DRRM
(Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Service)
(REFLECTION PAPER)

Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Service or also known as DRRMS is the
application of disaster risk reduction policies and strategies to prevent new disaster risk,
reduce existing disaster risk and manage residual risk, contributing to the strengthening
of resilience and reduction of disaster losses. It mainly aims to prevent and reduce the
disasters, calamities, and other hazards in the society that might harm the Filipino
citizens who are residing in that area. As a Filipino citizen who experience a lot of
calamities and disasters here in the Philippines, it is very important to me to have this
kind of program to lessen the presence of such problems risks to everyone’s life. As we
discussed this topic last Sunday, we’ve gathered a lot of information and ideas that
helps us to fully understand the function and importance of DRRMS. This program is an
important aspect in our society because its presence will help us to manage efficiently
the resources and responsibilities of this program to the Filipino citizens in order to support
their needs when they are affected by such calamities or hazards in the society. DRRMS
will also help us in lessening the impact of the disaster which it involves a well-planned
plan of action so we can make effective efforts to reduce the dangers caused by the
disaster to a minimum. Most importantly, one must understand that disaster management
does not necessarily eliminate the threat completely but it decreases the impact of the
disaster. It focuses on formulating specific plans to do so. Thus, in order to minimize the
possible impact of the calamities in our life, we must also do some action like planting
trees to reduce the possibilities of floods and not throwing garbage to drainages. Those
simple actions can give a big impact to us. Hence, we must take care of our habitat to
enjoy its benefits to us not its calamities.
