LGUs (Typhoon Edition)
✅ Disaster Preparedness Manual for Local Weather Disturbances
✅ Volcanic Eruption Protocols (Region V – Mayon & Bulusan)
Other Manuals and Protocols:
✅ Management of the Dead and Missing Persons Field Manual
✅ Protocols for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases
✅ Listo si Kap Quick Guide (DILG MC 2025-035)
📢 Stay tuned as we explore each manual and discover how these knowledge resources empower our LGUs and communities to become L!STO—prepared, proactive, and resilient in the face of disasters.
Together, let us continue building safer, stronger, and more resilient Bicol communities.
