LEARNING ACTIVITY: #1
Disaster Risk Reduction And Management (DRRM) concepts, principles and trends

1. What DRRM activities can take place in the school?

We all knew that the DRRM Team and Coordinator were responsible for ensuring
the establishment of an early warning system for each school, conducting annual student-
led risk identification and mapping within and around the school grounds, planning and
implementing disaster preparedness measures, and maintaining the safekeeping of vital
school records.
2. What needs to be done to support these activities?
Raise comprehension of how DRM and DRR are essential to sustainable
development among communities and policymakers; impart knowledge of DRM and
DRR for strategy implementation; build community capacity on DRR and enable them to
bring their concerns to national policy-making bodies; Develop national and local
capacities for mainstreaming and implementing DRM and DRR in the development
process; promote disaster risk reduction through appropriate legislation and action plans
that address governance, risk assessment, knowledge management, vulnerability
reduction, and disaster preparedness.

3. Who needs to be done to support these activities?

We must follow the supplied guidelines in order to assist DRRM's operations.
Identifying and calculating disaster risk. Education and knowledge development DRM
should be included into national development and investment. Children under the age of
18 are the most vulnerable. More over half of those affected or killed in most disasters
are youngsters. Save the Children thinks that, despite their vulnerability, children have
the ability to decrease risks, increase readiness, and act as change agents. Children and
civil society must be involved in disaster risk reduction, readiness, and response
strategies, as well as in defining hazards and the sort of response required to keep their
communities safe.

4. How will communities be involved?

Community engagement has been acknowledged as an important component of
disaster management in order to reverse the global trend of growing disaster frequency
and loss, create a culture of safety and disaster-resilient communities, and assure long-
term development for all. This document covers the characteristics, processes,
components, and benefits of community-based disaster management (CBDM) as
demonstrated by important organizations participating in the Philippine Disaster
Management Forum's excellent practices in community-based preparedness and
mitigation.
