CP Formulation and Planning

1. CONTINGENCY PLANNING

2. INTRODUCTION TO CONTINGENCY PLANNING

3. Philippine Disaster Risk Profile

4. Why Pacific Plate a RING OF FIRE? Because 90 percent of all earthquakes and two-thirds of the world’s active volcanoes are found in this area . 1.Chile 2.Mexico 3.United States 4.Canada 5.Russia 6.Japan 7.Philippines 8.Indonesia 9.New Zealand 3 rd country most exposed to natural hazards (World Risk Report 2016) COMMON HAZARDS tropical cyclones floods landslides volcanic eruptions earthquakes tsunamis PACIFIC RING OF FIRE

5. Earthquake Generators in the Philippines An ACTIVE FAULT is defined as a fault, which has moved within the last 10,000 years. ~ an average of 20 earthquakes recorded per day ~100-150 felt earthquakes per year ~90 destructive earthquakes for past 400 years

6. Pacific Typhoon Belt average of 20 typhoons a year

7. Paradigm Shift in the Philippine DRRM System

8. What is DRRM? Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM): the systematic process of using administrative directives, organizations, and operational skills and capacities to implement strategies, policies and improved coping capacities in order to lessen the adverse impacts of hazards and the possibility of disaster. Republic Act 10121: “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 therefor and for other purposes”.

9. Shift from Reactive to Proactive Reactive Before RA 10121 was enacted, we used to have a reactive stance characterized by a top-down and centralized approach to disaster management. Proactive Now, with RA 10121, we have shifted from reactive approach to the proactive stance in DRRM.

10. Contingency Planning (CP) one of the known DRRM mechanisms that we can use to lessen the adverse impacts of hazards and the possibility of disaster It is used to establish preparedness measures and arrange response priorities ahead of time prior to a certain disaster

11. Contingency Planning (CP) “involves plans and institutional arrangement to engage and guide the efforts of government, non-government, voluntary and private agencies in comprehensive and coordinated ways to respond to the entire spectrum of crisis needs”

12. Contingency Planning (CP) PROCESS an effort has been made to integrate the contingency planning process for managing natural and human-induced hazards.

13. DEVELOPMENT OF CONTINGENCY PLANNING IN THE PHILIPPINES

14. CONTINGENCY PLANNING was introduced in the Philippines in early 2002 with the support of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) UNHCR sent a mission to assess possible technical assistance to the Government of the Philippines for the management of IDPs.

15. CONTINGENCY PLANNING The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) recommended the organization of an Emergency Management Training Program for the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) One of the significant activities under this program was the publication of “Contingency Planning for Emergencies: A Manual for Local Government Units,” which was the product of the CP workshop held in Mindanao.

16. United Nations Economic and Social Commission for the Asia and the Pacific (UN ESCAP) sent a technical expert in the Philippines to help the government revisit the CP process . resulted to the development of the CP Guidebook to be used by all DRRM and CM practitioners.

17. CONTINGENCY PLANNING GUIDEBOOK

18. CONTINGENCY PLANNING GUIDEBOOK serves as a handy reference for planners in preparing the contingency plan as a basis for actions before and during an emergency. The contents of the CP Guidebook are consistent with the existing policies and guidelines of the NDRRMC, NSC, and other relevant institutions. It has been formally adopted through the NDRRMC-NSC Joint Memorandum Circular No. 1 s 2016.

19. ASSESSMENT OF CP EFFECTIVENESS the OCD partnered with the Polytechnic University of the Philippines in 2018 to conduct the study entitled “Effectiveness of Contingency Planning during Typhoon Lawin ( Haima ) in selected LGUs in Region I and CAR.”
