NARRATIVE REPORT ON DISASTER RISK REDUCTION

MANAGEMENT (DRRM)
SY2021-2022
I. INTRODUCTION
A long time ago, people believed that accidents and other unfortunate events are
the workings of a supernatural being that is beyond their control. But today, we know
better than to wait for disaster to strike us. Over the years, people learned that disaster
can be prevented with proper knowledge and preparation. This concept gave rise to
Disaster Risk Reduction Management which aims to remove or minimize hazardous
incidences, lessen unnecessary actions, and disseminate relevant information. But
unfortunately, life-threatening accidents arising from untoward incidents are as common
now as it was before. A good reason for this could be the fact that not all are well-
informed and some may still be stuck with notion that disasters are the wrath of some
gods. The most vulnerable to the said disasters are the children and the elderly for they
are prone to miscalculations and sadly, their survival rate is left to chance.
Being the seeds that will continue the next generation, it is a must for pupils to
learn by heart the proper and logical way of acting when faced with disasters. This could
not only assure their own safety but could also help their families be well-informed.
Children early in their elementary years should be subjected to regular safety drills in
order to make surviving disasters second nature.
This report is made in order to keep track of the development of disaster risk
reduction in Pisan Elementary School through participating in hazard detection and
removal activities and regular earthquake drills. This report also notes the difficulties
met in the said endeavors and the proposed ways to alleviate their chances in the
future.
II. OBJECTIVE/S
The conduct of DRRM activities primarily aims to:
1. Educate the learners, teachers, and stakeholders on Disaster Risk Reduction

Management.
2. Capacitate the learners, teachers, and stakeholders on disaster preparedness
before, during, and after natural or man-made calamities.
III. ACCOMPLISHMENTS/ACTIVITIES
Keeping the pupils out of harm’s way and preventing untoward incidents is quite
laborious, but these efforts is no match to the lives that will be saved and the peace of
mind that will be brought about by applying these measures. And these can be
summarized into three simple steps: inform, remove risks, prevent danger.
Following this concept, Pisan Elementary School, involved their pupils in

identifying hazardous areas in the school premises in order for them stay away from
those identified areas and to learn what is hazardous and what is not. Relevant
signages were also posted for additional information. With the guidance of the teachers,
pupils were also subjected to careful removal of hazardous materials such as nails,
splintery wood, broken glass and many more. Regular earthquake drills were also done
in order to prepare and prevent inconvenient incidents that may arise during natural
disasters.
IV. PROBLEMS
Unlike lessons, maturity cannot be taught; that is why some pupils aren’t
internalizing the importance of preventing hazards and doing drills. But in place of
maturity, these pupils can last through survival instincts paired with good judgment that
can be achieved by repetitively subjecting them in lectures and drills that ensures
safety.
V. RECOMMENDATIONS
Due to some problems met during the carrying out of the above mentioned
activities recommendations are as follows:
First, establishing of perimeter fence around the school premises to stop pupils
from going across the school premises and into the identified hazardous area.
Then, posting of functional signages and information about natural disasters and
appropriate reaction to each disaster including escape routes during earthquake drills
and useful contact numbers in cases of emergency, and it should be done per
classroom.
