THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
Natural disasters have become an increasingly prevalent problem globally,
with the number of recorded disasters doubling over the past two decades. Nine out
of every ten of these disasters have been climate related. The Philippines, located on
the “Pacific Ring of Fire” and along the Pacific typhoon belt, is particularly vulnerable
to natural hazards such as typhoons, earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions,
landslides, and fires.
At the international level, the United Nations has emphasized the importance
of disaster preparedness for effective response in light of the increasing trend of
disasters related to climate change. The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk
Reduction (UNISDR) is the leading agency for disaster risk reduction at the global
level, and it has developed a number of frameworks, strategies, and guidelines for
disaster risk reduction.
One of the key frameworks developed by the UNISDR is the Sendai Framework
for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, which is the global plan for reducing disaster
risk and loss. The Sendai Framework emphasizes the importance of disaster
preparedness and the need to build the resilience of communities to disasters. It also
recognizes the link between disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation,
and it calls for the integration of disaster risk reduction into climate change
adaptation efforts.
Another important initiative of the UNISDR is the Global Platform for Disaster
Risk Reduction, which is the biennial global forum for disaster risk reduction. The
Global
Platform
brings
together
governments,
UN
agencies,
international
organizations, and other stakeholders to share experiences, best practices, and
innovations in disaster risk reduction.
The United Nations also has several specialized agencies such as United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and United Nations Children's Fund
(UNICEF) which also work on disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation
by providing technical assistance, capacity building, and funding to countries
around the world.
At the national level, the Philippines is highly prone to natural disasters due
to its geographical location in the "Pacific Ring of Fire" and along the Pacific typhoon
belt. The country has been constantly improving its disaster management structures
and resources, including communication and coordination efforts, in response to the
devastating impacts of past natural disasters such as Typhoon Haiyan in 2013.
In 2010, the Philippine government signed Republic Act 10121, also known
as the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010, to further
enhance the country's disaster management and response capacity. The law aims to
promote a systematic, comprehensive, and proactive approach to managing disasters
in the Philippines, and emphasizes the importance of reducing disaster risks and
building community resilience.
Under RA 10121, the government established the National Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), which serves as the country's main
policy-making, coordinating, and administrative body for disaster risk reduction and
management. The law also requires the establishment of Local Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Offices (LDRRMOs) in every province, city, and
municipality, to ensure that disaster risk reduction and management efforts are
implemented at the local level.
Moreover, the law mandates the integration of disaster risk reduction and
management into the development processes and policies of the government,
ensuring that disaster risk reduction and management considerations are
mainstreamed into the government's overall development agenda. It also encourages
the participation and involvement of various stakeholders, including civil society
organizations and the private sector, in disaster risk reduction and management
efforts.
At the local level, the Bangsamoro Government has recognized the importance
of disaster risk reduction and management and climate change adaptation as
outlined in the Republic Act 11054, also known as the Bangsamoro Organic Law.
The law provides that the Bangsamoro Government shall ensure and support the
preservation and enrichment of culture, promote health and safety, enhance the
right of the people to a balanced ecology, encourage and support the development of
appropriate and self-reliant scientific and technological capabilities, improve public
morals, enhance economic prosperity and social justice, promote full employment
among its residents, maintain peace and order, and preserve the comfort and
convenience of its inhabitants.
In light of these efforts, the Bangsamoro Government has also established the
Bangsamoro Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council and the Bangsamoro
Disaster Risk Reduction Management Operation Center through an executive order.
This thesis aims to assess the effectiveness of the Bangsamoro Rapid
Emergency Action on Disaster Incidence (BANGSAMORO READI) in disaster
preparedness and disaster responsiveness in Maguindanao. The study will be
conducted in the context of the national and local disaster risk reduction and
management policies and frameworks, as well as the legal basis provided by the
Republic Act 11054 and the executive order on the organization of the Bangsamoro
Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council and the establishment of the
Bangsamoro Disaster Risk Reduction Management Operation Center. The study will
evaluate how well the program is working, identify gaps, and make recommendations
for future improvements.
The study will specifically focus on the Bangsamoro READI program and its
role in disaster preparedness and disaster responsiveness in Maguindanao. The
program aims to improve the capacity of the Bangsamoro Government and local
communities to respond to and recover from disasters through the development of
emergency plans, early warning systems, and capacity building for disaster risk
reduction and management.
The study will examine the effectiveness of the program in terms of its
implementation, its impact on disaster preparedness and responsiveness in the
region, and the challenges and opportunities for improvement. The research will
include a review of existing literature on disaster risk reduction and management,
as well as data collection and analysis through surveys.
The findings of this study will contribute to the understanding of the
effectiveness of the Bangsamoro READI program in disaster preparedness and
disaster responsiveness in Maguindanao. It will provide insights into the challenges
and opportunities for improving the program and will inform the development of
future disaster risk reduction and management policies and programs in the region.
Overall, the study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the
effectiveness of the Bangsamoro READI program in disaster preparedness and
disaster responsiveness in Maguindanao, and to contribute to the improvement of
disaster risk reduction and management efforts in the region.

