 POST-DISASTER NEEDS ASSESSMENT
TRAINING COURSE DESIGN

Background

RA 10121 is the overall legal framework that provides holistic and comprehensive
approach to disaster resiliency. It was signed into law on May 10, 2010, which led to
the government’s paradigm shift from a reactive disaster response and coordination to
a proactive stance in DRRM. Specifically, the paradigm shift gave birth to the Disaster
Rehabilitation and Recovery as a thematic area. The goal of Disaster Rehabilitation
and Recovery is to restore and improve the facilities, livelihoods, living conditions and
organizational capacities of the affected communities, and reduce disaster risks in
accordance with the “build back better” principle.

To ensure an efficient, effective and well-organized Disaster Rehabilitation and

Recovery, the Philippine government begins by conducting an aggregate but detailed
assessment of the disaster impacts and identifying the critical needs of the affected
sectors. Such strategy is particularly achieved thru the Post-Disaster Needs
Assessment (PDNA). PDNA is defined as a multi-sectoral and multidisciplinary
structured approach for assessing disaster impacts and prioritizing recovery and
reconstruction needs. PDNA is led and undertaken by the government in collaboration
with international development partners and even the private sector.

To learn more about the overall PDNA process, the course design for the conduct of
PDNA training is hereby prepared.

Course Objectives

General Objective
At the end of the training, the participants will be able to obtain the knowledge, skills,
and attitude required in the overall conduct of PDNA as fundamental for the
implementation of disaster rehabilitation and recovery.

Post-Disaster Needs Assessment 3

Specific Objectives
Upon completion of the training, the participants will be able to:

1. Discuss the overview of PDNA, its background and general principles;

2. Explain the key terminologies used in PDNA;
3. Describe the function of Damage and Loss Assessment in PDNA;
4. Explain the importance of Human Recovery Needs Assessment in PDNA;
5. Explain the activation and organization process and steps in conducting PDNA;
6. Describe the different sectors involved in PDNA;
7. Explain the linkages of PDNA to long term development; and,
8. Experience the conduct of PDNA through simulation exercises.

Teaching-Learning Methodologies

As we transition into the “new normal,” the OCD-CBTS ushers its participants into a
variety of online tools designed to fit the course and accommodate its learners. The
course utilizes the following teaching-learning methods:

 Self-paced Learning is a method in which the learners can control the amount
of material content they consume, as well as the duration of time needed to
learn the new information properly. Note however, each self-paced session is
given a corresponding technical training time credit.
 Video teleconferencing (VTC) is a learning technology that facilitates the
communication and interaction of two or more users through a combination of
high-quality audio and video over the internet. As face-to-face learning is
currently adjourned, VTC is used for lectures and other interaction.
Online Evaluation, in the forms of pre-training and post-training tests, is
administered to assess the effectiveness of the training course. Likewise, self-
paced quizzes and assignments are given during for the course duration.
