Section 10
SEC. 10. Funding. - The LGUs shall include anticipatory action measures in their regular Programs, Plans, and Activities (PPAs) lodged under their respective Local DRRM Funds, as reflected in their Local DRRM Plans. The unexpended fund from the Local DRRM Fund accruing to the Special Trust Fund may also be used for such anticipatory action measures, in addition to the purposes provided under Section 21 of Republic Act No. 10121 or the "Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010". Further, LGUs may obtain funds from other sources to fulfill the objectives of this Act, subject to pertinent accounting and auditing laws and regulations. The disbursement of funds shall be graduated and proportionate to the forecasted severity, lead time, and anticipated extent of damage as determined in the pre-disaster risk assessment. The graduation of allowable disbursements for each level of forecasted hazard and risk shall be defined in the implementing rules and regulations (IRR), taking into account scientific forecasts, operational feasibility, and the need to balance responsiveness with fiscal prudence. The graduation of disbursement shall not apply to other funding sources that may be lawfully utilized for anticipatory action, including agency budgets, external grants or donations, or other sources authorized by law. All relevant national government agencies shall ensure that anticipatory action measures are included in their regular agency PPAs to be funded by their regular agency budgets as Anticipatory Action Funds and properly included in the General Appropriations Act. The National DRRM Fund may also be used to fund anticipatory action programs. Identified funds shall be disbursed immediately for this purpose and may be used until the lifting of the Declaration of a State of Imminent Disaster.
