Message from the Mayor

The United Nations, in its 2019 Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk, outlines that
risk is systematic and crises are cascading. Now, more than ever, disasters have
become more complex, leading to scenarios involving costly damages in
infrastructure and the loss of lives. With the Philippines under threat from different
disaster scenarios, leadership must be proactive in ensuring the safety of its populace,
especially the more vulnerable sectors.

Covid-19 has exposed several gaps when it comes to Disaster Risk Management. At
first, we scrambled to get our acts together, and sectors like the elderly, people living
with disabilities, the poor and daily wage earners bore the brunt of the pandemic.
Indeed, disasters have taken a larger scope, with prompt and unhampered
mobilization of first responders and civil defense authorities, coupled with decisive
leadership at the local level, indispensable to ensure public health and safety.

Planning for the next seven (7) years must therefore be risk-informed to sustain
change. It is time for Quezon City to move away from short-sighted, segmented
planning and move towards development of policy and programs through
transdisciplinary and collaborative approaches. In building resilience, we must
protect, create, and regenerate relevant resources while avoiding both expected
and unexpected negative consequences.

The crafting of the Quezon City’s Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan
allows for innovative and collective action, calls for engagement of all stakeholders,
and integration of policy on climate change, development and risk financing. We
laud the efforts that went into the crafting of this plan and look forward to its efficient
and effective implementation.

In the years to come, the City Government will continue to serve with heart while
putting in place effective and holistic planning as preparation for the impacts of
disasters, to ensure the well-being and continued progress of our communities.

Congratulations again to the stakeholders who have worked tirelessly to make this
LDRRMP a reality. Mabuhay kayo!

HON. JOSEFINA G BELMONTE

City Mayor

Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan 2021-2027

Definition of Terms
a. “Adaptation” - The adjustment in the natural or human system in response to actual or
expected climatic stimuli or their effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial
opportunities.

b. “Capacity” – a combination of all strengths and resources available within a

community, society or organization that can reduce the level of risk, or effects of a
disaster. Capacity may include infrastructure and physical means, institutions, societal
coping abilities, as well as human knowledge, skills, and collective attributes such as
social relationships, leadership, and management. Capacity may also be described
as capability.

c. “Civil Society Organizations or “CSO” – non-state actors whose aims are neither to
generate profits nor seek governing power. CSOs unite people to advance shared
goals and interest. They have a presence in public life, expressing the interest and
values of their members and others, and are based on ethnical, cultural, scientific,
religious, or philanthropic considerations. CSOs include nongovernment organizations
(NGOs), professional associations, foundations, independent research institutes,
community-based organizations (CBOs), faith-based organizations, people’s
organizations, social movements, and labor unions.

d. “Climate Change” – a change in climate that can be identified by changes in the

mean and/or variability of its properties and that persist for an extended period
typically decades or longer, whether due to natural variability or as a result of human
activity.

e. “Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction and Management” or CBDRRM” - a process

of disaster risk reduction and management in which a risk communities are actively
engaged in the identification, analysis, treatment, monitoring and evaluation of
disaster risks in order to reduce their vulnerabilities and enhance their capabilities, and
where the people are at heart of decision-making and implementation of disaster risk
reduction and management activities.

f. “Complex Emergency” – a form of human induced emergency which the cause of the
emergency as well as the cause of the emergency as well as the assistance to the
afflicted is complicated by intense level of political considerations.

g. “Contingency Planning” – a management process that analyzes specific potential

events or emerging situations that might threaten society or the environment and
establishes arrangements in advance to enable timely, effective, and appropriate
responses to such events and situations.

h. “Disaster” – a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society involving

widespread human, material economic or environmental losses and impacts, which
exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own
resources. Disaster are often described as a result of the combination of: the exposure
of the hazard, the conditions of vulnerability that are present; and insufficient capacity
or measures to reduce or cope with the potential negative consequences, Disaster
impacts may include loss of life, injury, disease and other negative effects on human,
physical, mental and social well-being, together with damage to property, destruction
of assets, loss of services, social and economic disruption and environmental
degradation.

i. “Disaster Mitigation” – the lessening or limitation of the adverse impacts of hazards and
related disasters. Mitigation measures encompass engineering techniques and hazard-
resistant construction as well as improved environmental policies and public
awareness.

11
Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan 2021-2027

j. “Disaster Preparedness” – the knowledge by governments, professional response and

recovery organizations, communities, and individuals to effectively anticipate ,
respond to and recover from, the Impacts of likely, imminent, or current hazard events
or conditions. Preparedness action is carried out within the context of disaster risk
reduction and management and aims to build the capacities needed to efficiently
manage all types of emergencies and achieve orderly transitions from response to
sustained recovery. Preparedness is a based on a sound analysis of disaster risk and
good linkages with early warning systems, and includes such as activities as
contingency planning, stockpiling of equipment and supplies, the development of
arrangements for coordination, evacuation and public information, and associated
training and field exercises. These must be supported by formal institutional, legal, and
budgetary capacities.

k. “Disaster Prevention” – the outright avoidance of adverse impacts of hazards and

related disaster. It expresses the concept and intention to completely avoid potential
adverse impacts through action taken in advance such as construction of dams or
embankments that eliminate flood risk, land-use regulation that do not permit any
settlement in high-risk zones and seismic engineering designs that ensure the survival
and function of a critical building in any likely earthquake.

l. “Disaster Response” – the provision of emergency services and public assistance during
or immediately after a disaster in order to save lives, reduce health impacts, ensure
public safety and meet the basic subsistence needs of the people affected. Disaster
response is predominantly focused on immediate and sort-term needs and is
sometimes called “disaster relief”.

m. “Disaster Risk” – the potential disaster losses in lives, health status, livelihood, assets, and
services, which could occur to a particular community or a society over some specified
future time period.

