Let us pray,

Holy One, You are our comfort and

strength in times of sudden disaster,
crisis or chaos.
Surround us now with your grace and
peace through storm or earthquake,
fire or flood.
By your Spirit, lift up those who have
fallen, sustain those who work to rescue
or rebuild, and fill us with the hope of
your new creation; through Jesus Christ,
our Rock and Redeemer.
Amen.
 MODULE 4.3 : DRR and DRRM
At the end of the module, it is
expected that you can,
 Differentiate DRR and DRRM
 Discuss the key concepts,
principles, and elements of DRR
 Explain the value of each key DRR
and DRRM activities
 Recognize the importance of DRR
on one’s life
 ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:

What is disaster risk

management?
Why do we need to manage
disaster risk?

What is disaster risk reduction?

Why is it better than response?
 Disasters are
unforeseen events
that cannot be
prevented.
 The stress is on
offering emergency
response or
relief.

DRR activities done before disaster
 Building code revision
 Hazard and vulnerability analysis
 Zoning and land use management
 Public awareness and education
 Early warning systems including
forecasting and dessimination of
warnings
 FIVE STEPS OF DRR
Risks identification
Identification of hazards – potential threats are
identified based partly on experience and
records. This is necessary in prioritizing
targets of mitigation measures

Risks analysis
Aims to establish the magnitude and the
likelihood of occurrence of the event
This is necessary in prioritizing
target areas of mitigation measures
 FIVE STEPS OF DRR
Prioritization of risks
This step analyses and identifies priority subjects
( hazards, areas and elements at risk ) requiring
treatment
Treatment of Risks
This stage identifies the cause of the risks, identifies
and evaluates treatment strategies and prepares and
implements treatment plans.
Monitoring and evaluation
Oversees the implementation progress of the disaster
risk management process. This stage also
conducts periodic investigation of progress and
analysis of impact and achievement
 What is Disaster Risk
Reduction Management
( DRRM ) ?
Disaster Risk Reduction Management
( DRRM )

Disaster Management is the entire array

of activities aimed at reducing the
severity of impact of the disaster –
causing event which are undertaken
before, during and after a disaster
 Disaster Risk Reduction
Management( DRRM ) Cycle
Pre – event : Risk assessment
Mitigation or prevention
Preparedness
Syn – event : Emergency response (
rescue, evacuation, relief )
Post – event : Recovery
Rehabilitation
Reconstruction

 Preparedness
 Refers to the programs and activities
which aim to anticipate the
occurrence of disaster, how to
respond to it and how to be ready on
the adverse impacts of disaster
 Involves analysis, planning and
capacitation of people on how to
prepare before the disaster
 Preparedness
 Establishment of early warning system
which is the set of capacities needed to
inform individuals and communities
about hazards
 Key elements:
1. Knowledge of the risk
2. Monitoring, analysis and forecasting of the
hazards
3. Communication or dissemination of alerts
and warnings
4. Local capabilities to respond to the warning
received
 Response
 Refers to the action or assistance
immediately during and after the
disaster
 Focuses on short – term needs
 Evacuation
 Saving people and livelihood
 Immediate assistance
 Assessing damage and loss
 Recovery
 Pertains to ways on how
damages can be restored after
the disaster strikes,
 “ build back better” principle –
measures how to improve
facilities and livelihood
 Mitigation
 Refers to measures which aim to
reduce the frequency, scale,
intensity and impact of hazards
 A long term component of DRRM
 Structural – create new designs of
structures which can stand the impact
of disasters
 Non – structural – focus on raising the
awareness of the community
Why do we need to manage disaster risk ?

The Philippines is exposed to numerous

disasters and hazards due to its
geographical location and geological
situation

There are still threats that make people

vulnerable because of gaps in terms of
knowledge, information,
understanding and capacities
