Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards (NOAH) Priority, Capacity, Information (A three stage approach to
implementing disaster risk reduction and management at the local level) National agencies involved with
capacity building efforts have to focus on local needs; for capacity building to be (cost) effective, first of all they
need to understand differences in risk profiles between areas. Scarce resources should be invested in those areas
most at risk and in need for assistance.
With increased capacity, local government units can find support from their community for disaster risk reduction
programs. Therefore, local officials need to be professionalized in DRRM. Capacity building can only succeed if:
Information on hazards and risks, legal implementation of the law and DRRM in general is easily accessible. All
information should be available in one place and is standardized by one department. Other departments and
stakeholders use the standardized information in their DRRM work.
a. Science There is an enforcement mechanism in place to ensure local government officials take part in DRRM capacity
Ideas/Concepts building programs and training.
Trainings are repeated regularly to respond to changes of local officials and maintain the community’s awareness.
Trainings are complemented by investments in systems and infrastructure at the local level and efforts to advance
local policies in order to ensure sustainability.

" What do I do to prepare for in coming natural calamities? Which government agencies do I turn to for
information during natural calamities? " Oftentimes, these are the questions worth contemplating. With
these, we need to be knowledgeable with information and resources from the Government (Projects

Given these benefits the national agencies should invest in making information for disaster risk reduction and
management better accessible and available for reuse by both the public and private sectors. The types of
information concerned are products such as hazard maps, geospatial data sets, data services and metadata. These
data can be used for example by local government units to create their own risk maps, by scientific researchers for
generating DRRM knowledge, by engineers advising on new house building sites, by government agencies to

imagination but will be stimulated by the availability of free (geospatial) data.
e. Elaborate Projects and programs include theNational Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan. NDRRMP is a
road map on how DRRM shall contribute to gender-responsive and rights-based sustainable
development. Highlights include:
The need for institutionalizing DRRM policies, structures, coordination mechanisms and
programs with continuing budget appropriation on DRR from national down to local levels.
Thus, several activities will strengthen the capacity of the personnel of national government and the
local government units (LGUs) and partner stakeholders, build the disaster resilience of communities and
institutionalize arrangements and measures for reducing disaster risks, including climate risks.
