Disaster
Response
Group 3

1
Disaster response refers to the action
taken directly before, during or in the
immediate aftermath of a disaster.

2
Objectives:
to save lives;
ensure health and safety and;
to meet the subsistence needs of
the people affected

2
3
Incident command System (ICS)
ICS provides guidance for how to organize assets
to respond to an incident and processes to
manage the response through its successive
stages. All response assets are organized into five
functional areas: Command, Operations, Planning,
Logistics, and Administration/Finance.
4
5
Incident management
Incident management involves the overall
coordination of resources and activities to
respond to a disaster. It includes establishing
incident command posts, defining roles and
responsibilities, and ensuring effective
communication among response agencies.

6
7
Search and Rescue Operation

Vital for locating and extricating individuals who

are trapped or in distress during a disaster. This
includes efforts to rescue people from collapsed
buildings, flooded areas, or other dangerous
situations.

8
Search and Rescue Operation
Search and rescue is organized in close
cooperation with the community and in a team
approach.

9
The search and rescue activities are undertaken in
two ways;

1. Community local Rescuers

2. Outside Community Resources

10
 Objectives
To rescue the survivors trapped under the debris, from the damaged
buildings or from a cyclonic storm surge, flood, earthquake and fire.
To provide First Aid services to the trapped survivors and to dispatch
them for medical care.
To take immediate necessary actions, as necessary, for temporary
support and protection to endangered collapsed buildings to
structures.
To hand-over, recover and dispose-off the bodies of the deceased.
To train, demonstrate and raise awareness on how to use the local
materials for self rescue amongst the community people.

Medical response and Triage

Medical Response means medical treatment

administered in response to a Medical Emergency
that of necessity requires immediate emergency
medical intervention.
Triage is the sorting of patients according to the
urgency of their need for care.
15
16
Mass Casualty Management
refers to the coordinated response and medical
care provided during incidents or disasters that
result in a large number of casualties. These
incidents can include natural disasters (such as
earthquakes, hurricanes, or tsunamis), industrial
accidents, terrorist attacks, mass shootings, and
pandemics.

Public Warning and Communication
During Disasters

Timely and accurate communication with the

public is crucial during disasters. Emergency
alerts and warnings should be disseminated
through various channels, including sirens, mobile
apps, radio, TV, and social media

20
Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and
Astronomical Services Administration

PAGASA is the government

agency responsible for weather
forecasting, flood monitoring,
and issuing severe weather
warnings.

21
National Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Council

NDRRMC is the lead agency in

disaster management and response
in the Philippines. It coordinates
disaster-related information
dissemination and response
efforts.

22
Personal Notification
Personal notification involves using
emergency personnel to go door-to-
door or to groups of people to deliver
a personal warning message.

23
Loudspeakers and PA Systems
It is feasible to use existing
public address (PA) systems to
notify people in areas which
are covered by such systems.
Portable loudspeakers increase
the speed of warning
populations lacking other means
to receive the warning.

24
Radio
The use of radio as a warning
channel will continue to be a
major practice emergencies.
Often plans for notification and
the use of standardized messages
accelerate the speed at which a
warning can be issued over the
radio.

25
Television
Warnings are also broadcast over
commercial television. This can
be done by interrupting normal
programming or by displaying
scrolled text on the bottom of
the screen.

26
Sirens and Alarms
The technology of siren and
alarm systems is such that an
audible signal could be provided
to most populations at risk,
although it might be expensive
to implement the technology.

27
Signs
Permanent warning signs are
sometimes used to directly
communicate to the public in remote
hazardous areas. These signs often
instruct people about how to
recognize the onset of a hazard and
what to do if one occurs.

28
Social Media and
Website

Government Agency, NGOs, and

concerned citizens share
updates, photos, and videos to
keep people informed.

29
30
Post-disaster damage assessment
Pulls together information into a single,
consolidated report, information on the physical
impacts of a disaster, the economic value of the
damages and losses, the human impacts as
experienced by the affected population, and the
resulting early and long-term recovery needs
and priorities

Restoring Critical Infrastracture
( water, power, transportation)

39
 Critical Infrastructure
Critical infrastructure are those infrastructure
systems and assets that are so vital that their
incapacitation or destruction would have a
debilitating effect on security, the economy, public
health, public safety, or any combination thereof.

- Cybersecurity & Infastructure Security Agency

40
 Critical Infrastructure
Critical infrastructure includes all of the assets,
systems and networks – physical and virtual – that
are essential to the proper functioning of a
society's economy, national public health or
safety, security, or any combination of the above.

-Federal Emergency Management Agency

41
Any threat to these sectors could
have potentially debilitating
national security, economic, and
public health or safety
consequences.
42
water power transportation
43
44
45
46
Critical infrastructure and key resources
(CIKR) should be identified in the
vulnerability assessment process.
Consideration of the impact of community
exposures or hazards will help set pre-event
priorities for restoration or reconstruction.

47
Why is it important to restore critical infrastructure?

During disasters, the continued functioning of all of the Critical

Infrastructure and Systems are key to efficient and effective
mitigation, response and recovery.

Critical Infrastructure and Systems (CIS) are key to Disaster

Recovery. CIS are key to ensuring people receive the help they
need during and immediately after a disaster. Support for any
one of these sectors will help speed recovery in every case.

48
Psychological and Social Support for
Survivors

Disaster survivors often experience trauma, grief,

and mental health challenges as a result of the
disaster. Providing psychological and social support
is crucial for helping individuals and communities
cope and recover.
