Climate change and disaster risk reduction are closely linked. More extreme weather events in the future are likely to increase the number and scale of disasters. At the same time, the existing methods and tools of disaster risk reduction provide powerful capacities for adaptation to climate change. (UNISDR, 2008)
This section aims to gather updated information on disaster risk management practices of households and gather households’ observations with regards to the changing environment that may indicate climate change.
Begin by reading the section introduction to the respondent:
“Now, we would like to ask whether your household experienced disasters in the past three (3) years as well as ask about your household’s preparedness should an unfortunate event arises.”
M01: Household’s residence in current barangay
Ask the respondent, “Has your household continuously been residing in this barangay since three (3) years ago (March 01, 2020)?”. Select ‘1’ for Yes, or ‘2’ for No as provided by the respondent. If the answer is ‘No’, proceed to M07.
M02: Household’s experiences in current barangay compared with three (3) years ago (2020)
Ask the respondent, “Compared with three (3) years ago (2020), did your household experience the following in this barangay?”.
Read the following scenarios to the respondent. Then, for each scenario, select ‘1’ for Yes, or ‘2’ for No as provided by the respondent.
| Codes | Description | Skipping instruction |
|---|---|---|
| A | Decrease in water supply | IF YES, ASK ALSO M03 |
| B | More frequent flooding | IF YES, ASK ALSO M04 AND M05 |
| C | More frequent drought | IF YES, ASK ALSO M06 |
| D | Hotter temperature | |
| E | More frequent brownouts |
If the answer of the respondent in ‘A’ for Decrease in water supply is ‘1’ for Yes, he/she should also answer M03 (Primary reason for the decrease in water supply). The water supply being referred to is the flow of water (regardless of the source) used for drinking, washing, cleaning, and all other activities that require water. If there are more than two (2) sources of water, consider only the most frequently used. (Source: CBMS Handbook, 2014).
If the answer of the respondent in ‘B’ for More frequent flooding is ‘1’ for Yes, the respondent should also be asked questions M04 and M05. If the respondent says ‘1’ for Yes in ‘C’ for More frequent drought, he/she should also be asked question M06.
Drought is a prolonged dry period in the natural climate cycle (WHO). PAGASA defines drought as three (3) consecutive months of way below normal (more than 60% reduction from average); or five (5) consecutive months of below normal (21%-60% reduction from average) rainfall conditions in an area.
If the respondent’s answers in categories ‘A’ to ‘C’ are all ‘2’ for No regardless of the answers in categories ‘D’ and ‘E’, proceed to M07 (Location of evacuation area).
M03: Primary reason for the decrease in water supply
Only ask this item if the answer in M02 ‘A’ (decrease in water supply) is ‘1’ for Yes.
Ask the respondent, “What is the primary reason for the decrease in water supply?”. Refer to the answer categories below.
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Drought/ summer season |
| 2 | Broken faucet/pump |
| 3 | Lower water level in the dam |
| 4 | Less frequent delivery of tanker truck/peddler |
| 5 | Increase in number of consumers |
| 6 | Rain /storm/ bad weather/ flooding |
| 9 | Others, specify _____ |
When code ‘9’ is selected, make sure to specify the other reason for the decrease in water supply. This may include “water pollution”, “depletion of groundwater”, among others, and should exclude reasons mentioned in codes ‘1’ to ‘6’.
M04: Duration for the flood to subside three (3) years ago
Only ask M04 if the answer in M02 ‘B’ (more frequent flooding) is ‘1’ for Yes. Ask the respondent, “Three years ago (2020), how long did it usually take for the flood to subside?”. Indicate the number of hours for a typical flood in the area to subside three (3) years ago. If the respondent/household experienced multiple instances of flooding, estimate the mean or average number of hours.
If the respondent said that on average the household observed that the flood usually lasted for 2 ½ hours, please record 2.50 hours. Duration can be in whole numbers or in decimals.
If the respondent said that three (3) years ago it took three (3) days for a typical flood to subside, compute for the equivalent number of hours. In this case, the total number of hours in a 3-day flood is 72 hours (i.e., 3 days x 24 hours per day = 72 hours).
