Who are the most

affected?
Philippines National
Disaster Risk
PNDRRMC
Reduction and
Management Council
• formerly known as the National
Disaster Coordinating Council
(NDCC),

• is a working group of various

government, non-
government, civil sector and
private sector organizations
of the Government of the
Republic of the Philippines

• established by Republic Act

10121 of 2009. It is administered
by the Office of Civil Defense
under the Department of National
Defense.
 The Council is
responsible for
ensuring the
protection and
welfare of the people
during disasters or
emergencies.
 27 May 2010, Republic Act 10121
entitled:

“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”
 Philippine Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Act of 2010

• the law paved the way for a paradigm shift in the country’s
disaster management system from one primarily focused on
response and preparedness for response to
one focused on reducing and managing disaster risks.
BACKGROUND
 The Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) was a global blueprint
for disaster risk reduction efforts with a ten-year plan, adopted
in January 2005 by 168 Member States of the United Nations at
the World Conference on Disaster Reduction. Its overarching
goal was to build resilience of nations and communities to
disasters, by achieving substantive reduction of disaster losses
by 2015 - in lives, and in the social, economic, and
environmental assets of communities and countries. The HFA
offered five areas of priorities for action, guiding principles and
practical means for achieving disaster resilience for vulnerable
communities in the context of sustainable development.
- aims to protect lives, health, livelihoods, ecosystems, cultural
heritage, and critical infrastructure from natural and human
induced hazards over the next 15 years

SFDRR
seeks to bring about “the substantial reduction
of disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods and
health and in the economic, physical, social, cultural
and environmental assets of persons, businesses,
communities and countries.”
 “prevent new and reduce existing disaster
risk through the implementation of integrated and
inclusive economic, structural, legal, social, health,
cultural, educational, environmental, technological,
political and institutional measures that prevent and
reduce hazard exposure and vulnerability to disaster,
increase preparedness for response and recovery,
and thus strengthen resilience.”
 Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk
National Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) 2015–2030

The Philippines
affirmed its commitment to reduce the loss of
lives and assets due to disasters by adopting the
SFDRR.
List of ten (10) DRRM principles that will guide the
implementation of RA 10121 through the Updated
NDRRMP
1. Aligned with the sustainable development agenda
2. Anchored on human right

3. Established link of DRRM, CCA, and sustainable

development
4. Ensure all hazards approach
5. Safeguard inclusivity as well as whole-of government and
whole-of-society approach

6. Guarantee local expression of risk

7. Promote evidence-based and progressive
vulnerability reduction strategies
8. Uphold responsive risk governance with strong
political will, commitment, and leadership

9. Promote community-based DRRM and

development
10. Foster multi-stakeholder partnerships
THEMATIC AREAS
Goals of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management in Health
(DRRM-H)

(1) to provide uninterrupted health services

(2) to avert preventable morbidities and mortalities

(3) to ensure that no outbreak occurs secondary to

disasters
• in line with the Strategic Pillar 2 of the Fourmula One (F1) Plus
for Health

F1 for Health established four major pillars, namely, financing, service delivery, regulation and
governance

"ensures accessibility of essential quality health products and

services at appropriate levels of care even in times of
emergencies and disasters"
 The Department of Health, with the Health
Emergency Management Bureau (HEMB) takes the
lead in the prevention and mitigation, preparedness,
response, recovery and rehabilitation for health
emergencies and disasters.
What is DRRM-H Planning?
 -is a participative process, carefully studying the hazards,
risks, vulnerabilities and capacities of an area.

-it is a systematic, systemic, strategic, evidence-based, and

consultative process to come up with a national, regional,
provincial, city, municipal, barangay, and hospital DRRM-H
Plan and properly implement it to ensure resilient health
systems in these levels of governance
Why conduct DRRM-H Planning?
- optimize disaster prevention and mitigation
opportunities; develop adaptive capacities

-activate response systems in a timely and efficient

manner

-apply the “build back better” principle

-reduce injuries, illnesses, mortalities, health-related

damages and losses
 DRRM-H planning also guides resource acquisition and
allocation in the health system for emergency and disaster
management and enhance networking and coordination with
other health agencies, government organizations and non-
government organizations.
