The annual search Gawad Kalasag aims to recognize outstanding performance of local disaster councils, civil society organizations, schools, hospitals and other major stakeholders in promoting and implementing significant DRRM and Climate Change Adaptation programs and innovation.

Kalasag is a Filipino term for shield used by Filipinos as means of protection from attack of enemies or harmful animals. Relatively, Gawad KALASAG KAlamidad at Sakuna LAbanan, SAriling Galing ang Kaligtasan) was conceived to encourage participation from various stakeholders in crafting and implementing DRRM program aimed in protecting or shielding high risk communities against hazards.

Since 1998, the Gawad KALASAG has been conferred by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) to different organizations, individuals, and groups as recognition to those who have shown excellent practices in Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM). But not limiting itself to the any sector, the Gawad KALASAG is also bequeathed to communities, LGUs, schools and other stakeholders for their best customs in DRRM.

All regional entries are required to submit relevant evidential documents in chronological order in accordance with the standard checklist provided by the GK search committee. A table top evaluation of all entries was conducted last March 24 with entries passing the minimum average of 80 by the Regional Selection Committee.

A field validation was also conducted by the selection committee last March 26 validated thru an ocular visit and interview. Entries who qualified and passed the two evaluations are then presented to the selection board and are forwarded to the National Selection Committee as the Regional Entries for the Gawad Kalasag 2014.
