The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) on Wednesday announced the launching of “Listo si KAP” which stands for Komunidad at Punong Barangays (Communities and Barangay Captains).

In a news release, the DILG said “Listo si KAP” is a comprehensive disaster preparedness and response framework tailored for all Filipino communities in line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.’s call for safer and disaster-resilient communities.

“Building on the multi-hazard response plan Operation L!sto, ‘Listo si KAP’ provides barangays with protocols to help them better prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters,” the DILG said.

“The initiative promotes heightened vigilance during the pre-disaster phase, outlines critical actions for imminent hazards, and guides communities in conducting post-disaster needs assessments.”

Under Memorandum Circular No. 2025-035 issued on April 7, the DILG designated the existing Barangay Development Council as the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (LDRRM) Council, responsible for approving the Barangay DRRM Plan and recommending emergency measures such as preemptive evacuation.

The Barangay DRRM Committee (BDRRMC), meanwhile, will function as the LDRRM Office tasked with crafting and executing disaster risk management programs at the barangay level.

Among the BDRRMC’s responsibilities during the preparedness phase are the conduct of regular disaster drills, ensuring the availability of emergency equipment and supplies, and auditing critical infrastructure. During the response phase, barangays must activate operations centers, manage evacuation sites, and coordinate search and rescue efforts.

Post-disaster, BDRRMCs are also expected to assist in damage assessment, rehabilitation efforts, and engage various sectors in crafting sustainable recovery solutions.

With “Listo si KAP”, the DILG stressed its commitment to empowering barangays in building disaster-resilient communities across the country. (PNA)