n. “Disaster Risk Reduction” – the concept and practice of reducing disaster risk through
systematic efforts to analyze and manage the causal factors of disaster, including
through reduced exposures to hazards, lessened vulnerability of people and property,
wise management of land and the environment, and improved preparedness for
adverse events.

o. “Disaster Risk Reduction and Management” – the systematic process of using

administrative directives, organizations, and operational skills and capacities to
implement strategies, policies, and improved coping capabilities in order to lessen the
adverse impacts of hazards and the possibility of disaster. Prospective disaster risk
reduction and management refers to risk reduction and management activities that
address and seek to avoid the development of new or increased disaster risks,
especially if risk reduction policies are not put in place.

p. “Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Information System” – a specialized

database which contains, among others, information on disaster and their human
material, economic and environmental impact, risk assessment and mapping and
vulnerable groups.

q. “Response” - Actions taken directly before, during or immediately after a disaster in

order to save lives, reduce health impacts, ensure public safety and meet the basic
subsistence needs of the people affected.

Disaster response is predominantly focused on immediate and short-term needs and is

sometimes called disaster relief. Effective, efficient and timely response relies on
disaster risk-informed preparedness measures, including the development of the
response capacities of individuals, communities, organizations, countries and the
international community.

12
Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan 2021-2027

q. “Recovery” The restoring or improving of livelihoods and health, as well as economic,

physical, social, cultural and environmental assets, systems and activities, of a disaster-
affected community or society, aligning with the principles of sustainable development
and “build back better”, to avoid or reduce future disaster risk.

r. “Resilience” The ability of a system, community or society exposed to hazards to resist,

absorb, accommodate, adapt to, transform and recover from the effects of a hazard
in a timely and efficient manner, including through the preservation and restoration of
its essential basic structures and functions through risk management.

s. “Structural and Non-Structural Measures” - Structural measures are any physical

construction to reduce or avoid possible impacts of hazards, or the application of
engineering techniques or technology to achieve hazard resistance and resilience in
structures or systems. Non-structural measures are measures not involving physical
construction which use knowledge, practice or agreement to reduce disaster risks and
impacts, in particular through policies and laws, public awareness raising, training and
education.

Common structural measures for disaster risk reduction include dams, flood levies,
ocean wave barriers, earthquake-resistant construction, and evacuation shelters.
Common non-structural measures include building codes, land-use planning laws and
their enforcement, research and assessment, information resources and public
awareness programmes. Note that in civil and structural engineering, the term
“structural” is used in a more restricted sense to mean just the load-bearing structure,
and other parts such as wall cladding and interior fittings are termed “non-structural”.

t. “Underlying disaster risk drivers” - Processes or conditions, often development-related,

that influence the level of disaster risk by increasing levels of exposure and vulnerability
or reducing capacity.

Annotation: Underlying disaster risk drivers — also referred to as underlying disaster risk
factors — include poverty and inequality, climate change and variability, unplanned
and rapid urbanization and the lack of disaster risk considerations in land management
and environmental and natural resource management, as well as compounding
factors such as demographic change, non-disaster risk-informed policies, the lack of
regulations and incentives for private disaster risk reduction investment, complex supply
chains, the limited availability of technology, unsustainable uses of natural resources,
declining ecosystems, pandemics and epidemics.

u. “Vulnerability” - The conditions determined by physical, social, economic and

environmental factors or processes which increase the susceptibility of an individual, a
community, assets or systems to the impacts of hazards.

International Bases
Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction

The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 outlines seven clear targets
and four priorities for action to prevent new and reduce existing disaster risks: (i)
Understanding disaster risk; (ii) Strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster
risk; (iii) Investing in disaster reduction for resilience and; (iv) Enhancing disaster
preparedness for effective response, and to "Build Back Better" in recovery, rehabilitation
and reconstruction.

It aims to achieve the substantial reduction of disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods
and health and in the economic, physical, social, cultural and environmental assets of
persons, businesses, communities and countries over the next 15 years.

The Framework was adopted at the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction
in Sendai, Japan, on March 18, 2015.

2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

In 2015, following the end of the eight (8) Millenium Development Goals (2000-2015), a
new global development agenda was adopted.

After several months of consultation with government, private industries and civil society
organizations, the United Nations General Assembly officially adopted “The 2030 Agenda
for Sustainable Development” during the Sustainable Development Summit in September
2015.

This Agenda includes a new universal set of 17 goals, 169 targets and indicators that UN
member states are expected to use to frame their agendas and political policies over the
next 15 years.

This Agenda is a plan for action for people, planet, and prosperity. It also seeks to
strengthen universal peace in larger freedom. All countries and all stakeholders, acting in
collaborative partnership will implement this plan.

The key principles underlying this Agenda are the following:

• National ownership
• Universality
• Leaving no one behind
• Human rights-bases approach
• Inclusive and participatory
• Integrated approach

Paris Agreement on Climate Change

The Paris Agreement builds upon the Convention and for the first time brings all nations
into a common cause to undertake ambitious efforts to combat climate change and
adapt to its effects, with enhanced support to assist developing countries to do so. As
such, it charts a new course in the global climate effort.

The Paris Agreement central aim is to strengthen the global response to the threat of
climate change by keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees
Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase
even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Additionally, the agreement aims to strengthen the
ability of countries to deal with the impacts of climate change. To reach these ambitious
goals, appropriate financial flows, a new technology framework and an enhanced
capacity building framework will be put in place, thus supporting action by developing
countries and the most vulnerable countries, in line with their own national objectives. The
Agreement also provides for enhanced transparency of action and support through a
more robust transparency framework.

New Urban Agenda

World leaders have adopted the New Urban Agenda, which sets a new global standard
for sustainable urban development, and will help cities rethink how we plan, manage and
live in cities. The New Urban Agenda is a roadmap for building cities that can serve as
engines of prosperity and centres of cultural and social well-being while protecting the
environment. The Agenda also provides guidance for achieving the Sustainable
Development Goals and provides the underpinning for actions to address climate
change.

