[0:00]This is PlanSmart Ready to Rebuild. Your one-stop web app for faster, more inclusive, and resilient disaster recovery. Disaster set back our community's growth and development, especially when we are unprepared and unsure where to begin the recovery process. While disasters come and go in the blink of an eye, rehabilitation and recovery take years to happen. But what if you can prepare for post-disaster recovery even before calamities happens? To make this process more efficient, convenient, and effective, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council through the Department of Science and Technology, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, and the Office of Civil Defense, in partnership with The World Bank, developed the PlanSmart Ready to Rebuild app! PlanSmart is an automated planning tool that integrates the various assessment tools of the GeoRisk Philippines Platform with the Ready to Rebuild Program to streamline the process for users at the local government level. Through PlanSmart, you can determine how many people can be affected by a disaster through accurate information, including hazard assessments and reports. It can also help you identify key stakeholders for rehabilitation and recovery, so you can organize and mobilize them quickly once disasters hit! Moreover, PlanSmart provides a menu of funding sources for various projects, programs, and activities to ensure efficient financing of resilient recovery. It also features a pro-forma template of planning documents that consolidate all pre-disaster analyses. This will inform your local government on the best course of action before a typhoon, earthquake, or a volcanic eruption happens. This is also a platform for collaboration, as it can allow you to work with different organizations and institutions. It is envisioned to integrate impact assessment simulations in one system. And the best part? PlanSmart Ready to Rebuild app is free for everyone, anytime, anywhere! With PlanSmart Ready to Rebuild, we are steps closer towards a faster, more inclusive, and more resilient disaster recovery. And all this is finally at your fingertips!
