WEEKLY LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETS

Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction, Quarter 2, Week 7

COMMUNITY-BASED DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT

Name: ___________________________________________ Section: ____________________

Most Essential Learning Competencies:

The learners are able to:
• discuss differently community-based practices for managing disaster risk to
specific hazards (DRR11/12-Iig-h-44)
• develop a community preparedness plan (DRR11/12-Iig-h-45)

Learning Objective:
At the end of the lesson, the learners will be able to:
1. identify the four themes in disaster risk reduction management framework that will
help them in creating their own community preparedness plans;
2. make an infographic about Disaster Preparedness Plan by integrating the four (4)
thematic area of DRRR management; and
3. appreciate the importance of creating a Disaster Preparedness Plan.

Key Concepts:
Lesson 1: Best Practices
Good Practices for DRR

In this lecture, two (2) initiatives done in different parts of the world are presented. These are
considered good practices, they provide an indication of the success achieved so far and an idea
of what could be achieved in the future.

Two projects in promoting prevention.

1. Children Assess their Own Vulnerabilities, Plan Risk Reduction (Philippines)
2. Annual “Earthquake and Safety” Drills in all Schools across the Country

CHILDREN ASSESS THEIR OWN VULNERABILITIES, PLAN RISK REDUCTION

(PHILIPPINES)
More than half of the population at risk in the Philippines
is children, yet their specific vulnerabilities, needs and
capacities have not been addressed, nor has their
potential role in disaster risk reduction (DRR) been
recognized. To address this, a project called “Child-
Oriented
Participatory Risk Assessment and Planning” (COPRAP)
was implemented. The project promoted disaster
planning for children through development of tools that
help children identify their own needs, vulnerabilities

and capacities. Subsequently, the community adopted

ANNUAL “EARTHQUAKE AND SAFETY” DRILLS IN ALL SCHOOLS ACROSS THE

COUNTRY
Iran has sought to educate children and youngsters
on disaster preparedness at all school levels on a
national scale, in both urban and rural areas.
“Earthquake and Safety” programs have been carried
out in the country since 1991 by the Iran-based
International Institute of Earthquake Engineering
and Seismology (IIEES), and school safety programs
have been under way since 1996. The Initiative, called
“Earthquake and Safety Drills in Schools”, is part of a
series of activities aimed at protecting people,
especially children, from the impacts of future
earthquakes. The Initiative also involves developing
