PRE-DISASTER RISK ASSESSMENT (PDRA) COORDINATION MEETING

JULY 06, 2026

The Pre-Disaster Risk Assessment (PDRA) Coordination Meeting is an important preparedness activity conducted by Barangay Maloma to strengthen coordination, planning, and decision-making before the possible occurrence of a disaster or emergency.

The meeting brings together barangay officials, members of the Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Committee (BDRRMC), local responders, volunteers, and other concerned stakeholders to assess potential hazards and risks that may affect the community. It provides an opportunity to review current conditions, identify vulnerable areas and sectors, and discuss possible scenarios that may require immediate action. During the coordination meeting, participants discuss available resources, response capabilities, communication procedures, evacuation arrangements, and the responsibilities of different teams and personnel. The group also reviews preparedness measures and identifies actions that need to be taken before, during, and after a potential disaster. This collaborative approach helps ensure that everyone understands their respective roles and that response efforts can be carried out in an organized and coordinated manner.

The PDRA meeting also promotes timely sharing of information among stakeholders. By gathering relevant updates and assessing the situation together, the barangay can make informed decisions and take appropriate preventive measures to reduce potential risks to residents, properties, and essential community facilities. Through the Pre-Disaster Risk Assessment Coordination Meeting, Barangay Maloma strengthens its disaster preparedness and reinforces the importance of proactive planning. Rather than waiting for a disaster to occur, the barangay works ahead of time to identify risks, prepare resources, coordinate responders, and protect the community. This initiative reflects Barangay Maloma’s continued commitment to building a prepared, coordinated, and resilient community, ensuring that appropriate measures are in place to safeguard residents and minimize the possible impact of disasters and emergencies.
