III. LESSON OVERVIEW:

Disaster preparedness and response requires a sound understanding of preparedness, response, and
recovery needs and approaches. At the same time, these critical activities and approaches are heavily
influenced by factors that are impacted by many contextual factors that determine both the scope and nature
of preparedness and response. As the current situation in our country, we are experiencing both of the wrath
caused by El Nino and La Nina as Philippines is situated in the “Pacific Ring of Fire”. Several of these factors
are explored. This module focuses on the implementation of disaster awareness, preparedness and
management.

IV. DESIRED LEARNING OUTCOMES:

At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:

a. comprehend disaster through the classification of natural or man-made calamities being

suffered in the world;
b. analyze the Philippines geography and disaster risk management through a home-based
plan for El Niňo and La Niňa disasters; and
c. realize important information about Disaster Awareness, Preparedness and Management.

V. LESSON CONTENT:

1. GEOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF THE PHILIPPINES

Location:
The Philippines comprises an archipelago of some 7,107 islands located off Southeast Asia,
between the South China Sea on the west and the Philippine Sea on the east. The major islands are
Luzon in the north, the Visayan Islands in the middle, and Mindanao in the south.

Size:
The total area is about 300,000 square
kilometers, including about 298,000 square
kilometers of land and about 2,000 square kilometers
of water. The Philippines stretches about 1,850
kilometers from Y’Ami Island in the north to Sibutu
Island in the south and is about 1,000 kilometers at
its widest point east to west. The bulk of the
population lives on 11 of the 7,107 islands.

Land Boundaries:
The Philippines has no land boundaries. Nearby
neighbors are Taiwan to the north, Malaysia and
Indonesia to the south, Vietnam to the west, and
China to the northwest.

Disputed Territory:
The Philippines, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, and
Vietnam hold conflicting claims to portions of the
South China Sea and the Spratly Islands, which are
called the Kalayaan (Freedom) Islands in the
Philippines. The Philippines also disputes Malaysia’s
claim to the state of Sabah.

Length of Coastline:
Estimates of the total length of the coastline range from 17,500 kilometers (official Philippine figure)
to 36,289 kilometers (U.S. figure).

Maritime Claims:
The Philippines claims a territorial sea of up to 100 nautical miles from the nearest coastline, an
area that includes the entire Sulu Sea and the northern part of the Celebes Sea. A presidential decree
in 1978 announced additional baselines, which in effect extended the territorial sea to claim an area
up to 285 nautical miles in breadth in the South China Sea west of Palawan Island. This area
encompasses the Spratly Islands. The Philippines also claims its continental shelf to the depth of
exploitation and an exclusive economic zone of 200 nautical miles from its baselines.

Topography:
The Philippines consists of volcanic islands, including active volcanoes, with mostly mountainous
interiors surrounded by flat lowlands and alluvial plains of varying widths along the coasts. The
elevation ranges from sea level to the highest point of Mount Apo on Mindanao Island, at 2,954 meters
above sea level.

Principal Rivers:
The longest river is the Cagayan (Río Grande de Cagayan) on Luzon, about 350 kilometers in
length. Other principal rivers on Luzon include the Abra, Bicol, Chico, and Pampanga. The Pasig River
is only about 25 kilometers in length but serves as the main waterway, flowing between Laguna de
Bay, the largest freshwater lake in the Philippines, through metropolitan Manila to Manila Bay. Principal
rivers on Mindanao include the Mindanao River (known as the Pulangi River in its upper reaches), and
the Agusan. The St. Paul River on Palawan is an eight-kilometer-long underground river.

Climate:
The Philippines has a tropical marine climate, with the northeast monsoon, which produces a cool,
dry season from December to February, and the southwest monsoon, which brings rain and high

temperatures from May to October. Between March and May, hot, dry weather prevails. Temperatures
in Manila range from 212 C to 3 C, with an average annual temperature of 27 C. Temperatures
elsewhere in the Philippines have been recorded at more than 37 C. The average monthly humidity
ranges from 71 percent in March to 85 percent in September. Annual rainfall is heavy but varies widely
throughout the Philippines, ranging from 965 millimeters in some sheltered valleys and the southern
tip of the island of Mindanao to 5,000 millimeters along the mountainous east coasts of the islands of
Luzon, Samar, and the northern tip of Mindanao. The Philippines lies astride the typhoon belt and
experiences 15 to 20 typhoons a year from July through October, of which five or six may cause
serious destruction and death.

