Community-based disaster risk reduction and management (CBDRRM) involves community participation in disaster preparedness and response. It operates on the principles of empowering local communities and recognizing their valuable resources and role beyond just being victims. Key elements of CBDRRM include emergency plans, early warning systems, monitoring, and survival kits. For a community to be resilient against disasters, it must have organizations in place, trained personnel, emergency plans, early warning systems, and connections to local authorities and organizations. The Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010 (RA 10121) established policies and a governance structure for disaster management led by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council.

SYSTEMS
SURVIVAL
KITS

3. CBDRRM Operates because…
 Communities had been perceived as
mere victims whose actions are
irrelevant during stages of disaster.
 It empowers people by recognizing the
value of community and other
organizations.
 The community is an endless pool of
human resources.

4. Is your community resilient?
 CBDRRM aims to create a resilient
community which are able to reduce
their vulnerabilities and exposure, and
at the same time enhance their
capacities during and after the disaster.

5. You check whether your community possesses a
resilient character if it has:
 A community organization
 A Disaster Risk Reduction
and Disaster Preparedness
plan
 A community Early Warning
System
 Trained manpower
 Physical Connectivity
 Relational Connectivity with
local authorities, NGOs and
etc.
YES NO

6. You check whether your community possesses a
resilient character if it has:
 A community Disaster
Reduction Fund to
implement risk reduction
activities
 Safer house to withstand
local hazards
 Safe source/s livelihoods
YES NO

7. Who are the participants of the CBDRRM?

8. The bottom line…
 To reduce the community’s exposure
and vulnerability, a community-based
DRRM should involve both community
insiders and outsiders.
 Every individual, family, organization,
business and public service entity within
a community must assume a role in
reducing disaster risk.
 Practice and participation in drills.

Management
• a range of activities that contribute
to increasing capacities and
reducing immediate and long-term
vulnerabilities to prevent or at least
minimize damaging impact in a
community

17. We learn from our experiences…
2004 Indian Tsunami which killed 200000 people.

18. Basis of RA 10121
Risk reduction tools are ready for adaptation use.
The Hyogo Framework for action is a critical guide.

21. The creation of the DRRM Law
 The passing of the Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Act (RA
10121) in 2010 created the NDRRMC.
 It was signed into law last May 27, 2010

23. The creation of the DRRM Law
 The new disaster
body promises to be
more responsive to
disaster concerns.
 It highlights the
protection of the
people’s constitutional
rights to life and
property.

24. The creation of the DRRM Law
 RA 10121 gives more emphasis on
disaster risk reduction and identification
of vulnerabilities rather than
concentrating on just disaster response.

national peace and security in
times of peace, wars and
disasters.

NDRRM
framework and
development plan

president on the
status of DRRM in
the country
Ensure multi-
stakeholder
participation
Establish national
early warning and

33. Activation of the DRRMC across the Country
• Barangay Development Council (BDC) – if a
barangay is affected
• City/Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction
Management Council (C/MDRRMC) – if two more
barangays are affected
• Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Council (PDRRMC) if two or more
cities or municipalities are affected
• Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and

34. Activation of the DRRMC across the Country
• National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
(NDRRMC) – if two or more regions are affected

35. Upon activation…
• LGU are the bridges between
national government and the
residents which they
represent.
• They provide the support to
sustain community-based
DRRM initiatives. (RA 10121)

37. Reflective questions:
• What do you think is the significance of
improving the risk of handling
communications related to disasters?
• Can you just imagine how many lives
could have been spared if the public
understanding of the nature and effects
of hazards were described clear and
simple?

38. Therefore…
• Disaster managers also need to be well-
informed about the various pre-disaster
and post-disaster aspects.

39. Therefore…
• The availability of reliable information on
these is critical in making SOUND
DISASTER MANAGEMENT JUDGEMENTS.
