The world is changing.

Natural hazards are increasing more and more in intensities as man continues to advance with their lifestyles.

Ondoy, Pepeng, and all the other names we came to associate with heavy gusts of winds, rains, lanslides, and floods.

The Mayon Volcano eruption.

The Haiti 7.5 magnitude earthquake.

Natural hazards. Natural disasters.

They are unavoidable. They are Mother Nature’s way of keeping the balance of life. They will continue to exist as long as life exists.

But it doesn’t mean you can’t do anything about these hazards. YOU CAN actually lessen its effects.

The way to deal with these hazards is to make an empowered citizenry. A generation who understands, who knows, and who is prepared to face these disasters.

Be part of this new generation! Together, let us develop a culture of safety!

Raise your alert level to ten and be the RESCUE!

Get ready for Alert Level ’10: The RESCUE

On the 27th of March at 8:30 PM, cities and towns across the world will turn off their lights for one hour - Earth Hour- sending a powerful global message that it’s time to take action on global warming.

For the past two years Earth Hour has brought together about one billion people around the globe, in more than 1000 cities from businesses, governments, and communities sending a message to world leaders in the lead-up to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Copenhagen. We need to commit to reducing green house gas emissions to prevent catastrophic climate change impacts especially on the most vulnerable communities and to ensure the survival of our planet.

The United Nations Copenhagen Climate Change Conference 2009 was a historical gathering that brought together world leaders, to tackle the most challenging crisis of our time. We needed a deal, we needed commitments, and we needed political will to be able to initiate action against climate change. However the outcome of Copenhagen was unable to fulfill the objectives of keeping global warming below the widely agreed 2 degrees Celsius high-risk level.

This year Earth Hour is even more important and significant. This year, Earth Hour 2010 will empower individuals to commit to the challenge of finding the courage to solve the climate change crisis. It will continue to send a strong message to the world leaders for change by calling upon individuals, communities, and governments to turn out their lights for an extra hour.

In what we hope, will be the world’s largest mass participation event, Earth Hour 2010 will be the culmination of over one billion people around the globe, in more than 6000 cities, towns, and municipalities from businesses, government and the community turning off lights for one hour on one night. Earth Hour 2010 aims to send a message to world leaders that we, the citizens of the planet, demand commitment to actions that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions for the benefit of the planet. 2010 is the ultimate year for humanity to address the problem.

Last March 2009, the Philippines ranked first amongst all nations who participated in Earth Hour 2009. From Luzon, Visayas to Mindanao, 647 local government units and communities switched off their lights, and iconic buildings and landmarks went dark. This year WWF is aiming for the support of at least 15 million Filipinos nationwide. In the midst of the darkness, the Philippines will shine again.

Earth Hour is a message of hope and action. Imagine what we can do if we act together.

Join us on March 27 at 8:30pm for Earth Hour 2010.
