RAPID DAMAGE ASSESSMENT AND
NEEDS ANALYSIS (RDANA)
TRAINING COURSE

I. BACKGROUND
I. RATIONALE

It is a known fact that the Philippines is vulnerable to natural disasters and

calamities. Due to its geographic location, the country frequently experiences natural
hazards such as typhoons, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis.
Furthermore, man-made disasters and incidents also put the lives of the Filipinos at
stake. When these disasters occur, it is important for the DRRM agencies,
particularly the response groups, to determine the immediate impacts of the
disasters and cater to the priority needs of the people. However, due to the
increasing complexity of the disasters, assessing the situation of the impacted areas,
determining the numbers of the affected population and addressing the priority
needs pose as challenges.

Based on such situation, the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) was mandated by
the Republic Act 10121 to institutionalize Rapid Damage Assessment and Needs
Analysis a tool for disaster response. According to Rule 7, Section 3G of the
Implementing Rules and Regulations of RA 10121, OCD is tasked to “formulate
standard operating procedures for the deployment of rapid Damage Assessment and
Needs Analysis teams, information sharing among different government agencies,
and coordination before and after disasters at all levels.” It is vital for OCD to develop
a team of responders who will be deployed at the impacted areas and do an
immediate assessment of the situation at the ground. Such operation is called Rapid
Damage Assessment and Needs Analysis (RDANA).

In general, RDANA works by providing a quick “snapshot” of the disaster

situation. It determines the type and extent of damages brought about by a disaster,
including its secondary threats, the critical needs of the affected population, and the
local response capacities. It allows the prescription of the priorities for response and
recovery activities. It also serves as a basis for recommending the need for
international assistance, if necessary.

In this connection, this concept note on Three-Day Training on RDANA is

hereby proposed. The training shall serve as a foundation for OCD to organize a
team of responders who will be conducting RDANA in times of disasters and
emergencies.
