The document outlines key Philippine laws and policies related to disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM). It discusses Presidential Decree No. 1566 from 1978 which created the National Disaster Coordinating Council and mandated local DRRM funding. It also covers Republic Acts 8185 and 10121 which further strengthened DRRM and shifted focus to prevention and mitigation. Major DRRM programs and services are explained, including Project NOAH, the Philippines' primary DRRM program led by DOST to enhance hazard maps using advanced technologies.

1. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM
THE STATE AND THE
CITIZENS.

2. OBJECTIVES

3. OBJECTIVES:
1. EXPLAIN THE DRR RELATED LAWS AND

• IN 1978, FORMER PRESIDENT MARCOS MANDATED PRESIDENTIAL DECREE
NO.1566 TO STRENGTHEN THE PHILIPPINE DISASTER CONTROL.

RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT
(DRRM)
• Project NOAH (Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards.)
-Is the Philippine’s primary disaster risk reduction and
management program under the Department of Science and
Technology (DOST) and its attached agencies, and the University
of the Philippines.
-It was a response to President Benigno Aquino III‘s call on
a better disaster prevention and mitigation system in the Philippines.
And was publicly launched on July, 6 2012.

19. PROJECT NOAH (NATIONWIDE
OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT OF HAZARDS)
The project uses advanced technologies to enhance current geo-hazard
vulnerability maps. It is also developed with the help of the National Institute
of Geological Science and the College of Engineering of the University of
the Philippines, Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical
Services Administration (PAGASA), Philippine Institute of Volcanology
and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), Advanced Science and Technology Institute
(ASTI) and the Science and Technology Information Institute (STI).
The project is now composed of 21 institutions from local and private
sectors including media and telecommunication companies.

20. PROJECT NOAH (NATIONWIDE
OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT OF HAZARDS)
The program include 6 major components describes as follows:
• Distribution of Hydrometeorical devices such as automated rain gauges and
water level monitoring stations in major river basins and flood prone areas.
• Development of a Three-Dimensional flood inundation and hazards maps.
• Storm surge assessment and mitigation.
• A food center.
• Local development and operation od Doppler radar systems and landslide
sensors.
• The use of television and web portal to display real-time weather conditions.
