MODULE 1:

• The Philippine Disaster Context


• Importance of Community-
Based Disaster Risk Reduction
and Management (CBDRRM)
Objectives of Module 1

At the end of module 1, the participants must be able to:

• Describe the hazards/disasters in their locality


and relate these to the overall disaster situation
in the Philippines;

• Define the key concepts needed to understand


and analyze the local and national disaster
situation;

• Discuss the importance of CBDRRM as an


approach to prepare for and respond to the local
and national disaster situation; and

• Explain the legal bases (Republic Act No. 10121


and Republic Act No. 9729) upon which CBDRRM
endeavors could be anchored.
Topics to be discussed:

 IMPORTANT POINTS

Our disaster timeline shows us


the (1) extent of our community’s
worst experience; (2) sectors and
areas with limited capacities to
prepare for and respond if a
similar event occurs.
1. Local and National Disaster Situation

Group Exercise 1-1: TIME LINE

 IMPORTANT POINTS
Knowing our worst experience
and limitations will help us
prepare should a hazard of
similar intensity occur. It can also
help us prepare for the worst
case scenario (worse than the
worst experience identified in the
timeline).

life or injury, property damage,
social and economic disruption, or
environmental degradation

Disaster
Happens when there is a serious

which exceed the ability of the
affected community or society to
cope using its own resources

it susceptible to the damaging effects of
a hazard

density (over population, congestion) of a
community that “exposes” it to hazards
