5. Republic Act 10121 Orientation
Part of the capacity building for LGUs is to facilitate their
understanding on the salient points of the Philippines
NDRRM Law, Framework and Plan. The law emphasizes
the disaster risk reduction and management through the 4point DRRM framework—prevention and
mitigation, preparedness, response, and rehabilitation and
recovery—emphasizing the bottom-up approach.

6. Participatory Capacity and
Vulnerability assessment (PCVA)
PCVA has been conducted in a total 38 municipal LGUs
and 72 barangay LGUs wherein degree of disaster
risks was identified and translated into “inclusive”
DRR/CCA options. It also guided the consortium to
identify and support Small Scale Mitigation projects.

7. Inclusive DRRM Planning
The project has also facilitated adjustments in the comprehensive development plans of the
LGUs that ensures disaster risks are reduced. It also facilitated proper utilization of the
local budget based from RA 10121. LGU partners identified prevention, mitigation and
preparedness activities and was budgeted accordingly.
The interesting off-shoot of the project is the increased level of awareness of the inclusive
DRR/CCA wherein with the expertise of Handicap International stressed the inclusiveness
of persons with disabilities in pre-during and after a disaster. Mitigation projects, as well as
the implementation of programs hoped to include PWDs in terms of participation, access
and information. It also helped the LGUs appreciate inclusivity and implement the law that
would ensure the rights of the PWDs are addressed.

8. Contingency Plan Simulation Drills
All LGU partners where also able to develop
contingency plans based from the PCVA
results. The CPs was guided by “worst case”
scenarios and was tested through the
conduct of Community Drills or simulation
lead by the Barangay and Municipal DRRM
Office. The drills are also inclusive wherein it
considered PWDs in all
