OVERVIEW OF EXISTING COMMUNITY-BASED DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT(CBDRM) PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS IN THE
PHILIPPINES
The NDCC undertook a collaborative project entitled “Learningrom Good Practices: Case Studies on CommunityBased DisasterRisk Management in the Philippines.” One o the activitieso this project was the Workshop on the Selection Criteria orCommunityBased Disaster Risk Management Case Studies thatwas held in August 10, 2007 and spearheaded by Oxam Great
Britain. During this workshop, representatives rom NGOs andnational government agencies identied the ollowing key elementso CBDRM:
1. Community Ownership The community manages theimplementation o disaster risk reduction measures thoughCBDRM processes that could be done by external acilitatorsrom NGOs or government agencies. The communitysolves disaster risk problems and decides on risk reductionmechanisms. The community also takes control o utureplans and actions in risk reduction and disaster management.
2. Use o Local Knowledge About Hazards Recognition o existing coping mechanisms and capacities o the community/people as well as local knowhow and resources is importantto disaster risk reduction plans and strategies.
3. Communities as Ultimate Beneciaries The community isconsidered as the key resource and rontline actor in CBDRMimplementation. Priority is given to the most vulnerablegroups, amilies, and people in the community.
4. Multistakeholder Participation Local people are themain actors and prime movers in reducing disaster risks intheir community through multistakeholder participation
and involvement in vulnerability assessment, planningto implementation, identication o disaster mitigationand preparedness measures, decisionmaking, response,rehabilitation, and monitoring and evaluation. In theprocess o sustaining CBDRM eorts, the community alsodirectly benets rom disaster preparedness, mitigation, anddevelopment.
5. Education and Capacity building Capabilitybuildingactivities that will increase the community’s skills, resources,and readiness are a key component o any CBDRM interventionso that they are able to assess risks, identiy risk reduction
measures, and plan and implement risk reduction measures

including those activities that will prevent disasters and mitigate hazards. These are aimed at preparing the community to respond to crisis andemergencies.
6. Gender Sensitivity Gender sensitivity in intervention recognizes that menand women have dierent needs, activities, perception o risks and prioritiesin the event o natural disasters. Both men and women have to be part o the CBDRM process.
7. Cultural Appropriateness Community cultures, traditions, and customsare recognized and respected.
8. Sensitivity to Local Structures Recognition o community/people’sorganizations, resources, and coping strategies should be made consciousduring planning.
9. Harmonization o Local, Indigenous, and Scientic Knowledge Harmonizinglocal and indigenous knowledge with scientic knowledge crucial in risk assessment and disaster management.
10. Complementation o Communitybased and Topdown Approaches While it is recognized that community participation and empowermentis the undamental principle in CBDRM, involvement and ull support o the national and local governments, as well as civil society groups, is alsoimportant. Formal directions rom government decisionmakers may be
necessary to enorce laws and regulations.
11. Demonstrated Potential or Building Economic Resilience CBDRMinitiatives are primarily geared towards strengthening the community’scoping mechanisms.
12. Demonstrated Transparency in Procedures and Processes CBDRMinitiatives in the community should result in communities that are resilientto disasters.
13. Commitment and Accountability o Stakeholders Accountability to thepeople and community and demonstration o individual and collective
actions in disaster preparedness and mitigation are called or to address theconsequences o disasters during pre and postevent phases o disasters.
14. Communication Design Observable capacity in using early warningsystems and the dissemination o critical inormation to the community,selhelp actions in prevention, mitigation measures, emergency responseand recovery, will improve public awareness; these will contribute to thesuccess o CBDRM.
15. Exit Strategy sustainability mechanisms CBDRM initiatives can besustained even beyond project unding support and termination, withmechanisms or sustaining gains at the start o the intervention already inplace.

