MDRRMO AFTER TRAINING ACTIVITY REPORT
MDRRMO AFTER TRAINING ACTIVITY REPORT
BACKGROUNDOF THE TRAINING: The Local Government Code of 1991 mandates all local
government units (LGUs) to be the frontline of emergency measures during and after disasters.
Further, the enactment of Republic Act 10121 strengthened the capacities of LGUs through the
promotion of bottoms-up and participatory approach in disaster risk reduction and management
(DRRM). Serving as the first responders and primary implementers of DRRM, the LGUs should
be well equipped with capacities and resources in carrying out DRRM activities to ensure the
safety of the lives of their constituents. As such, RA 10121 mandates the LGUs constitute their
Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils (LDRRMCs) and establish their own
Local DRRM Offices. Moreover, the law provides for the development of the Local DRRM
Plan. The Local DRRM Plan is the strategic road map to attain resilience against disasters and
attuned with the National DRRM Framework (NDRRMF) and the priorities of the National
DRRM Plan (NDRRMP). It provides detailed information on LGU’s assessment of hazards,
exposure, vulnerabilities, capacities, and the goals, objectives, outcomes, action plan (including
key outputs, activities, timeframe, and budget), and monitoring and evaluation for the four (4)
thematic DRRM thematic areas: disaster prevention and mitigation, disaster preparedness,
disaster response, and disaster rehabilitation and recovery. To develop understanding on the
formulation of Local DRRM Plan, the course design for the conduct of training on Local DRRM
Planning is hereby prepared.
OBJECTIVES/GENERAL OBJECTIVE: At the end of the training, the participants will be able
to obtain the knowledge, skills and attitude that are essential in formulating a Local DRRM plan
that is responsive towards disaster resilience.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of the training, the participants will be able to: 1.
Discuss the overview of the Philippine DRRM System, with emphasis on the salient points of
RA 10121; 2. Describe relevant DRRM policies and references; 3. Explain the overview of Local
DRRM Planning; and 4. Determine the parts of the Local DRRM Plan.

HIGHLIGHTS
The training is a 3-day lecture-workshop - event that was held in Avelino Resort and Hotel Brgy.
Bayoyong, Basista, Pangasinan. Four (4) modules were discussed by the OCD instructor. The
Introduction to Local Disaster Risk Reduction Management Plan Formulation workshop isa
response to the national government’s call for efforts to make communities more disaster-
resilient. In adherence to R.A. 10121 or the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Act of 2010, various sectors were involved in the planning workshop to come up with an
integrated, comprehensive and proactive DRRM Plan for disasters such as flood, earthquake,
fire, and human-induced disasters (i.e. bombing, hostage-taking). The following modules were
discussed by Mr. Mark Masudog from the Office of Civil Defense Region 1, Planing Section.
Module 1 - Gap Identification Discussion, Workshop and Reporting of Outputs This session
provides context and general guideline about Identifying gaps and suggest amendments or
refinements on the procedures for the entry of different assistance from the provincial to the
national level. The participants were group according to their municipalities to develop and/or
enhance their existing LDRRM Plans.
Module 2 - Setting of Goals Objectives, and Outcomes This session explains that Goals can be
strategic, operational or tactical in nature. They are broad, general statements that indicate the
desired outcome in response to the occurrence of a threat or hazard.Objectives are specific,
measurable actions to achieve those goals. Objectives are written as action statements and
succinctly describe the steps to achieving the goal(s).What are SMART goals?Adapted from
similar models usedbybusiness,educationandhealth-care communities. SMART objectives for
emergency management help ensure that goals and objectives are realistic.Specific – define the
expected end result; use clear, common and concise language,Measurable – incorporate short-
term or small measurements to mark progress along the way,Attainable – ensure that the end
goal can be achieved; this is fundamental as commitment to achievement depends on perception
of ability to succeed,Realistic – define manageable expectations and assign appropriate levels of
the required resources; do not overload those expected to reach the goals with unrealistic work
loads,Timely – set clear, point-in time deadlines for each goal
Module 3 - Action Planning In this session it is necessary to start developing a local action plan.
The implementation/operationalization of the strategy takes place through the elaboration and
implementation of
