Course Overview:
Post-Disaster Needs Assessment

Background

RA 10121 is the overall legal framework that provides holistic and comprehensive
approach to disaster resiliency. It was signed into law on May 10, 2010, which led to
the government’s paradigm shift from a reactive disaster response and coordination
to a proactive stance in DRRM. Specifically, the paradigm shift gave birth to the
Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery as a thematic area. The goal of Disaster
Rehabilitation and Recovery is to restore and improve the facilities, livelihoods, living
conditions and organizational capacities of the affected communities, and reduce
disaster risks in accordance with the “build back better” principle.

To ensure an efficient, effective and well-organized Disaster Rehabilitation and


Recovery, the Philippine government begins by conducting an aggregate but
detailed assessment of the disaster impacts and identifying the critical needs of the
affected sectors. Such strategy is particularly achieved thru the Post-Disaster Needs
Assessment (PDNA). PDNA is defined as a multi-sectoral and multidisciplinary
structured approach for assessing disaster impacts and prioritizing recovery and
reconstruction needs. PDNA is led and undertaken by the government in
collaboration with international development partners and even the private sector.

To learn more about the overall PDNA process, the course design for the conduct of
PDNA training is hereby prepared.

Course Objectives

General Objective
At the end of the training, the participants will be able to obtain the knowledge, skills,
and attitude required in the overall conduct of PDNA as fundamental for the
implementation of disaster rehabilitation and recovery.

Specific Objectives
Upon completion of the training, the participants will be able to:

1. Discuss the overview of PDNA, its background and general principles;


2. Explain the key terminologies used in PDNA;
3. Describe the function of Damage and Loss Assessment in PDNA;
Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Training Course 1
4. Explain the importance of Human Recovery Needs Assessment in PDNA;
5. Explain the activation and organization process and steps in conducting
PDNA;
6. Describe the different sectors involved in PDNA;
7. Explain the linkages of PDNA to long term development; and,
8. Experience the conduct of PDNA through simulation exercises.

Teaching-Learning Methodologies

As we transition into the “new normal,” the OCD-CBTS ushers its participants into a
variety of online tools designed to fit the course and accommodate its learners. The
course utilizes the following teaching-learning methods:

 Self-paced Learning is a method in which the learners can control the


amount of material content they consume, as well as the duration of time
needed to learn the new information properly. Note however, each self-paced
session is given a corresponding technical training time credit.
 Video teleconferencing (VTC) is a learning technology that facilitates the
communication and interaction of two or more users through a combination of
high-quality audio and video over the internet. As face-to-face learning is
currently adjourned, VTC is used for lectures and other interaction.
Online Evaluation, in the forms of pre-training and post-training tests, is
administered to assess the effectiveness of the training course. Likewise, self-
paced quizzes and assignments are given during for the course duration.

Duration: 6 days

Category: Technical Course

Completing this course will credit 30 technical training hours (21 hours for VTC
and 9 hours for self-paced).

Module Objectives

Upon completion of the module, you will be able to:


1. Explain about the Philippine Disaster Risk Profile;
2. Describe the paradigm shift in the Philippine DRRM System;
3. Describe the four DRRM Thematic Areas; and
4. Determine the DRRM challenges.

Philippine Disaster Risk Profile

Pacific Ring of Fire


One major reason why we have disasters in the Philippines is because of our
geographic location along the highly-seismic Pacific Ring of Fire. This is the area
where the Philippine Sea and Eurasian Tectonic Plates meet and is prone to
occurrences of earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions.

Because of this geographic location, our country has around 300 volcanoes in which
24 are active.

Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Training Course 8


Active Faults and Trenches

If we will look at the distribution of active faults and


trenches in the Philippines, these are found in several
areas of the country.

Seismicity

If we will examine the seismicity or the frequency of


occurrence of earthquakes, almost all parts of the
country experience earthquakes.
Generally, we encounter an average of 20
earthquakes a day, per latest figures from the
Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology
(PHIVOLCS).

Reference: DOST PHIVOLCS

Pacific Typhoon Belt

Aside from being situated in the


Pacific Ring of Fire, the Philippines
is also located along the Pacific
Typhoon Belt. This explains the
occurrences of different weather
disturbances such as typhoons.

Our country is visited by an


average of 20 typhoons per year,
according to the Philippine
Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Training Course 9
Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
Climate Change

In addition, we also have to contend


with the irreversible impacts of
climate change that is largely
characterized by increasing global
temperatures.

Too many greenhouse gases are


released in the atmosphere that trap
the heat and make the planet warmer,
this is referred to as Greenhouse
Effect.

