Disaster Risk Assessment (DRA)
Purpose:
To generate disaster risk information relevant to land
use planning;
To serve as basis for understanding implications ofcurrent and future land use management anddevelopment;
To guide planners and policy makers in determiningappropriate measures / interventions therebyreducing risks to people and properties.

DRA 4-Step process:
1. Hazard Characterization
Assessment of past disaster events and currentobservations affecting the planning area to
determine the pattern of occurrence over time.
STEPS:
A. Prepare an inventory of hazards affecting the city/
municipality.
1. Collect geohazard maps, climate related maps from OCD andCSCAND agencies (e.g. READY maps)
7/27/2019 DRA Report
4/27
2. Prepare a hazard map for the city/municipality (preferably in GIS format) byoverlaying the obtained hazard maps to the base map.
3. Identify and describe all natural hazards that the LGU is prone to such as:
Hydro Meteorological hazards
Flood
Landslide Soil Erosion
Climate related hazards
Floods
Rain-induced landslide
Storm surge
Geologic related hazards Earthquakes and natural hazards (ground shaking, tsunami,
liquefaction, earthquake-induced landslides
Volcanic Eruption
- Prepare a checklist of hazards affecting the LGU in tabular form:

3. Identify and describe past or historical occurrences of
hazards/disasters in your area. Present also in tabular form as
follows:Table 2 Historical Data

B. Obtain climate projection data from PAG-ASA. This climate data
can be linked to the hazards occurring or will occur in the locality.
Example of ten year climate projection:

C. Discuss the impacts of climate change
projection/ scenario to the localitys existing
hazard situation / disaster risk areas.
An impact chain analysis determines the connection
between a climate stimuli to the different hazards and to the
affected sectors.
Refer to the following example of an Impact Chain Analysis

C. Study and discuss the likelihood of a hazard to occur over time
using the likelihood matrix below:
Measure of Likelihood Score Return Period in Years
Frequent or Very likely 6 Every 1 3 years
Moderate or Likely 5 Every 3 10 years
Occasional, Light chance 4 Every 10 30 years
Unlikely, improbable 3 Every 30 100 years
Highly unlikely, Rare event 2 Every 100 200 years
Very rare event 1 Every 200 300 years

2. Consequence Analysis
The second step determines WHO and WHAT can beaffected by a hazard event.
An inventory of the elements at risk such as people,property, and environment, is an essential part ofassessing vulnerability to loss and damage due tohazards.
Severity of Consequence is a measure of the degree ofimpact of a hazard event , such as injury, death,damage, and interruption brought to the sector ofconcern.

Consequences Specific Criteria
Human consequences Injury, death (ex. at work place or athome)
Property consequences damage to buildings, equipment, and
other facilities in an affected site damage to infrastructures (ex. roads &
bridges)
damage to critical facilities (ex. firestations, police stations, hospitals)
damage to properties ( ex. houses, landareas)
damage to environment & natural assets(ex. forest areas, agriculture)
Operational consequences Interruption of lifelines (ex. water,communication
Interruption of the economy and societal
functions

Barangay 2 Risk score Human is 15; Property is 10; Operational is 10

3. Risk Estimation This step determines HOW the planning units properties or
assets are affected by a hazard event and HOW many liveswill be lost in such event.
At this stage, the risk to fatality (in terms of lives lost) and riskto property damage (in terms of replacement value) forindividual hazards and hazard events are computed andsummed up.
For lack of historical record and other factors for fatality anddamage, the risk estimation process may be simplified as per
the expression given below:
Risk = Likelihood of Hazard X Severity of Consequence

What does this mean?
Explanation:
The red color with the corresponding score suggests the most severe impact and should be
addressed immediately.
Purple color suggests moderate consequences but are severe but unlikely or rare to happen
Yellow color considered as low risk. However, may need emergency management, special land
use management options and improving hazards information and communication
7/27/2019 DRA Report

Prepare hazard and vulnerability maps for
decision making. Overlay the existing land use map and hazard map over the
corresponding settlement areas or residential areas to determine
their extent of exposure.
Fault Zone Flooding Zone
7/27/2019 DRA Report
23/27
The sample map is an overlay of the flooding areas and fault zoneover the urban areas. This illustrates that during severe flooding,
residential areas as well as commercial areas adjacent to the riverare exposed to two types of hazards.
A more detailed analysis can be made if data of each household andhouse structure data in the exposed areas can be gathered todetermine the cost of damages showing greatest potential loss inthe event of a disaster. ( Perhaps the CBMS data if available can beemployed for this activity.)
Although this is a time consuming activity for the LGU requiringmanpower and budget requirements, a good database is very
important for disaster risk reduction and management.

4. Risk Evaluation
Guided by the results of the risk analysis, decision makers will nowhave to evaluate the level of acceptability of risks.
Risk issues are short listed according to urgency or priority foraction. Consequently, the applicable risk reduction /adaptationmeasures for the hazard of concern are determined.
Risk assessment and evaluation shall be applied to all of thedifferent sectors to provide a picture of how the land usecomponents will be affected and how best to arrange them tosupport other risk reduction strategies and ensure sustainable
development. The discussions should express disaster riskmanagement as a development concern.

Selection of actions compatible to development
