Disaster Management Services (DMS) is one of the major services of the Philippine Red Cross, primarily tasked to deliver humanitarian assistance during emergency and disaster situations. Through its wide network of well-trained, skilled, and committed staff and volunteers across the country, the DMS implements its mandate through an integrated holistic approach to save lives, minimize human suffering, and to reduce losses and damages.
Apart from emergency and disaster situations, DMS has a significant role to build the capacity of communities to minimize the risks, and to immediately cope and recover after the impact of disasters.It's main objective is to implement appropriate humanitarian interventions to empower and capacitate the most vulnerable in reducing their disaster risks, and to deliver services enabling communities to prepare for, respond to, cope with, and recover from the impacts brought by both natural hazards and human-induced emergencies.