M05: Duration for the flood to subside in the past 12 months
Only ask M04 if the answer in M02 ‘B’ (more frequent flooding) is ‘1’ for Yes.
Ask the respondent, “In the past 12 months (March 01, 2022 - February 28, 2023), how long did it usually take for the flood to subside?”.
Indicate the number of hours for a typical flood in the area to subside in the past 12 months. If the respondent experienced multiple instances of flooding in the past 12 months, estimate the average number of hours it took for the flood to subside.
If the respondent said that on average the household observed that the flood usually lasted for 2 ½ hours, please record 2.50 hours. Duration can be in whole numbers or in decimals.
If the respondent said that in the past 12 months it took three (3) days for a typical flood to subside, compute for the equivalent number of hours. In this case, the total number of hours in a 3-day flood is 72 hours (i.e., 3 days x 24 hours per day = 72 hours).
M06: Drought occurrence in the last three (3) years
Only ask M06 if the answer in M02 ‘C’ (more frequent drought) is ‘1’ for Yes.
Ask the respondent, “In the past three (3) years (March 2020 - February 2023), how long did the last drought occur?”.
Indicate the number of months the last drought in the area occurred. If the respondent experienced multiple instances of droughts in the past three (3) years, record the duration of drought that was most recently experienced by the household.
If the respondent said that the household observed that the drought lasted for 4.5 months, please record 5 months. All recorded figures must be in whole numbers, i.e., no decimal places.
M07: Location of evacuation area
This item should be asked to all households and should not be left blank.
Ask the respondent, “Do you know the location of your evacuation area?”. Select ‘1’ for Yes, or ‘2’ for No as provided by the respondent.
M08: Temporary evacuation
Ask the respondent, “In the past three (3) years (March 2020 - February 2023), did the household temporarily evacuate from this house/place of residence at least once due to natural calamities, man-made disaster/event, peace and order problem, or relocation?”. Select ‘1’ for Yes, ‘2’ for No, or ‘8’ for Don’t know as provided by the respondent.

Ask the question, “In the past three (3) years (March 2020 - February 2023),, what was the household's main reason for moving out/evacuating temporarily from its house/place of residence?”. If the household experienced more than one (1) calamity in the past three years, record only the calamity that made the household stay the longest in the evacuation area.
Select the category corresponding to the answer provided by the respondent. Possible answers are shown below along with their corresponding definitions.
| Code | Response Category | Definitions |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Typhoon | Tropical cyclones are warm-core low pressure systems associated with a spiral inflow of mass at the bottom level and spiral outflow at the top level. In other parts of the world, these are referred to as hurricanes, typhoons or simply tropical cyclones depending on the region. In the Western North Pacific Ocean, they are called "typhoons” (Source: PAGASA) |
| 2 | Flood | PAGASA defines flood as an abnormal progressive rise in the water level of a stream that may result in the overflowing of the water of the normal confines of the stream with the subsequent inundation of areas which are not normally submerged. This can be naturally caused by meteorological events (e.g., intense or prolonged rainfall, storm surges, etc.), seismic activities and astronomically-influenced phenomena (e.g., flooding due to high tides coinciding with the occurrence of heavy rainfall). Flooding may also be an outcome of blasting slopes of hills and mountains, construction of temporary dams, failure of hydraulic and other control structures, untimely and sudden release of large amounts of excess water in hydraulic structures, and denudation of forest and watershed areas. This category may include flash floods and storm surges. Flash flood is flooding caused by a rapid rise in the water level of rivers, streams, or lakes, usually as a result of heavy rains. (Source: PAGASA) Storm surge is also known as “daluyong ng bagyo” and refers to the abnormal rise in sea level that occurs during tropical cyclones or “bagyo”. It is caused by strong winds and low atmospheric pressures produced by tropical cyclones. As the tropical cyclone approaches the coast, strong winds push the ocean water over the low-lying coastal areas, which can lead to flooding. (Source: PAGASA) |