Now it is up to national governments and local authorities to implement the Agenda, with
technical and financial partnerships and assistance from the international community.

In the New Urban Agenda, leaders have committed to:

• Provide basic services for all citizens

• Ensure that all citizens have access to equal opportunities and face no
discrimination
• Promote measures that support cleaner cities
• Strengthen resilience in cities to reduce the risk and the impact of disasters
• Take action to address climate change by reducing their greenhouse gas
emissions
• Fully respect the rights of refugees, migrants and internally displaced persons
regardless of their migration status
• Improve connectivity and support innovative and green initiatives
• Promote safe, accessible and green public spaces

National
Climate Change Act of 2009

Republic Act 9729, otherwise known as the Climate Change Act of 2009, is an act
mainstreaming climate change into government policy formulations, establishing the
framework strategy and program on climate change, creating for this purpose the
Climate Change Commission, and for other purposes.

It was enacted to mainstream and systematically integrate the concept of climate

change in various phases of policy formulation, development plans, poverty reduction
strategies and other development tools and techniques by all agencies and
instrumentalities of the government. It mandated the formulation of a National Strategic
Framework on Climate Change and its operational plan, the National Climate Change
Action Plan. It also aimed to integrate disaster risk reduction into climate change
programs and initiatives.

RA 9729 was then amended through Republic Act 10174 to establish the People’s Survival
Fund to provide long-term finance streams to enable the government to effectively
address the problem of climate change.

Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010

The Philippine government enacted Republic Act 10121, the Philippine Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Act of 2010, antecedent to Presidential Decree Number
1566 of 1978 (PD 1566), An Act Strengthening the Philippine Disaster Control Capability
and Establishing the National Program on Community Disaster Preparedness, to provide
legal basis for government policies, plans, and programs to deal with disasters.

Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan 2021-2027

Introduction
The Local Government Code of 1991 mandates all local government units (LGUs) to be
the frontline of emergency measures during and after disasters. Further, the enactment
of Republic Act 10121 strengthened the capacities of LGUs through the promotion of
bottoms-up and participatory approach in disaster risk reduction and management
(DRRM).

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan (NDRRMP) realizes the new
preventive approach to disasters through the identification of hazards, vulnerabilities and
risks to be managed at the national level, disaster risk reduction and management
approaches and strategies to be applied in managing said hazards and risks, agency
roles, responsibilities and line of authority at all government levels, and vertical and
horizontal coordination of disaster risk reduction and management in the pre-disaster and
post-disaster phases. More importantly, the preventive approach is further realized by the
NDRRMP by serving as a reference for the development of the Local Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Plans (LDRRMPs) and the implementation of disaster risk
reduction and management at local levels.

Serving as the first responders and primary implementers of DRRM, the LGUs should be well
equipped with capacities and resources in carrying out DRRM activities to ensure the
safety of the lives of their constituents. As such, RA 10121 mandates the LGUs constitute
their Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils (LDRRMCs) and establish
their own Local DRRM Offices. Moreover, the law provides for the development of
LDRRMPs.

The LDRRMP is the strategic road map to attain resilience against disasters and attuned
with the National DRRM Framework (NDRRMF) and the priorities of the NDRRMP. It provides
detailed information on LGU’s assessment of hazards, exposure, vulnerabilities, capacities,
and the goals, objectives, outcomes, action plans, and mechanisms for monitoring and
evaluation for the four (4) thematic DRRM thematic areas: disaster prevention and
mitigation, disaster preparedness, disaster response, and disaster rehabilitation and
recovery.

The Quezon City’s LDRRMP (QC DRRMP) intends to support the local government in
fulfilling its obligations to the RA 10121 and aligning with the Sendai Framework for Disaster
Risk Reduction (SFDRR 2015-2030) which charts the global course on disaster risk reduction
for countries to reduce risk and disaster losses over the next 15 years.

The development of the QC DRRMP finds its principles, foundations, and structure from the
following national and international acts, standards, and guides:

• Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction

• Sustainable Development Goals
• Paris Agreement on Climate Change
• Republic Act 10121 or Disaster Risk Reduction Management Act of 2010
• Emergency Management Standard by Emergency Management Accreditation
Program or EMAP
• ISO 31000 – Risk Management
• ISO 9001:2015
• National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan and Framework
• Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan 2014-2020

22
Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan 2021-2027

Another purpose of the QC DRRMP is to provide the necessary and required elements to
understand, communicate, and manage the various hazards and risks faced by the city
through optimization of its existing capacities in reducing risks and protecting its assets and
communities.

Moreover, the QC DRRMP will inform policy and decision makers to optimize investments
in DRRM and to guarantee commitments to integrated Disaster Risk Reduction priority
programs. It shall serve as the basis of institutionalization and implementation of various
DRRM protocols, policies, procedures, and functions within Quezon City.

The specific objectives of the QCDRRMP 2021-2027 include:

1. Identification of programs, projects, and activities (PPAs) to be implemented within

the next seven (7) years based on mainstreaming the strategies identified in the
QCDRRMP 2021-2027 and the NDRRMP Outcomes;
2. Identification and clarification of department roles, responsibilities and line of
authority at all government offices for the implementation of PPAs;
3. Support the utilization of the LDRRMF Investment Plans for 2021-2027
4. Establish the evaluation and monitoring mechanisms to benchmark and measure
progress.

23
Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan 2021-2027

1 Rationale for the Formulation of the

LDRRMP
The QC DRRMP is anchored both on the vision and legal provisions of RA 10121 and the
National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (NDRRM) Framework.

The NDRRM Framework envisions a country of “safer, adaptive and disaster resilient Filipino
communities toward sustainable development.” It conveys a paradigm shift from reactive
to proactive DRRM wherein men and women have increased their awareness and
understanding of DRRM, with the end in view of increasing people’s resilience and
decreasing their vulnerabilities.

