Overview

The Philippines is exposed to various natural and human- induced hazards. In times of
disasters, education is one of the most vulnerable sectors. Disasters often disrupt learning and the
normal operation of schools and DepEd offices; they also threaten and affect both the lives of
learners and personnel, and other educational resources and investments.
The Disasters Risks Reduction and Management Service (DRRMS) takes the lead in
empowering the learners, personnel, schools and offices to ensure safety and learning continuity;
institutionalize Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM), Climate Change Adaptation
(CCA) and Education in Emergencies (EiE) in the scope of work across and within all levels of
depEd; and strengthen the resilience of K-12 education in the context of natural and human
induced hazards.
From among the mentioned factors, the learning environment plays a very vital role in
ensuring that the vision, mission and objectives of the Department of Education. These factors
provide an anchor on the effectiveness of the holistic development of the school. Aside from the
physical attributes of the school, school administrators should also promote that safety and
precaution in case these activities arise inside the school.
The DRMM Awareness Park is designed to achieve awareness of all learners, teachers,
administration, and school staff in terms of safety and be resilient to risks and impacts of
disasters and emergencies arising from natural and human-induced hazards. The importance of
DRMM Awareness Park is to implement the importance of awareness about DRMM program of
the school in terms of safety, proper protocols and the possible precautionary measures to be
conducted.

In year 2010 When Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) was enacted in
the Philippines. The Republic Act 10121 or Philippine DRRM Act of 2010 urges to make risk
reduction a priority both at national and local levels, build awareness and understanding, reduce
the underlying risk factors, and strengthen its four thematic areas – prevention and mitigation,
preparedness, response, and rehabilitation and recovery.

It was a paradigm shift from reactive to proactive approach; investment on prevention,

mitigation, and preparedness rather than depleting resources for response. Aside from more
systematic process, the act is a reminder that DRRM is everyone’s responsibility – not just the
government, not just the members of the DRRM councils but including all stakeholders down to
the grassroot level.

Why include grassroot? Because communities at-risk must actively engaged in the
identification, analysis, treatment, monitoring, and evaluation of disaster risks. And the Local
Government Units (LGUs) are the front-liners or the first line of defense.

With this, we are faced with another reality and that is “resilience” is not an overnight
mission. That once we do it today, we are sure that we will be saved the next day. No, because it
must be a continuous process. That is why readiness initiatives must be regularly implemented.
For instance, the Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) done every three (3)
months.
 The key to efficient and effective disaster risk reduction is to overcommunicate and
overprepare. It is better to overdo preparations than do nothing at all. One more good point is
that disaster preparedness starts at home and its starts within ourselves.Countless times, our
resilience have been tested. Countless times, we recuperate from the wraths of disasters.
Therefore, our preparedness must also be countless.If disasters are the new normal, let
preparedness be a part of our everyday life. We should never be satisfied with one preparedness
measure. Accept the challenge of DRRM and make it as a personal responsibility; surviving,
outlasting the ravages of any hazard, and making our communities resilient are duties of every
Filipino.Let us keep challenging ourselves. Let us continue propagating the message of
empowerment. Let us persevere in raising awareness on disaster risk reduction and management
towards resilience.And if we are to revisit what have transpired in the previous years, we might
perhaps create a long list of unfortunate events that have brought massive destruction and
death.It is a fact that our country is prone to disasters due to our vulnerability and exposure to
natural and human-induced hazards. Geographically, Philippines is located along Pacific Ring of
Fire which makes us prone to seismic activities – earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. We are
also situated within the Pacific Typhoon Belt, that is why the possibility to be hit by 20 to 25
tropical cyclones in a year is very high. 

Natural and human-induced hazards abound in the country, and we cannot ultimately control
natural hazards. In the recent study of the World Risk Index, Philippines is still the third country
at risk.These are facts and this is the “new normal”.Extreme weather events, not to mention
human-induced disasters like the recent Marawi Crisis, are the new normal. These and climate
change are compromising people’s resilience. And of all these ricocheting realities, there is one
we can consider as a myth – with the unique situation we are in, we cannot do anything about it.
This is incorrect because by increasing our capacities, we can address the underlying factors
causing the vulnerabilities and exposures so that the disaster risks can be reduced.  (Franzes Ivy

INNOVATION DISCRIPTION

The DRRM awareness park is a park designed to make our learners knowledgeable in
Disaster preparedness because this particular park is surrounded by the information related on
how to become aware and prepared when the disaster comes, this park has mural painting
composed of ideas related to calamities on what is the best thing to be done before, during and
after the disasters. This park also promoting mental health because we designed the landscape
looks relaxing to enhance mental health awareness.
