  Disaster Management  Disastermanagement is the discipline that involves preparing, warning, supporting and rebuilding societies when natural or man-made disasters occur.  It is the continuous process in an effort to avoid or minimize the impact of disasters resulting from hazards.
• 25.
  Disaster Management  Effective disaster management relies on thorough integration of emergency plans at all levels of government and non- government involvement.
• 26.
  Goals of DisasterManagement  Avoid or reduce the potential losses from hazards  Assure prompt and appropriate assistance to victims of disaster  Achieve rapid and effective recovery.
• 27.
  Disaster Management Cycle  Illustrates the ongoing process by which the government and the private sector plan for and reduce the impact of disasters, react during and immediately following a disaster, and take steps to recover after a disaster has occurred.
• 28.
  Disaster Management Cycle  Appropriate actions at all points in the cycle lead to greater preparedness, better warnings, reduced vulnerability or the prevention of disasters during the next iteration of the cycle.
• 29.
  Disaster Management Cycle  The complete disaster management cycle includes the shaping of public policies and plans that either modify the causes of disasters or mitigate their effects on people, property, and infrastructure.
• 30.
  Disaster Management Cycle
• 31.
  Response  Includes actions taken to save lives, prevent damage to property, and to preserve the environment during emergencies or disasters.  It is the implementation of action plans.
• 32.
  Recovery  Includes actions that assist a community to return to a sense of normalcy after a disaster.
• 33.
  Mitigation  Any activitythat reduces either the chance of a hazard taking place or a hazard turning into disaster.  It includes building codes; zoning and land use management; regulations and safety codes; preventive health care; and public education.
• 34.
  Risk reduction  Anticipatory measures and actions that seek to avoid future risks as a result of a disaster.
• 35.
  Prevention  Avoiding adisaster at the eleventh hour.  Includes activities which actually eliminate or reduce the probability of disaster occurrence, or reduce the effects of unavoidable disasters.
• 36.
  Preparedness  Plans madeto save lives or property, and help the response and rescue service operations.  This phase covers implementation/operation, early warning systems and capacity building so the population will react appropriately when an early warning is issued.
• 37.
  Take Note!  The disaster management phases illustrated here do not always, or even generally, occur in isolation or in this precise order. Often phases of the cycle overlap and the length of each phase greatly depends on the severity of the disaster.
• 38.
  NDCC  The National Disaster Control Center (NDCC), was created on October 19, 1970, as the forerunner of the National Disaster Coordinating Council created under PD 1566. It serves as the highest policy-making body for disasters in the country and includes almost all Department Secretaries as members.

  NDCC  It isheaded by the Sec. of National Defense as Chairman.  The disaster coordinating councils (DCCs) from the regional, provincial, city and municipal level, on the other hand, are composed of representatives of national government agencies operating at these levels and local officials concerned.
