It is a risk-reduction program designed primarily by and for
the people in certain disaster prone areas.

 STAGES IN CBDRRM PLANNING

STAGE 1:
Prevention and
Mitigation STAGE 3: STAGE 4:
Response Rehabilitation
STAGE 2:
Preparedness
 STAGE 1:
Prevention and Mitigation
These are actions aimed at reducing or eliminating the impact
of future hazard events by avoiding hazard or strengthening
resistance to it.
Sample of Prevention and Mitigation Measures

1. Undertake building inspection and alter

factors which constitute a potential hazard.

2. Install automatic fire detection,

extinguishing systems, and water-sensing
alarms.

3. Inform and educate citizens, elected

officials, and property owners about hazards
and potential ways to mitigate them.
 STAGE 2:
Preparedness

This stage involves actions done in preparation for an upcoming

hazard or disaster.

Emergency Preparedness Activities:

1. Community-Risk Assessments • Hazard Assessment

• Vulnerability Assessment
2. Emergency Preparedness Plan (EPP) • Capacity Assessment

3. Evacuation Drills and Exercises

Hazard Assessment
is done by making a

5. Keep all important documents inside a safety

 STAGE 3:
Response

This stage involves activities that aim to assess the scope and
extent of the damages done by a disaster.
Activities During Disaster:

• Needs Assessment
Food distribution and other non-food relief distribution
First aid services
Water supply sanitation • Loss Assessment
• Damage Assessment Evacuation
Repair of emergency lines Search and rescue
Survey and monitoring structures Evacuation center management
Logistics
 STAGE 4:
Recovery and Rehabilitation
These are actions that are centered on the rehabilitation of damaged facilities
and infrastructures and loss services in order to bring back the order and daily
activities of the affected community/ies.

Activities After Disaster:

• Repair of damaged houses
• Resettlement or relocation
• Animal distribution
• Small rehabilitation project
• Evaluation of EPP
