June 14, 2026 1 min read

BEACON — the Business Emergency Alert and Continuity Operations Network — brings real-time disaster information directly to microenterprise owners across the Bicol Region.

What you get

  • Location-based alerts for tropical cyclones and storm signals affecting your area;
  • Hazard map overlays showing flood- and landslide-prone zones around your business;
  • Continuity tools to keep your Business Continuity Plan and emergency contacts within reach;
  • Learning resources on preparedness, recovery, and financial resilience.

Built on real data

BEACON draws on the centralized LUMEN database and official weather sources so the guidance you see reflects conditions on the ground. The goal is simple: give every microenterprise enough lead time to protect its people, stock, and livelihood.

Watch this space — the BEACON web and mobile apps are rolling out to PRIME communities across the six pilot provinces.
