The Republic Act 10121 27 May 2010 Repealed PD 1566 in 1978

The Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010

cannot be avoided• Most plans were on the

provision of relief goods & infra like dike & flood control systems (reactive)

• Government response was focused on disaster response

• Transforms & reforms the way we deal with disasters

that impact of disasters can be reduced by addressing the root cause of disaster risks

from disaster response to risk reduction