Natural Resources:
The major natural mineral resources include coal, cobalt, copper, chromite, gold, gypsum, iron,
natural gas, nickel, petroleum, salt, silver, and sulfur. There are lesser deposits of bauxite, lead,
mercury, molybdenum, and zinc. Other important resources are geothermal and hydroelectric power,
fish, and timber.

Land Use:
Out of a total land area of about 300,000 square kilometers, about 92,000 square kilometers are
farmland, and about 72,000 square kilometers are forest land, including 65,000 square kilometers of
public land and 7,000 square kilometers of privately owned land. Forest area fell steadily from 270,000
square kilometers in 1900 to 80,000 square kilometers in 1970 and to 54,000 square kilometers in
1985. Although forest area subsequently grew from its low in 1985 to its current level in 2004,
deforestation is still a major problem. According to the agricultural census of 2002, the number of farms
decreased from 4.6 million in 1991 to 4.5 million in 2002, and farm area declined during the same
period, from about 100,000 square kilometers in 1991 to its current level.

Environmental Factors:
The Philippines is prone to natural disasters, particularly typhoons, floods, landslides, volcanic
eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis, lying as it does astride the typhoon belt, in the active volcanic
region known as the “Pacific Ring of Fire,” and in the geologically unstable region between the Pacific
and Eurasian tectonic plates. The Philippines also suffers major human-caused environmental
degradation aggravated by a high annual population growth rate, including loss of agricultural lands,
deforestation, soil erosion, air and water pollution, improper disposal of solid and toxic wastes, loss of
coral reefs, mismanagement and abuse of coastal resources, and overfishing.

Time Zone:
The Philippines is in one-time zone (Asia/Manila), 8 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time.

The Philippines is famous for idyllic beaches, friendly locals, and breathtaking natural beauty.
However, due to its location, it’s also a country that can be affected by natural disasters. The most
common natural disasters in the Philippines are:

▪ Typhoons and violent storms

▪ Volcanic eruptions
▪ Earthquakes
▪ Flooding and landslides.

NATURAL DISASTER INFORMATION AND SAFETY ADVICE FOR TRAVELERS

Planning ahead is paramount: avoiding typhoon season and learning about safety advice for the
Philippines is just as important as applying for your Philippine visa and booking your flights prior to
departure. Foreigners should keep in mind these events when deciding the time to travel to the
Philippines and their itinerary.

In case you find yourself in an extreme weather event, there are plenty of measures you can take to
stay safe.

The Most Common Natural Disasters in the Philippines

The Philippines is located in an area affected by natural disasters called the Ring of Fire or
Typhoon Belt. This is a Pacific Ocean region that experiences a great number of volcanic eruptions
and earthquakes.
The most dangerous natural events to be aware of while traveling to the Philippines are:

a. Typhoons. Every year, 19 typhoons enter the Philippine region and about 7 or 8 make landfall.
In the past, some have been extraordinarily powerful and caused casualties and the collapse
of infrastructures in the affected areas

b. Volcanic eruptions. There are currently 23 active volcanoes in the Philippines. Although they
provide an extraordinary spectacle and tourists consider them a unique opportunity for
photography, hiking, and other outdoor activities, active volcanoes are extremely
dangerous. They can erupt without warning and produce sudden steam and ash explosions

c. Earthquakes. The Philippines is considered an earthquake zone, where more than 30

earthquakes can take place in just one year. The strongest earthquakes in the Philippines was
registered in 1976 with a 7.9 magnitude

d. Secondary effects. The high frequency of earthquakes and typhoons also results in a number
of secondary events to watch out for like flooding and landslides.

Philippines Safety Advice: The Philippine Typhoon Season

▪ Since typhoons are a real risk for the safety of locals and tourists, avoiding the typhoon
season is an important part of planning your time in the Philippines, just like getting a
Philippine visa and arranging your accommodation.

▪ Typhoon season falls between June and November. During this time, rains and
thunderstorms can occur randomly and are very difficult to predict.

▪ Even when a typhoon is not expected to hit the area you’re visiting directly, you may still
be affected by monsoonal rains, thunderstorms, and landslides resulting in the roads
being cut and low-lying cities like Manila being at risk of flooding.

▪ Local buses can operate between landslides, but most tourists will have difficulties driving
a private car in the Philippines during typhoon season.

Please note that typhoons and storms can occasionally hit outside typhoon season.

What to do in Extreme Weather Conditions in the Philippines

▪ Being aware of typhoons is paramount while in the Philippines. Above all, this
means keeping up to date with the weather forecast.

