Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction Management Training

RATIONALE

The Philippines is one of the most hazard-prone countries in the world. In most disasters,
the locals (family members, neighbors, barangay officials) are the first and/or only ones to provide
aid and assistance. The people often have no one else to turn to because it could take hours, even
days, for outside to help to aarive. Thus, it is always best to rely on community members and
resources to prepare for hazards and respond to disasters. Such an approach is called Community-
Based Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (CBDRRM). CBDRRM is a process in which at-risk
communities are actively engaged in the identification, analysis, treatment, monitoring, and
evaluation of disaster risks in order to reduce the vulnerabilities and enhance capacities. Through
CBDRRM, ordinary community members are able to collectively reduce disaster risks on their own.

Republic Act 10121, known as Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of
2010, promotes CBDRRM by mandating barangays to collectively act on their own to address the
disaster risks in their localities. Moreover, it calls for an integrated, coordinated, multi-sectoral,
inter-agency, and community-based approach to disaster risk reduction.

OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the training, participants are expected to be able to:

Explain the importance and key concepts of CBDRRM; and the laws supporting it;
Describe and undergo the key steps in the CBDRRM process;
Develop and/or identify the necessary community and family DRRM mechanisms before,
during, and after a disaster; and
Determine the immediate actions to take to fully implement these DRRM mechanisms.
