6. Definition:
Disaster risk reduction (DRR) is a systematic
approach to identifying, assessing and reducing
the risks of disaster. It aims to reduce socio-
economic vulnerabilities to disaster as well as
dealing with the environmental and other
hazards that trigger them.

7. Preparation
Before we proceed to the principles to DRR, it is
essential that we first understand what a “disaster”
actually entails. Defining the concepts of Disaster Risk
I. Disaster
II. Risk
III. Hazard
IV. Vulnerability
V. Capacity
8. Definition
Disaster – a serious disruption of
the functioning of a community or
a society involving widespread
human, material, economic or
environmental losses and
impacts, which exceeds the ability
of the affected community or
society to cope using its own
resources.
9. Causes
Disasters are often described as a
result of the combination of several
things: the exposure to a hazard; the
conditions of vulnerability that are
present; and insufficient capacity or
measures to reduce or cope with the
potential negative consequences.
10. Effect
Disaster impacts may include loss of life,
injury, disease and other negative
effects on human, physical, mental and
social well-being, together with damage
to property, destruction of assets, loss
of services, social and economic
disruption and environmental
degradation.
11. Risk
The word “risk” has two connotations:
• concept of chance or possibility on
an event and its negative
consequence (the risk of an accident)
• In technical settings the emphasis is
usually placed on the consequences,
in terms of “potential losses” for
some particular cause, place and
period
12. HAZARD
• Defined as a “dangerous phenomenon,
substance, human activity or condition
that may cause loss of life, injury or
other health impacts, property
damage, loss of livelihoods and
services, social and economic
disruption, or environmental damage”.
Example: open electric cable, unstable
ladder etc.
13. VULNERABILITY
• Defined as the characteristics and
circumstances of a community, system
or asset that make it susceptible to the
damaging effects of a hazard.
Example: low ground elevation, lack of
drainage system, community’s nipa
houses and many more.
14. Capacity
• Defined as the combination of all the
strengths, attributes and resources
available within a community, society
or organization that can be used to
achieve agreed goals.
Example: funds, disaster risk group,
rescue vehicles, clinic and many more.
17. Components of DRR and
Management
Instructor: MICHAEL ANGELO O. CASTRO
18. PRE-EVENT
These are plans and strategies to
be accomplished and stabilized
before a certain disaster strike
19. PRE-EVENT
Mitigation
The lessening or limitation of the adverse impacts of
hazards and related disasters. While the adverse
impacts of hazards often cannot be prevented fully,
their scale or severity can be substantially lessened
by various strategies and actions. Mitigation
measures involve a wide range of elements from
engineering techniques to environmental policies
and even public awareness.
20. PRE-EVENT
Prevention
The outright avoidance of adverse impacts of
hazards and related disasters. Prevention expresses
the concept and intention to completely avoid
potential adverse impacts through action taken in
advance. Can be in the form of proper land use or
using suitable engineering design.
21. PRE-EVENT
Adaptation
The adjustment in natural or human systems in
response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or
their effects, which moderates harm or exploits
beneficial opportunities.
22. PRE-EVENT
Preparedness
The knowledge and capacities developed by
governments, professional response and recovery
organizations, communities and individuals to
effectively anticipate, respond to, and recover from,
the impacts of likely, imminent or current hazard
events or conditions.
23. POST-EVENT
These are plans and strategies to
be accomplished and stabilized
after a certain disaster strike
24. POST-EVENT
Response
The provision of emergency services and public
assistance during or immediately after a disaster in
order to save lives, reduce health impacts, ensure
public safety and meet the basic subsistence needs
of the people affected.
25. POST-EVENT
Recovery
The restoration, and improvement where appropriate, of
facilities, livelihoods and living conditions of disaster-
affected communities, including efforts to reduce disaster
risk factors. The recovery task of rehabilitation and
reconstruction begins soon after the emergency phase
has ended, and should be based on pre-existing
strategies and policies that facilitate clear institutional
responsibilities for recovery action and enable public
participation.
