This document provides the rationale, objectives, organization, framework, and timeline for a workshop on lessons learned from recent tropical cyclones Ondoy, Pepeng, and Santi in the Philippines. The workshop aims to identify challenges and best practices in disaster response at local, regional, and national levels in order to improve disaster management systems. It will be organized into breakout groups discussing four themes: response preparedness, emergency response coordination and operations, impact monitoring and assessment, and disaster information management. The groups will use common questions and templates to document key discussion points, recommendations, and areas needing further improvement.
