 National Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Council (NDRRMC)
 Disaster Risk Management (DRM) and
Preparedness
 Aims and Objectives of Disaster
Preparedness
 Importance of DRM
 Disaster Management Cycle : prevention,
preparedness, response and recovery
 Elements of Comprehensive Disaster
Preparedness
 Response Mechanisms and Strategies
 To know the importance of National Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC)
 To identify the activities engaged with by NDRRMC

in relation to Disaster Risk and Management
(DRM) and Preparedness
 Differentiate the disaster management cycle :

prevention, preparedness, response and recovery
 To asses how the disaster affect people and the

communities
 The National Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Council (NDRRMC) is a
working group of various government,
non-government, civil sector and private
sector organizations of the Government of
the Republic of the Philippines to
to address the priority areas such as the
=disaster prevention and mitigation,

=disaster preparedness,
=disaster response,
=rehabilitation and recovery.
 It was established by Republic
Act 10121 of 2010 and
administered by the Office of
Civil Defense (OCD) under
the Department of National
Defense (DND).
 The council is responsible for

ensuring protection and
welfare of the people
during disasters and
emergencies.
 Disaster management aims
to reduce or prevention of the
potential losses from
disasters/hazards
 Preparedness and response so

that prompt and appropriate
assistance to victims of disaster
could be extended , and
 Achieve rapid and effective

recovery.
 To understand disasters, disaster
management, and disaster preparedness
as part of a National Society's mission
 To know the potential scope of disaster

preparedness measures.
 To identify the agencies responsibilities

for disaster management and
programme implementation ;
 To distinguish the strategies and

measures that may be implemented as
part of a preparedness plan
The NDRRMC plans and leads the
guiding activities in the field of
:
 communication and warning
signals,
 Emergency and transportation,
 Evacuation and rescue,
 Engineering, Health and
rehabilitation,
 Public education and auxiliary
services such as fire fighting
and the police in the country.
 Disaster Risk Management is
the application of disaster risk
reduction policies and strategies
to prevent new disaster risk
 Reduce existing disaster risk

and manage residual risk,
contributing to the
strengthening of resilience and
reduction of disaster losses.
 It helps identify and map local capacities to
cope with these hazards.
 The DRM conduct an effective disaster

response while reducing risks that similar
disasters will reoccur. It also ensures that
our emergency response does no harm by
replacing or reinstating critical
vulnerabilities.
 DRM are designed to increase the

resilience of people, communities, society
and systems to resist, absorb,
accommodate and to recover from and
improve well-being in the face of multiple
hazards.
 Disaster preparedness refers
to measures taken to prepare
for and reduce the effects of
disasters.
 That is, to predict and—where

possible—prevent them,
mitigate their impact on
vulnerable populations, and
respond to and effectively
cope with their consequences.
 Disaster preparedness is achieved
partially through readiness
measures that expedite emergency
response, rehabilitation and
recovery and result in rapid, timely
and targeted assistance.
 It is also achieved through

community-based approaches and
activities that build the capacities of
people and communities to cope
with and minimise the effects of a
disaster on their lives
 Disaster preparedness is a continuous and integrated process
resulting from a wide range of activities and resources rather
than from a distinct sectoral activity by itself.
 It requires the contributions of many different areas—ranging

from training and logistics, to health care to institutional
development.
 This could include educating, preparing and supporting local

populations and communities in their everyday efforts to
reduce risks and prepare their own local response
mechanisms to address disaster emergency situations.
 The Hazards, disasters and vulnerability are important to

understand among people in the communities
 Natural disasters are large-
scale geological or
meteorological events that
have the potential to cause
loss of life or property.
These types of disasters include:

 Storms and Hurricane,
 Earthquakes and Wildfires
 Floods and Drought
 Hazardous Materials
 Power service disruption &
blackout
 Nuclear Power Plant and Blast
 Radiological Emergencies
 Chemical threats and Biological
 Cyber attacks and Explosions
 Civil unrest
 A hazard is any object, situation,
or behavior that has the potential
to cause injury, ill health, or
damage to property or the
environment.
 Health and safety hazards exist in

every workplace. Some are easily
identified and corrected, while
others are necessary risks of the
job and must be managed in other
ways (for instance, by using
protective equipment in this time
of pandemic).
 The hazard that leads to
harm such as the :
 Biological Hazards,
Chemical Hazards,
Physical Hazards, Safety
Hazards, Ergonomic
Hazards, and
Psychosocial Hazards.
 Human vulnerability is the
relative lack of capacity of a
person or community to
anticipate, cope with, resist and
recover from the impact of a
hazard.
 Factors that increase human

vulnerability to disasters include
rapid urbanisation, population
growth, and lack of knowledge
about how to effectively resist
the effects of disasters and
poverty.
 1. Hazard, risk and vulnerability assessments
 2. Response mechanisms and strategies
 3. Preparedness plans
 4. Coordination
 5. Information management
 6. Early warning systems
 7. Resource mobilisation
 8. Public education, training, and rehearsals
 9. Community-Based disaster preparedness
 Disaster Risk assessment is a process
to determine the nature and extent of
such risk, by analyzing hazards and
evaluating existing conditions of
vulnerability that together could
potentially harm exposed people,
property, services, livelihoods and
 the environment on which they depend.

In this way, informed decisions can be
made regarding steps to reduce the
impacts of disasters.
 Effective disaster response requires
mutual trust and coordination of
efforts and resources among the
many agencies and people involved
in emergency response.
 Civil Defense and government

emergency structures such as the
fire brigades, health departments
and clinics, Red Crescent/Red Cross
Societies, international agencies,
NGOs and others.
 4.5 Disaster preparedness and response
depend on gathering, analysing and acting on
timely and accurate information :
 before (hazard and early warning
information),
 during (disaster needs assessment) and
 after disasters (progress of post-disaster
recovery).
 The aim of public awareness
and education and training
programmes is to promote an
informed, alert and self-reliant
community, capable of playing
its full part in support of and
in co-operation with
government officials and
others responsible for disaster
management activities.
 Local volunteers, citizens,
organisations and businesses
have an active and important
role to play before, during and
after major emergencies and
disasters.
 This seeks to develop and

implement a locally appropriate
and locally "owned" strategy for
disaster preparedness and risk
reduction.
 Evacuation procedures (including
how to disseminate these
procedures to the public)
 Search and rescue teams

(including plans for training
them)
 Assessment teams (including

plans for training them an
assessment process and
information priorities for an
emergency response )
 •
 Measures to activate special
installations, such as emergency or
mobile hospital facilities
 Procedures for activating distribution
systems
 Preparations for emergency reception
centres and shelters
 Procedures for activating emergency

programs for airports, harbours and
land transport
 Preparations for storing or making

arrangements for rapid acquisition of
emergency relief supplies, equipment ,
and housing
