Study Notes

Disaster Management

Disaster management consists of people, property, services, livelihood, and environment capacity.
It is the combination of all strengths, attributes, and resources available within an organization, community, or society to manage and reduce disaster risks and strengthen resilience.

Disaster Risk Reduction

Disaster risk reduction involves assessing, controlling, and identifying risk, and reviewing emergency preparedness.
It includes measures to avoid existing and new disaster risks.

Prevention and Mitigation

Prevention involves measures to avoid existing and new disaster risks.
Mitigation involves lessening or minimizing the adverse impacts of a hazardous event.

Emergency and Disaster Preparedness Plan

An emergency and disaster preparedness plan is a formal plan of action, usually written, for coordination during the event of a disaster within the institution or surrounding community.
It is an important tool in the process of building capacity.

Phases of Disaster Response

Phase 1: Assessing the local terrain conducive to disaster formation, local industry, and available personnel and local agencies for disaster interventions.
Phase 2: Diagnosing community disaster threats, including determining actual and potential disaster threats.
Phase 3: Community disaster planning, including developing a disaster plan to prevent or deal with identified disaster threats.
Phase 4: Implementing the disaster plan, focusing on primary intervention activities, and evaluating the effectiveness of the disaster plan.

Phases of Disaster Management

Phase 1: Preparation, including threat assessment, resource assessment and acquisition, inter- and intra-jurisdictional cooperation, drills, and exercises.
Phase 2: Disaster preparedness program and plan, including examples such as volcanoes, tsunamis, typhoons, civil unrest, chemicals, drought, wildfires, and pandemics.
Phase 3: Response, including provision of emergency services and public assistance during or immediately after a disaster.
Phase 4: Recovery, including rebuilding and rehabilitation after a disaster.

Health Emergency Management

The Health Emergency Management Bureau (HEM) is the current DOH agency responsible for disaster management.
The DOH vision is "Disaster Safety that starts in the hands of the community" and aims to achieve health resilience through the 5K approach.
The 5K approach includes: KAALAMAN (imparting knowledge and assessing risks), KASANAYAN (teaching skills for saving lives), KAHANDAAN (planning, systems development, and exercising), KAGAMITAN (providing technical assistance and augmenting resources), and KAPATIRAN (providing guidance and establishing links).

Hazard

A hazard is a source of danger, potential threat to the public, or a dangerous phenomenon, substance, human activity, or condition that may cause loss of life, injury, or health impacts.
