linked to DRR to provide accurate and
timely advice to national or local
emergency response organizations and
the general public, through diverse mass
media, particularly radio, landline
communications, SMS (thru text blasts)
and technologies for communication within
rural communities.
An Early Warning System (EWS), as
stated in Sec 3 of R.A. No. 10121, is
defined as a “set of capacities needed to
generate and disseminate timely and
meaningful warning information to enable
individuals, communities and
organizations threatened by a hazard to
prepare and act appropriately and in
sufficient time to reduce the possibility of
harm or loss.”

To ensure that evacuation measures in place
are apt and effective, simulation exercises
must be periodically conducted or
implemented during slow-onset disasters.
10. Established The Evacuation Management System
Evacuation ensures that the rights and dignity of the
Management (EM) affected population of crisis/disasters are
system and resources upheld. To complement the same, sufficient
and appropriate resources should be
available. This includes water access;
toilets/hygiene, safe spaces and sleeping
facilities that ensure the safety of children
and women; PWD and elderly accessibility;
kitchen; evacuation area for farm animals (as
necessary) among others, that is safe from
hazards.
a. Evacuation DSWD-DILG-DOH-DepED JMC No. 1, series

center coordination and management
particularly for LGUs to guide them on how to
manage evacuation centers and on how to
determine opportunities to coordinate,
collaborate and cooperate with other
stakeholders to facilitate the provision of
essential services to victims of disasters.
Evacuation center refers to a safe site,

Permanent evacuation centers are those built
or constructed for the specific purpose of
evacuation during disasters.
Semi-permanent centers may refer to
buildings that are LGU-owned but are at
times used for purposes other than
evacuation pre-disaster e.g., multi-purpose
halls.
Temporary evacuation centers are schools or
child-development centers with which the
LGU sought partnership, to use as temporary
shelters during actual evacuation. MOA is
required in this type of arrangement (Sec 2(a)
of the IRR of R.A. No. 10821).
DSWD-DILG-DOH-DepED JMC No. 1, series
of 2013 also provides for the creation of EC
Management Teams primarily tasked to
organize the evacuees and ensure the
harmonious coordination and collaboration
between Camp management and evacuees.
Possible composition for the ECMT is better
identified prior to the occurrence of disasters
for a more strategic disaster response and
camp management.
