In this episode of Behind The Science Podcast, we explore disaster resilience in the Philippines with Koji Elegado and Reina Chong. They discuss their climate change and disaster risk research, focusing on Catanduanes, a region often hit by typhoons. We will learn about the factors affecting resilience such as socioeconomic conditions, gender differences, and urban vs. rural vulnerabilities. The conversation covers interdisciplinary approaches, the challenges of conducting field research, and the importance of data in improving disaster preparedness. Tune in to gain valuable insights into the intersection of science, climate change, and disaster management in the Philippines.⌛Chapters00:00 Introduction to Guests03:21 Scientific Journey10:41 Disaster Resilience Studies16:59 Study Results21:34 Research Funding and Support26:46 Research Challenges28:52 Good Research Experiences31:23 Future Plans38:26 Advice for Beginning Researchers📚Reference: Chong, Reina Mae and Tangunan, Deborah and Toyado, Dexter M. and Elegado, Aljon Francis Koji, Evolving Disaster Resilience in the Philippines: Insights from the 2021 and 2023 World Risk Poll on Socio-Economic, Regional, and Systemic Factors.
