 PURPOSE OF
MAINSTREAMING CDRA INTO
THE LOCAL PLANNING
SYSTEM
 PURPOSE OF MAINSTREAMING CDRA INTO THE
LOCAL PLANNING SYSTEM

Better understand natural hazards and climate change and how

these would likely alter the development path of the locality

Understand risks posed by natural hazards and climate

change on exposed areas, sectors and communities

Identify priority decision areas and development

challenges posed by climate change and natural
hazards
Determine realistic projections on demand
and supply
 PURPOSE OF MAINSTREAMING CDRA INTO THE
LOCAL PLANNING SYSTEM

Incorporate spatial development goals, objectives and targets

to reduce risks and vulnerabilities

Make informed decisions to effectively address risks

and vulnerabilities

Identify appropriate risk reduction and climate

change adaptation and mitigation measures
as inputs to the comprehensive development
planning and investment programming

FRAMEWORK
 BASIC CONCEPT AND FRAMEWORK
Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment
• CDRA (Climate and Disaster Locating houses
Risk Assessment) is a methodology
to understand and assess the
At least 240 houses are exposed
potential impacts of hazards to
to flood level 0.5 to >1.5 meter
people and their properties, and
other elements at risk.
How many are made of light materials?
• CDRA goes beyond the conventional
“risk assessment” as it incorporates How many people are exposed?
climate-related hazards and Who are they?
their prospective impacts.
How many households need to relocated?

Low, moderate and high risk?

ASSESSMENT
 BASIC CONCEPT AND FRAMEWORK
Basic Concept (AR5)

Risk is the expected losses (of lives, persons injured, property

damaged and economic activity disrupted) due to a particular hazard
for a given area and reference period.

The unit of measure of risk could be number of fatality or value of

damaged property.
 BASIC CONCEPT AND FRAMEWORK
Basic Concept (AR5)

Likelihood of occurrence is the estimated period of time expressed

in years, that a hazard of a certain magnitude is likely to repeat itself.

The unit of measure of risk could be number of fatality or value of

damaged property.
 BASIC CONCEPT AND FRAMEWORK
Basic Concept (AR5)

Severity of Consequence is a measure of the degree of impact,

such as injury, death, damage, interruption brought to the sector of
concern
 BASIC CONCEPT AND FRAMEWORK
The concept and practice of reducing disaster risks through systematic efforts to analyze and
manage the causal factors of disasters, including through reduced exposure to hazards, lessened
vulnerability of people and property, wise management of land and the environment, and
improved preparedness for adverse events (UNISDR, 2009).

Step 1. Collect and Organize Climate Change and Hazard Information
Inventory of hazards and their characteristics

Characterizing Hazard:

Spatial Extent - areas within the municipality/city and certain barangays that are likely to be
inundated or affected by a particular hazard;

Magnitude/Intensity - the estimated strength of the hazard that will impact an area (i.e. Flood
can be expressed in water depth, water flow velocity, and/or duration, storm surge expressed in
wave heights, earthquake ground shaking expressed as intensity scale);

Frequency/Probability of occurrence - refers to the likelihood or the average recurrence

interval (expressed in years) that a hazard event may happen; chance of it occurring per year
(expressed in percentage)
 CDRA PROCESS
Step 1. Collect and Organize Climate Change and Hazard Information
Inventory of hazards and their characteristics

Characterizing Hazard:

Duration – refers to how long the hazard will occur (expressed in minutes, days, weeks etc.)

Predictability – refers to the ability of human systems/technologies to accurately determine when

a hazard might occur including its characteristics.

Speed of Onset – whether the occurrence of the hazard is slow/creeping (i.e. SLR, Drought) or
rapid/fast (Flashfloods, earthquakes, Landslides).

Step 2. Scope the Potential Impacts of Hazards and Climate Change

This step takes off from the gathering of climate, climate change,
hazard and disaster information (Step 1)

Rough mapping of potential and existing impacts using Impact

Chain Diagrams or tables (usually per ecosystem/landscape,
sector or system of interests);

Determine climate change stimuli or hazards which will affect key

sectors so it can be studied further in the DRA or CCVA;
