The Local Government Unit of (INSERT NAME) has the constant challenge to make our municipality an
improved one, by making it as a disaster and health resilient community
With the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (MDRRMC), there is a way to educate
and prepare the citizenry to survive the most critical and emerging situation in times of calamity and
emergencies. It would likewise help and enable the community to respond to disasters, providing a
framework for helping at risk persons to avoid or recover from the impact of disaster and emergencies.
More so, with the inclusion and focus of the health aspect, the MDRRMC will have now a more integrated
system that would provide “policies, plans, programs, activities and strategies to reduce health risks due
to disasters and emergencies, improve preparedness for adverse effects and lessen adverse impacts of
hazards to address the needs of affected population with emphasis on the vulnerable groups”.
It is then of utmost importance to strengthen our municipality’s Disaster Risk Reduction Management
Council by establishing and institutionalizing a Disaster Risk Reduction Management in Health and further
improve our service delivery network to make (INSERT NAME) a health resilient municipality, with the
guarantee of providing an uninterrupted delivery of quality health services during disaster and
emergencies.
The Provincial/City/Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management in Health (P/C/MDRRM-H) Plan
of (INSERT NAME) defines the direction of the LGU towards disaster-resilient local health system. This is in
line with the Strategic Pillar 2 of the Fourmula One (F1+) for Health that ensures accessibility of essential
quality health services even in times of emergencies and disasters. It aims to provide uninterrupted
health services in order to avert preventable morbidities and mortalities and ensuring that no outbreaks
will occur secondary to disasters. All will be achieved through the 5K Approach or the Kaligtasang
pangKalusugan sa Kalamidad sa Kamay ng Komunidad (Health Disaster Safety in the Hands of the
Community) and is consistent with National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Framework’s
(NDRRMF) vision of the country to have a safer, adaptive and disaster-resilient Filipino communities
towards sustainable development.
This plan is a product of a participative process that requires the involvement of all relevant stakeholders
and partners in health especially the active involvement of the (INSERT NAME)’s LCE and Local Disaster
Risk Reduction and Management Office to craft, lobby and integrate the DRRM-H Plan to the Local DRRM
Plan gearing towards institutionalization of DRRM-H in the locality.
Furthermore, the plan contains updated vulnerability and risk assessment, a process that tries to
anticipate the possible harm dealt to the LGU and determines the health needs before, during and after
an emergency and/or disaster. Also, etched to it are the disaster risk reduction measures for each of the
four thematic areas: Prevention and Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, Recovery and Rehabilitation. All
these efforts are gearing towards DRRM-H Institutionalization addressing all its four (4) criteria: DRRMH
Plan, Health Emergency Response Teams (HERT), Health Emergency Management Commodities, and a
Functional Operations Center; and all these aspects ensure that all health emergency management
system are in place to carry out the strategies identified towards a resilient local health system and a
proactive disaster-resilient LGU.

HAZARD, VULNERABILITY, AND RISK ASSESSMENT
HAZARD ASSESSMENT
The hazard assessment identifies all possible hazards that can affect the LGU. This also
indicates the areas that may be affected, predicts the vulnerabilities of the areas, and
anticipates the possible consequences or health risks of such hazards in these areas.
In Table 2. Hazard Prioritization Matrix, will determine all possible hazards in the LGU by
computing the total rating from column A to D, minus the rating in E.
HAZARD MAPPING
Hazard Mapping is based on the existing LDRRM Plan (Hazard Maps Section) and/or the existing Health
Hazard Mapping of the PHO/CHO/MHO. The identification of these hazards present in the locality will
help the LGU of __________ anticipate possible health risks that may occur, provide health-related
services, mitigate possible effects of the hazards, and respond efficiently to avert preventable mortalities
and morbidities.
Note: Use updated hazard maps and you can use https://hazardhunter.georisk.gov.ph/
https://www.georisk.gov.ph/ as reference. Please take note where your health facilities located.
Flood-Prone Areas
Earthquake-Induced
Landslide Prone Areas
Ground Shaking
The vulnerability and risk assessment identifies the factors that increase the risks arising from
specific hazard. This process identify vulnerable communities and the expected impact of the
event on these populations. While other hazards may produce a different analysis, there will be
many similarities between vulnerable populations during a typhoon, and those for other events
(such as floods or earthquake).
In Table 4. Vulnerability Assessment Matrix, ascertain the areas at risk for the top hazards and
determine the characteristics of the vulnerable people, properties, services, environment, and
livelihood decreases the ability of the LGU to cope with the hazards.

Public Health-Recovery and Rehabilitation Plan: Standard Operating Procedures specifies activities to
restore services and replace damaged facilities post disaster. The post-incident evaluation post event shall
be used to prepare this section and re-evaluate the strategies and activities done to ensure disaster health
resiliency. The Recovery and reconstruction covers the return of health services to pre-disaster status, or
advancement to a better level of access and performance. A Recovery and Reconstruction Plan includes
the following activities but not limited to:
Feedback mechanisms are important aspects of performance targets and learning from the experiences on
the ground. This plan, being a long term engagement of the municipality in disaster management can
outlast political terms, administrations at the municipal and barangay level. Thus this plan needs to be
constantly reviewed in terms of its relevance and impact on the changing situations in the
Province/City/Municipality of ____________________.
Monitoring and Evaluation are most essential component of result based planning in LDRRM. This will
ensure that the plan’s implementation is sufficient to meet objectives and goals set per thematic areas.
This will be a guide to the council for the improvement and sustenance of programs and projects in the
Plan so that the goals and objectives will be fully met.
The monitoring and evaluation that will be employed in this plan will be using an objective based indicator
to determine if objectives per thematic are met or not. As regards to the specific projects and activities, the
output indicator in the plan proper will be used as indication for the fulfillment, partial fulfillment of not
fulfillment of such activities or projects.
Reporting will be a major tool in the conduct of monitoring and evaluation as such the following table will
show the steps for the Monitoring and Evaluation.
The external monitoring and evaluation activity shall be done annually together with the PHO, Provincial
DOH Office and the Regional Office using the prescribed monitoring and evaluation tools to assess the
progress of the DRRMH Institutionalisation status of the LGU. The same monitoring and evaluation tool
shall be used for internal monitoring and evaluation. A table top drill designed by the Regional HEM Office
shall commence every updating to assess the practicality of the plan conducted by the provincial health
office (if at the municipal level), and the DOH-HEMS Regional Office to Provincial Health Office.
Furthermore, response to actual emergencies and disasters tests the practicability of the DRRM-H Plan and
gives insights on different lessons learned that will further improve the health systems even post
disasters/emergencies.