Philippine economy based on 1905 to
2017data is around 85 to 422 billion pesos.

Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Training Course 14


World Risk Index Report 2020
In 2020, the Philippines ranked as the 9th country
at risk to disasters globally, according to the
World Risk Report.
Rank in the previous years:

 3rd in 2011 to 2013


 2nd in 2014
 3rd in 2015 to 2018
 9th in 2019

Paradigm Shift in the Philippine DRRM System

What is DRRM?

Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM): the systematic process of


using administrative directives, organizations, and operational skills and capacities to
implement strategies, policies and improved coping capacities in order to lessen the
adverse impacts of hazards and the possibility of disaster.

Republic Act 10121: “An act strengthening the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction
And Management System, providing for the National Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Framework and institutionalizing the National Disaster Risk Reduction
and Management Plan, appropriating funds therefor and for other purposes”.

The paradigm shift to DRRM is brought about by the enactment of Republic Act
(RA) 10121 on 10 May 2020. RA 10121 is the legal basis for DRRM in the
Philippines.

Shift from Reactive to Proactive

Before RA 10121 was enacted, we used to have a reactive stance


characterized by a top-down and centralized approach to disaster
management.
Reactive
We also used to consider disasters as function of physical hazards and had
been largely focusing on disaster response.

Now, with RA 10121, we have shifted from reactive approach to the proactive
Proactive stance in DRRM.
We take a bottom-up participatory DRRM approach and view disasters as a
reflection of people’s vulnerability. Further, we adopt an integrated approach
by looking at all aspects to reduce disaster risk.

Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Training Course 15


National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council
RA 10121 constituted and mandated the NDRRMC as the highest organized and
authorized body in DRRM in the Philippines. The NDRRMC replaced the former
National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC).

NDCC to NDRRMC

NDCC vs. NDRRMC

Office of Civil Defense (OCD)

The OCD is mandated by RA 10121 to serve as the


Executive Arm and Secretariat of the NDRRMC.

Primary mission of OCD:

To administer a comprehensive national civil defense


and disaster risk reduction and management program
by providing leadership in the continuous development
of strategic and systematic approaches as well as
measures to reduce the vulnerabilities and risks to
hazards and manage the consequences of disasters

Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Training Course 16


OCD GENERAL FUNCTIONS

 Policymaking: The OCD shall facilitate development and implementation of


policies, plans, guidelines and procedures related to DRRM, in coordination with
relevant experts and stakeholders.
 Coordination: The OCD shall advise the NDRRMC on matters relating to DRRM
and orchestrate the implementation of programs, projects and activities.
 Integration: The OCD shall facilitate risk assessment in consultation with key
stakeholders and create an enabling DRRM environment by capacitating
individuals and organizations.
 Supervision: The OCD shall provide technical assistance to local government
units (LGUs) and other stakeholders, and ensure adherence to the national
DRRM standards and programs.
 Monitoring and Evaluation: The OCD shall conduct monitoring and evaluation
as part of the implementation of national DRRM standards.

DRRMC Network

RA 10121 further provides for the establishment of the “DRRMC Network” or the
replication of the NDRRMC from the national down to the regional, provincial, city,
municipal and barangay levels.

To bring down DRRM to the grassroots, RA 10121 further provides for the
establishment of the “DRRM Network” or the replication of the NDRRMC from the
national down to the regional, provincial, city, municipal and barangay levels. Thus,
the formation of additional committee was realized such as the Barangay Disaster
Risk Reduction and Management Committees or BDRRMCs to ensure the high
capacity of every Filipino.

Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Training Course 19


Barangay Level
42,406 Barangay DRRM Committees

This is how the coordination works during emergencies. When only one barangay is
affected, coordination will only be within the barangay. When two (2) or more
barangays are affected, the city or municipal level has to take over. When two (2) or
more cities are affected, the provincial level will be responsible for coordination.
Similarly, the regional level will have to assist when two (2) or more provinces are
affected. The NDRRMC will coordinate for response when two (2) or more regions
have been affected.

Provincial DRRMC will respond if 2 or more


regions are affected.
Provincial DRRMC will respond if 2 or more
provinces are affected.
Provincial DRRMC will respond if 2 or more
cities or municipalities are affected.
City/Municipal DRRMC will respond if 2 or more
barangays are affected.
Barangay DRRMC will respond if 1 barangay is
affected

Local DRRM Office:


RA 10121 further requires that for every province, city, municipality and barangay,
there shall be the Local DRRM Office.
The Local DRRM Office is in charge of setting the direction, development,
implementation and coordination of DRRM programs in their areas.
Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Training Course 20
Important Note from Section 15, RA 10121

LGUs shall take the LEAD.


