00:00 This is a board game that is related to the storm, earthquake and volcano eruption.

00:05 It is like a mix of snakes and ladders and monopoly.

00:08 But instead of getting points or getting rich,

00:12 the players will expand their knowledge in preparing and facing disasters.

00:17 And the goal of the game is to gain as many hero tokens as you can

00:22 so that you can become the master of disaster.

00:25 The master of disaster is a way to teach the dangers of the disaster,

00:30 especially to children.

00:32 What makes the game really engaging and helpful and digestible

00:36 is that it's just bits of information.

00:39 The students of Polytechnic University of the Philippines

00:42 are building a prototype early warning system.

00:46 It will help to give warning to the communities

00:50 regarding the upcoming calamity.

00:52 Hopefully, we will see, or there will be a door opening for future possible funding.

00:59 In a study conducted by more than 100 and 70 countries,

01:03 the Philippines is the first in the world

01:06 to face the highest level of calamity.

01:10 The storms, earthquakes and volcanic activity are almost simultaneous.

01:15 And the most affected are remote areas or even big cities.

01:21 We are in a mega city with mega problems

01:25 and today we share with you our mega solutions.

01:30 These solutions were created in a trade show a while ago.

01:34 Most of the disaster risk and management innovations are made in the Philippines.

01:39 Hazard Hunter PH is an app where you can measure

01:44 how fragile a house or place is in a disaster.

01:48 There are nutritious food in easy-to-open packages

01:52 and chicken eggs that last for 5 months.

01:55 There are ready-to-eat meals that can be distributed as a relief supply.

02:00 A collapsible toilet bowl can also be used in evacuation centers.

02:07 There is a DIY bamboo shelter, a portable boat that does not sink

02:12 and a water tank that can be used to store rainwater.

02:16 This should be brought down to all LGUs.

02:19 We're going to make a template here.

02:21 Make people aware of what the OST is doing.

02:24 In the coming months, Handa Filipinas Expo will be held in Visayas and Mindanao

02:30 to encourage everyone to invest in science and technology

02:34 to prepare for the upcoming disasters.

02:38 Handa is a call to action.

02:41 Maghanda, to empower citizens, local governments and all stakeholders

02:47 in taking an active role to achieve our end of state of resilience,

02:51 of being prepared, of being handa.
