AND MANAGEMENT
Basic Terminologies of Disaster Management
 Disaster
 Hazard
 Risk
 Vulnerability
 Capacity
 Response
 Relief
 Recovery
 Rehabilitation
 Reconstruction
 Development
 Mitigation
 Preparedness
 Prevention
 Disaster Risk Management

 Disaster Risk Reduction- A systematic
approach to identifying, assessing and
reducing the risks of disaster. It aims to
reduce socio-economic vulnerabilities to
disaster as well as dealing with the
environmental and other hazards that
trigger them.
 Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management- The application
of disaster risk reduction policies and
strategies to prevent new disaster risk,
reduce existing disaster
risk and manage residual risk, contributing
to the strengthening of resilience
and reduction of disaster losses.
 Hazard- An agent which has the potential
to cause harm to a vulnerable target.
Hazards can be both natural or human
induced. Sometimes natural hazards such
as floods and a drought can be caused by
human activity.
 Vulnerability- Refers to the inability to
withstand the effects of a
hostile environment. A window of
vulnerability is a time frame within
which defensive measures are diminished,
compromised or lacking.
 Capacity- Refers to all the strengths,
attributes and resources available within a
community, organization or society to
manage and reduce disaster risks and
strengthen resilience.
The National Disaster Preparedness Plan 
The primary goal of preparedness is to avert the
loss of lives and assets due to threats and
emergencies. RA 10121 defines preparedness as
the “knowledge and capacities developed by
governments, professional response and recovery
organizations, communities and individuals
to effectively anticipate, respond to, and recover
from, the impacts of likely, imminent or current
hazard events or conditions.” 
The NDP Plan Objectives: 
To increase level of awareness and enhanced
capacity of communities to anticipate, avoid,
reduce and survive the threats and impacts of all
hazards; 
To increase Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management (DRRM) and Climate Change
Adaptation (CCA) capacity of Local DRRM
Councils, Offices and Operation Centers at all
levels; 
R.A.10121
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 thereof and for other purposes.
Components of DRR and
Management
The provision of emergency services and public
assistance during or immediately after a
disaster in order to save lives, reduce health
impacts, ensure public safety and meet the basic
subsistence needs of the people affected.
  Prevention
 Mitigation
 Adaptation
 Preparedness
POST-EVENT
The recovery task of rehabilitation
and reconstruction begins soon after the
emergency phase has ended and should be
based on pre-existing strategies and policies that
facilitate clear institutional responsibilities for
recovery action and enable public participation.
