BASIC CONCEPTS
Source: DOST-Project NOAH
DISASTER:
• A serious disruption of the functioning of a
community or a society involving
widespread human, material, economic or
environmental losses and impacts, which
exceeds the ability of the affected
community or society to cope using its own
resources.
DISASTER RISK:
• the potential disaster losses in lives, health
status, livelihood, assets and services, which
could occur to a particular community or a
Society over some specified future time
period.
VULNERABILITY:
• the characteristics and circumstances of a
community, system or asset that make it susceptible
to the damaging effects of a hazard.
• Vulnerability may arise from various physical, social,
economic, and environmental factors such as poor
design and construction of buildings, inadequate
protection of assets, lack of public information and
awareness, limited official recognition of risks and
preparedness measures, and disregard for wise
environmental management.
RISK EQUATION:

DISASTER RISK REDUCTION:
• the concept and practice of reducing
disaster risks through systematic efforts to
analyze and manage the causal factors of
disasters, including through reduced
exposures to hazards, lessened vulnerability
of people and property, wise management
of land and the environment, and improved
preparedness for adverse events.
DISASTER RISK REDUCTION & MANAGEMENT
• the systematic process of using
administrative directives, organizations, and
operational skills and capacities to
implement strategies, policies and improved
coping capacities in order to lessen the
adverse impacts of hazards and the
possibility of disaster.
RESILIENCE:
• the ability of a system, community or society
exposed to hazards to resist, absorb,
accommodate and recover from the
effects of a hazard in a timely and efficient
manner, including through the preservation
and restoration of its essential basic
structures and functions

Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
(DRRM) Act of 2010
• Signed on May 27, 2010
• Repealed Presidential Decree 1566 of 1978
that created the National Disaster
Coordinating Council (NDCC)
• This changed from the NDCC to the
National Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Council (NDRRMC) as the
overseeing body
The DRRM Act provides a responsive and proactive manner of
addressing disasters through a framework that:

• Prioritizes on community level DRRM focusing on the most

vulnerable sectors (i.e., the poor, the sick, people with
disabilities, the elderly, women and children)
• Recognizes the important role and strengthens capacities of
local communities
• Ensures broad‐based and greater participation from Civil
Society
• Addresses root causes of disaster risks

PLANNING CONTEXT
DRR Act of the Philippines (RA 10121)
• Formulate and implement a comprehensive and integrated
LDRRMP in accordance with the national, regional and
provincial framework, and policies on disaster risk reduction in
close coordination with the local councils (LDCs) (sec 6)

• Prepare and submit to the local sanggunian through LDRRMC

and the LDC the annual LDRRMO Plan and budget, the
proposed programming of the LDRRMF, other dedicated
disaster risk reduction and management resources, and the
regular funding source/s and budgetary support of the
LDRRMO/BDRRMC (sec 7)
What will guide the DRRM implementation?
National DRRM Framework (NDRRMF)
- principal guide to disaster risk reduction and management efforts in the country

National DRRM Plan (NDRRMP)

The NDRRMP shall be formulated and implemented by the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) (Sec.
3.z and Sec. 9.b). The NDRRMP sets out goals and specific objectives for reducing disaster
risks. This includes:
• a) identification of hazards, vulnerabilities and risks to be managed at the national level;
• b) DRRM approaches and strategies to be applied in managing said hazards and risks;
• c) agency roles, responsibilities and line of authority at all government levels; and,
• d) vertical and horizontal coordination of DRRM in the pre‐disaster and post‐disaster phases.

Local DRRM Plans (LDRRMP)

• The Local DRRM Plan will guide DRRM implementation at the local level. The LDRRMP will
be formulated by the LDRRMOs/BDRRMC in close coordination with the local development
councils. (Sec. 12.c.6)
NATIONAL DISASTER RISKREDUCATION
& MANAGEMENT PLAN (2012-2028)
Philippine DRRM vision
“safer, adaptive and disaster-resilient Filipino
communities toward sustainable development”

It conveys a paradigm shift from reactive to

proactive DRRM wherein men and women have
increased their awareness, understanding on
DRRM with the end in view of increasing people’s
resilience and decreasing their vulnerabilities.
Contents of the NDRRMP
• The NDDRMP goals are to be achieved until
2028 through 14 objectives, 24 outcomes, 56
outputs, 93 activities.The plan details lead
agencies, implementing partners and timelines
under each of the four distinct yet mutually
reinforcing Priority Areas. The long-term goals
targetted by the Priority Areas leads to the
attaining the country’s overall DRRM vision.
It is structured as follows:
• I. Risk profile and state of DRRM in the Philippines
• II. Development policies, challenges and opportunities
• III. The National DRRM Plan Priority areas and long term goals
- Priority projects cross-cutting concerns
- General considerations and planning assumptions
- Timelines Implementing strategies and mechanisms
- Agency leads and implementing partners
- Resource mobilization Monitoring, evaluation and
learning
• IV. Annexes (HFA, PDP, NCCACP, Development of the
NDRRMP, Detailed NDRRMP)
Funding Streams:
At the national and local levels, the following sources can be tapped
to fund the
• 1. General Appropriations Act (GAA) – through the existing budgets
of the national line and government agencies

Activities
• Consultation with the LCE, LDRRMC, and other
stakeholders
• Orientation on DRR and Climate Change
• Review of the Sendai Framework, Philippine DRR
and Climate Change Laws
• Review of the National DRR Plan
• Setting up work plan with timeline
• Preparation of ecological profile and socio
economic, hazards, vulnerability data
• CDRA

Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment (CDRA)

• Risk and vulnerability related information articulated in the climate

and disaster risk assessment (CDRA) hopes to enrich the analysis of
the planning environment. A better understanding of the potential
risks and the vulnerabilities allow decision-makers and stakeholders to
make informed and meaningful decisions in goal formulation,
strategy generation, and land use policy formulation and
development.

• The integration of the results of the CDRA intends to guide the

formulation of a risk-sensitive comprehensive land use plan towards a
safer and resilient human settlements through rationalized location of
people, assets, economic activities, and sustainable management of
resources to effectively manage risks and address the challenges
posed by hazards and climate change.

(Legazpi City DRR-CCA Plan)
• Plan M & E is concerned not with mere project outputs per se, but
with the:

1. effects of the utilization of the outputs produced (project

outcomes)
2. contribution of the outputs to the realization of development
goals (project impacts)
3. determination of impacts of public sector planning interventions
(programs, projects, services and regulatory measures); and
impacts of private sector investments on the local area and
population

• Monitoring and evaluation should be an on-going process and

shall form a very important part of the entire planning cycle and
need not be done separately.
