ABSTRACT
Disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, and ecosystems management and restoration (DRR-CCA-EMR) require local government units (LGUs) to be at the forefront of the planning process. However, LGUs' ability to undertake many of these plans and mainstream them locally has been hampered by their limited capacities and understanding in its use and their ability to access and process the information needed for these plans. This practitioner or experience paper discusses the challenges of rationalizing the automation, access and use of DRR-CCA-EMR information in eGovernment in order to develop more integrated plans that engage stakeholders at the local level.
