An adaptive and resilient community on disaster risks and climate change related hazards becomes a progressive and productive community.
LGU STRATEGIES & INITIATIVES
Establishment of Agro - Met Station
Facilities
Dumangas Agro-Met Station was established in November 2002 and it is supported by Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) headed by Dr. Arjunapermal Subbiah. The Agro-Met station is the pilot project of PAGASA and ADPC
in the Philippines
CLIMATE FORECAST APPLICATION FOR AGRICULTURE
AGRO MET - STATION SUSTAINABILITY
Sources of Funds:• 5% calamity funds• Integrated Disaster Management Program (IDMP) from the
20% IRA Development Funds.• Financial Assistance from outside sources (National &
International)• Enactment of ordinance appropriating the amount of
P 200,000.00 per annum for the operation of Dumangas Agro Met Station.
• Financial and Technical supports from Asean Disaster Preparedness Council (ADPC) for the development and sustainability of Agro Met and its services.
Climate and Weather Forecasting in the field of agriculture has been in demand due to its efficiency in the recent years, which resulted to increased farm productions.
Adapting to climate and weather
changes can also be beneficial in
farming, by obtaining and
understanding the right
informations can help
farmers to produce and earn more.
- First (1st) in the Philippines - Second (2nd) in Asia

The Climate Field School
program aims to establish sustainable end-to-end institutional system for the generation and application of locally-tailored climate information tools, build capacity to apply these in real-time and to mitigate the impacts of calamity.
IMPACT OF THE PROJECT:
Farmers are able to identify available management options in order to mitigate climate related risks or take advantage of a favorable climate.
They understand the process of forecast interpretation, translation, and communication for agricultural applications.
SOCIO ECONOMIC IMPACTS: From third class to first class
municipality Lessen damages to infrastructures which
equate to less reconstruction and rehabilitation expenses for the government.
Livelihood of the constituents are protected & continuously to be productive.
Resources can be utilized to other developmental endeavors.
Increased and maximum agricultural production is attainable.