| 3 | Drought | Drought is a prolonged dry period in the natural climate cycle. It is usually three (3) consecutive months of way below normal (>60% reduction from average); or five (5) consecutive months of below normal (21%-60% reduction from average) rainfall conditions in an area. |
| 4 | Earthquake | An earthquake is a weak to violent shaking of the ground produced by the sudden movement of rock materials below the earth’s surface. (Source: PHIVOLCS) |
| 5 | Volcanic eruption | Volcano is a vent, hill, or mountain from which molten or hot rocks with gaseous material have been ejected. Volcanoes could also be in the form of craters, depressions, hills, or mountains formed by removal of pre-existing material or by accumulation of ejected materials. (Source: PHIVOLCS) The following are volcanic hazards directly associated with eruption:
Landslide, lahar flooding, volcanic tsunami, ground deformation (subsidence, fissuring) may also be indirect results of the volcanic eruption. (Source: PAGASA) |
| 6 | Landslide/ mudslide | Landslide is the mass movement of rock, soil, and debris down a slope due to gravity. It occurs when the driving force is greater than the resisting force. It is a natural process that occurs on steep slopes. The movement may range from very slow to rapid. It can affect areas both near and far from the source. (Source: PHIVOLCS) |
| 7 | Fire | This category may include fire incidents encountered by the household, a community (or a number of households) and fires that negatively affected the livelihood/source of income of household members. EXCLUDED here are forest fires or wildfires, which should be categorized under code ‘9’. |
| 8 | Epidemic/ pandemic | Pandemic is an epidemic occurring worldwide, or over a very wide area, crossing international boundaries and usually affecting a large number of people. (Source: WHO) An example of which is the COVID-19 pandemic (Coronavirus Disease). As of 11 April 2022, there have been 3.68 million confirmed cases in the Philippines. Regular recording of COVID-19 cases in the country started in February 2020. Epidemic is the occurrence in a community or region of cases of an illness, specific health-related behavior, or other health-related events clearly in excess of normal expectancy. (Source: WHO) An example of epidemic is the dengue epidemic in 2019. |
| 9 | Armed conflict | Two categories of armed conflict are recognized under the Geneva Conventions 1949 or Additional Protocols 1977: (a) international armed conflicts occurring between two or more states or countries; and (b) non-international armed conflicts which occur between State and non-governmental armed groups, or only between armed groups. (Source: UNODC) Examples of non-international armed conflicts are the Marawi Siege in 2017 and Zamboanga City Crisis in 2013. Assassination of government official or murder/homicide cases in the area are not covered in this category. |
| 99 | Others, specify _____ | This may include tsunami, forest fire, etc. |
M10: Last temporary evacuation in the past twelve (12) months
Ask this item if the answer of the respondent in M08 is ‘1’ for Yes.
Ask the respondent, “Did your household's last temporary evacuation occur in the past 12 months (March 01, 2022 – February 28, 2023)?”. Select ‘1’ for Yes, or ‘2’ for No as provided by the respondent. If the answer is ‘No’, proceed to M13.
M11: Place of last temporary evacuation
Ask this item if the answer of the respondent in M10 is ‘1’ for Yes.
Ask the respondent, “Where did you stay during your household's last temporary evacuation?”.
Then, go over the choices below and select the appropriate code:

| 9 | Others, specify _____ |
If the household evacuated several times in the past 12 months, record only the most recent location where the household temporarily stayed because of the disaster.
If the household stayed in multiple evacuation areas due to a disaster, record only the location where the household stayed the longest.
Code ‘9’ should also be used if the location of the evacuation area is not included in any of the categories from ‘1’ to ‘7’ above.
M12: Length of stay in the evacuation area
Ask this item if the answer of the respondent in M10 is ‘1’ for Yes.
Ask the respondent, “How long did your household stay in the evacuation area? (in days)”. Indicate the number of days the household stayed in the evacuation area mentioned in M11.
Other calamities may include tsunami, storm surge, power outage (if unsure when this will be restored), etc.
