THE PHILIPPINE
DRRM SYSTEM
• Disaster legislation in the Philippines dates back in
1978, primarily reactive approach to disasters,
focusing heavily on preparedness and response.
• Other relevant legislation for mainstreaming of
disaster risk reduction into development includes
land-use controls and building codes.
• However, building codes are not strictly enforced
and zoning ordinances which are reported to have
been relaxed over time.
• With the approval of the DRRM (Republic Act No.
10121) expect that there would be a paradigm
shift emphasizing disaster management to a
disaster risk management approach, with much
greater importance given to reducing risk.
• The RA was approved on 27 May 2010, and the
Implementing Rules and Regulations was
crafted by the Task Force RA 10121 headed by the
OCD.
• Systematic process of using
administrative decisions,
organization, operational skills and
capacities to implement policies,
strategies and coping capacities of
the society and communities.
• Setting of related goals and
objectives in development and land
use areas.
• It involves the formulation of
strategies and Plans, Programs and
Activities (PPAs)
• Institutionalize Local Disaster Risk Reduction &
Management Office
• Establish Early Warning System
• Formulation of Communication Protocol
• Formulation of Evacuation Procedures at the
community level and establishments
• Organize Local DRRMC and define the functional
roles and responsibilities of the members and
task units
• Establish Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
• Hazard awareness through Community-Based
trainings and seminars
• Integrate disaster risk reduction into the Comprehensive
Land Use Plan (CLUP) and land use planning
• Integrate hazard, risk and vulnerability assessment into
the development plan
• Cluster Approach on Recovery Program
• Good working relationship with Warning Agencies and the
Local Media
• Installation of rain gauges on mountain slopes
• Strengthening of the LGU capabilities on disaster management;
• Updating the hazard profile of all municipalities and to analyze
data on human induced disasters for public safety studies
• Effective flow of communication system to ensure that accurate
flow of information before, during and after disasters
 • Identify, characterize, and
assess threats
• Assess the vulnerability of
critical assets to specific
threats
• Determine the risk (i.e. the
expected consequences of
specific types of attacks on
specific assets)
• Identify ways to reduce those
risks

In the following order: • Prioritize risk reduction

measures based on a strategy
Once risks have been identified and assessed, all techniques to
manage the risk fall into one or more of these four major
categories:
• Avoidance (eliminate, withdraw from the risk area)
• Reduction (optimize resources to mitigate effects )
• Sharing (risk transfer or enroll in insurance)
• Retention (accept, plan - formulate ConPlan, Evac Plan, ICS and
provision of budget)
• A comprehensive disaster risk management strategy,
actively involving stakeholders at all levels of
government as well as the private sector, local
communities and civil society, is required to implement
the legislative framework and to provide coordination
and monitoring mechanisms and arrangements.
• Individual disaster risk reduction actions and programs
need to be located within this strategy, rather than
treated as discrete, individual measures. Moreover, the
strategy needs to indicate specific entry points and
mechanisms for mainstreaming disaster risk reduction
concerns into both the broader development agenda and
the design and implementation of individual development
initiatives.
• Individual line agencies and local governments are legally
responsible for implementing disaster management, as it is still
commonly referred to in department circulars and executive orders,
within their own areas of responsibility. In practice, some LGUs have
yet to even establish their disaster coordinating councils (DCCs),
while those DCCs that have been established vary in quality. In
addition, reflecting Presidential Decree (PD) 1566’s reactive approach
to DCC meetings are commonly held only on an ad hoc basis, in
response to crisis situations, rather than on a more regular basis to
discuss ongoing risk reduction initiatives, and DCCs’ risk reduction
and mainstreaming capacity and capabilities are often very limited.

Philippine Disaster Risk

System, providing for the
National Disaster Risk

Framework, and
Institutionalizing the
Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Plan,
appropriating funds therefor
and for other purposes
(DRRM Act 2010)
• The law which
transforms the
Philippines’ Disaster
Management System
from Disaster Relief and
Response towards
Disaster Risk Reduction.
The enactment of the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Act of 2010 (also known as Republic Act 10121),
aims to achieve a paradigm shift from reactive to proactive
approach in disaster risk reduction and management.
• One of the main objectives of Disaster Preparedness
it to “Enhance the community with the necessary
skills to cope with the negative impacts of a disaster”.
• The state of readiness for PDRRMC, MDRRMC and
CDRRMC is greatly determines the extent to which
potential casualties and damages can be reduced.
In any major situation, there are three (3) critical
issues that usually arise, namely:
•Time Constraint
•Enormous Needs
•Coordination
• Warn people
• Evacuate the people
• Save lives
• Casualties
o Injured
o Dead
o Missing
• Impending hazards
