Abstract
The purpose of this project proposal is to unearth the narratives of women in Barangay San Jose which will form the basis for developing a locally adaptive risk disaster communication plan. Despite the dismay, sadness, and horryfing stories of women participants, the community-crafted communication plan will be an authentic expression of gender representation where women’s voice highlights a direct role in designing a pro-active risk disaster communication plan foregrounded on perceptions, experiences, and lessons learned under the three different phases of risk response: pre-disaster, during disaster, and post-disaster reponses in environmental disruptions. Thus, the proposed narrative-based communication plan will be utilizing descriptive phenomenology highlighting the lived experiences and interpretations of the women of Barangay San Jose.
Following the crafting of the plan, its implementation will rest on the concerted efforts between the government, civic groups, stakeholders, and the community people in order to make the “Whispers of Nature” a truly authentic mirroring of women participation in disaster risk communication planning.
