National Laws
 Republic Act 10121
Disaster Risk Reduction Management Act
 What is RA 10121?

“An Act Strengthening the (1)Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction

and Management System, Providing for the (2)National Disaster
Risk Reduction and Management Framework, and
Institutionalizing the (3)Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Plan, Appropriating (4)Fund Therefor and For Other Purposes”
 What is RA 10121?
Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010
is a new law which transforms the Philippines’ Disaster
Management System from Disaster Relief and Response towards
Disaster Risk Reduction
 Why do we need a new law?
• Under the old law, disaster management centered only around the
hazard and impacts of disaster and assumed that disaster cannot be
avoided.

• The government was focused on disaster response and never on

reduction.
Why do we need to give importance to disasters?

• Disasters cause destruction of communities, death of millions, and

collapse of people’s livelihoods.

• It leaves indelible impacts on physical landscapes and on people’s minds.
