Insurance for community disaster volunteers inconsistent with Section V of
National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC)

Management Act dated May 27, 20210, declares that, “It shall be the policy of
the State to engage the participation of civil society organizations (CSOs), the
private sector and volunteers in the government's disaster risk reduction
programs towards complementation of resources and effective delivery of
services to the Citizenry.” It also states that, “The government agencies, CSOs,
private sector and LGUs may mobilize individuals or organized volunteers to
augment their respective personnel complement and logistical requirements in
the delivery of disaster risk reduction programs and activities.”
5.2 Section 1, Rule 9 of the IRR of RA 10121 states that “The agencies, CSOs,
private sector, and LGUs concerned shall take full responsibility for the
enhancement, welfare and protection of their volunteers, and shall submit the list
of volunteers to the OCD, through the LDRRMOs, for accreditation and inclusion
in the database of community disaster volunteers.”
5.3 Further, Section 5 of the same Rule states that any volunteer who incurs death or
injury while engaged in DRRM activities, such as, (a) disaster prevention and
mitigation; (b) disaster preparedness; (c) disaster response; (d) disaster
rehabilitation and recovery, shall be entitled to compensatory benefits and
individual personnel accident insurance. It is the responsibility of the LGU
