1. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
AND MANAGEMENT

2. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION (DRR)
The concept and practice of analysis and
management of the causes of disasters, through
reducing exposure to hazards, lessening vulnerability
, wise management of the environment, and
improved preparedness for adverse events, to reduce
disaster risk.

3. KEYCONCEPTOFDRR
• Disaster risk reduction is a matter of decision
• Disaster risk reduction is about choices
• Disaster risk reduction is everyone’s business

4. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION IS
A MATTER OF DECISION
Each decision and action people make are
determinants as to whether they are
vulnerable to disaster or more resilience to
them.

5. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION IS
ABOUT CHOICES
Reducing exposure to hazards, lessening
vulnerability of people and property, wise
management of land and the environment , and
improving preparedness and early warning for
adverse events are all example of disaster risk
reduction.

6. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION IS
EVERYONE’S BUSINESS
Disaster risk reduction involves everyone in
society, government, and various sectors
working together to minimize the impact of
disasters and promote sustainable development.

7. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DRR
• Development can either increase or decrease disaster risk
• Disaster risk reduction policy, laws and regulations will
not save lives unless correctly implemented in
communities
• The “community” is the front of disaster risk
management

8. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DRR
• DRR cut across all categories of human activity
• disaster risk reduction at the national, provincial,
and community level takes a long time to achieve
• DRR must be normal part of the decentralized
development process

9. ELEMENTSOFDRR
1.Disaster Risk Reduction Continuum
2.Immediate Disaster Response
3.Post Disaster to Continuum

10. 1. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
CONTINUUM
• ONGOING DEVELOPMENT CTIVITIES - Ongoing drm aspects in
different development program
• RISK ASSESSMENT - Diagnostic process to identify the risks that a
community faces
• PREVENTION- Activities to avoid the adverse impact of hazard
• MITIGATION- Structural/Non-structural measures undertaken to limit
the adverse impact

11. • PREPAREDNESS- Activities and measures taken in
advance to ensure effective response
• EARLY WARNING- Provision of timely and effective
information to avoid or reduce risk

12. 2. Immediate Disaster Response
• EVACUATION- Temporary mass departure of people and property from
threatened locations
• SAVING PEOPLE AND LIVELIHOODS- Protection of people and
livelihoods during emergency
• IMMEDIATE ASSISSTANCE- Provision of assistance during or
immediate after disaster
• ASSESSING DAMAGE AND LOSS- Information about impact on assets
and loss production

13. 3. POST DISASTER TO CONTINUUM
• Ongoing Assistance- Continued assistance until a
certain level of recovery
• Recovery- Actions taken after a disaster with a view
to restoring infracture and services
• Reconstruction-Actions taken after disaster to
ensure resettlement/relocation

14. • Economic and social recovery-Measures taken to
normalize the economy and societal living
• Ongoing development activity- Continued actions
of development program
• Risk Assessment- Diagnostic process to identify
new risks that communities may again face.

15. IMPORTANCE OF DRR
1. Identification, assessment, and monitor disaster risks and improve early
warning systems.
2. The reduction of underlying risk factors
3. Utilization and application of knowledge, innovation, and education to
establish a culture of safety and resilience at all levels.
4. To intensify disaster preparedness for effective response and recovery at all
levels, from national down to local levels.

16. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND
MANAGEMENT
The systematic process of using all available manpower and resources to
implement various methods to lessen the impacts of hazards and the likelihood
of a disaster

17. PRINCIPLE OF DRR AND
MANAGEMENT
• Disaster management is the responsibility of all spheres of government.
• Disaster management should use resources that exist for a day-to-day purpose.
• Organizations should function s an extension of their core business.
• Individuals are responsible for their own safety.
• Disaster management planning should focus on large-scale events.
• Disaster management planning should recognize the difference between incidents and
disasters.
• Disaster management operational arrangement must recognize the involvement and
potentional role of non-government agencies.

CONTINUUM
•Ongoing development activities - Ongoing
DRM aspects in different development
programs.

• Saving people and livelihoods- Protection of people and livelihoods during
emergency
• Immediate assistance - Provision of assistance during or immediately after
disaster
• Assessing damage and loss - Information about impact on assets and loss to
production

23. 3. POST DISASTER TO CONTINUUM
• Ongoing assistance - Continued assistance until a certain level of
recovery
• Recovery Actions taken after a disaster with a view to restoring
infrastructure and services
• Reconstruction - Actions taken after a disaster to ensure
resettlement/ relocation