GOVERNMENT THRUSTS ON COMMUNITY–BASED
DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT (CBDRM)
National Disaster Coordinating Council NDCC and the Oceo Civil Deense OCDIn 2005, the National Disaster Coordinating Council NDCC,through the Oce o Civil Deense OCD, its secretariat andoperating arm, initiated the Hazards Mapping and Assessmentor Eective CommunityBased Disaster Risk ManagementREADY Project. READY aims to institutionalize Disaster Risk Management DRM at all levels o governance by developing
a systematic approach to communitybased disaster risk management CBDRM. At the national level, READY proposesto institutionalize and standardize DRM measures and processes,while at the local and community levels, it seeks to empower themost vulnerable municipalities and cities in the country and enablethem to prepare disaster risk management plans.
The NDCC/OCD has identied a total o 43 provinces or thedevelopment o multihazard maps, installation o communitybased early warning systems, and integration o disaster risk reduction DRR in the local planning processes.
In the same year, the NDCC ormulated the FourPoint Plano Action or Disaster Preparedness, which calls or the: aupgrade o the orecasting capability o the warning agencies;b promotion o an integrated and coherent strategic publicinormation on disaster preparedness; c enhancement o capacities o local chie executives LCEs and their respectivedisaster coordinating councils DCCs; and d strengthening o mechanisms or government and private sector partnerships.
The NDCC is undertaking a program entitled “Partnerships orDisaster ReductionSouth East Asia PDRSEA Phase 4”,in collaboration with the Asian Disaster Preparedness CenterADPC, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission or
Asia and the Pacic UNESCAP, and the Disaster PreparednessProgram o European Commission Humanitarian Aid DepartmentECHO. The project aims to promote good practices and enhancethe role o local authorities in integrating CBDRM into localplanning and programming.
In June 2007, a stakeholders’ meeting was held to acilitate thecrating o the National Strategic Plan to Integrate Communitybased Disaster Risk Management CBDRM into the socioeconomic development processes o the Philippines. This plan,tagged as the NDCC’s Strategic Plan or CBDRM, is one o several outputs o the PDRSEA Phase 4 and is a critical input to
NDCC’s Strategic National Action Plan SNAP.
At the national level,READY proposes toinstitutionalize andstandardize DRM measuresand processes, while at thelocal and community levels,it seeks to empower the most
vulnerable municipalitiesand cities in the countryand enable them to preparedisaster risk managementplans.

Monitoring and Reporting Progresson CBDRM in The Philippines
The vision o the Strategic Plan or CBDRM is or the OCD tobe recognized nationally and regionally as the main driver o CBDRM in contributing to building resilience o communitiesrom disasters. Its mission is or the OCD to mobilize support andparticipation o NDCC memberagencies and other stakeholdersin building an eective system or the integration o CBDRM insocioeconomic development processes in compliance withprovisions o the Hyogo Framework o Action HFA.
The overall goal o the Strategic Plan or CBDRM is to improvestrategic planning and management process at the national levelto eectively integrate CBDRM in socioeconomic developmentprocesses throughout the country. Its specic goals are: 1 tobuild an eective mechanism to promote CBDRM or buildingresilience o communities to disasters; 2 to establish an eectivesystem to integrate CBDRM in development planning throughreplication o pilot projects; and 3 to mobilize commitment o stakeholders and institutionalize partnerships to obtain technicaland nancial support or CBDRM in order to strengthen itsoundation, improve operational ramework and approaches, andsustain initiatives.
The Strategic National Action Plan SNAP corresponds with theprovisions o the Hyogo Framework o Action HFA adopted bythe Philippines and 167 other countries last January 2005 during
the World Conerence on Disaster Reduction WCDR in Kobe,Japan.
The HFA has dened the guiding principles and priority activitiesor disaster risk reduction DRR, which include advocacy oncommunity participation in DRR through the adoption o policiesand communitybased training to enhance local capacities tomitigate and cope with disasters. In addition, the HFA encouragesgovernments to develop specic DRR mechanisms where there isactive participation o stakeholders e.g. communities in atrisk areas building ownership o these mechanisms in the spirit o volunteerism.
The NDCC/OCD recognizes CBDRM as an eective approach tomaintain commitment and support o the government and theinternational community, and to mobilize eective participationo key stakeholders in the implementation o the same. One o the main activities o the OCD through its regional centers isthe crating o contingency plans at the local level. This plan isdeveloped by the OCD, LGU ocials, and community residents,especially those rom hazard prone areas.
Further, the NDCC/OCD recognizes the need or a paradigm shitrom response eorts towards disaster risk reduction DRRthat takes into account the signicant role o communities.
This proactive stance demands the development o appropriate
The overall goal o theStrategic Plan or CBDRMis to improve strategicplanning and managementprocess at the nationallevel to eectively integrateCBDRM into the socioeconomic developmentprocesses throughout the
country.

