Activity Title: TRAINING DESIGN ON CBDRRM PLANNING WORKSHOP
Rationale:
The Philippines is one of the most hazard-prone countries in the
world. In most disasters, the locals (family members, neighbors,
barangay officials) are the first and/or only ones to provide aid and
assistance. The people often have no one else to turn to because it
could take hours, even days, for outside help to arrive. Thus, it is
always best to rely on community members and resources to prepare
for hazards and respond to disasters. Such an approach is called
Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
(CBDRRM). CBDRRM is a process in which at-risk communities are
actively engaged in the identification, analysis, treatment, monitoring,
and evaluation of disaster risks in order to reduce the vulnerabilities
and enhance capacities. Through CBDRRM, ordinary community
members are able to collectively reduce disaster risks on their own.
RA 10121 promotes CBDRRM by mandating barangays to
collectively act on their own to address the disaster risks in their
localities. Moreover, it calls for an integrated, coordinated, multi-
sectoral, inter-agency, and community-based approach to disaster
risk reduction. The law allows ordinary people to be involved in the
DRRM activities in their localities. As differentiated from the Basic
Course on DRRM, CBDRRM focuses on the operationalization of
DRRM at the grassroots level.
Objectives:
1. Explain the local disaster situation in connection with the overall
Philippine disaster risk profile;
2. Describe the overview of CBDRRM and its legal bases;
3. Discuss the key steps involved in CBDRRM process;
4. Explain the necessary community and family DRRM mechanisms
before, during, and after a disaster in accordance with the four (4)
thematic areas; and
5. Determine the immediate actions to implement the DRRM plan at the
community level.