RA 10121, SEC. 11, Organization at the Local Government Level, states that the LDRRMCs
shall have the following functions:

(1) Approve, monitor and evaluate the implementation of the LDRRMPs and regularly
review and test the plan consistent with other national and local planning
programs;

(2) Ensure the integration of disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation into
local development plans, programs and budgets as a strategy in sustainable
development and poverty reduction;

RA 10121, Sec 12, Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (LDRRMO), states
that the provincial, city, and municipal DRRMOs or BDRRMCs shall perform the following
functions with impartiality given the emerging challenges bought by disasters of our times:

(6) Formulate and implement a comprehensive and integrated LDRRMP in accordance

with the national, regional and provincial framework, and policies on disaster risk
reduction in close coordination with the local development councils (LDCs);

(7) Prepare and submit to the local sanggunian through the LDRRMC and the LDC the
annual LDRRMO Plan and budget, the proposed programming of the LDRRMF,
other dedicated disaster risk reduction and management resources, and other
regular funding source.
RA 10121, Section 21, Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund (LDRRMF).
“The present Local Calamity Fund shall henceforth be known as the Local Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Fund (LDRRMF). Not less than five percent (5%) of the
estimated revenue from regular sources shall be set aside as the LDRRMF to support
disaster risk management activities such as, but not limited to, pre-disaster preparedness
programs including training, purchasing life-saving rescue equipment, supplies and
medicines, for post-disaster activities, and for the payment of premiums on calamity
insurance. The LDRRMC shall monitor and evaluate the use and disbursement of the
LDRRMF based on the LDRRMP as incorporated in the local development plans and
annual work and financial plan. Upon the recommendation of the LDRRMO and approval
of the Sanggunian concerned, the LDRRMC may transfer the said fund to support disaster
risk reduction work of other LDRRMCs which are declared under state of calamity.”

2 Methodology for Developing Quezon

City’s DRRM Plan 2021-2027

2.1 The Local DRRM Planning Cycle

The Local DRRM Planning Cycle is a five-stage process which includes:

1. Organizing and preparing for the LDRRM Planning Process;

2. Climate-Disaster Risk Assessment;
3. LDRRM Plan Formulation and Updating;
4. LDRRM Plan Implementation; and
5. Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting.

Quezon City carried out all these steps to formulate the LDRRMP 2021-2027.

Figure 1. The LDRRM Planning Cycle

2.1.1 Organizing & Preparing for the LDRRM Planning Process

DRRM decision-makers and managers are expected to create an enabling environment

to establish partnerships and engagement with the whole-of-society stakeholders such as
the NGOs, business sector, academe, private sector as well the vulnerable sectors of the
community. Once the partnership with the stakeholders are established, the participatory
process, including the mobilization of resources, is formalized and LGUs prepare to
commence the LDRRM planning process.
This stage revolves on raising awareness, planning the process and convening the actors.

25
Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan 2021-2027

Section 11 (a) of the Republic Act 10121 specifies the key actors in local DRRM who
comprises the LDRRM Councils across the political subdivisions of the LGUs.
Firstly, the LDRRMC is to be organized in every province, city, and municipality. The
LDRRMO then is to be established in every city who then leads the formulation of the
LDRRMP for the city/municipality.
The QC LDRRMC was first established in 2010 and was reconstituted through the Executive
Order No 7, S-2019. The LDRRMO was established in 2015 and has then led the formulation
of the LDRRMP 2021-2027.

Figure 2. Organization of the Quezon City DRRM Council

The Local DRRM Office is headed by the Local DRRM Officer (LDRRMO). Under the
LDRRMO are staff involved in administrative and training, research and planning, and
operations and warning.

Figure 3. Composition of the Quezon City DRRM Office

Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan 2021-2027

2.1.2 Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment

Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment or CDRA is an innovative process required by the
Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) in the formulation of Comprehensive
Land Use Plans (CLUP) as well as the DILG in the formulation of Local DRRM Plans. CDRA
conducts comprehensive and detailed risk assessment of all communities and households
per LGU against. Notably, CDRA not just looks at the typical natural hazards but also
considers the assessment of the effects of climate change.

CDRA practically captures all the CRA tools and processes that we just discussed in this
session. In the absence of CDRA or other risk assessment activities in the LGU, the CRA will
be useful as foundation for more in-depth risk assessment. If there is already an existing
CDRA in the LGU, the BDRRMC can coordinate with the local officials, obtain CDRA results,
and check the extent of disaster risk within their community.

Figure 4. CDRA Steps

Step 1- Involves gathering of climate change information and characterizing

hazards that may affect the locality

Step 2- Identifying key areas/sectors that may be affected by climate change and
natural hazards and determining likely impacts (direct and indirect)

Step 3- Gathering baseline map and attribute data on exposure, vulnerability and
adaptive capacity as basis for CCVA and DRA

Step 4- Identification of vulnerable areas and sectors by analyzing exposure,

sensitivity and adaptive capacity to various climate stimuli

Step 5- Identification of risk areas by analyzing hazard, exposure and vulnerability

Step 6- Identification of priority decision areas/sectors based on the combined

level of risks and vulnerabilities, identification of risk management options, climate
change adaptation and mitigation options

27
Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan 2021-2027

The Quezon City Hazards, Vulnerability, and Risk Assessment was completed in 2013 and
provides the scientific foundation and sets the parameters for the development of
strategies and actions in the LDRRMP. It focuses on analyzing the impacts of earthquakes
and floods in Quezon City, and determined the risk hotspots or barangays with high risk in
terms of casualties and economic losses, allowing for rational and adequate planning of
resources.

The assessment of impacts for floods and earthquake are expressed in terms of:
1. Identifying the spatial severity of the hazards in the city
2. Quantifying damages, losses, and impacts to population, buildings, infrastructure,
critical and high loss facilities; and
3. Identifying hotspot barangays

The approach for identifying risk hotspots is based on the Urban Disaster Risk Index
methodology, which combines directly the descriptors comprising both the physical risk
and the socio-economic impact factors. In the application of this methodology, the
objective is to bring in the local context of socio-economic vulnerability and coping
capacities of these cities based on the available information and data.

