Theme 1: Importance of SMEs The Philippines is being highlighted as one of the rising global markets with a total positive economic outlook, as SMEs continuously increase its significant numbers.

Of these, 91 percent (743,250) were microenterprises, 8.6 percent (70,222) comprised of small firms, and less than one percent (3,287) made up medium-sized companies.

    When a disaster occurs the federal, state, and local governments contact the military for help and support due to the their advantages attached to military operations and response which could benefit in them in manpower with specific qualifications, skills and expertise, strategic and rapid mobilization, updated technology and a variety of equipment (helicopters, aircraft, earth-moving machinery, respirators, medical supplies, power and lighting equipment, under-water capability, etc.) that most emergency organizations are unable to acquire on a moment notice (Kapucu, 2011).

This advantage cut time in half because the structure is already set up without questioning who is doing what or who is in charge.
