The purpose of the LEOC is to serve as the single focal point and command centre for the management of information, decision-making, and resource support and allocation during an emergency and recovery process at the local level. [...] • Identify the disaster vulnerable areas and population within the municipality and engage the vulnerable communities in disaster preparedness and response activities and plans. [...] Capacity and Needs Assessment As the first step, GGGI evaluated the municipalities’ needs and capacity (Annex 1) to evaluate the status of the DRRM acts, policies, and frameworks at the local level. [...] None of the project municipalities had SoP and lacked the personnel with the necessary skills to draft one and GGGI offered technical assistance to all the project municipalities in the drafting of the SoP. [...] The LEOC should also monitor the disaster related program and activities in the municipality and function as a secretariat for all the data and information related to the hazards, risks, vulnerabilities, impacts and losses.
