 DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

Climate change is one of the most immediate and pressing concerns facing the world today.
Over the past several years we have seen increased number and intensity of extreme weather
such as typhoons, hurricanes, heat waves and flooding in many parts of the world. Climate
change has also resulted in the increased incidence of La Nina and El Nino phenomena.

The Philippines because of its location and its being an archipelago is vulnerable to climate
change. Our country is one of the most disaster-prone in the world. The National Disaster
Coordinating Council recorded 523 disasters with total cost of damage of Php 150.071 Billion or
some 37 disasters on the average annually.

The National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) has outlined the Philippine Disaster
Management Framework which covers the areas of Preparedness, Mitigation, Response and
Rehabilitation.

Preparedness
- Pre-disaster actions and measures being undertaken to avert or minimize loss of lives and
properties, such as, but not limited to, community organizing, training, planning, equipping,
stockpiling, hazard mapping and public information and education initiatives.

Mitigation
- measures/programs aimed to minimize the impact of a natural or a man-made hazard on a
community in terms of casualties and damages. Measures may include insuring persons and
property, formulating and enforcing safety regulations, land use planning and zoning, and
building and fire codes. It also includes the construction of infrastructure designed to prevent
disaster from occurring i.e. flood-control drainage, fire lanes etc.

Response
- concerted effort to provide emergency assistance or relief to persons who are victims of
disasters or calamities, and in the restoration of essential public activities and facilities. It
includes the timely receipt and rapid dissemination of warnings to threatened
communities/populations and immediate notification and mobilization of response units.

Rehabilitation
- the process by which the affected communities/areas or damaged public infrastructures
are restored to their normal level or their actual condition prior to the occurrence of the disaster
or calamity.
Community Based Disaster Management

As early as 2002 the Philippine Disaster Management Forum has emerged to advocate the
concept of Community Based Disaster Management (CBDM). The concept of CBDM is
anchored on the understanding that whether a disaster is major or minor, of national or local
proportion, it is the people at the community or village level who suffer most its adverse effects.
They use coping and survival strategies to face and respond to the situation long before outside
help from NGOs or the government arrives. They are interested to protect themselves from the
damage and harm through community-based disaster preparedness and mitigation.

The key elements of CBDM are as follows:

- People Participation
- Priority to vulnerable groups, families and people in the community (elderly, differently-
abled, women and children)
- Risk reduction measures are community-specific
- The aim is to reduce risk by increasing capacities
- Link disaster reduction with development
- Outsiders have supporting and facilitating roles

TRAINING DESCRIPTION

The Basic Orientation on Disaster Management is a 2-day live-out activity

designed to develop the competencies of the members of the newly organized
Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council in conducting
community-based disaster management including risk and vulnerability
assessment, and developing Disaster Preparedness Plans. The orientation also
aims to develop a pool of trainors that will train members of Barangay Disaster
Risk Reduction Management Councils in the preparation of their own Disaster
Preparedness Plans.

The training consists of two modules of lectures and a workshop. The first module
introduces participants to the basics concepts of disaster risk management. The
second module is a discussion on the disaster management cycle and participatory
disaster risk assessment using the Vulnerabilities and Capacities Assessment tools
(VCA). Workshops are conducted on the second day applying the concepts learned
during the lectures and the final output is a draft Municipal Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Plan (MDRRMP).
LEARNING OBJECTIVES

General Objectives

To develop competencies of the members of the Municipal Disaster Risk

Reduction and Management Council (MDRRMC) in conducting disaster risk and
vulnerability assessments and in preparing the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction
and Management Plan (MDRRMP).

Specific Objectives
At the end of the orientation the members of the MDRRMC must be able to:
a. Define disaster risk reduction and management concepts such as disaster,
hazards, risks, vulnerabilities and capacities
b. Understand and discuss the disaster management cycle and its importance to the
security of families and the community.
c. Have the skills needed to gather data for a comprehensive picture of the hazards,
vulnerabilities and capacities present in their localities.
d. as a group, be able to formulate a Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Plan

TRAINING METHODOLOGIES

Lectures, demonstrations and workshops shall be the primary methods. Lectures

will be employed to teach the theoretical part of the training. Demonstration will
be used to teach Geographic Positioning System. Workshops will be used to apply
the VCA tools during risk assessment and during the preparation of the MDRRM
Plan. The training will utilize GPS equipment, spot maps, cadastral maps, and
ecological profiles.
TRAINING OUTPUT

At the end of the two day training it is expected that a pool of trainors will be
created. These trainors will facilitate the preparation of the Local Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Plans in the barangay levels. It is also expected that a
draft MDRRM Plan would have been formulated.

VENUE and SCHEDULE

The training will be held at the Sangguniang Bayan Session Hall, Brgy Poblacion,
Almagro from Tuesday to Wednesday, February 8-9, 2011.
