Development and humanitarian practitioners share a common goal

As scientific knowledge of global climate change increases and its impacts are experienced around the world

are potentially harmful natural phenomena or human activities that, when they occur

are changes in the climate as a result of excessive emission of greenhouse gas.

is the set of characteristics and circumstances of an individual, household, population group

refers to the capacity of an individual, household, population group or system to anticipate, absorb, and recover from hazards and/or effects of climate change

Activities that provide outright avoidance of the adverse impact of hazards and the means to minimize related environmental, technological and biological disasters.

Structural and non-structural measures undertaken to limit the adverse impact of natural hazards, environmental degradation and technological hazards.

Activities and measures taken in advance to ensure effective response to the impact of hazards, including the issuance of timely and effective early warnings and the temporary evacuation of people and property from threatened locations.

The time or period when a hazard has been identified but is not yet threatening a particular area (e.g., notification that a cyclone exists but is far away).

The time or period when a hazard has been identified and is assessed as threatening a particular area (e.g., a cyclone is tracking toward that area).

Action taken after receipt of warning to offset effects of disaster impact.

The provision of assistance or intervention during or immediately after a disaster to meet the life preservation and basic subsistence needs of those people affected.

Decisions and actions taken following a disaster with a view to restoring or improving the pre-disaster living conditions of the stricken community

The concept and practice of reducing disaster risks through systematic efforts to analyze and manage the causal factors of disasters

provides landmark guidance on reducing disaster risk and the impacts of disasters both at national and international level.

what is the meaning of APEC

What is the meaning of NDDRMP

is the nature and degree to which a system is exposed to significant climatic variations

is the degree to which a system is affected, either adversely or beneficially, by climate related stimuli.

The vulnerability of an asset is related to its potential for, or its susceptibility to, damage.

is the ability of a system to adjust to climate change to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities or cope with the consequences

meaning of DOST

What is the meaning of LGU

relates to buildings, infrastructure, and agriculture.

While the physical elements listed above have received primary attention in past vulnerability studies, social vulnerability has been somewhat neglected.

measures the risk of hazards causing losses to economic assets and processes.

Early studies concentrated on impacts caused by changes in global mean temperature.

Resources Planning Responsiveness Accountability Rule of law

Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters

What year Yokohama Strategy adopted

Well-known measures include altering crop strains to enhance their drought and pest resistance

Adaptation measures include actions on both water supply and water risks

Measures include early warning systems and air-conditioning to address extreme weather events

Measures include curriculum development for schools

Healthy ecosystems provide significant benefits for resilience, livelihoods, risk reduction and adaptive capacity.

Measures include improving existing systems to cover the changed hazard circumstances

segment provides the link between disaster-related activities and national development.

aims to enable the region to better prepare for and respond to emergencies and disasters by complementing the multilateral

sets down the expected outcomes, outputs, key activities, indicators, lead agencies

Parties have recognized that existing knowledge and capacities for coping with extreme weather events must be harnessed to adapt to climate changes

DRRM and CCA mainstreamed and integrated in national, sectoral, regional and local development policies, plans and budget

DRRM and CCA-sensitive environmental management

Increased resiliency of infrastructure systems

Communities access to effective and applicable disaster risk financing and insurance

6. End-to-end monitoring (monitoring and response), forecasting and early warning systems are established and/or improved

Increased level of awareness and enhanced capacity of the community to the threats and impacts of all hazards.

Communities are equipped with necessary skills and capability to cope with the impacts (to coordinate) and OCD (to implement) of disasters

Increased DRRM and CCA capacity of local DRRM Councils, Offices and Operation.

Developed and implemented comprehensive national and local preparedness and response policies, plans, and systems

Strengthened partnership and coordination among all key players and stakeholders

Well-established disaster response operation

. Adequate and prompt assessment of needs and damages at all levels

Safe and timely evacuation of affected communities

Basic social services provided to affected population (whether inside or outside evacuation centers)

Disaster and climate change-resilient infrastructure constructed/reconstructed

Houses rebuilt or repaired to be more resilient to hazard events; safer sites for housing

sets down the expected outcomes, outputs, key activities, indicators, lead agencies

Results-based programming shall be used in ensuring that implementation is on time and learning from experiences is built into the DRRM system.

At the national and local levels, the following sources can be tapped to fund the various DRRM programs and projects

Early studies concentrated on impacts caused by changes in global mean temperature.

In many environmental fields, there are thought to be thresholds below which only minor effects occur.
