STS541 Vivian R. I.
The Core Set of statistics for the DRSF constructed upon a clearly identified
policy demand and existing mandate for the government organization for
monitoring. As indicated in the Sendai Framework there are seven (7) targets
and by monitoring it, would require good quality statistics on disaster
occurrences and direct impacts (See Annex I).

3. The Proposed Expenditure Accounts for Disaster Risk Reduction
In 2016, the Disaster Related Statistics Framework was conducted and
pilot-tested in the Philippines, along with other 3 countries - Bangladesh, Fiji,
and Indonesia. The summary tables likewise highlighted on the Disaster Risk
Reduction Expenditure and Transfers (DRRE). The aim of the DRRE tables is to
start developing a special account or a satellite account of the national
accounts that are linked with the System of National Accounts (SNA) and the
System of Environment-Economic Accounts.
The DRR activities was developed to align with the concepts, standards
and formats of the SNA since the information considered in the DRRE are
obtained and aligned with the broader framework for the economy. Data and
data sources are exactly the data sources used for the SNA. Another task for
the DRRE is to be able to separately identify those activity with a primary
disaster risk reduction purpose.

Data and Data Sources
In the Philippines, the first attempt to look at the available data in
developing the Expenditure Accounts on Disaster Risk Reduction has build on
the existing data from the national accounts particularly those data for the
compilation of the Public Administration and Defense under the Production
Account and the Government Final Expenditure Accounts of the Expenditure
Accounts. These data are mainly obtained from the Annual Financial Report
(AFR) of the Commission on Audit (COA), the National Expenditure Program
(NEP) of the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), Consolidated
Report on Official Development Assistance (ODA) Programs and Projects and
the ODA Portfolio of the National Economic and Development Authority
(NEDA). The Office of Civil Defense under the National Disaster Risk Reduction
Management Council provides data on the number of hazardous and disaster
events as well as the number of people evacuated/displaced and affected;
number of damaged and destroyed dwellings due to disaster events. In
addition, the following data sources are generating information on:
• Department of Health (DOH) – provides data on number of deaths and
number of injured due to disaster; damaged and destroyed critical
infrastructures e.g. health facilities; medical cost of people injured or ill due
to disaster events;
