Under this law, local government units (LGUs), public institutions, and entities responsible for critical infrastructure are subject to new requirements regarding crisis preparedness and civilian protection.
ORION — Technology Aligned with Specific Legal Requirements
The ORION system has been designed as a scalable response to the challenges outlined in the Act, particularly:
Articles 36–135 (Chapters 5–9): concerning protective infrastructure, evacuation plans, crisis management, and readiness reporting.
Articles 168 and 170: regarding funding for defense and infrastructure systems through targeted grants, LGU budgets, and government programs.
