Description of the Various Hazards Affecting the Community And Their Effects On
Lives and Properties.
The Philippines is battered by some 20 typhoons a year- events that might get more severe
with climate change. The province of Zambales is located in an area that has been struck by
a number of exhaustible typhoons, floods, fire, forest fire, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and
all other natural disaster. Particularly, barangay San Juan is one of those localities which are
situated in low lying area.
One of the few storms that hit the barangay is the typhoon Kiko which brought heavy rainfall
that trigger the flash flooding in the nearby barangayand damaged some part of the dike that
serves as the protecting shield of the municipality of Botolan.This typhoon surged down
mountain sides, uprooted trees and swelling trees which brought threat to the safety of the
residents. Likely, it overturned vehicles, debris and animal carcasses. It affected more than
600 families living in the barangay proper. This brought them to evacuate in the temporary
evacuation area which is located at Tarlac Road. Almost 50 houses shanty or made of bricks
were taken away by the floods including the PR Gaz building and its facilities located at
SitioTumangan of the barangay. Huge damaged on agricultural areas such as rice fields and
vegetable farms were devastated, even animals and cattle’s including pasture and greasing
areas were turmoil by the flood. Roads were not passable because of barred trunks of trees in
the street. All means of living of the residents were paralyzed. Everybody was stuck at home
and facilitating their own families. Streetlights and electric transformers were damaged. There
has been scarcity of foods and medicines during evacuation. Worst scenarios were
experienced by everyone during this calamity.
FLOOD
Floods and flash floods can happen everywhere and anywhere. This is the water that
submerges land which is usually dry. It may occur due to an accumulation of rainwater on
saturated grounds in an aerial flood.
Floods can also occur in rivers and creeks when the flow rate exceeds the capacity of the
river channel. It oftencauses damages to homes, businesses and lives. Barangay San Juan
had its Pangamten Creek, Tutunlanum Creek and BucaoRiverwhich is the main catch basin
of all water ways.It also occurs during non-stop heavy rains.
Early warning signs of floods are the intense rainfall, dam or levee failure as well as slow
moving tropical storms. Residents rely on the old belief that if the ants are massively looking
and gathering foods, there might be a possible flood. The typhoon is also one of the sign of
flood.
Floods can be triggered by different natural phenomena. Sometime prolonged rainfall,
torrential rains or stormscause flooding situation. Similarly, lack of permeable surface and
high ground water table can also trigger floods. Lack of human discipline is also one of the
factors, irresponsible garbage disposal dumping it to the waterways which blocks the flow of
water, silted and clogged canals and creeks. Residents living in risk areas were advised to
always be prepared before the occurrence of flood.

Evacuation Management
This is very important to the contingency planning. The main objective of evacuation
management is to settle and organized properly the area, ensure that the basic necessities
are being provided and well attended by the authorities. The temporary evacuation site must
be prepared at all times not just only in times of disaster. It should be safe from the effect of
natural phenomena. The site must be an area with open and wide space and can
accommodate large number of evacuees. This will serve as temporary shelter to the victims.
In Barangay San Juan, the Tarlac Road is identified as the temporary evacuation site. The
barangay had already established its permanent resettlement area at the mountain of
SitioAlao, Purok 6. Currently, the farm lot of the site is being planted and developed through
Barangay Forest Program of the DENR.
There is a need to install an access road to the site. The BDRRMC is in need of heavy
equipment to flatten the road. It was already requested by the barangay from the provincial
government to provide aid such as bulldozers, dumptruck and operators. This request did not
materialize the past years but the barangay is still hoping that in due time it will be given
attention by the authorities.
EVACUATION MANAGEMENT
The needs for temporary shelter during evacuation is needed. The BDRRMC will request from
the LGU an assistance for an equipment such as bulldozer to flatter the temporary site for
evacuation. The barangay will shoulder the fuel and snacks of the operator. The SitioAlao
resettlement area needs further development. At present, still no access road was being
established. The barangay had a limited budget and there is a need for an assistance in
establishing a road and developing the area.
