CONTINGENCY
PLANNING?

4. 4
DEFINITION OF CONTINGENCY PLANNING
Republic Act No. 10121:
“A management process that
analyzes specific potential
events in a state of uncertainty
and establishes response
arrangements in advance to
enable timely, effective and
appropriate responses to such
events and situations.”

5. DEFINITION OF CONTINGENCY PLANNING
IFRC Contingency Planning Guide 2012:
“Aims to prepare an organization to
respond well to an emergency and its
potential humanitarian impact. It involves
anticipating a specific hazard based on
specific events or known risks at local,
national, regional or even global levels
(e.g., earthquakes, floods or disease
outbreaks), and establishing
operational procedures for response,
based on expected resource requirements
and capacity”

6. CONTINGENCY PLAN Salient Features:
 Hazard-specific;
 Flexible, revisited and
updated annually;
 Preparedness plan turns
into response actions
which include alternative
course of actions to
address the gaps in the
preparedness plan

7. WHY
CONTINGENCY
PLANNING?

8. CONTINGENCY PLANNING is
our commitment to the Sendai
Framework for Disaster Risk
Reduction (SFDRR) 2015 - 2030
WHY CONTINGENCY PLANNING?

9. CP is required by RA 10121
Rule 6, Section 4 (3),
Implementing Rules and
Regulations (IRR) :
“The Provincial, City and
Municipal DRRMOs or
BDRRMCs, in coordination with
concerned national agencies
and instrumentalities, shall
facilitate and support risk
assessments and contingency
planning activities at the local
level.”

have more
information ?

As early as

planned when it was
necessary.”