▪ Tourists should be informed if a typhoon is expected. In that case, they need to find out
where it’s likely to hit and with what severity. There are several online channels that offer
live updates, including the Philippines State Weather Agency website and relevant
hashtags on Twitter. TV and radio broadcasts will also issue several typhoon warnings
between 48-24 hours prior to the natural event.

If you are traveling to the Philippines, there are ways to stay safe during a typhoon or
earthquake:

▪ Keep your radio or other communication devices on and listen to instructions carefully.
▪ Do not use your phone to make calls unless it’s an emergency. The channels are likely to be
very busy and the local authorities and emergency services need free lines to provide
assistance.
▪ Stay indoor as flying objects are a great danger during heavy storms and typhoons. Avoid
buildings with glass panes.
▪ Stay away from coasts and riverbanks.
▪ Evacuate to higher grounds in case you are in a low-lying area. Your hotel should have an
evacuation plan in place. If not, follow the locals.
▪ Familiarize yourself with the building or refuge you’re in — know where the nearest exits,
first-aid kits, flashlights, and water are. Stay away from breakable, chemical, and flammable
items.
▪ Do not use the elevator and choose the stairs instead.

2. DEFINITION AND RELATED TERMS

Here are the terminologies often used in disaster response and rescue operations:
▪ CALAMITY – refers to a situation that is associated with catastrophic events where a number
of persons are plunged with hardship and suffering that are caused by problems like shortage

3. NSTP AND DISASTER AWARENESS, PREPAREDNESS AND MANAGEMENT

The Philippines is located in the circumpacific belt of fire and typhoon. This being so, the country
has always been subjected to natural disaster and calamities anytime of the year. In whatever part of the
country, we have been experiencing yearly natural calamities – floods, typhoons, tornadoes, earthquakes,
drought, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions which have brought incessant miseries to our people, loss of
lives and properties.
In the mid-seventies and eighties, strong typhoons and torrential rains brought devastation to
Manila and large areas of central Luzon. The 1990 killer earthquake that hit several Luzon provinces as
well as Metro Manila and the effects of the 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption had put the National Disaster
Coordinating Council (NDCC) in the forefront.
To enhance the people’s preparedness and ensure precision and spontaneity in responding to
emergencies or catastrophes, the NDCC, together with the concerned agencies conduct regular

mobilization exercises and drills at all levels with the participation of the private agencies concerned and
the non-government organization.

IMPLEMENTING RULES AND REGULATIONS OF REPUBLIC ACT No. 10121, ALSO KNOWN AS "AN
ACT STRENGTHENING THE PHILIPPINE DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM, PROVIDING FOR THE NATIONAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT
FRAMEWORK AND INSTITUTIONALIZING THE NATIONAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND
MANAGEMENT PLAN, APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES"

RULE 10 - INTEGRATION OF DISASTER RISK REDUCTION EDUCATION INTO THE SCHOOL

CURRICULA AND SANGGUNIANG KABATAAN (SK) PROGRAM AND MANDATORY TRAINING FOR
THE PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYEES

Section 1. Integration into the school curricula - The DepED, the CHED, the Technical Education and
Skills Development Authority (TESDA), in coordination with the OCD, the National Youth Commission
(NYC), the DOST, the DENR, the DILG-BFP, the DOH, the DSWD and other relevant agencies, shall
integrate disaster risk reduction and management education in the school curricula of secondary and
tertiary level of education, including the National Service Training Program (NSTP), whether private or
public, including formal and non-formal, technical-vocational, indigenous learning, and out-of-school youth
courses and programs.

4. DISASTER EQUATION AND THE DISASTER MANAGEMENT CYCLE

Disaster is characterized by several elements namely hazards, risk, people or community and
vulnerability. Hazards (H) or the physical impact of the disturbance, either man-made or natural, is
heightened by the amount of risk (R) to the people and the community. Moreover, the degree of the
vulnerability (V) of all the involved further fuels the magnitude of a disaster. This is presented in the
Disaster Equation as shown below:
H x R + V = DISASTERS

The concept of disaster risk

management accepts that some
hazard events may occur but tries to
lessen the impact by improving the
community's ability to absorb the
impact with minimum damage or
destruction. The Disaster Management
Cycle is a traditional approach to
disaster management wherein disaster
measure is regarded as a number of
phased sequences of action or a
continuum. It aims to reduce the
vulnerabilities in the community. In
addition, when sustained over long
term, it reduces unacceptable risk to
acceptable levels and makes a
community become disaster resistant or resilient. This is represented as a cycle. This is illustrated below:

The comprehensive risk management process has the potential to break the cycle of damage and
reconstruction when a community is subjected to repeated natural hazards. It refers to a range of policies,
legislative mandates, professional practices, social, structural and non-structural adjustments and risk transfer
mechanisms to prevent, reduce or minimize the effects of hazards on a community. To be effective, a strategy
must be in place and ready for immediate implementation when necessary. This can only be done through
advance preparation and planning. The following are risk management measures:
▪ Engineering measures (keep hazard away from people)
▪ Land use planning and management measures (keep people away from hazard)
▪ Control and protection works (modifying the hazard)
▪ Early warning (predicting hazard)
▪ Preparedness planning (prepare in anticipation of a hazard event)
▪ Reconstruction planning after a disaster with the aim of reducing the vulnerability
▪ Mainstreaming risk management in development practice and institutionalization

5. NDRRM PLAN

NATIONAL DISASTER COORDINATING COUNCIL (NDCC) AND ITS OPERATING POLICIES

Since the DND and the AFP possess the capability to react to natural calamities with the DND‟s unique
nature of organization and network of troops and asset disposition, an inter-agency plan headed by the
DND was organized specifically to put into realization an action oriented Civil Defense Plan with the
creation of the National Disaster Coordinating Council.

In the year 1989, the NDCC, by virtue of Memorandum Order Number 4 has issued some functional
policies and procedures intended to assist the victims of calamities and alleviate their plight.

Upon the declaration of a state calamity by the President, priority assistance is instantly extended to
victims in terms of relief operations, medical assistance, immediate repair of vital infrastructures which
were damaged by natural disasters and resettlement of calamity victims. Calamity funds are released
directly to the implementing departments and agencies. Funds released to the Department of Social
Welfare and Development are used for emergency relief and rehabilitation assistance to affected areas
and disaster victims. Funds released to the Department of Health are used in the procurement of needed
medicines and for medical assistance to disaster victims.

The NDCC is composed of the following:

a. Department of National Defense (lead agency) i. Department of Trade and Industries

b. Department of Public Works and Highways j. Department of Interior and Local Government
c. Department of Transportation and Communication k. Department of Public Information
d. Department of Social Welfare and Development l. Department of Budget and Management
e. Department of Education m. Chief of Staff, AFP
f. Department of Finance n. Secretary General, Philippine National Red
g. Department of Labor and Employment Cross
h. Department of Justice o. Civil Defense Office

KEY PLAYERS IN DISASTER MANAGEMENT

Disaster risk management includes administrative

decisions and operational activities that involve:
▪ Prevention
▪ Mitigation
▪ Preparedness
▪ Response
▪ Recovery
▪ Rehabilitation
It involves all levels of government – decision makers and
local government. Non-government and community-
based organizations plays a vital role in the process.
Meanwhile, communities themselves are the first
responders.

ROLE OF GOVERNMENT AGENCIES

In times of natural calamities or manmade disorders, the youth should be willing and ready to
render direct assistance to calamity victims in any of the following areas:

a. Sorting, loading and distribution of relief

goods
b. Administering first aid treatment on victims
c. Comforting and assisting in their
rehabilitation
d. Disseminating information to concerned
individual
e. Surveying of affected families and areas
f. Monitoring and liasoning work
g. Civic action activities like environmental
and ecological protection, river and
watershed control projects and tree
planting/forest fire control

Likewise, the concerned youth development agencies should establish coordination and linkages
to be set up before, during and after every disaster. By using the NDCC operational model, the leadership
in the youth development agencies, in order to succeed in their chosen endeavor should:

a. Plan the chosen activities ahead before any calamity strikes. Join or participate in training
exercise on disaster and relief operations.
b. See to it that the resources that are available could meet the needs of chosen activities.
c. Coordinate all activities properly with the City, Provincial and Municipal Disaster
Coordinator Councils.
d. Organize the groups. Assign the members‟ responsibilities which they feel they can properly
handle. Confidence in what is one is doing is the key to success.
e. Work as a team. Coordinate efforts with other organizations (NGO, PO, LGU or religious
organizations)

BARANGAY AS NUCLEUS OF COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE AND DISASTER PREPAREDNESS

The Philippines has a unique local governance system of Barangay. It has a primary function of planning
and implementing government policies, plans, programs, projects and activities in the community. Local
people are the source of knowledge about their community so that solutions can address what is really
needed and wanted.