2.1.3 LDRRMP Formulation and Updating

Based on the results of the risk assessment, Quezon City updated its LDRRMP. The LDRRMP
is the strategic road map to attain resilience against disasters and attuned with the
National DRRM Framework (NDRRMF) and the priorities of the National DRRM Plan
(NDRRMP). The LDRRMP is an output of the participatory planning process employed by
the LDRRMO, the QCDRRMC, and other key DRRM stakeholders.

Figure 5. LDRRMP Formulation and Updating Process Cycle Flowchart

In the formulation and updating of the LDRRM Plan, the process cycle includes (1)
Situational Analysis using the SWOC tool, (2) Vision and Mission Statements, (3) Strategy
Formulation and Setting of Goals; Objective and Outcome, (4) Identification of Key
Outputs, Activities, Timeframe, Lead Office and Budgeting; and (5) Establishment of
Monitoring and Evaluation along the four thematic areas of DRRM.

28
Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan 2021-2027

2.1.4 LDRRMP Implementation

The implementation of the LDRRMP is based on timeframes, roles, budget allocation,

institutional arrangements, etc. It is essential for QC to include timeframes, role of the
implementers and stakeholders, budget allocation, institutional arrangements, and
innovative strategies for risk financing.

2.1.5 Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting

Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting is used to evaluate the success of the building local
resilience through performance indicators. Monitoring and evaluation can also be used
to evaluate the success of the city resilience building efforts through performance
indicators established within the DRR action plan and to measure their impacts.

Meanwhile, reporting is also important for QC to communicate to its stakeholders the

progress of the implementation of the LDRRM Plan and thus, encourage support and
participation of the most vulnerable sectors of the society.

2.2 Methodology for the QC LDRRMP 2021-2027

In 2013, Quezon City completed the LDRRMP 2014-2020 which is the concluding output of
the twelve-month “Building a Disaster Resilient Quezon City Project,” which was a
collaboration of the Quezon City Government (QCG) and the Earthquakes and
Megacities Initiative. On 2018, the Quezon City DRRMC (QCDRRMC) revisited the LDRRMP
and updated the programs under the thematic areas vis-à-vis the existing internal and
external DRRM system of the city after four (4) years of implementation of the LDRRMP.

To establish the continuity of DRRM programs in the city, the LDRRMP 2021-2027 was
completed in 2020 through a Webinar Series designed for the members of the QCDRRMC
in the middle of the public health emergency brought about by COVID-19. This was the
QCDRRMO’s strategy to employ the multi-stakeholder and participatory approach
despite the pandemic. The Webinar Series was divided into three (3) distinct sessions

Webinar Series 1: Introduction to the Updating of the LDRRMP

• The Webinar Series included a quick refresher on the Philippine DRRM system to
introduce to participants the National DRRM framework and describe the
paradigm shift which molded it.
• The Series also provided an overview of the LDRRMP, its description, references,
and guiding principles. It reviewed all pertinent documents that are relevant to the
LDRRMP and included a discussion on the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Fund (LDRRMF) as the main source of funding for the
implementation of the LDRRMP, among many others. It also enumerated all
issuances governing the use of funds as well as other potential sources of funds.
• Initial breakout exercises were conducted among the Committees for the four (4)
thematic areas to draft the Goals, Objectives, and Outcomes. These policy
statements then became the bases for action planning in the following webinars.
• The Series was conducted across four sessions: July 28, 29, 30 and August 3, 2020.

29
Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan 2021-2027

Webinar Series 2: Breakout Sessions

• The QCDRRMC TWG were divided into the thematic committees for the breakout
sessions. Each committee then conducted SWOC Analysis for the four (4) thematic
areas of the DRRM, an exercise to evaluate the progress and implementation of
the LDRRMP 2014-2020, and action planning for each thematic area.
• At the end of the Series, the outputs for the action planning from each thematic
area were consolidated under the final goals, objectives and outcomes.
• The breakout sessions were held on September 9 and 11, 2020.

Webinar Series 3: Ranking Session for Programs under the LDRRMP 2021-2027

• Programs previously formulated in the breakout sessions were then ranked by the
TWG according to their perceived priority. Ranking these programs established the
priority for investment in terms of their urgency and importance to reducing risks
and building resilience.
• Programs that were ranked high in the workshops are then provided priority in terms
of funding in the LDRRMFIP 2021.
• This ranking session was held on October 22, 2020.

The NDRRMP which the LDRRMP is based on, was developed as a roadmap to help the
country move towards its vision of resilience, “Safer adaptive, and disaster resilient Filipino
communities toward sustainable development.” In principle, by aligning the LDRRMP with
the NDRRMP, all activities under the LDRRMP must be envisioned to contribute towards this
collective aim by 2028.

The following are the guiding principles towards achieving resiliency in the city:

• A national responsibility anchored on the country’s sustainable development

agenda
• A shared responsibility with stakeholders
• Anchored on human rights
• DRRM and development are strongly linked
• Apply multi-hazard approaches
• Inclusive and an all-of-society approach
• Local expression of risk
• Addressing the underlying causes of vulnerability, based on science, and across
different timescales
• Responsive risk governance with strong political will, commitment and leadership
• Best done through localization
• Anchored on community empowerment and shared responsibilities
• Effective when done through local, national, and international partnerships.

Figure 7. QCDRRMO Organizational Structure

The QCDRRMO is established to serve as the implementing arm of the QCDRRMC. The
QCDRRMO not only formulates the implementation of a comprehensive and integrated
LDRRMP but also sets the direction, implements, and coordinates DRRM programs and
activities of the Quezon City Government according to national standards and guidelines.

The QCDRRMO is headed by a Head of Office and assisted by four (4) sections: research
and planning, operations and warning, logistics and training, and finance and
administrative.