policies and strategic plans; mobilization o adequate resources;and building o partnerships to solicit the sustained support o key actors at all levels o society including the community. Theimplementation o the priority actions o the HFA are hoped to beadvanced in the process.
This shit is provided or in NDCCMemorandum No 05, Series o 2007,which institutionalizes the clusterapproach in the Philippine DisasterManagement System PDMS anddesignates cluster leads at thenational, regional, and provinciallevels. The cluster approach ensures amore coherent and eective responseby mobilizing government agenciesand structures, and NGOs to respondin a strategic manner across all keyareas o activities in support o thePDMS.
Cluster Leads are primarily NDCCmemberagencies that are responsibleor crating operational strategies inthe pre and postevent phases o a
disaster and in setting directions orcluster partners on how, where, when,and what to contribute. It shall alsoacilitate a process aimed at ensuringwell coordinated and eectivehumanitarian responses in the areaso activities concerned. Finally, theCluster Leads shall ensure continuousimprovement in the implementationo the cluster approach by identiyingbest practices and carrying outlessons learned either as a cluster or
in collaboration with other clusters.
Table 1 shows the cluster leads andinteragency standing committeecounterparts.
Most recently, the evaluation orms and criteria o NDCC’sGawad Kalasag Awards the Search or Excellence in DisasterRisk Management and Humanitarian Assistance were revisedto incorporate criteria that espouse CBDRM. In October 2007,the Gawad Kalasag National Selection Committee NSCormed a smaller committee to revise these orms participatedin by representatives o the Department o the Interior and

Monitoring and Reporting Progresson CBDRM in The Philippines
Development DSWD, the Oce o Civil Deense OCD, and the National AntiPoverty Commission NAPC Victims o Disasters and Calamities VDC Sector. The small group workshop, held in January 2008, was supported by OxamGreat Britain.
Department o the Interior and Local Government DILGAnother government department that responded to the HFA is the Departmento the Interior and Local Government DILG. In 2007, parallel to its unctionand mandate as an NDCC memberagency, the DILG initiated the RationalizedPlanning System RPS or local government units LGUs, which aims toconsolidate all local plans into two 2 major plans that include calamities anddisaster preparedness plans. The RPS crated a ramework to integrate DRRin the Comprehensive Development Plan CDP and Comprehensive Land UsePlan CLUP o all local government units.
In March 2007, the DILG launched a handbook on Integrating Disaster Risk Management in Local Governance: A Facilitators’ Guide and a Sourcebook or Barangay Disaster Risk Management Training Workshop, which is a stepbystep handbook on how to acilitate sessions and modules on disaster risk management training.
The handbook was designed primarily to provide LGUs with a guide in pushingorward the agenda o reducing risks at the community or local levels. It isdivided into our modules. These are: 1 the introduction to disaster risk management; 2 barangay governance and disaster risk management; 3
barangay risk assessment; and, 4 barangay risk reduction planning.
It was developed by the DILG jointly with the Center or Disaster Preparedness,Inc. CDP and various government agencies and institutions and internationaland local NGOs, including the Oce or Civil Deense. National AntiPovertyCommissionVictims o Disasters and Calamities NAPCVDC, the localgovernments o Albay and Guagua, Pampanga Municipal Disaster CoordinatingCouncil, Pampanga Disaster Response Network, Inc. PDRN, CorporateNetwork or Disaster Response, Inc. CNDR, Asian Disaster PreparednessCenter ADPC, and the PhilippinesCanada Support Program.
The nal drat o the handbook was printed through the support o the Special
Unit or SouthSouth Cooperation o the United Nations DevelopmentProgramme UNDP.
National AntiPoverty Commission NAPC The National AntiPoverty Commission NAPC, a government agency underthe Oce o the President, is unique among government agencies as it providesa mechanism or sectoral participation in the country’s poverty alleviationagenda.
By law, the NAPC collaborates with 14 basic sectors led by the heads or keyrepresentatives o nongovernment organizations that have chosen to engagewith government in the ght against poverty.

