This comprehensive course approach to learning and preparing for disasters consists of two units: Unit I covers modules that detail the "what, when, where, how, and why" of major hazards in the Philippines, namely: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, sinkholes, typhoons, thunderstorms, flash floods, floods, storm surges, tornadoes, El Niño and La Niña, and fires. Unit II, on the other hand, introduces programs and schemes for risk abatement and management initiated either by private entities or the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), administered by the Department of National Defense. The unit also discusses institutional arrangements and mechanisms of disaster management system, and identifies roles of national and local actors in processes related to DRRR.
