The BatStateU ACTION Center is the home for community folks, barangay leaders, local executives, disaster managers, researchers, partner civil society organizations and other stakeholders needing assistance and support to enhance their knowledge and skills on disaster preparedness and response.

- Make local leaders and communities more aware of the dangers of natural hazards and be prepared when such disasters occur; and
- Inform people and communities about all possible natural hazards in their areas, the warning information and the suggested actions to take during these events.
