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.
- Developing and implementing Search, Rescue, and Retrieval (SRR) systems.

- Community-based disaster risk reduction and management (DRRR M) practices:
- Developing and institutionalizing community-based early warning systems (EWS), information sharing, and communication systems.
- Promoting insurance schemes among production and supply sector, and local communities and responders.
Family and Community Disaster Preparedness Plan
- Steps in making a Family Disaster Preparedness Plan:
- 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.
Thematic Area 3: Disaster Response

- Disaster response actions:
- Activating an evacuation system.
- Identifying standard-based relief shelters and sites.
- Establishing temporary learning spaces/areas.
- Conducting quick damage repairs and road clearing operations.
Thematic Area 4: Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery
- Overall agency in-charge: National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA).
- Other agencies involved: OCD, National Housing Authority (NHA), DOH, DPWH, DSWD, and other government agencies.
- Disaster rehabilitation and recovery actions:
- Conducting the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA).
- Coordinating the development of the Strategic Action Plan for disaster-affected areas.
- Identifying the needed assistance and formulating/implementing appropriate programs.
- Identifying and providing suitable and safe relocation sites.
- Designing and constructing disaster-resilient housing.
Additional Actions
- Developing science-based mainstreaming tools for DRRM and CCA.
- Integrating DRRM and CCA into various policies, plans, programs, and projects.
- Developing a joint-work plan of the National DRRM Council (NDRRMC) and Climate Change Commission (CCC) by reviewing DRRM and CCA laws and implementing rules and regulations.
