The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office 10, through its Disaster Response Management Division (DRMD), launched the pilot testing of the LGU Request for Augmentation System on January 31, 2025. This centralized platform is designed to streamline disaster response requests from the Local Government Units (LGUs) to DSWD Regional Office 10.
The system aims to improve efficiency, transparency, and responsiveness in disaster response efforts by allowing LGUs to submit requests via a secure, user-friendly interface. It also provides real-time tracking of request statuses and automated notifications to keep LGUs updated on their requests. Additionally, the platform integrates data from various sources, enhancing coordination and decision-making.
In partnership with the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) of Cagayan de Oro City, DSWD 10 is actively monitoring the systemโs performance by gathering feedback and making necessary adjustments based on the ongoing pilot testing. This marks the start of a critical phase to refine the platform using user input and technical evaluations, with the goal of launching it for broader use across the region.
