Topic for the week
II- Motivation Ask the learners if there any existing DRR team
in their barangay. And do this team particularly
do.
III- Instruction/ Delivery The Philippines is highly exposed to natural
hazards because it lies along the Pacific
typhoon Belt and is within the Pacific Ring of
Ring of fire. This is compounded by
uncontrolled settlement in hazard-prone areas,
high poverty rate, failure to implement building
codes and construction standards, and
degradation of forests and coastal resources,
among others.

Disaster Risk Reduction and Management

(DRRM)- related Laws and Policies

The Philippine experiences over the years on

different kinds of disaster urged the government
to come up with legal measures in order to
institutionalize disaster risk reduction and
management in the country. The following
discussion outlines these government measures
that lead to the creation of a national
framework. Programs and projects on DRRM.

NDCC Four Point Action Plan

Wih the current law seen to only focus on
response, the government created the National
Four Point Action Plan in 2005 to spearhead
prevention and mitigation.

In its plan, it continued:

1. Improving forecasting capability of
concerned agencies
2. Engaging the local disaster councils
3. Holding annual disaster consciousness
month in July
4. Formalizing stakeholder partnerships
through memoranda of agreement

Republic Act No. 10121, otherwise known as

the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Act, was enacted in 2010. It is an
act mandated to strengthen disaster
management in the Philippines. It repealed PD.
No 1566 and replaced the NDCC with the
National Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Council (NDRRMC) as the focal
body.

DRR= Related Services, Programs and Projects

The National Disaster Risk reduction and

Management Plan (NDRMP) fulfills the
requirement of RA No 10121 of 2010, which
provides the legal basis for policies ,plans and
programs to deal with disasters. The NDRMP
covers four thematic areas, namely
1. Disaster Prevention and Mitigation
2. Disaster Preparedness
3. Disaster Response
4. Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery

The goals of each thematic area lead to the

attainment of the country’s overall DRRM
vision ,as discussed below

1. Disaster Prevention and Mitigation

Overall responsible agency: Department of
Science and Technology (DOST)

Expected Outcome: Avoid hazards and

mitigate their potential impacts by reducing
vulnerabilities and exposure and enhancing
capacities of communities.

2. Disaster Preparedness
Overall responsible agency Department of
Interior and local Government (DILG)
 Expected Outcome: Establish and
strengthen capacities of communities to
anticipate, cope and recover from the
negative impact of emergency and
occurrences and disasters.

3. Disaster Response
Overall responsible agency: Department of
Social Welfare and Development(DSWD)

Expected Outcome: Provide life

preservation and meet the basic subsistence
needs of affected population based on
acceptable standards during or immediately
after a disaster.

4. Disaster Rehabilitation recovery

Overall responsible agency: National
Economic and Development Authority
(NEDA)

Expected outcome: Restore and improve

facilities, livelihood and living conditions
and organizational capacities of affected
communities, and reduce disaster risk in
accordance with the "buildin“ back better”
principle.

Access to services (Source: Kidlat

Key components of disaster preparedness are:

1. Knowing how to coordinate with the
different government agencies tasked
for disaster risk reduction and
management

emergency services these agencies
provide
The following are the list of these government
agencies, their contact details and the
emergency services they provide.
