DRRM Advocacy and Consciousness raising • Process of providing information and raising of awareness on the concepts related to disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) and the DRRM Law to internal and external DLSU stakeholders; and • Networking and linkaging with DRRM practitioners and related institutions for information sharing.

Curriculum mainstreaming of DRRM • Working towards the incorporation of DRRM concepts within selected DLSU subjects with community service components or those using the service learning methods.

Formation of inter-disciplinary DLSU DRRM team • Institutionalization of DRRM within the University by formation of appropriate local structures and mechanisms; • Designation of point person(s) per academic and non academic units of DLSU as disaster coordinator; and • Reconfiguration of the Lasalyano Kaakibat tuwing may Sakuna (LAKAS) from a purely response mechanism to risk reduction and management.

Disaster Resilient Communities • Institutionalization of DRRM in selected COSCA community partners; and • Ensure the capacity of the selected partner communities to respond and recover from disaster episodes.

CB DRRM approach • A community organizing approach emphasizing the formation of local structures to implement DRRM initiatives within a specific community; and • Inculcating a culture of disaster risk reduction and management among the local community residents.

Institutionalized systems: comprehensive and all hazards • A disaster risk reduction mechanism that is designed to respond to a variety of hazards and disaster episodes that the communities may be exposed to; • A local DRRM mechanism that utilizes sound research and science; and • A system that is institutionalized using local legal instruments such as ordinances and resolutions.

Integrated efforts of stakeholders • A disaster risk reduction system that allocates responsibilities not only to the LGU but engages other internal and external stakeholders to take part in it; and • Collaborative endeavor built on principled partnership.