Variables
The diagram shows the conceptual framework of the study, which describes
the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable.
The independent variable is "The level of effectiveness of Bangsamoro READi
in the area of disaster preparedness in terms of: a. Disaster Management Planning,
b. Simulation exercise and disaster preparedness, c. Search and rescue equipment."
This variable is considered independent because it is the factor that the study seeks
to assess or measure, and it is assumed to influence the dependent variable.
The dependent variable is "The level of effectiveness of Bangsamoro READi in
the area of disaster response in terms of: a. Search, Rescue and Retrieval, b.
Distribution of emergency relief, c. Disaster response and rapid needs and damage
assessment." This variable is considered dependent because it is the outcome that is
expected to be affected by the independent variable. In other words, the level of
effectiveness of Bangsamoro READi in disaster preparedness is assumed to impact
the level of effectiveness of Bangsamoro READi in disaster response.
The conceptual framework suggests that there is a relationship between the
level of effectiveness of Bangsamoro READi in disaster preparedness and the level of
effectiveness of Bangsamoro READi in disaster response. The study seeks to assess
this relationship and determine the impact of disaster preparedness on disaster
response. By doing so, the study aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of the
Bangsamoro READi program and identify areas for improvement in disaster risk
reduction and management in the region.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Disaster as a sudden calamitous event bringing great damage, loss, or
destruction. Republic Act 10121 or the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction
Management Act of 2010 defined disaster as a serious disruption of the functioning
of a community or a society involving widespread human, material, economic or
environmental losses and impacts, which exceeds the ability of the affected
community or society to cope using its own resources. Disasters are often described
as a result of the combination of: the exposure to a hazard; the conditions of
vulnerability that are present; and insufficient capacity or measures to reduce or
cope with the potential negative consequences. Disaster impacts may include loss of
life, injury, disease and other negative effects on human, physical, mental and social
well-being, together with damage to property, destruction of assets, loss of services,
social and economic disruption and environmental degradation.
Disasters happen when a community is “not appropriately resourced or
organized to withstand the impact, and whose population is vulnerable because of
poverty, exclusion or socially disadvantaged in some way” (Mizutori, 2020).
The BARMM authority has organized a separate DRRM agency, the
Bangsamoro Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (BDRRMC) to replace the
former Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office. Under Republic
Act 11054, the Organic Law of BARMM, 2017, DRRM are under exclusive oversight
of the Bangsamoro Government. At its inaugural meeting in July 2019, BDRRMC
launched an emergency and disaster response office, the Rapid Emergency Action
on Disaster Incidence (Readi-BARMM), based on BARMM Executive Order 12, which
provided for the establishment of the BDRRMC and a DRRM operation center, the
Readi-BARMM. Readi BARMM is also the information management facility and
clearing house for reports on emergencies in BARMM. The BARMM Ministry on
Interior and Local Government (MILG) serves a coordinating role, bringing together
the ministers of the Bangsamoro Government, LGUs, and NDRRMC on programs and
activities pertaining to disasters. In addition, MILG coordinates with OCD in
monitoring and responding to displacements resulting from human-induced and
natural
disasters
within
BARMM.

Disaster risk reduction and management is the systematic process of using
administrative directives, organizations, and operational skills and capacities to
implement strategies, policies and improved coping capacities in order to lessen the
adverse impacts of hazards and the possibility of disaster (RA 10121).
Disaster preparedness, on the other hand, is the knowledge and capacities
developed by governments, professional response and recovery organizations,
communities and individuals to effectively anticipate, respond to, and recover from,
the impacts of likely, imminent or current hazard events or conditions. Preparedness
action is carried out within the context of disaster risk reduction and management
with the aim of averting disaster. At the same time, preparedness aims to build the
capacities needed to efficiently manage all types of emergencies and achieve orderly
transitions from response to sustained recovery. Preparedness is based on a sound
analysis of disaster risk and good linkages with early warning systems, and includes
such activities as contingency planning, stockpiling of equipment and supplies, the
development of arrangements for coordination, evacuation and public information,
and associated training and field exercises. These must be supported by formal
institutional, legal, and budgetary capacities.

program.
Disaster response is defined as the provision of emergency services and public
assistance during or immediately after a disaster in order to save lives, reduce health
impacts, ensure public safety and meet the basic subsistence needs of the people
affected. Disaster response is predominantly focused on immediate and short-term
needs and is sometimes called “disaster relief” (RA 10121).
In the context of disaster response, the NDRRMC and LDRRMCs provide
support functions to the affected LGUs. This includes coordinating the transition
from immediate emergency response operations to early recovery functions
undertaken by government agencies and the cluster system. The DRRM Act of 2010
stipulates that Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Offices (LDRRMO) be
established in every province, city, and municipality under the LGU. LDRRMOs and
LDRRMCs are responsible for organizing, training, and supervising local emergency
response teams. Under this law, LGUs are also required to allocate at least 5% of
their estimated revenue from regular sources to the Local Disaster Risk Reduction
and Management Fund. This revenue is used for pre- and post-disaster activities and
programs including construction of dams or embankments to mitigate flood risks,
risk assessment, training, life-saving equipment, relief items, shelter, alternative
livelihood, and construction or rehabilitation of damaged infrastructure facilities and
evacuation centers. (Disaster Management Reference Handbook)
