consultation engagements and technical assistance to LGUs and other organizations have also been conducted. The
sustainability of these activities was being maintained to aid in community development.

A Project titled Valuation on LGU’s Emergency Measures in times of Natural and Human-induced Disasters: A Citizen’s
Perspective, has been selected as one of the projects under the CY 2016 implementation of the DILG Technical Assistance
Program for Local Resource Institutes on the Utilization of the CSIS Results. The project aims to gauge citizens’ perception of
local disaster risk, reduction, and management (LDRRM) strategies of LGUs. Furthermore, it aims to offer feedback
mechanisms and help provide insight and guidance on how LDRRM may be integrated into development strategies both in
national and local governments.

Two years after the conduct of the study, the
DILG Central Office has identified to
document the area on Disaster Risk
Reduction Management in the 3 cities –
Cauayan, Ilagan, and Santiago. This was
done to communicate and advocate the
utilization of CSIS results to improve public
service delivery by developing a
compendium on the best practices
conducted by LRI grantees of the DILG
Technical Assistance Program.

The result of the study was presented during
the International Conference on Governance
and Partnership, and Technology Exhibition
on Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and
Disaster Risk Management in Local
Governance last October 23, 2018 at the
Marco Paulo Hotel, Cauayan City, Isabela.

Fortunately, the ISU-CSIS TA project was selected as one of the top 24 Documented Powerful Stories anchored on the results
of the Citizen Satisfaction Index System (CSIS). In November 2018, the University represented by the President and CSIS
Project Manager was invited to the launching of the compendium and to give a testimonial focusing on the impacts of the
project implemented by the ISU Project Team.