One o NAPC’s basic sectors is the Victims o Disasters and CalamitiesVDC, which has committed to the President o the Philippines toconduct CBDRM projects as its contribution to the government’spoverty reduction measures. Aside rom this commitment, itsagenda include policy reorms, capabilitybuilding, micronance,partnerships, and sectoral strengthening.
COMMUNITY–BASED DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT
(CBDRM) PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS IMPLEMENTED
BY NON–GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS
At the national level, several international NGOs are collaboratingwith the NDCC/OCD on various projects and programs involvingCBDRM. One such organization is the Asian Disaster PreparednessCenter, which implements the PDRSEA Phase 4 Project. Amongthe recent outputs o this project is the assistance provided tothe Camalig Municipal Disaster Coordinating Council MDCC,where a series o workshops have been conducted to integrateDRR components and strategies in their Comprehensive LandUse Plan CLUP and in enhancing early warning system andevacuation procedures at the barangay level.
Another international organization that supports NDCC’s CBDRM
thrusts is Oxam Great Britain, which collaborated with the NDCC’s“Learning rom Good Practices: Case Studies on CommunityBased Disaster Risk Management in the Philippines”. OxamGreat Britain has prepared documentation on good practices indisaster risk reduction.
At the local level, there are international and local nongovernmentorganizations that have implemented CBDRMrelated activities in55 provinces and cities in the Philippines. O the 55 provinces andcities, 43 are identied as atrisk provinces and targeted by theREADY Project. A total o 24 international and local NGOs havebeen identied to have implemented CBDRMrelated activities,and 17 o them have implemented or are currently implementing
CBDRMrelated projects and programs in 25 o the 43 or 58percent identied atrisk provinces o the READY Project.
The list provided in Table 2 shows the various organizations thathave implemented CBDRM activities in the country. They havebeen categorized into international NGOs, local NGOs, and NAPCVDC NGOs. Although the last type o NGOs is local, they havebeen categorized separately because o their semigovernmentnature as memberorganizations o the NAPCVDC.

Monitoring and Reporting Progresson CBDRM in The Philippines
TRENDS IN TYPE OF PREPAREDNESS AND MITIGATION MEASURESIN AT-RISK PROVINCES
Most o the CBDRM activities in the Philippines are no longer ramed withindisaster preparedness and mitigation measures alone, but are also within aholistic ramework. The combination o activities in disaster preparedness andmitigation has been aptly termed as disaster risk reduction DRR.
In the Philippines, NGO activities are shiting towards the concept o DRR as anapproach to CBDRM, covering both humanitarian action and socioeconomicdevelopment activities. Moreover, there appears to be a wide recognition thatdisasters can be reduced or prevented by enhancing the capabilities o atrisk
groups or communities to cope with hazards or disasters and resist their impacton them.
Similarly, the NDCC/OCD has shited its ocus rom response eorts to DRR,taking into account the signicant role o local communities. The DILG isworking to integrate DRR in the Comprehensive Development Plan CDPand the Comprehensive Land Use Plan CLUP o every local government unitLGU. The National AntiPoverty Commission’s Victims o Disasters andCalamities NAPCVDC practices and advocates or CBDRM as a povertyalleviation approach.
NGOs are working in partnership with local government oces in theimplementation o their CBDRM projects and programs. NGO activities on
CBDRM include capabilitybuilding through trainings and livelihood, research,advocacy and lobbying or policy reorms at the national and local levels, hazardor risk mapping o communities, community organizing, and partnershipsbetween NGOs, local government oces, and targeted community residents.
The CDP and the PNRC have implemented comprehensive CBDRM activities inthe identied atrisk provinces. CDP has its Program or HydrometeorologicalDisaster Mitigation or Secondary Cities in Asia PROMISE in DagupanCity, where the local government is the primary partner. PNRC has concludedits Integrated Community Disaster Preparedness Program ICDPP in theprovinces o Benguet, Southern Leyte, and Surigao Del Norte while it is stillbeing implemented in the province o Palawan, which is not an atrisk province.
The German Technical Cooperation GTZ under its Environmental SectorProgramme pursues a project entitled “Disaster Preparedness in EasternVisayas,” which is also a comprehensive CBDRM activity. It ties in directly withexisting disaster preparedness activities in the area and has identied the mostvulnerable communities and raised awareness on disaster risk managementamong the population and local authorities. Though in its preliminary phase,their program has reached the atrisk provinces o Leyte, Southern Leyte,Easter Samar, and Northern Samar.
Similarly, the Corporate Network or Disaster Response, Inc. CNDR hasa package or the delivery o its CBDRM activities which includes lobbying
or disaster preparedness allocation, research and documentation on disasterand vulnerable sectors, multihazard risk mapping, and simulation exercises