NDRRMC shall always act as SUPPORT to LGUs.

DRRM Thematic Areas

RA 10121 provides for the institutionalization


and operationalization of DRRM through four (4)
interoperable and mutually reinforcing DRRM
thematic areas.

Four DRRM Thematic Areas

The four DRRM thematic areas are Disaster


Prevention and Mitigation, Disaster
Preparedness, Disaster Response, and Disaster
Rehabilitation and Recovery.

Disaster Prevention and Mitigation

To address current and reduce future risks of communities and government through
mainstreaming integrated risk management into
science, policy and practice.

 Early warning systems


 Forecasting and monitoring
 Hazard and risk mappings
 Structural and non-structural interventions

Disaster Preparedness

To establish and strengthen capacities of governments,


communities, CSOs, and private sector to anticipate,
cope, and recover from the adverse impacts of hazards
and potential cascading disasters, and minimize losses
and disruption of daily life.

Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Training Course 21


 Planning
 Propositioning and stockpiling
 Organizing responders
 Training, drills and exercises

Disaster Response and Early Recovery

To provide risk-based, timely and anticipatory response actions to address basic,


life-preservation and immediate needs of communities and government. Also,
affected communities/population are able to continue life with dignity and prevent or
minimize exacerbation of emergency situation.

 Damage assessment
 Evacuation
 Issuance of advisories
 Search, rescue and retrieval
 Relief distribution
 Management of evacuation centers

Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery

To speed up recovery from disaster losses through rehabilitation and recovery


programs that are aligned to sustainable development and “Build Back Better”
principle.

 Post-disaster needs assessment


 Review of policies and plans
 Resettlement
 Provision of new sources of livelihood

National DRRM Plan

To operationalize the DRRM Thematic Areas at the national level and achieve the
respective targets, the NDRRMC formulated the NDRRM Plan.

Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Training Course 22


The National DRRM Plan encompasses the four (4) DRRM Thematic Areas, with
corresponding long term goals, objectives, outcomes, outputs and activities. The
provisions of the plan were then updated in 2020 for implementation until 2030.

National DRRM Framework

The updated framework has two primary features. The first feature shows the
existing framework. The second feature depicts the transformation and recalibration
of the framework.

Centrality of risk and all hazards approach


It recognizes that risks are systemic in nature that changes over time with the
interplay of people’s level of capacity and vulnerabilities amidst the changing climate,
including extreme and slow onset events and manmade activities. The all hazards
concept is referred to by Sendai framework as the concept to strengthen technical
Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Training Course 23
and scientific capacity to capitalize on and consolidate existing knowledge and to
develop and apply methodologies and models to assess disaster risks, vulnerabilities
and exposure to all hazards.

Coherence and mutual reinforcement of strategies among actors across


thematic pillars
The framework recognizes the need to establish credible linkages to enhance
coherence and harmonization across goals, systems, plans, and policies to avoid
duplication, overlapping of efforts and wastage of resources. Thus, the thematic
pillars are organized and clustered into three (3) key result areas (KRAs): KRA 1:
disaster risk reduction; KRA 2: preparedness and response; and, KRA 3: build back
better.

Priorities of the Sendai Framework


The adoption of the four priorities for action of the Sendai framework as strategies
toward the attainment of our goal of a safer, adaptive, and disaster resilient filipino
communities toward sustainable development.

Challenges

“Buy-in” of Stakeholders
We need the cooperation and buy-in of our stakeholders. also need correct the
notion that DRRM is only a government concern.
Rather, DRRM requires the whole-of-society approach.

DRRM as “Way of life”


DRRM is relevant to be applied in all aspects of our lives, not just during emergency
times. Therefore, DRRM should be considered as our “way of life.”

Prioritization
DRRM should be among the top priorities of our officials and leaders, both for public
and private stakeholders.

Continuous innovation in the “New Normal” situation


We need to continuously innovate our DRRM policies, plans and programs in view
of the “new normal” characterized by the increasing in terms of scope, magnitude,
frequency, and complexities of disasters

Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Training Course 24


Introduction to Post-Disaster Needs Assessment

Module Objectives

Upon completion of this module, you will be able to:


1. Describe the overview of Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA); and
2. Understand the concepts and processes involved in PDNA

Overview of PDNA

Definition of PDNA
Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) involves detailed sectoral and cross-
sectoral and inter-sectoral assessment of damages and losses, impacts of disaster
and needs assessment based on intensive data gathering and validation.
It facilitates formulation of a roadmap to Build Back Better as basis for disaster
recovery. It also helps to harmonize local and international support towards recovery
and rehabilitation assistance.

