This is the Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction (DRRR) Quarter 2 Module 19 for Senior High School. It is titled “Policies of DRRM – The Philippine DRRM Law RA 10121 and Its Implementing Rules and Regulations.” DepEd Region 4A CALABARZON developed it as a self-learning module (First Edition, 2021). It helps learners understand and explain Republic Act 10121, the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010, and the global frameworks behind it.
What learners will learn
Learning competency: Explain DRR-related laws and policies (DRR11/12-IIi-j-47).
By the end of the lesson, learners should be able to:
- discuss the international and national mandates for disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) policies and programs;
- understand RA 10121 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR); and
- conduct a simple disaster risk assessment in the school or community.
Global frameworks behind Philippine DRRM
The module explains that Philippine DRRM policies are anchored on three international agreements:
- Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. UN member states, including the Philippines, adopted it in March 2015. It aims to greatly reduce disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods, health, and assets over 15 years.
- Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) 2005-2015. It came from a world conference held on January 18-22, 2005 in Kobe, Hyogo, Japan. Its goal was to substantially reduce disaster losses.
- ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER). All ten ASEAN member states had ratified it by December 24, 2009. It gives priority to disaster risk reduction and regional cooperation.
Key ideas of RA 10121
The law and its features
RA 10121 was signed into law on May 27, 2010. It sets the basic policies and coordination system for DRRM through DRRM councils at the national, regional, and local levels. Its salient features include:
- coherence with international frameworks;
- good governance through transparency and accountability;
- empowerment of local government units (LGUs) and civil society organizations (CSOs) as key partners;
- integration of DRRM into the educational system;
- a DRRM Fund at the national and local levels; and
- rules on declaring a state of calamity, remedial measures, prohibited acts, and penalties.
The module also lists the 16 state policies of the law. These range from addressing the root causes of vulnerability to making DRR measures gender-responsive and respectful of indigenous knowledge.
Who is involved
| Group | Role in the module |
|---|---|
| National government | Departments and agencies that are members of the NDRRMC |
| LGUs | Lead in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from disasters; the “frontliners” and “first responders” |
| CSOs, private sector, volunteers | Take part from planning to implementation and add to government resources |
| Communities | The “most vulnerable sectors” but also agents of change |
Structure of the DRRM councils
- National DRRM Council (NDRRMC): Chaired by the Secretary of National Defense. The Vice-Chairs are DILG (preparedness), DSWD (response), DOST (prevention and mitigation), and NEDA (rehabilitation and recovery). It advises the President and recommends the declaration of a state of calamity.
- Regional DRRM Councils (RDRRMC): Headed by the Regional Director of the Office of Civil Defense (OCD). They coordinate, supervise, and evaluate the local councils.
- Local DRRM Councils (LDRRMC): They approve and monitor local DRRM plans and can order forced or preemptive evacuation.
- Local DRRM Offices (LDRRMO): Found in provinces, cities, and municipalities, with Barangay DRRM Committees at the barangay level. They run local programs, early warning systems, and trainings.
The lead council depends on the area affected: the Barangay Development Council for one barangay, the city or municipal council for two or more barangays, and so on up to the NDRRMC for two or more regions.
State of calamity, prohibited acts, and funds
The module covers these parts of the IRR:
- State of calamity: The President declares it on the NDRRMC’s recommendation. The local Sanggunian declares it on the LDRRMC’s recommendation, based on a damage assessment.
- Remedial measures: Price ceilings on basic necessities, monitoring of overpricing and hoarding, and no-interest loans for the most affected people.
- Prohibited acts: For example, selling, diverting, or forcibly seizing relief goods, relabeling relief goods to claim them, and stealing hazard-monitoring equipment.
- Funds: At least 5% of a local government’s estimated regular revenue goes to the LDRRM Fund. Thirty percent (30%) of both the local and national DRRM funds is set aside as a Quick Response Fund. The OCD gets a one-billion-peso revolving fund.
NDRRM Plan 2011-2028
The plan’s vision is “Safer, adaptive and disaster resilient Filipino communities toward sustainable development.” It has four thematic areas, each with a lead agency:
| Thematic area | Lead agency |
|---|---|
| Disaster prevention and mitigation | DOST |
| Disaster preparedness | DILG |
| Disaster response | DSWD |
| Disaster rehabilitation and recovery | NEDA |
How to use this module
- Answer the 15-item pretest (What I Know) on a separate sheet.