or disaster preparedness. CNDR has implemented its program in the atrisk provinces o Aurora, Rizal, and Southern Leyte.
On another aspect, some organizations with CBDRMrelated activities inthe identied atrisk provinces have targeted specic sectors. The WorldVision Development Foundation worked with children with their Children InEmergencies Program. This program has been implemented in Cagayan Valley,Isabela, Cavite, Quezon, Cebu, Zamboanga Sibugay, and Surigao Del Norte.
The Pampanga Disaster Response Network, Inc. PDRN, a NAPCVDCmember, has also targeted poor amilies in Pampanga or its CBDRM projects.PDRN has been known to operate within the province o Pampanga since itsorganization in the atermath o the Mt. Pinatubo eruption in 1991. Withthe increasing incidence o disasters in various parts o the country, PDRNhas expanded its coverage to provide CBDRM projects in other identied atrisk provinces like Catanduanes. PDRN has established a satellite oce inthis province to sustain its successul CBDRM projects. Together with theAksyon Bayan Kontra Disaster, Inc. ABKD, it has identied specic atrisk barangays in the Municipality o Jabonga, Province o Agusan Del Norte andthe Muncipality o Alegria, Province o Surigao Del Norte. PDRN is presentlyorganizing communities or CBDRM in these municipalities and provinces o the Caraga Administrative Region CARAGA, which are atrisk provinces. Asthe PDRN crossed regions, some NGOs have also diversied, i not shited, theirareas o interests in order to engage in DRR activities.
The International Organization or Migration IOM is an internationalorganization under the United Nations that specializes in migration issuesworldwide. In the Philippines, IOM has provided CBDRMrelated activities inthe atrisk province o Catanduanes. Another international organization is Save The Children, which has ocused on children but was able to provide disasterpreparedness and emergency assistance in Bohol, which is an identied atrisk province.
Aside rom PDRN, other NAPCVDC organizations that have implementedCBDRM activities in the atrisk provinces are Balay Rehabilitation Center, Inc.Balay, the Creative Community Foundation CCF, and the Philippine Relie and Development Services PhilRADS,
Balay ocuses on internally displaced persons IDPs and their psychosocialhealth in confict areas o Mindanao, including the atrisk province o Bukidnon. They are now incorporating CBDRM aspects in their trainings or communities inother confict areas. The same eorts are being pursued by the Balay IntegratedRehabilitation Center or Total Human Development, Inc. BIRTHDEV,which has mainstreamed CBDRM in its Mental Health Development Programand CommunityBased Counselling Intervention Program.
PhilRADS, the relie and development arm o the Philippine Council o Evangelical Churches PCEC, is now conducting CBDRM trainings anchoredon Christian values. PhilRADS, a NAPCVDC member, has implementedCBDRM activities in the atrisk provinces o Benguet, Aurora, Cavite, Rizal,
Cebu, and Southern Leyte.

Monitoring and Reporting Progresson CBDRM in The Philippines
The CCF has constantly included community hazard mapping in its CBDRMactivities in Region VI as part o its holistic approach to relie and development.CCF has implemented its activities in the atrisk provinces o Antique andIloilo.
Christian Aid, an international NGO, has implemented several CBDRMrelatedactivities in atrisk provinces through its local religious partners. It mobilizedbasic ecclesial communities [Munting Samahang Kristiyano MSK] or risk assessment and identication o vulnerable sectors in Inanta, Quezon throughthe Social Action Center Prelature o Inanta SACInanta. They have alsoorganized emergency teams in various neighborhood groups that can be readilymobilized or emergency and disaster response and preparedness activities.
Through the Social Action Ministry Prelature o Ipil SAMIpil, ChristianAid has conducted massive education o communities on disaster management;capacity and vulnerability assessment; documentation; and the organization o disaster management teams at the barangay, municipal, and provincial levels o the atrisk provinces o Zamboanga Del Sur and Zamboanga Sibugay.
The Community Organization Philippine Enterprise COPE, another localpartner o Christian Aid, has engaged in ora and trainings on risk reductionanalysis, saety measures during coastal fooding, and analysis o weatherorecasts. They have also conducted disaster management contingency planningsessions in the atrisk province o Camarines Norte.
Christian Aid partners have also conducted disaster risk reduction DRR capacitybuilding that included the use o participatory risk assessment tools. This sameactivity was also implemented by the ollowing Christian Aid partners in several atrisk provinces: Mindoro Assistance or Human Advancement Through Linkages,Inc. MAHAL in Calapan City; Marinduque Council or Environmental ConcernsMACEC; Philippine Network o Rural Development Institutes PHILNETRDI Visayas in Ormoc City, Leyte, and in the provinces o Cebu, Iloilo, andAklan; Fellowship or Organizing Endeavours, Inc. FORGE in Cebu City; andCenter or Empowerment and Resource Development, Inc. CERDSAMAR inthe Municipality o Almagro, Province o Western Samar.
The Resources Employment and Community Horizon REACH, a regional
NGO operating in the Caraga Administrative Region CARAGA, through itsrisk and hazard mapping, has identied 6,000 amilies atrisk rom foods inCabadbaran City, which is located in the atrisk province o Agusan Del Norte. The 6,000 amilies ound along both banks o the Agusan River were identiedby the REACHled Caraga Convergence a network o Christian developmentagencies and NGOs in Caraga. They are presently identiying relocation sites oran initial 250 amilies.
On policy reorms at the national level, organizations belonging to NAPCVDCare actively lobbying and advocating or legislation on CBDRM. Lobbying or thepassage o the disaster risk management DRM bill and the Land AdministrationReorm Act LARA are led by the Pampanga Disaster Response Network, Inc.PDRN and Aksyon Bayan Kontra Disaster, Inc.