PDNA: A Global Practice

PDNA was developed as a methodology by the United


Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and
the Caribbean (UN-ECLAC) to define the extent of
disaster damage and loss. It was later modified,
enhanced, and simplified through the collaboration of the
UN, European Union and World Bank as well as other
development partners for use especially in high- risk
countries.
It is globally used in countries such as Fiji, Nepal, Samoa,
Moldova, Bangladesh, Philippines, among others.

PDNA: Towards Rehabilitation and Recovery

PDNA results serve as bases for identifying the Programs, Activities and Projects
for Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery the Government and partner
stakeholders will undertake to facilitate the affected communities’ return to normalcy.
 It initiates recovery planning processes through the concerted multi-
stakeholder efforts
 It evaluates the adverse consequences of the disaster on all sectors
(governance, social, economic, etc.) and estimates the damages;

Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Training Course 25


 It identifies priority needs and provides the basis for mobilizing resources for
recovery and reconstruction; and
 It develops the Recovery framework and strategy outlining priority needs,
interventions, expected outputs and cost.

PDNA References in the Philippines

Republic Act 10121


RA (RA) 10121, Section 9 (m)
mandates the Office of Civil Defense
(OCD) to “Conduct early recovery and
post- disaster needs assessment
institutionalizing gender analysis as
part of it”. Gender analysis is
important to be highlighted in PDNA
because disasters affect gender types
differently. Likewise, the needs and
priorities per gender vary as well.

NDRRM Framework
The NDRRM Framework specifies the Key Result Area of Damage Analysis and
Needs Assessment as among the generic activities. PDNA, like any other
assessment methods, convey the “situation on the ground” to the government and
other relevant organizations.

Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Training Course 26


NDRRM Plan
In the NDRRM Plan, under the thematic area of
Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery, Outcome 20, it
is specified that the OCD is tasked to lead the
conduct of PDNA .

Evolution of PDNA

Early PDNA Experiences

The first PDNA in the Philippines was conducted through the help of international
partners, specifically the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, United Nations, and
European Commission after the devastation of Tropical Storm Ondoy and Typhoon
Pepeng in 2009.

While the assessment was Philippine government-led,


there was the involvement of private sector, civil society
organizations, multilateral development partners
through the global cooperation agreements, and
bilateral development partners including Japan
International Cooperation Agency and the governments
of Australia, Canada, Germany, Netherlands and the
United States.

PDNA Use in Large-Scale Disasters

PDNA was then subsequently used in the latter years,


especially for large-scale disasters. The OCD led the
conduct of PDNA for Typhoon PabIo in 2012.

Likewise, the OCD spearheaded the assessment for


Typhoon Yolanda, which is by far the largest disaster
event to have ever been assessed using the PDNA
methodology.

Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Training Course 27


From PDNA to PCNA

The onset of the human conflict incited in Marawi City called for the government to
create a PDNA-like methodology which deals primarily with martial elements. It is
called the Post-Conflict Needs Assessment or PCNA. Although the methodologies
are mostly similar as that of PDNA, assessing armed-conflict situations should be
dealt with caution. Dimensions of peace, security and nation building should also be
factored in. PCNA for the Marawi Conflict led to the organization of Task Force
Bangon Marawi composed of various agencies and organizations to spearhead the
rehabilitation and recovery efforts.

Aside from the Marawi Conflict, PCNA


was also initially attempted after the
Zamboanga seige in 2013, followed by
Butig in Lanao del Norte. These were
later subsumed under the Marawi Seige
PCNA methodology.

PDNA Concepts and Processes

PDNA Methodologies
PDNA, to be comprehensive and successful, employs several methodologies:
 Series of field visits and site inspections
 Sectoral experts' assessment
 Focus Group Discussions (FGD)
 Quantitative and Qualitative Analyses
 Writeshops
 Consultation Meetings
 Triangulation

DaLA and HRNA


PDNA uses two (2) main approaches for assessment: DaLA and HRNA.

 Damage and Loss Assessment (DaLA) uses objective and quantitative


information on the value of destroyed assets and temporary production losses
to estimate interventions and financing needs

 Human Recovery Needs Assessment (HRNA) covers the measures to


revitalize the abilities of the people in restoring their full potential to lead
productive and creative lives in accordance with their needs and interests. It
considers the human element or the social aspect of the lives of individuals as
part of recovery.

Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Training Course 28


PDNA Sectors

Assessments and recovery interventions in PDNA are categorized into four (4) broad
sectors.

