Introduction
The Philippines is an
archipelagic nation located in
Southeast Asia, comprising
7,107 islands, spanning 1,850
kms from north to south.
• Total land area – 299,764 sq.
kms.
• Coastlines - 36,000 kilometers,
the longest coastlines in the
world
• Bounded by three large bodies
of water:
on the west and north - by the
South China Sea
on the east - by the Pacific
Ocean
on the south - by the Celebes
Sea and the coastal waters
of Borneo
Topography
•
• Three major island groups:
Luzon - largest island group with
141,000 sq. kms.
Mindanao - second with 102,000 sq.
kms.
Visayas - third with 57,000 sq. kms.
• Luzon is the most mountainous with
extensive valleys and plains running
through its interiors
• Three major mountain ranges in the
area: the Sierra Madre, the Central
Cordillera and the Caraballo
Mountains
• The southern portion of the island
has a dominantly volcanic
topography with ridges and valleys of
gentle slope and generally accordant
drainage
• Active volcanoes such as Mt
Pinatubo, Mayon Volcano and Mt
Bulusan are found in this group of
islands
Large mountainous terrain,
narrow coastal plains and interior
valleys and plains make up the
country’s topography.
Topography
• Visayas Island - located in the central
Philippines, has a severe dissection
of topography due to its exposure to
typhoons from Pacific and torrential
rains
• characterized by mountains and hills
(where peaks reach 900m), river
basins, floodplains, plateaus and
valleys
• Mindanao - has diverse structural
elements and different forms of
physiographic development
including fault block mountains,
volcanic peaks, uplifted plateaus, low
flat basins, a notable fault zone which
also cuts through Luzon and Visayas,
fissure low masses, and incised
valleys and canyons.
• Major mountain ranges: the Eastern
or Pacific Cordillera, the Bukidnon-
Davao Range
Climate
• Tropical marine climate (has high
temperature and warm air currents
flow over its land masses)
• Dominated by two major seasons: wet
and dry seasons
• The summer (southwest) monsoon
brings heavy rains to most of the
archipelago from June to November
• The winter (northeast) monsoon
brings cooler and drier air from
December to May
• Mean annual temperature is 26.6ºC
• 28.3ºC during summer months
Climate
• 25.5ºC during rainy months
• Rainfall is the most important
climatic element in the Philippines.
• Rainfall distribution throughout the
country varies from one region to
another, depending upon the
direction of the moisture-bearing
winds and the location of the
mountain systems.
• Mean annual rainfall varies from 965
to 4,064 millimeters annually
Mabuhay!
Population – 94.01 million
estimated as of July 2009
growth rate 1.96
Filipino – official language
90% of the population are
Christians
80% are Roman Catholics
The Philippines is a newly
industrialized country, with
an economy anchored on
agriculture but with
substantial contributions
from manufacturing, mining,
remittances from overseas
Filipinos, and service
industries such as tourism,
and business process
outsourcing.
RP DISASTER PROFILE
• Situated along two major
tectonic plates of the world –
the EURASIAN and PACIFIC
Plates
• average of 20 quakes per day
• 100 to 200 earthquakes felt
every year
• 90 destructive earthquakes for
the past 400 years
• 300 volcanoes, 22 as active
• 36,289 kms. of coastline
vulnerable to tsunami
Natural Hazards: A Major
Challenge to RP’s Development
Gains
Natural Hazards Setting in the Philippines
• It is located along the typhoon belt on
the North Pacific Basin in the Pacific
where 75 percent of typhoons originate:
- average 20 to 30 typhoons per year, 5 to
7 of which can be destructive
- eastern seaboard is highly exposed to
typhoons with wind speeds of 200
kilometers per hour
- 25 percent of typhoons of such high wind
speeds in the world occur in the
Philippine Area of Responsibility
Natural Hazards: A Major Challenge to RP’s Development Gains
• Annual average casualties due
to natural disasters - 1,002
• Flooding as the topmost
disaster during the last five (5)
years
• From 1970 – 2009, annual
average direct damage to
disasters ranged from PHP 5
Billion to PHP 15 Billion (US
$ 100 Million to US $ 300
Million), indirect and
secondary impacts further
increase this cost
• Cost of direct damage is
equivalent to more than 0.5 %
of the national GDP
• Areas Affected: Twelve (12) Regions in Central, Northern and Southern Luzon
• Casualties:
Dead – 956 persons Missing – 84 Injured – 736
• Severely Affected Population:
9.3 M out of the 43.2 M population in affected regions
• Total Estimated Damage & Losses
- P 206 Billion or USD 4.38 Billion (equivalent to about 2.7% of GDP)
- More than 90% of the damage and losses were suffered by the private sector
- Biggest damage: Housing – P25.5B; Businesses- P22.4B; Transport- P6.5
- Largest Losses: Business- P88.9B; Agriculture- P47.5B; Housing – P8.9B

Philippines Disaster Risk
Reduction and
Management Framework
OCD-NDCC
Evolution of Disaster
Management Framework
• Traditionally, disasters were viewed as
one-off events and responded to by
governments and relief agencies
• The social and economic implications and
causes of disaster events were not well
appreciated
• This view engendered a disaster
management framework that was focused
on DISASTER RESPONSE
The OCD serves as the
operating arm and
secretariat of the NDCC.
- LOI NO.19, S-1972
… has the primary task of
coordinating the activities and
functions of various government
agencies and instrumentalities,
private institutions and civic
organizations for the protection
and preservation of life and
property during emergencies…
