 COMMUNITY-BASED DISASTER RISK
REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT TRAINING
TRAINING COURSE DESIGN

Background
The Philippines is one of the most hazard-prone countries in the world. In most disasters,
the locals (family members, neighbours, barangay officials) are the first and/or only ones to
provide aid and assistance. The people often have no one else to turn to because it could
take hours, even days, for outside help to arrive. Thus, it is always best to rely on
community members and resources to prepare for hazards and respond to disasters. Such an
approach is called Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
(CBDRRM). CBDRRM is a process in which at-risk communities are actively engaged in
the identification, analysis, treatment, monitoring, and evaluation of disaster risks in order to
reduce the vulnerabilities and enhance capacities. Through CBDRRM, ordinary community
members are able to collectively reduce disaster risks on their own.
RA 10121 promotes CBDRRM by mandating barangays to collectively act on their own to
address the disaster risks in their localities. Moreover, it calls for an integrated, coordinated,
multi-sectoral, inter-agency, and community-based approach to disaster risk reduction. The
law allows ordinary people to be involved in the DRRM activities in their localities.
In this regard, the course design for the conduct of CBDRRM Training is hereby prepared.
As differentiated from the Basic Course on DRRM, CBDRRM focuses on the
operationalization of DRRM at the grassroots level.

General Objective
At the end of the training, the participants will be able to obtain the knowledge, skills and
attitude required in cascading practical DRRM approaches that are applicable for communities
before, during and after disasters.
 Specific Objectives
Upon completion of the course, the participants will be able to:
1. Explain the local disaster situation in connection with the overall Philippine disaster
risk profile;
2. Describe the overview of CBDRRM and its legal bases;
3. Discuss the key steps involved in CBDRRM process;
4. Explain the necessary community and family DRRM mechanisms before, during,
and after a disaster in accordance with the four (4) thematic areas; and
5. Determine the immediate actions to implement the DRRM plan at the community
level.

Module Descriptions
MODULES DESCRIPTIONS
Module 1: The Philippine This module provides an overview of the Philippine disaster risk
Disaster Context profile in relation with the local community situation. It highlights
how DRRM should be made a part of the community life, infused in
their culture, integrated in their values and customs. The module
also introduces the basic disaster and climate change concepts.
Module 2: This module provides an overview of the concept of CBDRRM and
Understanding its legal bases. It highlights how CBDRRM works in terms of
CBDRRM building the capacities of communities to be able to help themselves
without relying on external help.
Module 3: CBDRRM The module determines key steps and approaches in the application
Process of CBDRRM. It underscores the importance of undertaking
community-level risk assessment. This process includes assessment
of the hazard, vulnerability, exposure and capacity assessment of the
area. Using the CBDRRM process, the community will be able to
analyze and fill-in the gaps in their capacities in order to effectively
implement DRRM in their respective areas.
Module 4: DRRM This module underscores the essential community-level activities
Thematic Areas and mechanisms as applied in the four thematic areas of DRRM:
Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, Disaster Preparedness, Disaster
Response and Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery. The module
serves as a guide for the communities in coming up with their
respective local DRRM programs, projects and activities.
Module 5: Action Planning This module provides an opportunity for the participants to set
precise goals and targets to cascade CBDRRM in their respective
areas.
Module 6: Practicum The module provides an opportunity for the participants to
(for Training of demonstrate the cascading of CBDRRM to communities. It also
Trainers only) introduces some instructing and facilitating tips that can be useful
during actual training.
