aims to reduce the

and strategies, to prevent new disaster risks, reduce
existing disaster risks, and manage residual risks,
contributing to the strengthening of resilience and
reduction of losses.
Disaster Risk Reduction Management (DRRM)
what is DRRM
Disaster Risk Reduction Management (DRRM)
Disaster risk management actions can be
categorized into:
1) Prospective Disaster Risk Management,
2) Corrective Disaster Risk Management and,
3) Compensatory Disaster Risk Management (also
referred to as Residual Risk Management).
[How does Disaster Risk Reduction work?]
PROGRESSIVE REDUSCTION OF RISK
PLANNING FOR RISK REDUCTION
PARTICIPATION AND SELF-RELIANCE
APPROPRIATE TECHNICAL SUPPORT
CROSSCUTTING ISSUES
➢ Identify vulnerabilities, capacities, and hazards
PROGRESSIVE REDUSCTION OF RISK
➢ Plan for preparedness, mitigation, and
prevention
PLANNING FOR RISK REDUCTION
➢ Organizing community into appropriate
governance structures
PARTICIPATION AND SELF-RELIANCE

mitigation
preparedness
it can be natural (earthquakes, floods,
drought, cyclones, wildfires, extreme
temperatures, etc.) and human-made (conflicts,
industrial accidents, severe pollution, etc.).
hazard
is the extent to which
people lack protection or buffering capacity
against possible hazards.
Vulnerability to a hazard
Formula:
DR = (V*H)/C
disaster risk reduction encompasses three areas
of activities:
- Prevention or mitigation of hazards
- Reduction of vulnerabilities to hazards
- Strengthening capacities to withstand or
cope with hazards.
