Utilizing the context of the Davao City’s flood vulnerable communities (Basa, 2017; Boquiren, 2017; Bustillo, 2017; Carillo, 2015; DRRMO reports, n.d.; Figureoa, 2019; Revita, 2018), the approach to its risk communication must consider the integration of flood risk communication with the disaster management cycle. This approach reinforces various studies which revealed that flood risk management is greatly affected by different factors (Kreibich et al. 2005; Kreibich et al., 2011b) and the responses to flooding incidences are affected by changes in preparedness practices (Kreibich et al., 2011a; Helsloot & Ruitenberg, 2004; Howard et al., 2017; Kerstholt et al., 2017), the flood vulnerable communities’ adaptation practices to flooding are developed through time (Kreibich et al., 2017; Kreibich et al., 2007; Kreibich & Thieken, 2009). Moreover, Thieken (2016) emphasized that: (1) flood risk awareness leads to precautionary actions if effective risk communication and management is implemented; (2) flood hazard information, precautionary measures and coping possibilities should be linked more effectively to provide a more context-specific approach; (3) timely and reliable warnings especially to low-lying areas should be given in the event of rainfall in the higher areas; and, (4) training of communities to ensure alertness and precision of flood responses should be encouraged.
