Abstract : This examines how climate change is affecting the Philippines' harsh weather, rising sea levels, agricultural losses, and migratory pressures. Despite having low global per capita emissions, the people living in these Southeast Asian coastal or archipelago nations still face a few of the worst consequences of global climate change. The ethical issue is also addressed at the local level. It seeks to provide a deeper understanding of the contradictions of extra measures resulting from climate damage and explain how they should live their lives regardless of climate rules.

Keywords : Disaster Management, Risk Assessment, Engineering, Emergency Operation Plans.
