- Outlines the activities aimed at strengthening the capacity of thenational government and the LGUs together with partner stakeholders,to build the disaster resilience of communities and to institutionalize
arrangements and measures for reducing disaster risks, including
projected climate risks and enhancing disaster preparedness andresponse capabilities at all levels.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
gPlan (NDRRMP) (cont’d)- Highlights the importance of mainstreaming DRRM and CCA in thedevelopment processes such as policy formulation, socioeconoimc development
planning, budgeting and governance particularly in the area of environment,g, water,, energy,gy, health,, education,, poverty
py reduction,, land-use and urban
agriculture,planning and public infrastructure and housing, among others- Also highlights the need for institutionalizing DRRM policies, structures,
coordination mechanisms and programs with continuing budget
appropriation on DRR from national down to local levels. Through permanentmechanisms, competency and science-based capacity building activities can be done,
alongside the nurturing of continuous learning through knowledge development andmanagement of good DRRM practices on the ground.
