Objective of the Session

• Understand the structure of the Report of Local Disaster Risk

Reduction Management Fund (LDRRMF) Utilization;

• Identify the sources of, and allowed expenditures from, the

LDRRMF;

• Analyze a sample Report of LDRRMF Utilization; and

• Construct a variety of possibilities of using the report for

academic, research, and capacity building programs.

Does our local government

use the LDRRM Fund the way

it should be?

The Philippines has been a gateway to

countless natural disasters…• 1881 – Haiphong Typhoon from

Vietnam (casualties: 20,000)

• 1976 – Magnitude 7.9 Earthquake

with Tsunami at the Moro Gulf

(casualties: 5,000 – 8000)

• 1984 – Typhoon Nitang at the

Visayas (casualties: 1,363)

• 1991 – Typhoon Uring at Ormoc,

Leyte (casualties: 5,100)Leyte (casualties: 5,100)

Guinsaugon (casualties: 1,126)

• 2011 – Typhoon Washi (Sendong)

at Northern Mindanao (casualties:

1,080)

• 2012 – Typhoon Bopha (Pablo) at

• Outright avoidance of adverse impacts of hazards and related

disasters, such asdisasters, such as

• Construction of dams or embankments that eliminate flood risks;

• Land use regulations to disallow any settlement in high-risk zones;

• Seismic engineering designs to ensure survival in case of earthquakes

Report Report

(A sample report is shown here from the

FDPP and is analyzed)

Some thoughts on possible

research/capacity building programs

• Research activities

• Integrate LDRRM Fund utilization on the speed of

recovery programs taking place in affected areas

• Analyze the movement of fund utilization over time • Analyze the movement of fund utilization over time

before and after interventions

• Capacity building

• Train people on understanding these documents

• Use these documents and triangulate through

participatory on-site audits of the physical presence of

acquired items for DRRM as part of transparency efforts
