Building Resilient Cities

in the PhilippinesTechnical Assistance Package for

Local Government Units

Republic Act No. 10121 known as the

“Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and

Management Act of 2010” requires theestablishment of Local Disaster Risk Reduction andManagement Ofce (LDRRMO) in every province,city, and municipality. Each LDRRMO is also requiredto have an LDRRM Plan which it shall implementtogether with local partners and stakeholders.

Disaster Risk Reduction andManagement (DRRM) Act of 2010

RA 10121

New Mandate for Local Government Units (LGUs)Under Republic Act No. 10121 or the DRRM Act, provinces, cities, and

municipalities have a greater responsibility in building the disaster resilience

of communities, and in institutionalizing disaster risk reduction within their

functions and operations. LGUs need to develop the knowledge, capacity, and a

system to cost effectively comply with the law.

Speciically, Section 11 requires all provinces, cities, and municipalities to have a

Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (LDRRMC). Section12 of

the law calls for the creation of Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management

Ofice (LDRRMO), the primary purpose of which is to formulate and implement a

comprehensive and integrated Local DRRM Plan (LDRRMP).

Most LGU’s in the RP have already invested signiicant resources for responding

and preparing to disasters. It is important that these investments and resources

be in pair with international best practices in order to avoid wasting valuable

assets and time.

Your Partner in Complying with the DRRM Act

EMI partners with local government units to provide the technical knowledge andcapacity necessary to effectively comply with RA 10121. Our aim is to guide LGU’s

to establish their LDRRM Ofice, set up their LDRRM system, develop their LDRRM

Plan while optimizing their existing DRRM investments and resources, conduct

hazards, vulnerability, and risk assessment, and build capacity and competency.

Beyond mere compliance, our tools and methods will ensure that LGUS

also meet international standards and take advantage of internationalexperience in DRRM so as to establish sustainable and effective systems.

Who We Are

We are an international scientiic organization started in 1998 and later

established as a non-stock, non-proit organization in the Philippines in

2004.

Our mission is to advance policy, knowledge and practice of urban Disaster

Risk Reduction (DRR), particularly focusing on megacities and fast growing

metropolises. We are recognized globally to be the forefront organizationin developing and implementing best practices in urban and megacities

disaster risk reduction.

Our Framework

Disaster risk reduction and management can be highly effective when local

authorities integrate DRR measures and objectives in various aspects of

local governance functions, responsibilities, and practices. This concept is

referred to as “mainstreaming”.

Our approach is to:1. Undertake the work as a collaborative and participatory project;

2. Assess and optimize existing resources;

3. Ensure compliance according to international standards (HFA, EMAP,

ISO 31000);

4. Develop most viable and cost-effective risk reduction options; and

5. Build capacity and ensure sustainability

Our Partners

We have facilitated the development of the Disaster Risk Management Plans of the following cities: Istanbul, Turkey; Amman, Jordan; Kathmandu,

Nepal; and Metro Manila, Philippines.

We are currently assisting the City of Mumbai in the formulation of their

own DRRM Plan.

Earthquakes and MegacitiesInitiative, Inc. (EMI)

Your BenetsEMI’s technical knowledge and training can assist your LGU to:• Comply with the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and

Management (DRRM) Act of 2010• Implement international best practices

• Build resiliency and reduce losses• Gain efciency and coherency

• Maximize opportunities for capital investment, and funding

As part of its day-to-day function and activity, the DRRM Ofice works to

prepare and capacitate policy makers, communities and stakeholders to

work together in preparing and reducing their exposure to disasters.

Figure 3. Example of the LDRRM Ofce Organization of Mumbai

Setting-Up the DRRM Ofice

We offer the following technical assistance and tools to LGUs:

• Crafting of local DRRM ordinance and organizing the DRRM Unit

(structure, mission statement, scopes of work)

• Organizing the Incident Command System

• Providing standards and requirements for Emergency Operations

Center

• Developing manuals on procedures & protocols

• Other tools and templates for reporting, forging Memoranda of Understanding, gathering data (demographics, risk facilities, etc.)

“We have found in EMI a reliable and trustedpartner in establishing a competent, efcientand coherent disaster risk managementsystem for Mumbai.”

Phase 2Section 12 of RA 10121

Developing theLocal Disaster Risk

Reduction andManagement Plan

(LDRRMP)

IDeveloping the LDRRM Plan

We partner with you to develop an LDRRM Plan that provides the portfolio for

response planning, preparedness and mitigation activities. It will be the kind of

plan that provides local authorities with ready options and priorities for action.

Each step entails participatory processes involving various stakeholders. There

is also continous training and competency building not only for the DRRM OficeStaff but also for its Support Functions.

The Plan

Section 12 of RA 10121 requires the LDDRM Ofice to formulate and

implement a comprehensive and integrated LDRRM Plan in accordance

with the national, regional and provincial framework, and in close

coordination with the local development councils (LDCs).

Supporting Local Government Units

Developing a consensus plan, approach, and

organization for DRRM

We offer a partnership that empowers local governments, local

institutions, and local communities to plan and implement disaster risk

reduction and management.

Our way is to introduce DRRM into the city planning processes in order

to mainstream risk reduction within local functions and services. Hence

DRRM becomes part of the day-to-day business of government and other

segments of society.
