Strategies
1. Advocacy and Information, Education and Communication (IEC)
Mobilize and harness the print and broadcast media to regularly communicate, warn and educate people nationwide about DRRM. Evidence-based advocacy is key for effective information sharing and making people understand DRRM.
2. Competency-based capability building
Customized training programs should be developed to ensure that people are trained based on the needed skills in the different DRRM aspects.
3. Contingency Planning More commonly used before as only part of disaster preparedness activities, contingency planning is now a living document which is updated and used in all the different aspects of DRRM
4. Education on DRRM and CCA for ALL
education through the integration of DRR concepts in the curriculum (i.e., basic education, NSTP, bachelors’ degree) and for the public sector employees
5. Institutionalization of DRRMCs and LDRRMOs
6. Mainstreaming of DRR in ALL plans
In all 4 aspects, we need to ensure that DRRM (and CCA) is mainstreamed in the various programs, plans, projects of either national or local government units, including the private sector groups and other members of the community.
7. Research, Technology Development and Knowledge Management
With the changes in the climate and technological advances, we need research to help us innovate, adapt and maximize the use of our resources to help our people reduce and manage the risks to disasters. This also include database development and the documentation, replication and recognition of good practices
8. Monitoring, evaluation and learning
Feedback mechanisms are important aspects of gauging performance targets and learning from our experiences on the ground
9. Networking and partnership building between and among stakeholders, media and tiers of overnment
