There is a need for households in flood-prone areas to strengthen their adaptive capacities to cope with the negative impacts of climate change. The main objective of this paper is to measure adaptive capacity to cope with the effects of flooding of households in lakeshore communities of Pila, Laguna, Philippines, a municipality with high vulnerability to climate change. The adaptive capacity index (ACI) was estimated by adapting the objective and subjective approaches to adaptive capacity measurements and using both equal and unequal weighting approaches to index estimation with household-level data. We also looked at the levels of adaptive capacity by income group and presented policy recommendations. Overall, the findings of this research suggest that there is a need to prioritize households with low adaptive capacities and be given necessary local government support. Results also suggest the use of appropriate weights for estimating the adaptive capacity index. There were statistically significant differences between the ACIs of households using equal and unequal weighting approaches. Since this study is case-specific, there is a need to conduct further studies using the three weighting approaches and determine how results vary across groups.

The Philippines is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world and frequently ranks among the top three countries most impacted by disasters. Ongoing conflict with non-state armed actors results in scenarios where civilians are impacted by both conflict and natural hazards. The result is a situation where civilian relief agencies operate in proximity to the military. We argue that there is an important need for principled civil-military coordination in these contexts to ensure the integrity of security operations to support peace and stability while preserving the independence of humanitarian actors serving crisis-affected populations. The research reveals significant challenges in protecting the integrity of independence of both military and humanitarian actors in areas impacted by both conflict and disaster and underscores the need for principled humanitarian civil-military coordination to avert threats to both humanitarian aid workers and disaster affected populations. The findings are particularly relevant to South East Asia where the use of military in disaster response is common. The findings also underscore the need for research on the role of militaries in responding to disasters in light of anticipated impacts of climate change.
