JASON: Gawad KALASAG: Search for Excellence in Disaster Risk Management and Humanitarian Assistance (Kalamidad at Sakuna Labanan, Sariling Galing ang Kaligtasan) Kalasag is the Filipino term for shield used by early Filipinos as a means of protection from attacks of enemies or harmful animals. Relatedly, Gawad KALASAG was conceived to protect or

shield high risk communities against hazards by encouraging participation of various stakeholders in designing and implementing Disaster Risk Management (DRM) programs. Initiated in 1998, Gawad KALASAG is NDCCs current recognition scheme in its search for excellence on DRM and humanitarian assistance. It provides the mechanism in obtaining sustained commitment and support from the highest level of government by recognizing the exceptional contributions of the various DRM practitioners in rebuilding the resilience of nations and communities to disaster. At the same time, Gawad KALASAG continues to promote the spirit of volunteerism among agencies and individuals in providing the much needed help during the response phase of DRM. Practitioners of DRM include the Local Disaster Coordinating Councils (LDCCs) at the provincial, city, municipal and barangay levels. The LDCCs serve as the frontliners in preparing for, responding to and recovering from any type of disaster or emergency. Moreover, Non-government Organizations (NGOs), Private Volunteer Organizations, and Government Emergency Managers are the prime contributors and major stakeholders/partners in the implementation of DRM and humanitarian response programs.
