 DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND
MANAGEMENT (DRRM)-RELATED LAWS
AND POLICIES
The law created the National Disaster Coordinating
Council (NDCC), the focal organization for disaster
management in the country at that time.

It gave the local development council the power to

monitor the use and disbursement of the local
calamity fund.
 DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND
MANAGEMENT (DRRM)-RELATED LAWS
AND POLICIES

An act mandated to strengthen disaster management

in the Philippines, passed into law 2010.

Also known as “An Act Mandating the

Telecommunications Service Providers to Send Free
Mobile Alerts in the Event of Natural and Man-Made
Disasters and Calamities.”
The Philippine DRRM System

first in Asia to have enacted its own law on disaster risk

reduction and management through RA 10121

provides for the paradigm shift from disaster relief and

response towards disaster risk reduction and management.

A. The Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA)
• The World Conference on Disaster Reduction held on January
18-22, 2005 in Kobe, Hyogo, Japan adopted the Framework
for Action 2005-2015: Building the Resilience of Nations and
Communities to Disasters
• The conference provided a unique opportunity to promote
strategic and systematic approach to reducing vulnerabilities
and risks to hazards.
A. The Hyogo Framework for Action (cont.)
• It was formulated and adopted by 168 governments at the World
Conference. On September 25, 2009, the Philippine Senate
approved the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and
Emergency Response (AADMER) which is ASEAN’s affirmation of its
commitment to HFA.
• The HFA commands all the states to build disaster resiliency at the
national and local levels in collaboration with the civil society and
other stakeholders.
• This was the legal basis of the enactment of RA 10121.

• It is the outcome of the stakeholder’s consultations initiated
and supported by United Nations International Strategy for
Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) upon the request of the UN
General Assembly in March 2012, and intergovernmental
negotiations from July 2014 – March 2015.
B. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 –
