I.

OVERVIEW

El Niño increases the likelihood of below-normal rainfall conditions, which could

bring negative impacts (such as dry spells and droughts) in some areas of the country
which will likely be manifested during the last quarter of the year and unto the first
quarter of next year. This may adversely affect the different climate-sensitive sectors
such as the water resources, agriculture, energy, health, public safety and other key
sectors of the country.

Based on PAGASA ENSO Alert System Status/ climate monitoring and analyses
updated as of 22 November 2023, a strong El Niño is present in the tropical Pacific,
showing signs of further intensification in the coming months as sea surface
temperature anomalies (SSTAs) reach more than 1.5⁰C. El Niño will likely continue
until the second quarter of 2024.

As per PAGASA’s Meteorological Dry Spell/ Drought condition analysis for

Northern Luzon issued on 21 November 2023, the following are the outlook for El Niño
over different provinces in Region 1 by the end of December 2023 until by the end of
May 2024:

 Per DOST-PAGASA’s Rainfall Forecast as of 22 November 2023, way below
normal or below normal rainfall conditions are likely to be experienced in Region I in
the next six (6) months except in La Union in April 2024 and Ilocos Norte in May 2024
when near normal conditions are forecast.

The recurrence of the El Niño phenomena could result in serious consequences

for agriculture, affecting food supply and distribution, as well as disrupting key services
like power and water, environment, and health, among others. In this connection,
short, medium, and long-term solutions must be implemented to safeguard the
country’s livelihood and fundamental needs while mitigating its adverse effects.

In light of the foregoing and in adherence with the Presidential directives and
NDRRMC Memorandum Circular No. 05, series of 2023, the RDRRMC1 has
convened its member agencies to initiate and spearhead the mitigation efforts for the
possible effect of El Niño in the region.

Guided by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council

(NDRRMC) four thematic areas (Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, Disaster
Preparedness, Disaster Response, and Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery), the
structure for the Region 1 El Niño Team was created while incorporating the Expanded
Roadmap for Addressing the Impact of El Niño’s (E-RAIN) five (5) key sectors, namely:
Food Security; Water Security; Energy Security; Health Security; and Public
Safety.
II. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE AND FRAMEWORK OF THE REGIONAL
EL NIÑO ACTION PLAN

To ensure effective and efficient management on the possible adverse effects of

El Niño in the region, the need to innovate on the strategies and approaches is
recognized and realized by implementing the three levels of response, namely:
Strategic; Operational and Tactical in its organizational structure. This is to ensure
that the organization’s interoperability requirements are met, including the need to
cope with the needs of the current realities in El Niño prevention and mitigation,
preparedness, response, and recovery.

To ensure allocation of resources and harmonization of programs, projects and

activities in the management of the adverse effects of El Niño in the region, the five
(5) key concerns: Water Security; Food Security; Energy Security; Health
Security; and Public Safety are given importance. The Framework for the El Niño
National and Regional Action Plan is anchored with the Expanded Roadmap for
Addressing the Impact of El Niño (E-RAIN). This is to ensure that the current and
anticipated needs will be addressed.

Based on NDRRMC MC No. 05, s. 2023, Expanded Roadmap for Addressing

the Impact of El Niño (E-RAIN) and other issuances relative to El Niño management,
the five (5) key sectors are composed of Food Security, Water Security, Energy
Security, Heath Security, and Public Security.

These key sectors are tasked in carrying out the mitigating efforts and
implementation of actions and plans focused on their respective sectors while guided
by the four (4) DRRM Thematic Areas/Pillars. Likewise, these sectors are required to
develop their respective Sector Plans.

situational development, the management of efforts under the Region 1 El Niño Team
level shall be eventually replicated at the Local Government level.

V. IMPLEMENTATION

To operationalize the Region 1 Action Plan for Addressing the Impact of El Niño
at the local levels, all LGUs are encouraged to develop their respective Local Action
Plans, create and/or reinforce existing organization structures, as appropriate to their
respective settings and best practices for El Niño management.

The Region 1 El Niño Team and its Regional Action Plan will provide
augmentation to the local efforts in addressing the adverse effects of El Niño in the
area of responsibility (AOR).

Further, the Local El Niño Teams may involve other agencies and offices,
including civil society organizations and private partners, to work with the Prevention
and Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery Clusters based on the current
and anticipated needs of the situation in their respective AOR. Furthermore, it shall be
emphasized that the adoption of the Local El Niño Teams shall be subject to the
peculiarity of the LGUs.

Furthermore, this Action Plan serves as a living document and shall be updated
as necessary to address the current situation and needs.