The Research and Planning Section develops and coordinates disaster risk reduction and
management programs and activities consistent with the NDRRMC standards and
guidelines, formulates and implements a comprehensive and integrated LDRRMP, and
supports local policymaking on disaster risk reduction in close coordination with the
BDRRMCs. They are also tasked to prepare and submit to the City Council, through the
DRRM Plan and annual investment plan, the proposed programming of the LDRRMF as
well as other dedicated disaster risk reduction and management resources, and other
regular funding source/s and budgetary support of the QCDRRMC/BDRRMC.

The Operations and Warning Section responds, manages the adverse effects of
emergencies, and carries out early recovery activities in the affected area. It is their duty
to ensure that there is an efficient coordination mechanism for immediate delivery of
food, shelter, and medical supplies for women and children. This group is also in charge
of operating a multi-hazard early warning system that provides accurate and timely
advice to city emergency response organizations and to the general public through PAISD
and CCC, particularly radio, landline communications, and technologies for
communication with rural communities.

The Logistics and Training Section organizes and conducts capacity building projects on
disaster risk reduction and management within the city. This section organizes trains, and
equips city emergency response teams and the community volunteers. In 2020, the
Regional Evacuation Center and Training Facility was established and became the Center
for Trainings and Capacity Building on disaster preparedness for the city government. This
section is responsible for ensuring the quality of all goods, drugs, medicines, equipment,
machine, office supplies, and other logistics needs.

The Finance and Administrative Section is in-charge of all matters related to personnel
concerns and finances. This section ensures the compliance of all personnel in terms of
job qualifications and documentary requirements, safe-keeping of personnel files of all
active staff, and handling financial and procurement matters and its corresponding
documentary requirements.

4 Risk Profile
4.1 Natural and Geographic Conditions
Owing to its size, Quezon City is the biggest city in the National Capital Region in terms of
population and land area. It has an estimated population of 2.86 million with a land area
slightly over 16 thousand hectares. Quezon City is located at the northeastern part of
Metro Manila near the center. The northern and eastern fringes of the city are bordered
by San Jose del Monte in Bulacan, San Mateo, Rizal, and Marikina City. The southern and
western parts are bounded by the cities of Pasig, Mandaluyong, San Juan, Caloocan,
Valenzuela, and Manila.

The Philippines consists of varying climate zones, each with a significantly different rainfall
pattern, with annual rainfall varying between 960mm and 4000mm. Within Metro Manila,
annual rainfall varies between 2000 mm in the Manila Bay area to 3000mm over the
mountains of Marikina, San Mateo, and Rodriguez. The climate type of Quezon City, Type
I, is characterized by a dry season from November to April and a wet season during the
rest of the year. However, due to climate variability, the city, as of 2012, experienced a
prolonged wet season.

A study by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services

Administration (PAGASA) predicts that in 2006-2035, the mean temperature will increase
to 27.1 degree C, and rainfall will rise to 93.7mm. There will be 6,302 dry days, 8 days of
rainfall of >300mm, and 1,984 days of daily maximum temperature of >35 degree C.

Quezon City’s topography is mostly rolling with alternating ridges and lowlands. Slopes of
between 0 degree and 15 degree dominate the northern part of the City while the terrain
gets lower as it extends to the south. The city has 5 river systems with 44 tributaries in total,
most of which drain into the Quezon City River system.

4.2 Social and Economic Conditions

4.2.1 Key Demographic Characteristics

Considered to be the largest in the National Capital Region, Quezon City has a population
of 2.86 million. Based on data from the 2010 Census of Population and Housing, an
increase of 82,270 from 2007 approximates the city’s 2.92% estimated annual population
growth rate. In 2010, Quezon City’s population amounted to 23% to the total population
in the National Capital Region.

Quezon City is acknowledged as the second biggest local government unit in the country.
It has 142 barangays and is divided into six (6) districts.

The number of households increased by 7%, from 2007 to 2010, with a corresponding
increase of 27% in the household population. As of 2010, the city has a young population
where only 5% are 60 years old and older, and a median age of 25 years. Quezon City
has more females with a sex ratio of 95 males for every 100 females. The majority of the
population over 9 years old are either single (45%) or married (42%).

In terms of level education completed in 2010, a quarter (25%) of Quezon City residents
reached only high school level while 7% had an elementary education only. Nineteen

36
Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan 2021-2027

percent (19%) of the 2010 household population was able to complete a college degree
while 2% did not complete any grade level.

Dependency ratio decreased from 50% in 2007 to 48% in 2010. This resulted from the larger
increase in the proportion of the economically active population compared to the slight
changes in the proportion of young and old dependents.

4.2.2 Land Use and Urban Development

The land in Quezon City is predominantly used for residential purposes. In terms of land
area, the city has a sizeable area for open spaces and parks, thus, earning its status as the
Green Lung of Metro Manila. A significant portion of the land is allocated for institutional
uses.

It is home to leading universities, hospitals and health facilities, media networks and
national government offices. The city’s highly urbanized region consisting of 16,112
hectares of land of both commercial and residential spaces serves as an ideal distribution
hub located at the heart of Metro Manila due to the convergence of various
transportation networks such as the Mass Rail Transit 3 (MRT-3), EDSA, North Luzon
Expressway, and the C-5 highway.

Most of its growth centers are also linked to the main thoroughfares, such as Balintawak
and Triangle Central Business District for Quirino Highway; and Libis, Cubao Triangle Central
Business District and Batangas link for Aurora Boulevard and Commonwealth Avenue. The
growth centers boast of various commercial, educational, historical, and recreational
centers, which generate additional revenue for the city.

Quezon City’s distinct qualities made it the most suitable site on which to build the capital
city and its capitol buildings during the post-war period. One factor that determined its
status is the extensive area of government-owned land right in its central zone, which
substantial active economy in the development of public infrastructures as well as more
liberal assignments in parks and recreation sites. The desirable geologic characteristics of
the city also provided a satisfactory foundation for buildings and structures, and at the
same time, allowed the construction of underground structures.

