DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT
INTRODUCTION
A disaster may hit any place at any period of any year. It sees no race, known no culture, and
recognizes no geographical boundaries. It puts lives and properties at risk. While disasters
cannot be prevented to happen, the extent and impact of natural hazards can be reduced and
minimized with proper preparedness and management. Loss of lives and properties can be
then, averted.
Each time a calamity hits your area, how do you feel? Are you confident in dealing with various
calamities or is there a feeling of fear? Do you think we can reduce the supposed risks or
impacts of the disasters? What could be the activities in reducing the risks?
The Disaster Management Cycle describes the process through which emergency managers
prepare for emergencies and disasters, respond to them when they occur, help people and
institutions recover from them, mitigate their effects, reduce risks of loss, and prevent
disasters from occurring.
Republic Act No. 10121 known as the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management (PDRRM) Act of 2010 was signed into law on May 27, 2010. This is an act
strengthening the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management System, providing for the
National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Framework and Institutionalizing the
National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan, appropriating funds therefore and for
other purposes.
