Study Notes
Disaster Management in the Philippines
- The Philippines is highly vulnerable to natural disasters due to its location in the Pacific Ring of Fire and typhoon belt. These include earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, typhoons, floods, and landslides.
- Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events.
- The current disaster management law (PD 1566 of 1978) is reactive, focusing on response rather than proactive risk reduction.
- Republic Act 10121 (2010) shifted the approach to proactive disaster risk reduction, management, and recovery. This law emphasizes policies, plans, and actions to mitigate risks.
- The Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act aligns with international standards, aiming to reduce the impact on individuals, communities, and national development.
Disaster Risk Management
- Disaster risk management acknowledges that some hazards are inevitable but seeks to lessen their impact by improving community resilience.
- This approach includes four stages: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.
Disaster Management Continuum
- Mitigation: Reducing the negative consequences of a disaster or the probability of its occurrence.
- Preparedness: Actions taken before a crisis to improve response and readiness.
- Response: Immediate actions after a disaster to protect people and property.
- Recovery: Actions taken after a disaster to restore and resume normal operations.
Key Players in Disaster Management
- Various government agencies play key roles, including the Office of Civil Defense, National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council and others.
Threats to National Security
- Natural threats (earthquakes, typhoons, floods, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis)
- Man-made threats (terrorism, campus violence, kidnapping, sabotage, technological threats)
Disaster Management Cycle
- A phased approach to disaster management, aiming to reduce vulnerability and address the stages of a disaster: preparedness, response, and recovery.
Comprehensive Risk Management Process
- Includes a range of policies, legislative mandates, professional practices, social, and structural adjustments, and risk transfer mechanisms to prevent, reduce, minimize hazard effects.
National Security
- The state or condition where a nation's values (territory, sovereignty, and citizen well-being) are protected and enhanced.
State of Calamity
- A condition declared by the President in widespread devastation due to natural disasters.
Vulnerability
- The susceptibility or resilience of people and communities to hazards based on physical, social and economic factors.
Disaster Management
- An effective and efficient resource utilization system that mitigates disasters and facilitates a return to normalcy and redevelopment.
Flood
- Condition of overflowing water from waterways caused by heavy rain, resulting in water accumulation in low-lying areas.
Hazards
- Natural or human-induced phenomena or activities that pose risks to life, property, and well-being.
Disaster
- Progressive or sudden events causing natural or human-induced hazards, requiring significant community responses.
Calamity
- A situation involving hardships and suffering due to catastrophic events such as food shortages, clothing, or medical care.
Risks
- A traditional approach where disaster measures are regarded as a series of phased actions aimed at reducing vulnerability to cope with disasters.
Disaster Control
- Actions to limit disaster effects by preparing the population before, during, and after a disaster.
Radioactive Fall-out
- Radioactive materials carried by wind from a nuclear detonation.
Role of Government Agencies
- Various government agencies play different roles in disaster coordination and response efforts.
Youth Involvement in CBDRRM
- Community-based disaster risk reduction management (CBDRRM) is an approach to disaster management that involves community members.
- Youth can play important roles in CBDRRM, including leadership, support facilitation, and participation in planning and activities to reduce risk.