Infrastructure sector deals with the buildings and


facilities. It covers the following sub-sectors:
 Power Supply
 Telecommunications
 Transportation

Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Training Course 29


PDNA Framework

 As a foundation, we must first obtain valid information about the affected area;
hence, baseline data MUST be available.

 Next, as a response to the immediate needs of the affected individuals, we


need to consider the most important needs in which we apply the principle of
cluster approach. This involves international humanitarian response agencies.

 Moreover, the "Build Back Better" Principle, along with other guiding
principles, shall be used as foundation for the conduct of the whole PDNA.

 The four posts represent the four broad sectors that are mostly involved in
PDNA while the two windows represent the two components of PDNA- the
DaLA and the HRNA. In order to determine the total cost needed for financial
assistance, particularly for Recovery and Rehabilitation, we need to consider
the effects, impacts, and needs caused by the disaster.

 The Recovery Strategy in PDNA shall be based on the sectors, the DaLA and
HRNA reports, and on the needs, impacts, and effects of the disaster. The
recovery strategy can be classified as Early Recovery, Medium-, and Long-
Term.

 Finally, the PDNA Framework has an ultimate goal of providing resilient


development or safer and more adaptive Filipino communities towards
sustainable development.

Video Teleconferencing Modules

Module 1: Operational Definition of Terms

Module Objectives

Upon completion of this Module, the participants will be able to:


1. Understand the operational definition of the four (4) main terminologies used
in PDNA, and
2. Discuss the components and classifications of each terminology.

Damages

 Quantifiable effects of disasters on tangible objects


 Value of affected assets and the cost of restoring them to pre-disaster state

Totally & Partially Damaged


 Totally Damaged - Completely destroyed or unusable assets; needs
replacement
 Partially Damaged - Can be repaired or reused; structural integrity has not
been compromised

Replacement & Repair Cost


 Replacement Cost
o For totally damaged structures
o Market value of the asset before destruction (acquisition cost less
depreciation)
 Repair Cost
o For partially damaged assets
o Amount required to put the asset back to its condition just before its
partial destruction

Losses

 Value of revenue that was affected after the disaster


 Changes in economic flows can extend beyond the year the disaster occurred
 Values of losses are estimated based on the pre-disaster prices of:
o Foregone income opportunities
o Operating or production costs
o Unexpected expenses

Foregone Income Opportunities


 Production decline

Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Training Course 31


 Reduced incomes
 Increased expenditures over a given time

Operating or Production Costs


Additional expenses incurred in producing the same output of goods and/or services
prior to the disaster

Unexpected Expenses
 Miscellaneous expenses
 Clearing operations
 Additional food expenses

Importance of Assessing Losses


 Damages and losses cannot be combined
 Immediate cost estimates for reconstruction financing cannot be determined
by damages alone
 Losses allow estimation of the total effects of disasters.

Impacts

Impacts

Changes in macroeconomic variables, social factors, environmental conditions and


disaster risk situations due to disaster

Macroeconomic Impacts

 Additional costs to businesses


 Possible food shortages
 Loss of income and employment
 Loss of access to social services

response.

Post-Disaster Needs Assessment Training Course 32


 Evaluate the impact of a disaster on human development and on the
dynamics of the different societal factors.

Environmental Impacts

 biodiversity

Disaster Risk - The increase in vulnerabilities of certain sectors, areas and


population groups.

Needs

 Analysis of disaster impacts that will provide basis for recovery and
restoration programs
 Amount needed for rehabilitation and recovery
 Consider inflation and international prices.

Recovery Needs

Short-term needs that must be restored to pre-disaster conditions as soon as


possible:

1. Discuss the Disaster Recovery Framework;
2. Explain the determination of priority programs, projects and activities; and
3. Explain the implementation modalities, and funding options for disaster
rehabilitation and recovery

Disasters and Development

According to Anderson (1985) victims of disasters are also victims of failed relief,
rehabilitation, reconstruction and development programs that were supposed to
address economic and social conditions that render people vulnerable to natural
hazards or human-induced disasters. This condition is a manifestation of the cycle
of marginalization. This is the result of the lack of appreciation of the relationship
between disasters and development which generally gravitates towards the view
that disasters are interruptions of development and that the resources and provisions
used for disaster response and post-disaster rehabilitation and recovery needs are
diversion the resources supposedly for development.
- Reference: Anderson, M.B. 1985. A reconceptualization of the linkages between disasters and
development. Disasters, 9(Issue Supplement s1):46-51, Dec.

Disaster Recovery Framework

 DRF complements results of PDNA


 Translates PDNA recommendations into recovery plans
 Addresses longer term disaster vulnerability
 DRF prioritizes DRR and resilience measures within short and long-term
developmental goals
