 CAR - It is a good proposal to the authorities to have separate evacuation centers for PWDs, pregnant women, men, and women with their children to have an organized and specific catering of their necessities. Since they are more vulnerable than men, women should be trained exhaustively for disaster-preparedness thru trainings form Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (DRRMC). The LGUs should also provide support system for women and children who are traumatized because of the calamity suffered. Psychosocial services are greatly needed during these times thus government should always give such access of services to those greatly affected.  Region 6 - The issues as to development aggression are not properly given attention by their LGUs, thus, the people in the community would travel for long hours and spend a lot of money to ask the help of the Commission on Human Rights.  Region 5 - Most of the issues are addressed but the measures taken are not sufficient  Region 9 - For the victims of unfortunate events, such as the Zamboanga Siege and Fire, tagging is done with those in the sites but when missed and not tagged, no share of the donations is given, even if the people are also victims of crises. Though there are situations like this, those in the transitory sites are more privileged of information as compared to those in the grassroots In Region 7, participants were firm in asserting that vulnerable groups, especially the women, have no adequate protection in times of displacement/disaster. These vulnerable groups are usually found with limited resources (e.g., food, shelter, and finances) and medical attention is few and far between. Participants from Region 2 also lamented the lack of rubber boats and other equipment during rescue operations, and unavailability of medicines and contraceptives. In Region 4, they noted that the government provides adequate support but there are variations in the implementation of programs depending on the LGUs. In Davao City, adequate support is provided but in other provinces, these are insufficient. 74
