Since governments are unable to handle risk reduction on their own, the trend surrounding DRRM-H shifted from relief and reaction to using a community-based approach (Azad, 2019; Iuchi et al, 2019) — and this includes community organizing (CO). With the advent of DRRM-H initiatives in the Philippines, the need exists to investigate and identify what the best CO practices are, in the context of DRRM-H. The research qualitatively analyzed data in this scoping review, and consistent with PRISMA guidelines. The study used open and axial analysis as its primary qualitative analysis method. With search terms among the search engines, 740 articles were found, but only 12 articles were included. Most of the best CO practices in DRRM-H revolve around “all-inclusivity”. Best CO practices tend to widen its clientele level and population reach and/or require multi-sectoral, multi-population-level stakeholder consultation and analysis as a way of increasing the policy guarantee and program reach.
