Through expert-led training, PDRF seeks to promote disciplines focused on Business Continuity Management (BCM), Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) for PDRF’s network of corporations, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), communities, and various partner organizations to empower them and strengthen their resilience and adaptability.
PDRF provides capacity-building interventions and knowledge solutions to promote business and public sector continuity management in the region.
PDRF targets micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) that form the supply chain of our corporate members and partner organizations. The overarching goal is to build resilient economic lifeline supply chains and fence-line communities, ensuring their ability to continue delivering services and products, and establishing their capacity to recover immediately from disasters.
PDRF provides capacity building programs and technical assistance on business continuity management and supply chain resilience for member companies.
In partnership with the Office of Civil Defense and the Department of the Interior and Local Government, PDRF provides technical assistance in establishing public service continuity programs for national government agencies and local government units.
PDRF strengthens the ability of organizations and communities to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. It enhances risk assessment, emergency coordination, and data-driven decision-making while improving understanding of weather, climate, and multi-hazard risks.
At the same time, it promotes people-centered resilience by prioritizing safety, mental well-being, and community preparedness, ensuring that responders and communities are equipped to adapt, protect lives, and sustain recovery during and after disasters.
PDRF crafts e-learning solutions that are expert-guided, learner-centered, and evidence-based for self-paced and blended virtual learning modalities.
iADAPT (Innovations Academy for Disaster Awareness, Preparedness, and Training) is PDRF’s e-learning solution to the need for equipping Filipinos with the necessary tools, skills, and resources for disaster resilience even in the new normal. An all-in-one platform that promotes blended learning for learners from anywhere on the globe, iADAPT offers self-paced online courses, interactive seminars, and in-depth trainings that cover DRR, BC, and CCA.

The Area-wide Business Continuity Management for Key Industries and Lifeline Utilities Project is a private sector initiative led by PDRF and supported by USAID, which aims to make the business community resilient by developing a harmonized framework for the continuity of operations of different stakeholders. The AWBCM project focuses on the DRR Policy and Practice sector with the components of Capacity Building and Training and Policy and Practice. The province of Laguna in Region IV-A has been selected as the target pilot site because of its several economic zones and its proximity to Taal Volcano and several active fault lines. These economic zones have high exposure to hazards that may affect the supply chain and employees.
In partnership with DHL and UNDP, Get Airports Ready for Disasters Program in the Philippines focuses on airport assessment, the creation of action plans, and report writing that will develop airports as reliable and efficient delivery hubs for relief items and personnel during disasters.
