CONCEPT NOTE

DISASTER RISK REDUCTION MANAGEMENT IN HEALTH

(DRRM-H) INSTITUTIONALIZATION PLANNING WRITESHOP
I. Rationale

Institutionalization of Disaster Risk Reduction Management in Health (DRRM-H) is a vital feature

in building resiliency of health systems. There are four indicators that should be present namely: (1)
DRRM-H plan; (2) organized response teams; (3) health emergency commodities; and (4) functional
operations center.

Through this, sustainability mechanisms are ensured to be in place with appropriate and timely
delivery of essential health services in emergencies and disasters as a result of comprehensive
planning to include the thematic areas, across all levels of governance, utilizing the service delivery
network.

There should be a robust monitoring and evaluation framework with applicable tools and provision
of technical assistance as deemed necessary.

It is therefore important that regional counterparts and managers be fully aware of the DRRM-H
institutionalization, oriented on the DRRM-H planning guide, equipped with resources needed in
disasters & emergencies, given an overview of the monitoring and evaluation framework and tools.
