What does PDRRMF mean in FEDERATION

The Pangasinan Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Federation (PDRRMF) is a non-profit organization established to promote the implementation of risk reduction and disaster management activities in the province. It works closely with local government units, communities, civil society organizations, research institutions, academic institutions, and private sector partners to reduce risks from disasters, build resilient communities, and strengthen disaster preparedness and response capacity.

The core objectives of the PDRRMF are to reduce risks from disasters; build resilient communities; develop effective disaster preparedness and response capacity; provide opportunities for learning, exchange experiences, networking; mobilize resources; support technology transfer; provide advocacy against vulnerability to disasters; work in partnership with local government units and other relevant stakeholders.

The PDRRMF engages in various activities that help mitigate the impact of disasters. These include but are not limited to raising awareness on various types of hazards; identifying potential disaster hotspots through mapping exercises; creating networks with key stakeholders in order to share best practices and technologies for risk reduction among them; advocating for policies that help protect vulnerable populations against disasters; providing trainings such as emergency responders’ trainings and community-based disaster risk management trainings.

The PDRRMF offers a range of supports including technical assistance on risk identification and mitigation strategies such as hazard mapping exercises, developing plans for community-based disaster management planning sessions, disseminating information on risk reduction among relevant stakeholders through newsletters or seminars. In addition, it provides advice on procurement processes for relief supplies distribution when needed. Lastly, it keeps track of resources available within provincial governments or other agencies necessary for responding quickly during an emergency situation.

Initiatives undertaken by the PDMRRF are funded mainly through donations from individuals or corporations as well as grants from government bodies both at national and regional levels. The federation also looks into fundraising activities over time which can be used for implementing various projects associated with disaster risk reduction efforts across its areas of operation.

Yes, Indeed! The PDMRRF has forged strong ties with many organizations both locally and globally – ranging from Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), Civil Society organisations (CSOs), International Agencies (IAs), Donor Organisations (DOs) etc – each working towards further strengthening disaster preparedness measures so that they are better able to respond more efficiently during an emergency situation. Through these partnerships it has been able to implement various programs related to reducing vulnerability against disasters in multiple settings.
