The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan (NDRRMP) is a long-term national sectoral plan aiming to address four main priority areas as disaster prevention and mitigation, disaster preparedness, disaster response, rehabilitation and recovery.
The NDRRMP includes comprehensive measures on disasters risk prevention, mitigation and preparedness among its long-term goals, objectives and activities.
The NDRRMP outlines the activities aimed at strengthening the capacity of the national government and the local government units (LGUs) together with partner stakeholders, to build the disaster resilience of communities and to institutionalize arrangements and measures for reducing disaster risks, including projected climate risks and enhancing disaster preparedness and response capabilities at all levels. It highlights, among others, the importance of mainstream disaster risk reduction and management and climate change adaptation in the development processes such as policy formulation, socio-economic development planning, budgeting and governance particularly in the area of environment, agriculture, water, energy, health, education, poverty reduction, land-use and urban planning and public infrastructure and housing among others. The NDRRMP largely addresses both structural issues by including measures on providing temporary shelter and other structural needs, as well as non-structural issues by providing basic social services to affected population, addressing psychological needs of affected population, setting up coordinated and integrated system for early recovery, etc. The Plan closely links disaster risk reduction and management to climate change and aims to construct disaster and climate change resilient infrastructure.
The Plan sets out a number of implementation strategies, such as: advocacy and information, capacity building, education on disaster risk reduction and management and climate change and its institutionalization, mainstreaming, involving research, technology development and knowledge management, as well as monitoring, evaluation and learning, networking and partnerships building among stakeholders, media and government. In each of the activities under the NDRRMP, agency leads and implementing partner agencies were identified. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council has the main responsibility of ensuring the implementation and monitoring of the NDRRMP.
