Looking at the bigger picture, CDRA does not start and end with the 5-step CDRA as described in the previous section. The results from the 5-Step CDRA must  be organized, compiled and eventually be mainstreamed in the CLUP. This compiled results of CDRA will guide the kinds of development being envisioned by all concerned stakeholders during the planning process particularly in land use planning. Thus, in practice, CDRA should not be treated as a separate process to the CLUP process proposed in the first three volumes of DHSUD’s Guidelines to CLUP. Concretely, CDRA process (column 1) must be a part of the wider 12-Step CLUP Process (column 2 of table below). The table and figure below provides an overview of the entry points of CDRA process to the 12-step CLUP.

CDRA and its Mainstreaming to CDP, LDRRMP, and LCCAP/eLCCAP

CDRA is also useful to other planning documents such as CDP, LDRRMP and LCCAP/eLCCAP. These planning activities require inclusion of risk assessment as basis of plans. In fact, risk assessment should be consistent in all these plans, therefore, as much as possible these plans should be based on a single methodology. In relation to this, the Department of Interior and Local Government Unit (DILG) has issued Memorandum Circular 2015-77 to advise LGUs to mainstream DRR-CCA in development planning. The figure below proposes an operational framework on how CDRA can be made useful in key LGU plans.
