The Philippines, due to its geographical location and physical environment, is among the world’s most disaster-prone countries. Disasters include floods, typhoons, monsoon storms and drought. The country experiences an average of 20 typhoons yearly. Natural hazards severely affect people’s livelihoods as they trigger landslides, flash floods, mudslides, widespread flooding and cause damage to homes, community buildings, communications, infrastructure, and agriculture. Within the Philippines, Bicol is one of the most hazard-prone regions and agriculture is regularly among the most affected sectors. Weather impacts cause variations in production and seasonal price fluctuations significantly affect the income of farmers. Climate change will further exacerbate the region's exposure to climate-induced risks, which challenges farmers to adapt their farming systems to different conditions. Timing of planting coupled with complementary practices, like rice ratooning and the use of suitable rice varieties, can enhance the resilience of farmers to climate change and extreme weather events in particular in typhoon prone areas. This Good Practice Option (GPO) can reduce crop production losses during typhoon months and difficulties of seedbed preparation and transplanting during the turn-around period.