4.3 Hazards, Vulnerability, and Risk Assessment

4.3.1 Summary of Earthquake Risk in Quezon City

One of the major active faults in the Philippines is the Valley Fault System (VFS). The West
Valley Fault (WVF), one of the two major segments of the VFS, transects various parts of
Metro Manila including Quezon City. The 100-kilometer-long fault runs from northeast
through the southeast sections of Quezon City and passes through barangays Bagong
Silangan, Batasan Hills, Matandang Balara, Pansol, Blue Ridge B, Libis, Bagumbayan, White
Plains, and Ugong Norte.

The WVF moves roughly every 400 to 600 years and has moved four (4) times in the last
1,400 years. The last major earthquake generated by this fault was 360 years ago, in 1658.
This means that the fault could possibly trigger a large earthquake within the next few
years, or few ten years.

Also, based on the Metro Manila Impact Reduction Study (MMEIRS, 2004), the WVF is
expected to cause the largest impact in the metropolis and could generate a large

37
Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan 2021-2027

earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2, commonly known as “The Big One.” This will be
caused by an inland fault mechanism with seismic intensity of VIII (Very Destructive) or IX
(Devastating) alongside Marikina River and Manila Bay.

Since most of the areas that are near or on the WVF are residential zoned areas, “The Big
One” is estimated to cause heavy damage to properties and lives. About 34,000 will
instantly die from the quake, 114,000 will be injured and 40% of residential buildings in
Metro Manila will be smothered to the ground.

The impact will break Metro Manila into four (4) parts as bridges, roads, and highways
become impassable due to collapsing buildings and structures. Metro Manila North and
South will be separated if the Guadalupe Bridge across the Pasig River and along EDSA
falls down. Metropolitan East and West will be inaccessible to each other because of
impassable roads. The WVF also intersects two major roads in Quezon City, the Batasan-
San Mateo Road and the E. Rodriguez Jr. Avenue, and may possibly cause for more than
69 km of the ground to rupture along the transected areas.

Conflagration may also occur in the city in the event of high-magnitude earthquakes, and
a projected estimate of over 4,800 buildings may be burnt in case of an 8-meter per
second wind. Barangays along the WVF will be susceptible to liquefactions. “The Big One”
may also cause hundreds of aftershocks, many of which can last for several months and
will have damaging magnitudes of six (6) or greater.

The top five (5) barangays that are at high risk to extreme earthquake scenario
considering the combined physical risks, socio-economic impacts, coping capacities and
social vulnerabilities, are the following:
1. Bagumbayan
2. St. Ignatius
3. Ugong Norte
4. Bagong Silangan
5. Batasan Hills

• Bagumabayan, St. Ignatius, White Plains, Ugong Norte, and Blue Ridge B have some of the
highest fatality rates with values greater than 1.2% of the population at risk.

• Bagumbayan, Libis, Ugong Norte, Batasan Hills, and Bagong Silangan will have the highest
number of damaged buildings due to ground shaking.

• Kaligayahan has the highest number of critical facilities that are exposed to extreme ground
shaking.

• Bagong Lipunan ng Crame (hospitals). Bagumbayan and Commonwealth (emergency and

rescue operation centers and hazardous facilities), and Payatas (roads and bridges) have the
next highest exposure of critical facilities due to earthquakes.

4.3.2 Summary of Flood Risk in Quezon City

The Philippines experiences about twenty (20) cyclones in a typical year, bringing heavy
rainfall to the country. Consisting of varying climate zones, each with a significantly
different rainfall pattern, annual rainfall varies between 960mm and 4000mm. Within
Metropolitan Manila, annual rainfall varies between 2000mm in the Manila Bay area to
3000mm over the mountains of Marikina, San Mateo, and Rodriguez. Heavy rainfall

38
Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan 2021-2027

periodically inundates Metropolitan Manila extensively which can cause damages to

properties and impede economic activities.

Quezon City is a flood prone area in Metropolitan Manila and regularly experiences floods
of different magnitudes following heavy rain mainly due to two main factors. The northern
half of the city is close to the La Mesa Dam, a 700-hectare reservoir at 100 m above sea
level, while the southern region has low grade terrain and is affected by numerous
waterways, During heavy rainfall events, the water level can exceed its spilling level of
80.15m, and cause flood water to overflow and flood downstream areas. Anthropogenic
factors such as clogged canals, illegal settlements, poor urban planning, and lack of
preparedness of the populace further aggravate damages caused by floods.

Contributing factors such as affected population, buildings, and extent of flooding were
measured to rank the top barangays to prioritize for flood impacts:
1. Talayan
2. Damayang Lagi
3. Roxas
4. St. Peter
5. Dona Imelda

• Silangan which does not show up in the top 10 flood risk barangays has the highest flood
infection risk with a value of 3.5% of the population of the Barangay at risk of infection versus the
next highest Barangay Sto. Domingo (Matalahib) at 1.6%

• Talayan, Damayng Lagi, Tatalon, Roxas, Bagong Silangan, and Libis have some of the highest
fatality rates with values greater than 0.02% of the population at risk.

• St Peter, San Vicente, San Isidro, Labrador, and Sienna have the highest levels of long-term
displaced population and affected.

• Dona Imelda (hospitals), Masambong (emergency and rescue operation centers), Tatalon
(hazardous facilities and roads), Bagumbayan (hazardous facilities) have the highest exposure
of criticial facilities due to floods.

4.3.3 Summary of Combined Earthquake and Flood Risk

In the analysis for the Hazards, Vulnerability, and Risk Assessment, both the physical and
socio-economic dimensions are used to identify the hotspots. The indicators identified are
linked to the most significant quantitative outputs of the flood and earthquake impact
study, and then combined with the socio-economic vulnerability and coping capacities
of the different barangays in Quezon City. The combined earthquake and flood UDRI
score is also plotted for all barangays to provide further insights into the distribution of risk
in the city.

