Synopsis (short abstract) The vulnerability of the Bicol Region to meteorological hazards such as typhoons, floods, drought, high magnitude rainfall and related hazards, such landslides is underscored. The agriculture sector, particularly the rain fed and upland agro-ecological zones, which are largely dependent on climatic conditions, are one of the most affected areas. The many resource-poor farmers in this region are highly vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change and the effect it has on food security and their livelihoods. This necessitates putting in place adaptation strategies to reduce their vulnerability and enhance their adaptive capacities. This is the final good practice options report of the TCP/PHI/3203 ?Strengthening the capacities for climate risk management and disaster preparedness in selected provinces of the Philippines (Bicol Region) by Bicol University, which provides an overview on the selection, testing and validation process of the location-specific good practice options (GPO ) as well as the documentation of the validated good practices.
