DRRM means?
Disaster Risk Reduction & Management
DRRM Concept accepts that some hazard events may occur but tries to ____________ the impact by improving the ____________ to absorb the impact with minimum damage or destruction
- lessen
- community’s ability
a series of actions and instruments expressly aimed and reducing disaster risk in endangered regions and mitigating the extent of disasters.
Disaster risk reduction and management
Situation that poses a level of threat to life, health, property or environment
Hazards
A probability or threat of damage, injury liability, loss, or other negative occurrence that is caused by external or internal vulnerabilities, and that may be neutralized through preemptive action.
Risks
The level of susceptibility or resiliency of the people and communities against the impact of the prevailing hazards is based on the state of physical, social, and economic conditions in a given area.
Vulnerability
A serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society involving widespread human, material, economic, or environmental losses and impacts, which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources.
Disasters
Disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) includes administrative decisions and operational
activities involves:
Prevention
Mitigation
Preparedness
Response
Recovery
Rehabilitation
describes the process through which emergency managers prepare for emergencies and disasters, respond to them when they occur, help people and institutions recover from them, mitigate their effects, reduce risks of loss, and prevent disasters from occurring.
Disaster life cycle (Disaster Risk Management)
The traditional approach to disaster management is to regard it as a number of phased sequences of action or continuum.
Traditional Model
Refers to the efficient and effective utilization or resources and the application of measures that will mitigate the impact of unfortunate events and facilitate the return to normalcy and redevelopment.
Disaster Management
____________________ has the potential to break the cycle of damage and reconstruction when a community is subjected to repeated natural hazards
Comprehensive risk management process
To be effective a strategy must be in ________ and ___ for immediate implementation through advance
preparation and planning
place
ready
What are the objectives of disaster risk?
Reduce vulnerabilities in the community
When sustained over a long term, reduce unacceptable risk to acceptable levels and make the
community become disaster resistant
Range of Risk Management Measures:
Engineering measures
Land use planning and management measures
Control and protection works
Early warning
Preparedness planning
Reconstruction planning after a disaster
Mainstreaming risk management in development practice and institutionalization
keep hazards away from people
Engineering measures
keep people away from hazards
Land use planning and management measures
modifying the hazards
Control and protection works
predicting hazards
Early warning
prepare in anticipation of hazard events
Preparedness planning
is proactive by aiming to establish a culture of disaster prevention and resilience.
Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Paradigm
a range of related activities for coping with risk, including how related activities are identified and assessed and how social interventions to deal with the risk are monitored and evaluated.
Disaster Risk Management
Disaster Risk Reduction management (DRRM) focuses on the following during normal times and
before another disaster strikes:
Mitigation and prevention
Preparedness
Risk assessment (identification and monitoring)
a framework that encompasses disaster risk reduction, mitigation, and preparedness in the pre-event, and disaster response, rehabilitation, and recovery in the post-event
Comprehensive Disaster Risk Management Framework
Has evolved and adapted to the lessons of past disaster events as well as emerging concerns,
and anchored on a national authority program thrust.
Comprehensive Disaster Risk Management Framework
Is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of the earth.
Human Disaster
can cause loss of lives or damage to
properties, and typically leaves some economic damage in its wake.
Natural Disaster
An outward and downward slope movement of an abundance of slope-forming materials including rock, soil, artificial, or even a combination of these
Avalanches and Landslides
The result of natural sudden release of energy from the earth that creates seismic waves.
Earthquakes.
Involves an element of human intent, negligence, or errors or involving a failure of a man-made system.
Human Made Disasters
Examples of Human Made Disasters?
Criminality
Civil Disorder
Terrorism
War
Waste Disposal
Power Outage
Fire
