Objective:
• At the end of the presentation you are able to
know the importance of DRRM
• Learn the impact of natural calamities
• Learn how to prevent this
• It also aims to improve coordination of disaster
response
What is difference between DRR
and DRRM?
Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), is the act of
anticipating and reducing risk. While , Disaster
Risk Reduction Management (DRRM), is often
used synonymously with DRR but is more of a
description of the implementation of DRR since
it indicates the actions aimed at achieving the
objective of reducing risk.
Disaster Risk is an
indicator of poor
development, which is
why risk reduction
demands the integration
of DRR policy and
practice of DRM into
sustainable
development goals.
3 Major Outcomes Of DRRM to
basic Education
The implementation of DRRM in basic
education is guided by DepEd’s three
major outcomes- Access, Quality
and Governance. These set the
program and policy development
agenda of the agency.
What is Disaster?
A disaster is a natural or
man-made (or
technological) hazard
resulting in an event of
substantial extent causing
significant physical damage
or destruction, loss of life, or
drastic change to the
environment.
A disaster can be ostensively defined as
any tragic event stemming from events
such as earthquakes, floods,
catastrophic accidents, fires, or
explosions. I is a phenomenon that can
cause damage to life and property and
destroy the economic, social, and
cultural life of people.
Why knowledge is essential in case of
disaster?
Preventive measures
needs to be taken from the
students in order to prevent
losses and avoid fatality.
Then, the knowledge of the
disaster must be used in
anticipating the impact that
may happen on the
disaster-prone area.
Why knowledge is essential in case of
disaster?
Disaster knowledge can provide an awareness and a

background understanding about the disaster on the local.
What are the 3 P’s of disaster
management?
People – Protect your people. They are
your most valued asset.
Perception – Ensure your response aligns
with your number one priority – your
people.
Participation – Participate in the
investigation. Protect your interests and
confirm best practices are in place.
Classification of Disaster
NATURAL DISASTER – A natural disaster

is the impact when a natural hazard does
affect humans and/or the built
environment. It leads to financial,
environmental, or human impact due to
human vulnerability and lack of appropriate
emergency management.
The resultant loss depends on the capacity
of the population to support or resist the
disaster-in question, its resilence. This
understanding is concentrated in the
formulation: “disasters occur when hazards
meet vulnerability”. A natural hazard will
therefore never cause a natural disaster in
vulnerable places.
Natural Disasters
Steps of
Emergency
Management
Man-made or Human
Induced Disaster-
Man-made disasters arise due
to technological or human
hazards. These involve
stampedes, fires, transport
accidents, industrial accidents,
oil spills, and nuclear
explosions/radiation. War and
deliberate attacks can also
come under this category.
As is the case with natural hazards, man-

made hazards are events that have yet to
happen, for example, terrorism. Man-made
disasters are examples of specific
instances where man-made hazards have
actually become reality in an event
Disaster risk management involves
activities related to:
Prevention
Activities and measures to avoid existing
and new disaster risks (often less costly
than disaster relief and response). For
instance, relocating exposed people and
assets away from a hazard area.
Disaster risk management involves
activities related to:
Mitigation
The lessening or limitation of the adverse
impacts of hazards and related disasters.
For instance, constructing flood defences,
planting trees to stabilize slopes and
implementing strict land use and building
construction codes.
Transfer
The process of formally or informally shifting the
financial consequences of particular risks from
one party to another whereby a household,
community, enterprise or state authority will
obtain resources from the other party after a
disaster occurs, in exchange for ongoing or
compensatory social or financial benefits
provided to that other party. For instance,
insurance.
Preparedness
The knowledge and capacities of governments,
professional response and recovery
organisations, communities and individuals to
effectively anticipate, respond to, and recover
from the impacts of likely, imminent or current
hazard events or conditions. For instance,
installing early warning systems, identifying
evacuation routes and preparing emergency
supplies.
