DISASTER RISK REDUCTION POWEROINT

1. INTRODUCTION
Disasters have devastating consequences. They cause death,
injury, disease, the destruction of property and other assets,
mass displacement, social and economic disruption, loss of
infrastructure and other services, and damage to the
environment. Poor people living in low and middle income
countries have paid a disproportionate price in terms of
human suffering. Their exposure to hazards is exacerbated by
poverty, lack of early warning systems, poor risk governance
and an absence of the civil protection mechanisms that are
taken for granted in high-income countries. However, while
we can’t prevent a hazard from occurring, we can use
disaster risk reduction and management to understand risk
and vulnerability, prevent a hazard from becoming a disaster,
and mitigate its impact by making people more resilient.

2. (Disaster Seminars/Training)
It aims to encourage an exchange of
experience and knowledge and the
creation of networks amongst
disaster managers. It also aims to
improve coordination of disaster
response and the quality and
availability of disaster management
tools.

3. Objective:
To ensure skills and abilities to
analyse potential effects of disasters
and of the strategies and methods
to deliver public health response to
avert these effects.

4. What is the purpose of DRRM?
Disaster risk management is the
application of disaster risk reduction
policies and strategies to prevent new
disaster risk, reduce existing disaster risk
and manage residual risk, contributing
to the strengthening of resilience and
reduction of disaster losses.

5. 3 Major Outcomes Of DRRM to
basic Education
The implementation of DRRM in
basic education is guided by DepEd's
three major outcomes—Access,
Quality and Governance. These set
the program and policy
development agenda of the agency.

6. Why is knowledge is important in disaster?
Preventive measures are needed to anticipate
losses and fatalities from the students.
Disaster knowledge must be applied to
anticipate impacts in disaster-prone areas.
Disaster knowledge can raise awareness and
understanding of disasters in the local

7. What are the 3 P's of disaster management?
3Ps of Effective Emergency Response:
People – Protect your people. They are your
most valued asset.
Perception – Ensure your response aligns
with your number one priority – your people.
Participation – Participate in the
investigation. Protect your interests and
confirm best practices are in place.

8. What are the examples of natural
calamities?
Natural disaster -
Various phenomena like earthquakes,
landslides, volcanic eruptions, floods,
hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, tsunamis,
cyclones, wildfires, and pandemics are all
natural hazards that kill thousands of people
and destroy billions of dollars of habitat and
property each year.

10. What is disaster risk reduction?
Historically, dealing with disasters focused on emergency
response, but towards the end of the 20th century it was
increasingly recognised that disasters are not natural (even if
the associated hazard is) and that it is only by reducing and
managing conditions of hazard, exposure and vulnerability
that we can prevent losses and alleviate the impacts of
disasters. Since we cannot reduce the severity of natural
hazards, the main opportunity for reducing risk lies in
reducing vulnerability and exposure. Reducing these two
components of risk requires identifying and reducing the
underlying drivers of risk,

11. which are particularly related to poor
economic and urban development choices
and practice, degradation of the
environment, poverty and inequality and
climate change, which create and exacerbate
conditions of hazard, exposure and
vulnerability. Addressing these underlying risk
drivers will reduce disaster risk, lessen the
impacts of climate change and, consequently,
maintain the sustainability of development.

12. Disaster risk management involves activities
related to:
Prevention
Activities and measures to avoid existing and
new disaster risks (often less costly than
disaster relief and response). For instance,
relocating exposed people and assets away
from a hazard area. See a related story:
Managed retreat of settlements remains a
tough call even as homes flood and coasts
erode.

13. Disaster risk management involves activities
related to:
Mitigation
The lessening or limitation of the adverse
impacts of hazards and related disasters. For
instance, constructing flood defences,
planting trees to stabilize slopes and
implementing strict land use and building
construction codes.

14. Disaster risk management involves activities
related to:
Transfer
The process of formally or informally shifting
the financial consequences of particular risks
from one party to another whereby a
household, community, enterprise or state
authority will obtain resources from the other
party after a disaster occurs, in exchange for
ongoing or compensatory social or financial
benefits provided to that other party. For

15. Disaster risk management involves activities
related to:
Preparedness
The knowledge and capacities of governments,
professional response and recovery organisations,
communities and individuals to effectively
anticipate, respond to, and recover from the
impacts of likely, imminent or current hazard events
or conditions. For instance, installing early warning
systems, identifying evacuation routes and
preparing emergency supplies.

16. How to Develop a Disaster Plan
1.Assess all risks and threats
2.Reduce or remove those risks
3.Prioritse the collection
4.Establish a disaster response team
5.Establish a support network
6.Collate information for responding to a
potential disaster
7.Collate information for the disaster
recovery plan
8.Train all staff

17. How important is risk management in our
daily life?
Risk management in health and safety is a
great tool for forward-thinking. Not only can
you plan better with a more informed
understanding of risk, but you can also make
quicker decisions across business operations
due to available the data. With more
information, decisions can be made with
more confidence.

18. What is the most important thing in risk
management?
Communication. Good practice in risk
assessment and risk management starts with
communication. Communicating risks
throughout your organization is another
important aspect of Risk Management. Key
risks, or risks that would have a high
organizational impact, are identified and
monitored by all departments.
