Coordination between NDRRMC and local councils

The following take the lead in certain scenarios: Barangay Development Council, if one barangay is affected

by a natural calamity or human-induced disaster City/Municipal DRRMC, if 2 or more barangays are affected Provincial DRRMC, if 2 or more cities/municipalities are

affected Regional DRRMC, if 2 or more provinces are affected NDRRMC, if 2 or more regions are affected

Plan on use of “Military and Civil Defense Assets” i.e. (foreign ) in times of national disasters

Establishing leadership for better delivery of humanitarian assistance through clusters

UN, ASEAN and other partner States and Institutions– not competing but complementing…

Multi-lateral response – preparedness at all levels Sharing of resources and info - coordination is key

Humanitarian Assistance Issues

Humanitarian ChallengesHumanitarian Challenges Towards effective incorporation of participation of

international military forces in the mobilization plans of host nations, particularly disaster-prone ones

Civilian humanitarian community and military forces – Military transition’s timeline is based on the availability of

adequate relief capacity of host nation– International humanitarian organizations’ transition timeline

is based on “relief to recovery phase” Standardization of assessment procedures for use of

both civilian and military disaster relief workers Institutionalization of education and training on

disaster relief operations in military organizations
