COMMUNITY-MANAGED IMPLEMENTATION

3.1. COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION

It is primordial that in order to implement the various plans in our

community, manpower is imperative. The enactment of Republic Act 10121 or
known as An Act Strengthening the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management System Providing for the National Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Framework and Institutionalizing the National Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Plan, Appropriating Funds Therefore and for other
Purposes paved way for the composition of the LDRRMC down to the BDRRMC.
The participation of CSO and other organizations is stated under Section 2. m.,
“Engage the participation of civil society organizations (CSOs), the private
sector and volunteers in the government’s disaster risk reduction programs
towards complementation of resources and effective delivery of services to the
citizenry”, and Sec. 2.d of the same Act for the community-based participation.

The BDRRMC and various groups and institutions/organizations such as

Vulauan Ta Barangay, Task Force on Youth Development, TUVODA, with
identified roles and responsibilities, in our community are deemed necessary
partners in Disaster Risk Management for the implementation of this plan. (See
annex)

BARANGAY CALLAO ALICIA, ISABELA 27

 Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan
To increase capacity for the different groups and organizations in our
locality, continuous capacity building must be provided to them. Similiarly,
they should also fan out to the community. It is also the objective of the
barangay to increase stakeholders’ involvement and further enhance the
strategies, tools, and methodologies used for a higher level of community
preparedness and the mitigation of disasters.

Grassroots involvement is also a principal consideration, especially of

children, senior citizens, person with disability. Focus group discussion, series
of consultations, sharing of ideas and information exchange between and
among all these disaster managers and vulnerable are venues express their
issues and concerns regarding the plan.

The significance of partnership and collaboration with the local

government for successful mobilization of the community and transcend the
differences and unity around the call for social solidarity for resilience and
sustainable development shall be achieved. Moreover, strengthening of
networks and provincial and regional links with relevant risk management
institutions/organizations to improve the organization’s potential and capacity
for application and dissemination of lessons learned and enhancement of
coordination with funding partners to promote sustainability are also
considered important.

3.2 MITIGATION MEASURES AND COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION

3.2.1 PUBLIC AWARENESS

With the end in view to abate the risk of disaster in the barangay and to
increase community’s awareness for their vulnerability, a mandatory Public
BARANGAY CALLAO ALICIA, ISABELA 28
 Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan
Awareness shall be delivered as one of the mitigating measures in our locality
to address the impacts of disaster. Another key importance is to gather support
of the plan from the community. The program for Public Awareness is guided
by the risk assessment done in the barangay.

Public awareness refers to public’s level of understanding about the

importance and implications of safety in the community.

To make it effective, it should be specific, concise and easily understood,

continuous and participated by the whole community according to the design
of this plan. In this way, it will help them impart them practical tips for
disaster preparedness and aimed to be part of their way of life and activities
and response together with the essence of the Early Warning system that shall
be developed by the barangay.

The committee on public information shall spearhead the conduct of

public awareness. Here, message must be specific and easily understood using
the local dialect. The priorities for target audience shall be first divided into
groups until such time that they could be assembled as a whole. First priority
are those that are identified during the conduct of risk assessment, the
children, pregnant women, senior citizens, persons with disability, farmers,
households whose houses are made with light materials and followed by other
groups. Scheduling shall be made in the barangay. The means to be used shall
be general assembly, house to house information, posters, tarpaulins, flyers
which will be developed first, megaphones, or any other means that can be
utilized in our barangay. Expected outcome shall be the support and
participation of the community in times of disaster.

BARANGAY CALLAO ALICIA, ISABELA 29

 Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan
3.2.2 EARLY WARNING SYSTEM

Early warning is a major element of disaster risk reduction. It prevents

loss of life in our barangay and reduce economic and material impacts of
disaster. Recognizing the essence of early warning, the barangay shall develop
and implement its early warning system. Figure shows that the information on
hazards come from the national agencies or forecasting offices through social
media, TV, mobile phones and other means, such as the PAGASA agency and
information from Magat Dam if release of water will be made, passed through
National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council. From here, the
NDRRMC shall also inform the RDRRMC to PDRRMC, and then to MDRRMC.
The MDRRMC through the use of text blast, megaphones, mobile calls, radios,
public advisories, shall inform all barangays, primarily the BDRRMC. The
Punong Barangay, as chair of the BDRRMC shall designate person such as the
BDRRMO who will inform its constituents, activate the BDRRMC, use of text
and or call through mobile phone, informing the public through the use of
megaphone, house to house warning or other means. It is also noted that the
community shall likewise report their status and conditions of their family
members and shelter to the BDRRMC which will likewise inform the MDRRMC.
In many cases, the information shall be bottom to top in order for the
government to prioritize the extent of help to the affected areas and families,
hence coordination between and among them is important. Figure 3.1 shows
the early warning system developed for the locality.

3.2.3 CAMP MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES

Another mitigating measure that needs to be done in the barangay is to

develop an evacuation system (Refer to Figure 3.2) and guidelines for camp
management. Corollary to the delivery of the early warning, the community
shall likewise be aware on when and where to evacuate. Likewise, the

BARANGAY CALLAO ALICIA, ISABELA 30

 Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan
Municipal Ordinance No. 35-2012 on implementing Forced Evacuation is also
used as basis in developing evacuation and camp management system.

Points have been raised on when to evacuate, where to evacuate, who

will call the shots to evacuate, evacuation route and pick-up points, designated
evacuation center, needs and supplies in the evacuation center / temporary
shelter, area for animals, and peace and security in the evacuation center.
Recognizing the vast roles and responsibilities in managing the evacuation
center, different committees shall be assigned to manage the evacuation center.
The barangay have considered these issues and formulated steps to evacuate
and manage the evacuation center.

There are five steps to evacuate, one is warning, then the order to move,
followed by the actual evacuation, managing the center, and then going back to
their own house. The BDRRMC through the designated communication and
warning committee shall warn the constituents regarding the impending risk or
hazard in the locality. The order to move and evacuate shall be directed by the

Punong Barangay through coordination with the MDRRMC, or in case of

worse condition based from the advisories/information gathered from higher
agencies. Actual evacuation of the vulnerable and those who are at risk shall
be assisted by the Barangay Peace Keeping Action Team. In the Evacuation
Center, Committees are created in order to manage properly the evacuees and
the area. The Committees include Food, Health and Sanitation, Information
and Media Relations, Education, and Security. In the Evacuation Center,
Registration or Listing of the Evacuees is needed. Before the evacuees are
directed to go back, it should be declared that the impending threats are no
longer present. Before leaving, the EC must be cleaned and cleared.