- Do the review activities: You Complete Me (fill in DRRM terms) and Logo Quiz (identify government agencies).
- Try Activity 3, where you plan rules before, during, and after a typhoon in roles such as barangay chairman, doctor, and President.
- Read the discussion (What Is It), then do the practice activities. These include matching agencies to scenarios, a report on a government DRR program, and a disaster risk assessment around your school.
- Finish with What I Have Learned, the advocacy questions, the 15-item assessment, and the program proposal.
Learners: Use the answer key honestly, and only after answering.
Parents: Help your child find an NDRRMC member agency in your community for the interview activity if there is no internet at home.
Teachers: Check the printed answer key before using it to grade. Some answers do not match the discussion. For example, the lesson describes the NDRRMC as the multisectoral body that advises the President and recommends a state of calamity, and describes the RDRRMC as the body that supervises the local councils. The Activity 3 key also lists earthquake effects that do not fit the typhoon task.

What’s In
[illustration: hand holding a puzzle piece]
On the previous lesson you learned about the necessary items needed for a survival kit. An emergency kit/first aid kit is very essential in times of disasters. If survival kits play a vital role in one family in time of disaster, the Philippine government also plays a vital role in disaster risk reduction and management. Do you remember the recent eruption of the Taal Volcano that caused a lot of disasters and calamities? Many human and animal casualties and infrastructure damages affected the economy, properties, and the lives of millions of Filipino families especially in the Province of Batangas and nearby provinces. Government agencies show their combined efforts during the said disaster as well as with the ongoing rehabilitation in the affected areas. In connection with this, people must know about the different policies and services that the government provides towards managing disasters. In this module, you will be able to explain Disaster Risk Reduction related laws and policies.

Global Policy Frameworks
The Philippine government policies and programs for disaster risk reduction and management was anchored to Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015, and ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response. These were formulated to reduce the risks during a disaster as it gives concrete guides for national government, local government, organizations, communities, and stakeholders.
Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030
According to National Economic and Development Authority, 2020, this was adopted by UN member states, including the Philippines, in March 2015. The Sendai Framework aims to achieve the following outcomes over the next 15 years: the substantial reduction of disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihood, and health and in the economic, physical, social, cultural and environmental assets of persons, businesses, communities and countries.
Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) 2005-2015
According to International Strategy for Disaster Reduction, Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015 is a world conference on disaster reduction that was held from January 18-22, 2005 in Kobe, Hyogo Japan. The HFA is a comprehensive, action‐oriented response to international concern about the growing impacts of disasters on individuals, communities & national development. Its goal was to substantially reduced disaster loses in live and in social, economic and environmental assets of communities and countries.
ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response
On December 24, 2009, the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER) was ratified by all ten (10) ASEAN member states that include the Philippines. It focuses on the region’s policy backbone on disaster management by giving priority to disaster risk reduction, thus enabling a more proactive regional framework for cooperation, coordination, technical assistance, and resource mobilization in all aspects of disaster management.
What is the DRRM Act?
According to National Economic and Development Authority, 2020, the Philippine DRRM Act of 2010 or Republic Act No. 10121 as signed into law on May 27, 2010, provides the basic policies and coordination mechanism for DRRM through the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils (DRRMC) at the national, regional, and local levels. Section 15 of the law specifically indicates the criteria for identifying the lead DRRMC in “preparing for, responding to and recovering from the effects of any disaster.”
What are the Salient Features of the DRRM Act?
According to Disaster Risk Reduction Network Philippines, the following are the salient features of the DRRM Act:
A. Coherence with international framework B. Adherence to universal norms, principles, and standards of humanitarian assistance C. Good governance through transparency and accountability D. Strengthened institutional mechanism for DRRM E. Integrated, coordinated, multi‐sectoral, inter‐agency, and community‐based approach to disaster risk reduction F. Empowerment of local government units (LGUs) and civil society organizations (CSOs) as key partners in disaster risk reduction G. Integration of the DRRM into the educational system H. Establishment of the DRRM Fund (DRRMF) at the national and local levels I. Providing for provisions on the declaration of a state of calamity, remedial measures, prohibited acts and penalties
Who are involved in DRRM as mandated in the DRRM act?
| National government | Local government units (LGU) | Civil society organizations (CSO), the private Sector and volunteers | Communities |