IDENTIFICATION OF GAPS TO FURTHERSUPPORT COMMUNITY–BASED DISASTERRISK MANAGEMENT (CBDRM) PROJECTS
AND PROGRAMS
The Department o the Interior and Local Government DILG hasidentied ve 5 major gaps, particularly in disaster preparednessand mitigation activities o LGUs. These gaps are in the areas o political commitment and institutional arrangements o LGUs;risk identication, assessments, monitoring and early warning;knowledge management; risk reduction; and risk transer.
On political commitment and institutional arrangements, theDILG recommends the institutionalization o a public saety andemergency management oce in all provinces and cities since mostLGUs do not have permanent oces or disaster management andlocal disaster coordinating councils LDCCs are ad hoc in nature.Most local disaster management ocal persons end their termswith their appointing elected local executives. Moreover, not allLGUs utilize their development unds or mitigation projects, butthey rely mostly on their local calamity und to support disastermanagement related activities.
For risk identication, assessments, monitoring and earlywarning, it was discovered that most LGUs lack the skills inidentiying, assessing, and monitoring risks brought by hazards intheir respective jurisdictions. Moreover, LGUs lack appreciationo the value o hazard mapping and investing on early warningsystems, be it an indigenous or a standard system. They also donot have standard guidelines on damage and loss assessment, andreporting protocols.
On knowledge management, the DILG acknowledged that LGUslack the skills in databanking and in determining what data tocollect that will be useul in disaster management and publicdissemination. This has resulted in the lack o studies on and
documentation o economic impacts o past disasters, costbenetanalysis o actions taken, and identication o trends to help themprepare or subsequent occurrences..
The DILG also discovered that LGUs experience diculty inimplementing existing laws related to disaster risk reductionDRR, such as building codes, land use, and zoning because o thelack o appreciation o DRR. Similarly, there is no compendium o norms or standards or specic natural hazards or use o LGUs.Finally, there is no national guide on how to incorporate DRR inlocal development plans, policies, and investment programs.
Almost all NGOs agree that the participation o local governmentstructures and the communities helped in the successul

