Module 8 Field Manual Initial Revised

This field manual provides guidelines for Minimum Disaster Management (MDM) at the local level for pre-, during, and post-disaster situations. It outlines the objectives, purpose, features, intended users, and transition from disaster response to recovery. The manual describes the MDM cluster components and management of dead persons. It also provides guidance on facilities for the dead and missing, reporting casualties, and handling dangerous communicable diseases. The overall aim is to strengthen coordination between agencies responding to disasters and ensure timely and well-coordinated MDM operations.

Purpose of MDM

● Policies, standards and guidelines;

strengthen coordination and collaboration between and among
partner agencies and stakeholders who take part in disaster
response, in general, and MDM, in particular, to ensure timely
and well- coordinated actions;

Rescue and retrieval (SRR) Cluster for organized search and

Expanded Coverage of Disaster MDM Field Manual


Response and Early Recovery

Assists the LGU in the development of disaster preparedness plan, response plan, including early recovery actions, and identifying the
actions needed to implement a well-coordinated MDM operation.

Pre-Impact Phase Actions during the pre-emergency or pre-disaster stage have been identified in this Manual. This ensures that LGUs are taking the correct
path in preparing for and responding to every threat in their locality. Systems and mechanisms that are needed to be established are also
identified in this Manual. MDM L!STO are progressive actions contingent on particular hazards in the locality.

To ensure that the LGUs will be organized to address all phases of MDM in disaster response, this Manual outlines the actions identified in
managing coordination with other Clusters (particularly the SRR Cluster), dead body management, final arrangements for the dead,
management of missing persons, and necessary interventions for bereaved families.
Impact Phase
Considering the tiered response from all concerned agencies, the LGUs are expected to take on the primary responsibility as disaster first
responders.

One of the most difficult decisions of the MDM team is identifying the start of the early recovery phase. While most of the indicators of early
recovery can be identified by the return to normalcy of the basic services, the bereaved families are bearing the after-effects of loss which
may lead to long-term grief.
Post-Impact Phase
This field manual identifies the social needs of the bereaved families, which includes support systems, educational assistance, legal support,
and other special needs such as psychosocial and mental health services.