Considering all factors the top five Barangays to prioritize for combined earthquake and
flood impacts are therefore:
1. Bagumbayan
2. Libis
3. Damayang Lagi
4. Talayan
5. Dioquino Zobel

39

4.3.4 Summary of Human-Induced Disasters

Disasters are not solely natural in form as it can also be man-made where the cause of
hazard is deliberate or accidental. Thus, most man-made disasters fall into two general
categories of hazards: sociological (intentional acts) and technological (accidental
events).

Examples of sociological hazards are crime, civil disorder, terrorism and war, and hazard
material release (intentional) such as chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear
warfare (CBRNE) hazards. Technological hazards include fire accidents, travel or
transportation accidents, and industrial accidents.

A more comprehensive discussion of the City’s risk profile will be tackled in Volume II.

5 SWOT Analysis
Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats Analysis (SWOT) can be used in various
stages of the planning cycle. It has been widely used for strategy formulation and can be
used effectively by combining strengths and weaknesses of the LGU with the opportunities
and threats in its environment.

The QC TWG carried out SWOT analysis to use it as basis for developing strategies under
the LDRRMP. Below are the results of the SWOT Analysis per thematic area.

A separate SWOT Analysis (detailed in Annex C) was also conducted for the LDRRMP 2014-
2020 to evaluate the implementation of programs in the last six (6) years.

6 Vision
The LDRRMP is anchored both on the vision and legal provisions of the RA 10121 and the
NDRRMF.

The figure below illustrates the paradigm shift towards a proactive and preventive approach
to disaster management as legally embodied in RA 10121. This conceptual representation
highlights the vision to realize “Safer, adaptive, and disaster resilient Filipino communities
toward sustainable development” to be accomplished through preparedness, response,
prevention and mitigation, and rehabilitation and recovery.

7 Thematic Area Plans

Programs, projects and activities (PPAs) were developed based on the goals, objectives,
and outcomes developed by the QC TWG. The PPAs are aligned along the four thematic
areas of DRRM in accordance with the National DRRM Plan. In the PPAs, projects are
classified into immediate-term, short-term, and medium-term. The classification establishes
the priority for investment by Quezon City in terms of their urgency and importance to
reducing risks and building resiliency.

• These are classified as critical projects that must be

implemented immediately. Advancement or moving
Immediate Term
DRRM agenda forward is impossible without these
(Critical)
projects. The consequence of their non-implementation
will create a major liability to Quezon City.
• These are classified as important projects that must be
Short-Term done and implemented within 1-3 years to create the
(Important) foundation and infrastructure for DRR, which shall address
significant vulnerability.
• These are classified as relevant projects that should be
Medium-Term done and implemented in the next 4-6 years to improve
(Relevant) DRR in the medium- to long-term even with the limitation
of resources.

8 Monitoring and Evaluation

There is a prevalent notion in the current planning practice of the Philippines: rather than
a continuous/cyclical process, planning is considered as a simple process of producing a
plan document or project with ‘time start’ and ‘time finish’ elements. Monitoring and
Evaluation (M&E) addresses this continuity gap by linking one planning cycle to the next
by providing feedback or information on the results/assessment of plan implementation
and on how the next year’s activities can be undertaken to better achieve local goals
and objectives.

At the national level, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG)
advocates the undertaking of M&E and specifically provides manuals/guidelines for its
undertaking as a function of the local planning structure. Among these are the Local
Government Treasury Operations Manual (LGTO), Updated Budget Operations Manual
(UBOM), Rationalized Planning System Manual (RPS), and Comprehensive Development
Plan – Executive Legislative Agenda Manual (CDP-ELA). Though the LGTO and UBOM are
useful for M&E, it only includes forms and reports unlike the RPS and CDP that specifically
include M&E instructions/guidelines.

For the QC DRRMP 2021-2027, the QCDRRMC TWG identified the following for each
program:

▪ Expected Results
▪ Baseline
▪ Assumptions/Risk
▪ Objectively Verifiable Indicators
▪ Targets
▪ Data Sources
▪ Collection Methods
▪ Frequency and Audience of the Report
▪ Office of Primary Responsibility/Primary Person Responsible (OPR/PPR)
▪ Resource Needed

The following tables enumerate the monitoring and evaluation mechanisms for the
programs identified per thematic area. These were completed by the QC TWG during the
series of Webinars conducted to update the LDRRMP.

To cater to the vulnerable sectors, the practice of holistic M&E was adopted and
strengthened through the insertion of DRRM-Inclusive initiatives such as the following:

▪ Encouraging at least 30% of training participants to be women.

▪ Availability of sex, age, and disability disaggregated data of trained BHERT and
DAT from 2021 – 2017
▪ Proportion of women to total training participants, by type of training or activity
▪ Capacity Building programs are child- friendly, gender- sensitive, and inclusive.

▪ Buildings especially knowledge centers/institutes, district offices and evacuation

centers must comply with the provisions of the Batas Pambansa 344 (Accessibility
Law).
▪ Presence of ramps equipped with handrails in public spaces.
▪ Presence of signs and devices for visually-impaired and/or blind (braille) and for
hearing-impaired (signal lights) in public spaces.

97
Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan 2021-2027

▪ Presence of accessible toilets for people with disabilities

▪ Presence of bold and conspicuously installed graphic signs/maps
▪ Presence of fire exits and other barrier-free facilities and features
▪ Drills and exercises are child- friendly, gender- sensitive, and Inclusive.
▪ Drills and Exercises are represented by groups, organizations, and agencies
catering to the needs of vulnerable groups
▪ Construction of transitional shelters for children, children with disability, and
women-friendly
▪ Availability of sex, age, and disability disaggregated data of recipients of the
Resilient Livelihood project from 2021-2027 with data on proportion of women to
total livelihood type.
