DISASTER RISK REDUCTION & MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (DRRM)

"Hazards only become disasters when it affects a population. The severity of the disaster depends on a population’s capacity to cope using its own resources. Hazards that occur in an uninhabited island or hazards that occur in a community which is well prepared for such events may not experience a disaster. Decreasing vulnerabilities and increasing capacities of a community exposed to a hazard could prevent disasters " (DepEd DRRM Manual)

The implementation of DRRM in basic education is guided by DepEd’s three major outcomes—Access, Quality and Governance. These set the program and policy development agenda of the agency. As a member of the National DRRM Council (NDRRMC), the Department is also committed to implement DRRM in basic education within the following thematic areas: Prevention and Mitigation; Preparedness; Response; and Recovery and Rehabilitation. (DepEd DRRM Manual)

The Comprehensive DRRM in Basic Education Framework seeks to: 1. Protect learners and education workers from death, injury, and harm in schools; 2. Plan for educational continuity in the face of expected hazards and threats; 3. Safeguard education sector investments; and 4. Strengthen risk reduction and resilience through education.
