COMMUNITY-BASED

DISASTER RISK
REDUCTION AND
MANAGEMENT
(CBDRRM)
 CBDRRM Includes:

MONITORING
EMERGENCY
AND
PLAN
EVALUATION

EARLY
SURVIVAL
WARNING
KITS
SYSTEMS
CBDRRM Operates because…
 Communities had been perceived
as mere victims whose actions are
irrelevant during stages of disaster.
 It empowers people by recognizing the
value of community and other
organizations.
 The community is an endless pool of
human resources.
 Is your community resilient?
 CBDRRM aims to create a resilient
community which are able to reduce
their vulnerabilities and exposure, and
at the same time enhance their
capacities during and after the disaster.
 You check whether your community possesses a
resilient character if it has:

 A community organization  Physical

 A Disaster Risk Reduction Connectivity
and Disaster Preparedness  Relational
plan Connectivity with
 A community Early local authorities,
Warning System NGOs and etc.

 Trained manpower
 You check whether your community possesses a
resilient character if it has:

 A community Disaster YES NO

Reduction Fund to
implement risk reduction
activities
 Safer house to
withstand local hazards
 Safe source/s livelihoods
Who are the participants of the CBDRRM?
 The bottom line…
 To reduce the community’s exposure
and vulnerability, a community-based
DRRM should involve both
community insiders and outsiders.
 Every individual, family, organization,
business and public service entity within
a community must assume a role in
reducing disaster risk.
 Practice and participation in drills.

 The new disaster
body promises to be
more responsive to
disaster concerns.
 It highlights the
protection of the
people’s
constitutional rights to
life and property.
The creation of the DRRM Law
 RA 10121 gives more emphasis on
disaster risk reduction and identification
of vulnerabilities rather than
concentrating on just disaster
response.

 Reflective questions:
• What do you think is the significance
of improving the risk of handling
communications related to disasters?

• Can you just imagine how many lives

could have been spared if the public
understanding of the nature and
effects of hazards were described
clear and simple?
 Therefore…
• Disaster managers also need to be
well- informed about the various pre-
disaster and post-disaster aspects.
Nature
Impacts Effects
 Therefore…
• The availability of reliable information
on these is critical in making SOUND
DISASTER MANAGEMENT JUDGEMENTS.
