INTRODUCTION
TO RDANA
MODULE OBJECTIVES

1. Define RDANA
2. Explain the rational and legal basis of RDANA
3. Identify the factors to consider in RDANA
4. Establish the linkage of RDANA to the Philippines
DRRM Systems
5. Define keys to a successful RDANA
RDANA
- used immediately during the early and critical
state of onset of a disaster.
- Identifies magnitude
- Determines immediate relief and response
requirements
DAMAGE ASSESSMENT
- Depicts the picture of the situation;
describes the disaster’s magnitude
impact to the population
- Answers the “What has happened?”
question
NEEDS ANALYSIS
- Determines the level and type of
assistance required by the affected
population
- Answers the “What needs to be
done?” question
WHAT HAS HAPPENED? WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE?

 LEGAL BASIS
Section 9, Powers, and
Functions of OCD under RA
10121

OCD shall “Formulate standard operating

procedures for the deployment of rapid
assessment teams, information sharing among
different government agencies, and
coordination before and after disasters at all
levels.”
 LEGAL BASIS Section 3, Rule 4, IRR of
RA 10121

The Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and

Management Council (RDRRMC) Chairperson
may tap the facilities and resources of other
government agencies and private sectors, for
the protection of life and properties in pursuit
of disaster risk reduction and management.
 LEGAL BASIS Section 3G, Rule 7, IRR of
RA 10121

OCD shall formulate standard operating

procedures (SOPs)for the deployment of
RDANA teams, information sharing among
different government agencies, and
coordination before and after disasters at all
levels.
 LEGAL BASIS Section 4 (21), Rule 6, IRR
of RA 10121

Local Disaster Risk Reduction and

Management Councils (LDRRMCs) shall
establish linkage/network with other LGUs for
disaster risk reduction and emergency response
purposes.
Why Conduct RDANA?

1. To obtain a general overview of the damage in terms of:

• Nature of the disaster/event

• Extent of effects
• Hardest hit areas
• Most affected sectors
• Impact to availability of resources &local response capacity
• Level of continuing or emerging threats
Why Conduct RDANA?

2. To assess the needs and recommend :

• Most urgent response requirements

• Potential methods for delivery of assistance
• Allocation & utilization of critical resources
• Need for detailed assessment of specific geographical areas
or sectors
• Options for relief assistance
• Need for international assistance
OVERVIEW OF PDNA
ELEMENTS &
PROCESS
RDANA Process
Data Collection
• This is the key activity in

RDANA
• It provides a “snapshot” of the disaster
• It is an on- going process
• Looks for patterns & indicators of potential problem

Reporting
• Consolidation of data into one RDANA report
• Report must be brief, straightforward, understandable, and consistent in
format • Recommendations should be realistic

Monitoring Continuing process of re-assessing needs, response and recovery

interventions
Which is more important?

LINKAGE OF RDANA TO OTHER PHILIPPINE DRRM SYSTEMS

Linkage to Resource Allocation: Information on location of damaged

areas, extent and severity helps in allocating critical resources.

Linkage to Contingency Plan: RDANA can serve as basis for activating

the contingency plan into operations plan.

Linkage to Pre-Disaster Risk Assessment: Pre- Disaster Risk

Assessment can provide input on where to possibly conduct RDANA.
Linkage to Emergency Operations Center: RDANA helps provide immediate
situation report assistance to the EOC.

Linkage to the Incident Command System: RDANA can serve as a basis for
the activation of the Incident Command System.

Linkage to Cluster Approach: RDANA contributes to determining the

immediate cluster needs.

Linkage to Post-Disaster Needs Assessment: PDNA report may pick up from

information gathered using RDANA.

KEYS TO A SUCCESSFUL RDANA

• Information has to be accurate & unbiased • Information has to be timely & updated • Focus on what
is needed. • Needs have to be distinguished & classified • Methods, terminologies & classifications must
be standardized • Be sensitive towards the local situation • Results should imply action • Resources for
RDANA have to be immediately available • Interpret important intangible things

Post-Disaster
Needs Assessment
 OVERVIEW

Background
RA 10121 is the overall legal framework that provides holistic and comprehensive approach to
disaster resiliency. It was signed into law on May 10, 2010, which led to the government’s
paradigm shift from a reactive disaster response and coordination to a proactive stance in
DRRM. Specifically, the paradigm shift gave birth to the Disaster Rehabilitation and
Recovery as a thematic area. The goal of Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery is to restore
and improve the facilities, livelihoods, living conditions and organizational capacities of the
affected communities, and reduce disaster risks in accordance with the “build back better”
principle.
 OVERVIEW

To ensure an efficient, effective and well-organized Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery, the
Philippine government begins by conducting an aggregate but detailed assessment of the
disaster impacts and identifying the critical needs of the affected sectors. Such strategy is
particularly achieved thru the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA). PDNA is defined as a
multi-sectoral and multidisciplinary structured approach for assessing disaster impacts and
prioritizing recovery and reconstruction needs. PDNA is led and undertaken by the
government in collaboration with international development partners and even the private
sector.
 To learn more about the overall PDNA
process, the course design for the conduct of
PDNA training is hereby prepared.

General Objective At the end of the training,

the participants will be able to obtain the
knowledge, skills, and attitude required in
the overall conduct of PDNA as fundamental
for the implementation of disaster
rehabilitation and recovery.