For multiple instances, record the duration of the most recent stay.
If the respondent said that the household stayed in the evacuation area for 8.5 days, record 9 days. All recorded figures must be in whole numbers, i.e., no decimal places.
If the respondent said that the household stayed in the evacuation area for two (2) weeks, convert it into days. In this case, the household stayed for 14 days in the evacuation area (i.e., 2 weeks x 7 days per week = 14 days).
M13: Calamities which negatively affect the household in the past 12 months
Ask the respondent, “In the past 12 months (March 01, 2022 - February 28, 2023), which of the following calamities negatively affected your household?”.

If the respondent answers No in all categories, proceed to M19 (Disaster Preparedness Kit). For households who were affected by the calamities but not negatively affected by them, select ‘2’ for No in M13.
If ‘1’ for Yes is indicated in category ‘Z’, specify in the space provided the type of calamity experienced by the household in the past 12 months.
M14: Negative impacts of calamity to household
Ask M14 if there is at least one (1) calamity that negatively affected the household, i.e., answer in at least one of the calamities in M13 is ‘1’ for Yes.
For each calamity mentioned in M13, ask the respondent, “What are the impacts of (CALAMITY) to you/your household member/s?”.
For every calamity cited by the respondent in M13, there should be at least one (1) negative impact experienced by the household.
Enumerate to the respondent all impacts of calamities listed below. Select ‘1’ for Yes if they experienced the impact. Otherwise, select ‘2’ for No.

If there are damages to fisheries and aquafarms, record “1” or “Yes” in Damage to crops and/or livestock/poultry. Then add NOTES/REMARKS: “Damage to fishery/aquafarm”.
Other impacts may include power outages, etc.
If there are other negative impacts of calamities to the household that cannot be classified in any of the specific categories above, select ‘Z’ for Others, specify. Then, enter the other negative impacts of calamities in the space provided.
M15A: Estimated cost of damages to property
If in M14 the respondent answered that at least one (1) of the calamities caused damage to their property, ask the respondent, “What is the estimated total cost of damages to your property because of these calamities?”.
Indicate in Philippine peso the estimated total cost of damages to property caused by all calamities experienced by the household.
In reference to the Disaster-Related Statistics Framework of the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), the following are items to be considered to measure the direct material impacts of the calamities to the household’s property:
Direct impacts on fixed assets and other durables
a. Partial or total damages to the dwelling/housing unit
b. Partial or total damages to buildings and structures owned by the household or any of its members (e.g., water supply and sanitation facilities, etc.)
c. Partial or total damages to machinery and equipment owned or paid for by the household or any of its members
d. Partial or total damages to household’s durable goods (e.g., household appliances, furniture, vehicles, boats, ICT devices, etc.)
Direct impacts on valuables
a. Damages to art objects and musical instruments
b. Damages to other valuables
Direct impacts on land owned by the household, i.e., decrease in the value of land or decrease in land area due to denudation.
You may use the computation sheet. Answer in this item should be greater than 0.
M15B: Estimated cost of damage to crops and/or livestock/poultry, fisheries/aquafarm
If in M14 the respondent answered that at least one (1) of the calamities caused damage to their crops and/or livestock/poultry, ask the respondent, “What is the estimated total cost of damages to crops and/or livestock/poultry because of these calamities?”.
Indicate in Philippine peso the estimated total cost of damage to crops and/or livestock/poultry caused by all calamities experienced by the household.
Cost of damages to fisheries and aquafarms should be considered in this item. Record the amount (in Philippine Peso) in Damage to crops and/or livestock/poultry. Then add NOTES/REMARKS: “Damage to fishery/aquafarm”.
If the household experienced damages to both crops and/or livestock/poultry, and to fisheries/aquafarm, include the amount of damages to fisheries/aquafarm in the NOTES/REMARKS.
