Albay’s strong disaster risk reduction (DRR) program is slowly transforming vulnerable areas into resilient communities, led by this city, with an ongoing P2-billion flood control project designed to save it from massive flooding.

Governor Joey Salceda of Albay province said the project will reinvent Legazpi City as an all-weather community and live up to its role as regional center of Bicol politically, economically, and as a model of disaster resiliency.
