Laws Related to Disaster Reduction
and Management Awareness
Philippine Disaster Reduction and
Management Act (RA 10121)
The Act shifted the policy environment and
the way the country deals with disasters from
mere response to preparedness. RA 10121
provides a comprehensive, all-hazard, multi-
sectoral, inter-agency, and community-based
approach to disaster risk management
through the formulation of the National
Disaster Risk Management Framework.
 RA 10121 also recognises local risk
patterns and trends and decentralisation
of resources and responsibilities and thus
encourages the participation of NGOs,
private sectors, community-based
organisations, and community members
in disaster management.
 State of Emergency
A state of emergency is a situation in which a government is
empowered to perform actions that it would normally not be
permitted to do. A government can declare such a state during a
disaster, civil unrest, or armed conflict. Such declarations alert
citizens to change their normal behavior and orders government
agencies to implement emergency plans. Justitium is its
equivalent in Roman law—a concept in which the senate could
put forward a final decree (senatus consultum ultimum) that was
not subject to dispute.
States of emergency can also be used as a rationale or pretext for
suspending rights and freedoms guaranteed under a
country's constitution or basic law. The procedure for and
legality of doing so vary by country.

The procedure for and legality of

 Republic Act No. 10639

Last June 20, 2014, President Aquino signed into

law Republic Act No. 10639 otherwise known as the
Free Mobile Disaster Alerts Act. Behind the
enactment of this law is the State policy of protecting
its citizenry in the event of natural or man-made
disasters and calamities.
The main thrust of the law is to require mobile phone
service provider or telecommunication companies to
send out alerts in the event of an impending tropical
storm, typhoon, tsunami or other calamity.
 Youth Roles during
Calamities
By involving youth in disaster preparedness
and recovery efforts, youth-serving
agencies can help to not only increase
youths’ awareness of particular hazards, but
can also enhance the chance that they
openly discuss how to adequately protect
their families and loved ones and
understand how to seek help should their
community be affected.
 Youth Roles during
Calamities
Youth can play a range of roles in youth
preparedness programs and play a
crucial role in recovery efforts. They
may assist communities in mapping
their risk and protective factors or may
hold leadership positions within
programs. Some additional roles
include:
 Youth Roles during
Calamities
•Sharing the message: Youth can help share the
message of disaster preparedness 2

•Acting as change makers: Youth can act as

change makers by sharing information they
learned in youth preparedness programs and
helping parents and communities to prepare for
disaster, for example by developing a disaster plan
or disaster preparation kit.
•Bringing creativity: Youth can bring creative and
resourceful ideas to disaster preparedness efforts
