I. RATIONALE
RATIO
The Philippines is known to be one of the most disaster-prone
countries in the world. Its geographic location makes it prone to several kinds
of calamities. It has experienced hazards such as earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, and typhoons. The impact of these has caused several billions of
pesos in damages. More so, these disasters are coupled with the loss of
human lives and development gains. Because of such, RA 10121 was
formulated and in this, enhancing disaster preparedness has been identified
as a major component in disaster risk reduction and management.
One of the activities identified in the NDRRMP is the conduct of
simulations as a tool to enhance disaster preparedness. DILG in coordination
with OCD were identified as the main implementers of this component. In
response to this mandate, both agencies in partnership with World Food
Programme has conducted both trainings and municipal level simulations
across Sorsogon, Benguet, Laguna, and Cagayan.
The simulation trainings and exercises have produced a pool of
facilitators, from the national, regional, provincial, and municipal levels,
capable of conducting simulations themselves. Furthermore, municipality
disaster preparedness was enhanced through the use of simulations as a
preparedness tool, especially in the wake of the typhoon and monsoon
seasons. Contingency plans were tested and emergency response systems
evaluated and improved. Simulation activities have also become opportunities
to clarify DRRM policies such as the activation of the LDRRM Fund and to
strengthen the organizational structures of LDRRMCs.
As part of a broad disaster preparedness approach to expand and
mainstream simulation activities into additional regions and continue to equip
local DRRM officials with necessary skills, a training course on
LDRRMsimulation facilitation will be conducted for OCD and DILG officials
from the national level, and Regions 6, 11, 4a, CAR, 2, and 5.
II. OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of the course, the participants will be able to:
1. adopt in the LDRRM Simulation Methodology. They will be able to cascade
training down to the local levels. Additionally, participants are expected have

the capability to conduct simulations and thereby use it as a tool for
enhancing the disaster preparedness of a DRRMC.
