Module 1
Overview of Disaster Management and Disaster Risk Reduction
The interest in Disaster Management and Risk Reduction is gaining
momentum the world over due to the ever occurrence of many types
of natural disasters that have a negative impact in development and
life in general.. Presently there has been a paradigm shift to
participatory in dealing Disaster Management and Risk Reduction.
This module focuses on:
 Operational definitions of Disaster Management and Risk
Reduction and Monitoring and Evaluation systems and related
terminology
 Hazards and natural disasters terminology
 Purposes of Managing and Reducing Risk on national projects
/programme development
 Basic understanding of Unstable Environments and and
disasters
 Types and Nature of common natural disasters in the region
 Tools for integrating disaster management and risk reduction
 Why advocate for Disaster Management and Risk Reduction in
developmental initiatives
MODULE 2
Preparing for Disaster Management and Reduction
Reduction at the initial process of Policy & project planning
Carrying out project planning at any level without considering
strategies of Disaster Management and Risk Reduction at the initial
stages has serious consequences – a participatory approach to
developmental interventions will be used. This module will cover:
 Situational analysis
 Strategic planning process
 Project Cycle Management- Integrating Disaster Management
into the project cycle.
 Knowing the Results Chain

DMRR strategies in developmental intervention at
constituency levels.
MODULE 3
Baselines and milestones

Disaster Management Risk Reduction processes. It informs about the
preparedness of all stakeholders in Disaster Management and Risk
Reduction and where you are heading to as organisation or country.
This module will cover:
 Baseline concepts
 Common challenges in collecting baseline data
 Basic guidelines to be followed
 Identification and formulation of appropriate indicators and
use of baseline data
MODULE 4
Data Collection and Analysis and Tools Used in Natural
Hazards
Once information needs and objectives have been identified,
the next step would be the collecting, collating and analysis of
data. A wide range of tools and techniques are used in the

affecting nations. This module will cover;
 Identifying all natural disasters that occur mostly in a
country.
 Tools and methods for data collection
 Tools and methods for data analysis
 Formulation of assumptions and risk rating
 Designing appropriate data collection and analysis
templates to effectively capture stakeholder responses
 Consequences of using or neglecting hazards information
in development project cycle planning.
 Incorporating hazards information in project planning
MODULE 5
Logical and Results Based Frameworks and methods
Frameworks are useful planning tools for Disaster
Management and Risk Reduction during project design and
management. The logical framework (log frame) in particular
is preferred by most organizations as it has proved valuable in
many different contexts. This module will cover:
 Purposes of frameworks in Disaster Management and
Reduction Reduction
 Participatory evaluation methods and tools
 Elements of log frame as a tool for planning

 Logical framework matrix and results based management.
 Integration of disaster management and risk concerns in
log frame analysis.
MODULE 6

approach/tool in projects/programmes in assessment of
natural disasters, vulnerability and risks.
 Understanding livelihoods and terminology
thereof
 Approaches used in sustainable livelihoods
 Sustainable Livelihoods Frameworks
 Mainstreaming sustainable livelihoods in
development projects.
 Tools for assessing natural disasters occurrence
in Sustainable Livelihoods Analysis.
MODULE 10

management and risk reduction initiatives
SIA is tool that is used in for assessing disaster risk reduction .This
session will cover
 Understanding social impacts
 Social analysis and social risk
 SIA as tool of assessing natural disasters
