Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Council- Aparri, Cagayan
A. Background
Aparri is located at the northern most tip at the mainland of Luzon and 595 km
away from Manila and 104 kms from Tuguegarao City. The municipality is
divided by the Cagayan River creating the East and West Aparri. It consists of
42 barangays including 1 island barangay. It is bounded by Babuyan Channel
in the North, Camalaniugan in the South, Buguey in the East, and Ballesteros
in the West. It has a total land area of 28, 664 has and consisting of 5 river
tributaries aside from the Cagayan River. There is no mountain but there are
some hilly portions at Barangays Bangag, Caagaman, Plaza, Binalan,
Backiling and has a 0-3% elevation (flat).
The weather in the municipality are COOL and WET during the months of
SEPTEMBER to FEBRUARY, HOT and DRY during the months of MARCH to
JUNE, and MODERATELY HOT and WET during JULY to August.
Demography. The total population is 68, 849 and concentrated in the urban
barangays (Punta, San Antonio, Minanga, Centro1-5, Macanaya and Maura).
The population density is 2 person/ha with an annual growth of .01%.
Economic. Aparri for centuries has been the trading center in this part of the
country. But the change of national thrust in which several growth centers in
the rural communities were identified as a strategy in the promotion of growth
in the countryside thereby a series of roads and bridges construction were
undertaken , made this development role of Aparri no longer its monopoly but
rather share it with the other municipalities. Despite this situation, Aparri still
stands as a premier town because of the many businesses already
established. Today, Aparri is emerging as the institutional center of the
northeastern part of the province of Cagayan. There is an estimated more
than a thousand commercial establishments operating in the municipality.
In support to this are 8 Banks and 10 duly licensed and registered
pawnshops and Money Changers. Major Crop is Rice which is planted at
38.44% of the agricultural area. Other Products are vegetables, citrus trees,
pineapple, and coconut trees. Livestock is raised at the backyard but a few
commercial raisers are found in few rural barangays.
Transportation are Aircon Buses -Florida, Auto Bus (To and from Manila and
other parts of the country), Dalin Liner, Victory Liner and Northern Star. There
are also PUVs, Non aircon Buses and vans (short distances). Boats regularly
plying from Toran-Paruddun Sur Wharf, Furugganan Landing wharf to Linao,
Furugganan Landing wharf to Sanja, Furugganan Landing wharf to Navagan
and Inter-Island boats with regular schedules plying from Aparri to Calayan,
Fuga islands and Macunacon.
Aparri Water District serves the Poblacion with potable water through level III
system and all other barangays are served by other sources like shallow and
deep wells. All barangays are served by CAGAYAN ELECTRIC COOP and
Fuga Island a portion thereof by solar power

With the following result, it was identified that Flood and Typhoon are the
topmost hazard in the municipality. Nevertheless, with the consensus of the MDRRM
Council, typhoon was the event that needs to plan for.
Early warning signs that the MDRRM Council needs to watch out for are
PAGASA Advisory and weather forecast thru quadmedia. Observable signs such as
Sound waves/strong winds, reddish color of the sky / dark blue/dark clouds, Wind
intensity, change of sea water movement are also considered. The MDRRM Council
also believes in the animal and insects behavior, Migration of birds and movement of
animals.
The following are the identified DRRM Measures/Interventions of the
municipality to address the possible effects of Typhoon:

D. Scenario Building
Contingency Planning is a forward planning process in a state of uncertainty in which scenarios and objectives are agreed,
managerial and technical actions defined, and potential response systems put in place in order to prepare for, or better respond to
and recover to the effects of disasters.
Based on historical events, the municipality has experienced bad, worse case of typhoon. With the Super typhoon Yolanda
happened in Tacloban City which the MDRRMC considered as worst case, the LGU embarked on preparing a Contingency Plan
that assumed in a worst case scenario. However, the CP is not only activated for the worst case but also for bad and worse.

E. Affected
Based on the assumptions stated above, the following is the population affected per barangay
LGU Aparri has long organized, established and institutionalized the Municipal
Disaster Coordinating Council under Presidential Decree (PD) 1566 which provided
for “Strengthening the Philippine Disaster Control and Establishing the National
Program on Community Disaster Preparedness”. It provided the legal framework for
disaster management. The law was centered only on analyzing the hazard and
combating its effect after the disaster. It was more considered to be very reactive
disaster response. The need for a more proactive response brought forth the passing
of Senate Bill No. 3086 and House Bill No. 6985, and the ultimate approval and
signing into law by the President of the Republic of the Philippines, Republic Act
10121, otherwise known as the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Act of 2010. Thus, the Municipal Disaster Coordinating Council is now named to
Municipal Disaster Risk and Reduction Council. The law further provides for the
specific utilization of the 5% calamity fund which is now known as the disaster risk
reduction fund.
Tropical cyclone like that of typhoon Yolanda that will happen in Aparri is the
very reason why the MDRRMC through the leadership of Mayor Shalimar D.
Tumaru, M.D. has requested the technical expertise of the Office of Civil Defense
Region 02 to help as formulate the Aparri Contingency Plan which is anchored on
the MDRRM vision :
