Management of the Dead and Missing (MDM)
Under the National Disaster Response
Plan (NDRP), the DILG is the cluster lead in the
Management of the Dead and Missing Persons
(MDM), and CODIX is at the forefront, especially
in developing the guidelines and operational
mechanisms, and ensuring its implementation.
In coordination with the Office of Civil
Defense, Philippine Red Cross, National Bureau
of Investigation, Department of Health and
Department of Social Welfare and Development,
CODIX has facilitated inputs into draft rules and
regulations governing the implementation of
MDM and drafted the policy on the role of the
Department in MDM and the policy on the
implementation of the Management of the Dead
and Missing for the DILG Regional Offices.
DRR Knowledge Products
Aside from our capacity development
initiatives, we also supported advocacies,
through production of knowledge products such
as development of “Listo si Kap” flyer for
dissemination in all barangays nationwide, and
printing of flood and landslide susceptibility
composite maps which already disseminated to
171 Yolanda-affected areas. Development of Online
Barangay Disaster Readiness Checklist
(BDRC)”, an audit tool to provide a national
database for the level of preparedness of the
barangay and to aid the national government in
developing programs to address the areas for
improvement in DRRM at the barangay level.
The Operation Listo
As added
advocacy on LGU
disaster preparedness
and pursuant to RA
10121, the Department,
thru the Local
Government Academy (LGA), launched Oplan
Listo in CY 2014, which aims to strengthen the
capacity and level of preparedness of LGUs
through the creation of Listo Teams, both from
the interior and local government sectors.
It aims to boost emergency response and
rehabilitation at grassroots level by using terms
like ”Alpha”, “Bravo” and “Charlie” to warn the
public of incoming weather disturbances instead
of the usual public storm warning signals in
numerals. Said protocol is meant to make
advisories easier to understand whether in urban
centers or in remote communities. A
comprehensive pre-disaster risk assessment will
be conducted this year in coordination with
DSWD to be able to identify the appropriate
response strategies based on the actual needs of
specific areas.
Three (3) LGU Disaster Preparedness
Manuals were developed and distributed in the
regions, namely: 8,903 copies of Checklist of
Early Preparations for Mayors; 8,903 copies of
