1. Why study Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management in NSTP?
● It helps us identify and map local
capacities to cope with these hazards.
Ultimately, the DRRM approach in
NSTP helps us conduct effective
disaster response while reducing risks
that similar disasters will reoccur. It
also ensures that our emergency
response does no harm by replacing or
reinstating critical vulnerabilities, so
that we could be safe in any disasters
that could happen to us and we know
what to do just in case these types of
events happen.

2. As a youth, with the focus of having safer,
adaptive and disaster-resilient Filipino
communities towards sustainable
development, what do you think has to be
given with more emphasis and more funding
from the government? Why?
● In my point of view, the disaster
prevention sector is the side which has to
be given more emphasis and more
funding from the government, because it
emphasizes that through time, resources
invested in disaster prevention,
mitigation, preparedness and climate
change adaptation will be more effective
towards attaining a more sustainable
society. It allows better anticipation of
disasters and better planning to reduce
disaster losses to develop mechanisms
for protection against experiences
which could be overwhelming, it helps
us to maintain balance in our lives
during difficult or stressful situations.