Monitoring and Reporting Progresson CBDRM in The Philippines
implementation o their respective CBDRM activities. In someareas, CBDRM activities acilitated the reactivation o theirmunicipal and barangay disaster coordinating councils M/BDCCs. It also led to the creation o a venue or coordinationand communication between communities and their localgovernment.
The level o awareness o community residents were raised,resulting in their active participation in local legislative andplanning processes, especially those on related to disaster risk management.
Gaps and Needs o Communities and CBDRM Practitioners’OrganizationsInasmuch as most NGOs would like to replicate their successesin the implementation o CBDRM activities in other areas, theyare hindered primarily by lack o unds. Likewise, resources aremuch needed by local government units, especially equipment andmaterials or disaster risk reduction activities such as hazardsmapping, early warning systems, and communications. Thereore,the principal concern here is the sustainability o CBDRMinitiatives by stakeholders.
Aside rom the need or unds, NGOs alsoneed CBDRM inormation and education
materials that may be distributed tovarious stakeholders at the local level.
On policy reorms and advocacy, NGOsneed to advocate or budget allocationor CBDRM activities at the national andlocal levels and to nd innovative measuresto source unds or CBDRM activities. This requires active involvement o locallegislative bodies in enacting policies thatwill strengthen disaster risk managementin their localities, and conduct o regular
consultations among stakeholders o CBDRM at all levels.
Similarly, there is a need to lobbyor legislation on the mandatoryestablishment o disaster managementoces in all local government units andacilitate the systematic activation andequipping o local disaster coordinatingcouncils.
Local governments need to have thepolitical commitment to achieve
substantial reduction in disaster losses
In summary, the ollowing actions and measures
are required to sustain the CBDRM initiatives bystakeholders:
• sourcefundsforimplementationofCBDRMactivities
• provisionofCBDRMinformationandeducationmaterials
• advocateforbudgetallocationforCBDRMactivitiesat the national and local levels
• activelyinvolvelocallegislativebodiestoenactpolicies to strengthen disaster risk management intheir localities
• conductregularconsultationsamongstakeholdersofCBDRM
• LobbyfortheDRMbillandlegislationonthemandatory establishment o a disaster managementoce in all local government units

in lives and to protect the social, economic and environmentalassets o communities and local governments. DRR must beintegrated in the development o policies and plans; developmentand strengthening o institutions, mechanisms, and capacities tobuild resilience to hazards; and the systematic incorporation o risk reduction approaches in the implementation o emergencypreparedness response and recovery programs.
To address the gaps in CBDRM undertakings, the NDCC intendsto build an eective mechanism to promote CBDRM or buildingthe resilience o communities to disasters; establish an eectivesystem to integrate CBDRM in development planning throughreplication o pilot projects; and mobilize the commitment o stakeholders and institutionalize partnerships to obtain technicaland nancial support or CBDRM in order to strengthen itsoundation, improve operational ramework and approaches,and sustain initiatives. These are the same specic goals o theNDCC’s Strategic Plan or CBDRM under the PDRSEA Phase4 Project. Achieving these goals will improve strategic planningand management process at the national level to eectivelyintegrate CBDRM into the socioeconomic development processesthroughout the country.
Link o Disaster Risk Management to Local GovernanceClearly, the implementation o communitybased disaster risk
management projects and activities involve both the commitmento community residents and the structures o government atall levels. The government’s role should be emphasized since itprovides the enabling environment and the mandate to managedisasters and its risks.
The Local Government Code o 1991 reers to LGUs as both bodypolitic and body corporate. As a body politic on the one hand,the LGU is a political subdivision o the national governmentendowed with powers to manage its territorial jurisdiction or andon behal o the national government. As such, they are envisionedto become eective partners o the national government in the
attainment o national goals.
As a body corporate, on the other hand, the LGU represents itsresidents and inhabitants within its jurisdiction. As such, it isendowed with powers and resources necessary or its ecient andeective governance and delivery o basic services and acilities toenable its inhabitants to become selreliant communities.
Given this platorm, LGUs are at the oreront o providing muchneeded support structures to sustain communitybased disasterrisk management CBDRM initiatives in their locality. One suchstructure is the local disaster coordinating councils LDCCs,which is mandated by law to be an essential part o the Philippine
Disaster Management System PDMS. The other local strucureis the local development councils LDCs.
[In implementing CBDRM]... The government’s roleshould be emphasized sinceit provides the enablingenvironment and themandate to manage disastersand its risks.

