    Study Notes

    Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM)

    • DRRM is critical to social and economic development and must be sustainable for the future.
    • International agreements addressing DRRM include the Hyogo Framework for Action (2005-2015), the Sendai Framework for DRR (2016), and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2015).

    Thematic Area 1: Disaster Prevention and Mitigation

    • Overall agency in-charge: Department of Science and Technology (DOST).
    • Other agencies involved: Office of Civil Defense (OCD), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Department of Finance (DOF), and other government agencies.
    • Community-based practices for managing disaster risks include:
      • Allocating a 5% budget per agency dedicated to DRRM and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA).
      • Activating the Incident Command System (ICS) from the national level down to the local levels.
      • Issuing public advisories based on protocols developed.
      • Activating relief distribution centers.
      • Utilizing DRRM assessment tools.

      • Identify and indicate natural and human-induced hazards that could affect the family/community.
      • Discuss and indicate what to do before, during, and after the disaster for each identified hazard.
      • Identify structural weaknesses of the house and indicate how to fix them in preparation for a disaster.