In reference to the Disaster-Related Statistics Framework of the UNESCAP, the following are primary considerations in estimating the calamities’ material impacts to crops, livestock/poultry, fisheries, and aquafarms:
Crops
a. Area affected or destroyed
b. Stored produce destroyed
c. Stored inputs destroyed
d. Equipment/machinery destroyed
Livestock/poultry
a. Animals killed
b. Stored products, feed, and fodder destroyed
c. Equipment/machinery destroyed
Fisheries/aquafarm (NOTE: NOT included in UNESCAP Framework but for the purpose of CBMS, fisheries/aquafarm will be included)
a. Area of aquafarm affected or destroyed
b. Stored stock destroyed
c. Stored inputs destroyed
d. Equipment/machinery destroyed
The operator of the agriculture/fishery activities should be the one to report the cost of damage to crops and/or livestock/poultry, fisheries/aquafarm.
You may use the computation sheet. Answer in this item should be greater than 0.
M16: Expenditure on reconstruction and repair
If in M14 the respondent answered that at least one (1) of the calamities caused damage to property, ask the respondent, “What is the total amount of expenditures on construction and repair of damages to property?”.
Indicate in Philippine peso the expenditure on reconstruction and repair of damages to property caused by all calamities experienced by the household.
In reference to the Disaster-Related Statistics Framework of the UNESCAP, replacement or reconstruction costs represent an alternative measure for direct economic loss due to calamities. These represent actual flows of financial resources spent by the household to restore the physical assets back to its previous condition before the disaster. It is a different concept compared to measuring changes to the values of assets as what are being referred to in M15.
Please note also that not all damaged or destroyed assets will be recovered. Some assets will simply be written off whereas others will be replaced by different new assets.
Note that the costs of “build back better”, for example, are different from the costs of recovering losses. These costs of “building back better” are the additional structural measures to mitigate disaster risk and impact and may sometimes be difficult to separate from reconstruction and repair expenditures. Such costs of “building back better” should be EXCLUDED in M16, whenever possible. Record in Enumerator’s Note/Computation Sheet, or to the data item in the CBMS Mobile Application if the cost indicated in M16 includes such costs of “building back better”.
You may use the computation sheet. Put ‘0’ in the space provided if no reconstruction or repair was made.

Select ‘1’ for Yes, or ‘2’ for No for each form of assistance.
If there are other forms of assistance extended to the household not included in category ‘A’ to ‘D’, select ‘1’ for Yes in ‘Z’ for Others, specify. Then, indicate in the space provided the other form of assistance received by the household. Other forms of assistance could include medical consultation/treatment, tent for the household’s temporary shelter, COVID-19 RT-PCR or antigen testing, among others.
If the respondent answered at least one (1) ‘1’ for Yes in the forms of assistance listed above, proceed to M18. If for all forms of assistance the respondent answered ‘2’ for No, proceed to M19.
M18: Entity/ies who provided assistance to the household
If the respondent answered at least one (1) ‘1’ for Yes in any of the types of assistance listed in M17, ask the respondent, “Which entity/ies provided the assistance when your household experienced disasters in the past 12 months (March 01, 2022 - February 28, 2023)?”.
Possible choices for this data item are as follows:

Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) is the systematic process of using administrative directives, organizations, and operational skills and capacities to implement strategies, policies, and improved coping capacities in order to lessen the adverse impacts of hazards and the possibility of disaster. (Source: RA 10121)
Local DRRM Plans, which the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) is tasked to evaluate, shall ensure that DRR measures are incorporated into the Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) of the local government units. The LDRRMPs shall be developed by the Local DRRM Offices (LDRRMOs) at the provincial, city and municipal levels and the Barangay Development Councils. These offices shall play a critical role in attaining community resilience against disasters (Source: NDRRMC). LDRRMPs are used as basis for allocating 70% of the LGU’s Local DRRM Fund. It shall also cover 4 aspects of DRRM, namely: disaster preparedness, response, prevention and mitigation, and rehabilitation and recovery. These LDRRMPs should be consistent with the existing National DRRM Plan. (Source: OCD)
Involvement of communities in the DRRM planning is encouraged to consider needs and to ensure cascading of knowledge about DRRM measures in the locality.