Monitoring and Reporting Progresson CBDRM in The Philippines
As provided or in the Local Government Code 0 1991 and its amendments,LDCs have the power to allocate ve percent o their internal revenue allotmentIRA or relie, rehabilitation, reconstruction, and other works or services inconnection with calamities, which may occur during the budget year. This isknown as the calamity und. However, this allocation or a portion thereo shallbe used only in the locality or other areas aected by disasters as determinedand declared by the local legislative body concerned.
The Local Government Code also mandates local development councils LDCsto set the direction o economic and social development o LGUs, coordinatedevelopment eorts within, and initiate a comprehensive multisectoraldevelopment plan. The Code urther mandates the LDCs to monitor the use anddisbursement o the calamity und.
The LDCs are composed o the local chie executive, members o the locallegislative body, a representative o the member o the national legislative body,and representatives o nongovernment organizations, the number o which shallnot be less than 25 percent o the ully organized LDC. In most cases, two tothree NGOs sit in the LDC.
Disaster risk management NGOs have recognized that the LDC is the arena ororwarding disaster risk management activities as a component o the overallsocioeconomic development o an LGU. This recognition has been reinorcedby the Rationalized Local Planning System o the Philippines, wherein disaster
risk reduction has been integrated.
The rationalized planning system or CBDRM has contributed to the promotiono participatory processes. The people are given the opportunity to take partin decisionmaking and in the implementation process. Ater all, CBDRM asexperienced by nongovernment organizations succeeds only with the mutualcooperation among national and local governments and the community.
The rationalized planning system has consolidated the various local multisectoral plans into two major plans; the Comprehensive Land Use Plan CLUPand the Comprehensive Development Plan CDP.
The CLUP is the plan or the management o local territories, the end resulto which is supposedly a zoning ordinance enacted by the local legislativebody. Hazard and risk mapping is considered by CBDRM practitioners as anessential tool or zoning o LGUs. The CDP is the responsibility o the localdevelopment council. It promotes the general welare o residents, and covers allthe development sectors and consolidates the programs and projects necessaryto carry out the objectives o the dierent development sectors. This is whereCBDRM enters as a development approach, prompting some NGOs to work inthis arena to put orward CBDRM projects in the locality.
Some memberorganizations o the NAPCVDC have chosen to become memberso local or regional disaster coordinating councils or development councils, orboth. Table 3 maps out the local councils where NAPCVDC organizations sit
as members.

NEXT STEPS
The actions and measures required to sustain the CBDRM initiativesby stakeholders have been categorized into three: resourcemobilization, policy and advocacy, and DRM mainstreaming. Table 4 urther describes these measures.
The report recommends that the PDRSEA 4 Project Management
Committee conducts a seminarworkshop or NGOs that aremembers o local development councils. This seminarworkshopwill set a standard on mainstreaming DRR in local planningprocesses that can be shared with all LDCs. A policy and advocacygroup composed o DRM organizations and practitioners may beorganized to advocate or CBDRM concerns at the national andlocal levels. Finally, implementing partners and advocates can taplocal and international donors to implement CBDRM activities,and acilitate the systematic activation and equipping o localdisaster coordinating councils LDCCs.

Partnerships for Disaster Reduction - South East Asia (PDR-SEA)is a multi-phased project implemented by UNESCAP and ADPC with
funding support from the European Commission Humanitarian Aid
department (ECHO) since 2001. The Phase 4 of PDR-SEA aims to
institutionalise the effectiveness of CBDRM into socio-economic
development process through strengthening of national and local capacity
for the implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action in order
to build up community resilience in the project countries of Cambodia,
Indonesia, the Philippines, and Viet Nam. The project activities involve
in strengthening and institutionalising CBDRM through local-level pilot
activities, facilitating information dissemination through existing regional
and national disaster risk management networks, enhancing ownership
of CBDRM programs by developing the capacities of local authorities and
promoting CBDRM through Disaster Management Practitioners’ Forum.
The European Commission Humanitarian Aid department (ECHO) was
set up in 1992 to provide rapid and effective support to the victims of
crises outside the European Union. Recognising the importance of pre-
emptive measures, ECHO launched its disaster preparedness programme,
DIPECHO, in 1996. Disaster Preparedness ECHO targets vulnerable
communities living in the main disaster-prone regions of the world
and aims to reduce the vulnerability of the population. Between 1996
and 2004, ECHO provided more than 78 million Euro for 319 projects
worldwide. These demonstrate that simple and inexpensive preparatory
measures, particularly those implemented by communities themselves,
are extremely effective in limiting damage and saving lives when disaster
strikes. ECHO funds support training, capacity building, awareness-raising
and early-warning projects as well the organisation of relief services. Theprogramme has shown that even simple precautions can help save lives
and property when disaster strikes. The funds are directed through ECHO
and implemented by aid agencies working in the regions concerned. For

The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and Pacific
(UNESCAP) is the regional arm of the United Nations Secretariat for
the Asian and Pacific regions, located in Bangkok, Thailand. UNESCAP
is committed to materialise the visions of the United Nations Millennium
Declaration, which was adopted by the UN General Assembly in
September 2000. The PDR-SEA project is being implemented jointly by
UNESCAP and ADPC at the regional level. For more details, please visit
