DISASTER RISK REDUCTION MANAGEMENT
SYMPOSIUM
DRR
M NARRATIVE REPORT
Natural hazards are naturally-occurring physical phenomena caused by either
the rapid or slow onset of events having atmospheric, geologic and hydrologic origins
on solar, global, regional, national or local scales. Disasters often follow natural
hazards and they are a result of the combination of hazards, the conditions of
vulnerability and of the insufficient capacity or measures to reduce the potentially
negative consequences of the hazard. Disaster risk reduction is the concept and
practice of reducing disaster risks through systematic efforts to analyze and reduce
the causal factors of disasters. This is in line with the theme of this year’s Brigada
Eskwela; Tugon sa Hamon ng Ligtas na Balik-Aral, which will run until August 26,
highlights the country’s collective efforts from various partnership engagements,
creating a safe learning environment for the learners, teaching and non-teaching
personnel, and community to achieve safety while ensuring the delivery of quality
education.
This symposium was conducted right after the first symposium related to
health. Teachers and students attended the said symposium. Teachers and students
were very eager to learn and absorb the information given which will be very useful in
their daily living. This was spearheaded by the science department and the school
Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council.
