What This Module is About

Welcome the Disaster Readiness Risk Reduction (DRRR) module!

The Department of Education (DepED) commits to build a resilient society in times of

hazards and disasters. How can this be possible?

Philippines is regularly experience hazards and disasters. Our country is susceptible

to geological and hydro meteorological hazards because of its location on a hazardous spot
on this planet. It is situated within the western rim of the Pacific ring of Fire which is the
world’s hub of volcanic network and tectonic plates and the western pacific typhoon belt
where the worlds destructive typhoons originate. Hence, it is not surprising that Philippines is
one of the most vulnerable countries in terms of disaster risks and natural hazards among
the 173 countries in the world. These hazards are remarkable with the huge destruction
affected in the country’s economy, environment, livelihood and lives. In this situation,
learners are the most affected, and schools are disrupted. (MindaI. Cabilao-Valencia et., al.)

This module provides basic information and knowledge on disaster readiness and
risk reduction which are significant towards a more meaningful discussions and
interactions. This is aimed in introducing the concept of disaster readiness, risk and
reduction to Senior High School learners. Basic concepts and terminologies will be
presented as we go along the module.

This module contains varied activities that can help you as a Senior High School
become a resilient amidst hazards and disasters. Your journey on this module will develop
your critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

The following are the lessons contained in this module.

1. Survival Kits and Materials for One’s Family and for Public Information and

 What’s New

Preparedness before the disaster is the key to life’s survival. It is important that the
whole family and the community as well is prepared and informed before, during and after
the disaster. During disaster, all resources will be stretched to limit and government respond
to the needs of the affected communities is not immediate due to some limitations. Hence,
preparation should start in every family of a community. Preparedness is the measures
undertaken to prepare people to react appropriately during and after the disaster or
emergency. Regardless of the emergency situation or hazard, the best thing that an
individual can do is to make a plan and prepare the whole family. The advocacy is an
information dissemination through mass media, symposia, and meetings is also an important
factor in disaster preparedness.

The basic steps to make sure that everyone in the family is prepared and informed;
1. Gather information about disasters and hazards that are likely to occur in your
place.
2. Meet the household members and together create a family disaster plan.
3. Discuss how to prepare and respond to emergencies that are most likely to happen
where you live, work and household routines.
4. Identify the responsibilities for each family member and plan to work together.
5. Prepare survival kits and materials for the whole family and for public information
and advocacy.
6. Plan how to work with your neighbour’s and the community for awareness and
advocacy

What is It

Survival kit is a package of basic tools and supplies prepared in advance as an aid to
survival in an emergency. You will need an emergency bag if you have to evacuate.

Activity 1
Direction: In this activity, you are going to make a family disaster preparedness plan. Using
a separate paper, sketch your house and present your plan to the class. Do the following
steps with the presence of all household members.

Materials: pen and paper

Procedure:

1. Discuss which natural and man-made hazards are present around your home,
workplace, school, and daily routines.

2
 2. Discuss how safe your house is and if it can withstand different disaster scenarios.
Talk about whether it is safer to stay inside the house or to evacuate in case a
certain disaster happens.
3. Draw a floor plan of your home and mark-out escapes routes from each room.
4. Also, in the drawing of your house include the information such as the main
electrical box, the gas / LPG and water lines can be turned off in case of
emergency.
5. Discuss and agree on the safest evacuation routes from each room in the house.
Ideally, you should have two separate routes planned from each spot in the house.
Discuss who is responsible for helping family members who need assistance and
how to help them evacuate
6. Discuss ways to make your house more resistant against hazards and what you
can do to prepare your house before a hazard strikes.
7. Map your surroundings. Think from where a hazard may come from the secondary
hazards that might harm you when evacuating or prevent you from evacuating
(large trees and/or electrical lines that could fall, drenches and rivers that could
flood, bridges that be impassable, buildings that could collapse and more).
8. Decide on the best evacuation routes and where to evacuate for each hazard.
Have more than one option for evacuation.
9. Decide where to meet or how to contact each other in case you get separated.
10. Discuss what to do with your pets and/or livestock in case of disaster.
11. Make a list of people and institutions that can help in the event of a disaster. Write
down important phone numbers (fire fighters, police, ambulance, relatives,
neighbors, doctors, utilities, etc.) and make a copy for each family member. Save
the numbers in your cellphones but have them on paper as well.
12. Write down your plan. Make sure each family member is oriented on their
responsibilities, and that there is always someone to back up in case the person is
away.

Some Tips:

 Agree on two meeting points:

 One right outside your house in case of a sudden emergency, such as fire.
 One outside your neighborhood, in case you cannot return home or are asked to
evacuate.
 Practice evacuating from your home and neighborhood twice a year (both on foot
and in a vehicle).
 Include your neighbors in your emergency planning. Maybe you can help each
other in case of an emergency.
 Agree on a relative or friend in a different village or town that you all can contact in
case you lose each other.

 What’s New

Republic Act No. 10121 or the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Act of 2010 (DRRM) is a law which transform the Philippines’ disaster management system
from disaster relief and response towards disaster risk reduction (DRR). It was approved on
May 27, 2010. It repealed Presidential Decree No. 1566 which was enacted way back in
1978.

What is It

Under the Presidential Decree 1566, disaster management focused on the hazard
and impacts of a disaster. It assumed that disasters cannot be avoided. Most of the plans
where government on the provision of relief goods and infrastructures like dikes and flood
control systems. The government’s response to disaster was focused on disaster response.
The national and local governments were reactive to disasters.

The DRRM Acct provides a responsive and proactive manner of addressing disasters
through a framework that:

A. Prioritizes on community level DRRM focusing on the most vulnerable sectors

(i.e., the poor, the sick, people with disabilities, the elderly, women and children)
B. Recognizes the important role and strengths capacities of local communities
C. Ensures broad-based and greater participation form civil Society
D. Addresses root cause of disaster risks

The DRRM Act adopts and adheres to principles and strategies consistent with the
international standards set by the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA). The HFA is a
comprehensive action oriented response to international concern about growing impacts of
disasters on individuals, communities, and national development.

Salient features of DRRM Act include the following:

1. Coherence with international framework

- Adherence to universal norms, principles, and standards of humanitarian assistance
- Good governance through transparency and accountability
- Integrated, coordinated, multi-sectoral, inter-agency, and community- based
approach to disaster risk reduction.

2. Empowerment of Local Government Units (LGUs) and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs)
as key partners in disaster risk reduction
- Integration of DRRM into the educational system
- Establishment of DRRM Fund (DRRMF) at the national and local levels
- Provisions on the declaration of the state of calamity, remedial measures, prohibited
acts and penalties

3. Wider scope of collaboration as mandated in the DRRM Act

- National Government
- Local Government Units
- Civil Society Organizations
- Communities

8
 The President can declare a state of calamity upon the recommendation of the
NDRRMC. The local sanggunian may also declare and lift the state of calamity within their
locality. This is upon the recommendation of the LDRRMC based on the results of the
damage assessment and needs analysis. The executive chief of every government level is
also the head of the Disaster Risks Reduction Management Committee in each level. The
local DRRM fund is not less than 5% of the estimated revenue from regular sources.

The Disaster Risks Reduction Management Committees take the lead in preparing
for, responding to, and recovering from the effects of any disaster according to the criteria
which is based on the affected area in hierarchical manner. The LDRRMCs coordination
starts from the barangay level to city or municipality, provincial level and regional level such
us the Barangay Disaster Committee (BDC), city / municipal DRRMC, provincial DRRMC,
regional DRRMC and national DRRMC respectively.

What’s More
