THE PHILIPPINE DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM : AN OVERVIEW

Upon completion of this session, the audience should be able to: 1. Demonstrate understanding of the hazard/disaster risk profile of the Philippines; 2. Explain the legal frameworks, general principles and institutional mechanisms of the PDRRMS

The Philippines is vulnerable to almost all types of natural hazards because of its geographical location

Where two major tectonic plates (Philippine Sea and Eurasian) meet which leads to earthquakes and volanic eruptions. This explains the existence of earthquakes, tsunamis and the existence of around 300 volcanoes (22 are active)

Map 3: Active Faults and Trenches

The country experiences an average of 20 typhoons a year (5 are said to be destructive)

Tropical storms or typhoons accompanied by heavy rain and/or strong winds that may result in floods, landslides and storm surges

 Natural hazards and disasters abound due to the countrys geographic location (typhoon, flood, landslide, earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption, drought, etc.) Human-induced disasters also pose threat to the lives of the Filipinos Climate change further aggravates occurrences of natural calamities. the

 There are also the problems of brought about by social vulnerabilities which increase disaster risks fast growing population, increasing population densities, urbanization environmental degradation pollution

 So when major catastrophic incidents like a 7.2 magnitude earthquake or a great tsunami will hit the Philippines

..are we ready?

Disasters occur when natural hazards intersect with different factors that aggravate the existing vulnerabilities of the people.
Poor building construction Inappropriate/unsafe location of settlements

Natural hazards cannot be controlled and avoided. However, the underlying factors and pressures for the peoples vulnerabilities can be managed so that the risks can be reduced.

CONCLUSION

Addressing natural and man-induced disasters is a concern all sectors of the society, (not just the Philippine government or the DRRM agencies) where everyone is involved.

We can minimize the disaster risks by becoming more responsible citizens even in our own little ways and doing our designated roles as members of the community.

Following NDRRMCs proactive stance and the bottom-up approach, there is a need think ahead and be prepared by capacitating and empowering the Filipino communities down to the grassroots level.

All DRRM activities, efforts and initiatives must be harmonized and coordinated.

Are you now able to: 1. Demonstrate understanding of the hazard/disaster risk profile of the Philippines? 2. Explain the legal frameworks, principles and operating mechanisms of the PDRRMS?

Maraming salamat po!
