What’s New
A community is a group of individuals living in the same place with a specific
characteristic in common. Communities, government institutions and community based
organizations are strengthened to contribute to local agenda for building resilient
communities. Community preparedness refers to community-wide initiatives to provide
people with the training, education and services they need to plan ahead of time at individual
and collective levels against the danger of a potential local disaster. Hence, communitybased practices for managing disaster risk is necessary to become prepared, responsive and
resilient.
Activity 1
Direction: List the different disaster risk reduction community-based practices in your own
barangay that you have participated in the past years and write the corresponding purpose
of each.

What is It
The following suggested steps have known to be the best practices in the household
and in the community. These steps are based from the suggestions from Family Disaster
Plan (http://www.disastercenter.com/guide/family.htm).
Basic steps to make sure you remain safe:
1. Meet with your family or household members.
2. Discuss how to prepare and respond to emergencies that are most likely to happen.
3. Identify responsibilities for each member and plan to work together as a team.
The following steps to take in case you are separated during emergency:

Practices
Know the emergency evacuation plan and prepare
survival kit.
Be familiar with the dangerous spot inside offices,
buildings, houses, or rooms.
Be careful with things which may harm people during
earthquake. It is better to fix as early as possible like
faulty electrical wiring, leaky gas connection, movable
glass tables, cabinets and shelves.
Identify safe places indoors and outdoors.
Educate everyone about emergency contacts.
Prepare stocks of emergency supplies like foods, water,
medicines, flashlights and more. Survival kit is a must.
Make an evacuation and reunion plan. Ensure that
everyone will see each other after the earthquake, agree
a meeting place after the disaster and make it known to
every family member.
During the earthquake execute duck, cover and hold.
Take cover under sturdy table or piece of furniture for
protection from falling objects.
Hold that position and stay wherever you are until the
shaking stops and you cannot anymore feel the ground
movement.
Do not immediately proceed to the door, some doors will
swing which can even cause injury.
Then go out of the building as you feel safe to do so.
Once the earthquake is over, listen to the batteryoperated radio or television for updates of aftershock.
Stay away from damaged area.
Stay away from the beach if living in a coastal area
Be aware of possible tsunamis
Landslides are also possible for mountainous areas as
well as the ground rapture for areas along active fault
lines which cause the ground break
If outsiders, move away from building and strengths.
Immediately proceed to open area.
Once in the open, stay there and do not go near building
and tall infrastructure to avoid falling debris
If in a moving vehicle, stop as quickly as safety permits.
Avoid stopping near buildings, overpasses, bridges, or
ramps which might have been damaged during
earthquake.
If you are on a sidewalk near building, duck into a
doorway to protect yourself from falling breaks, glass,
plaster, and other debris.
If you are in a crowded store or other public place, do not
rush to exits. Move away from display shelves containing
objects that might fall.
If trapped under debris, cover your mouth with
handkerchief.

B. Fire Drill
Fire becomes disaster when it goes out of control and spreads fast, threatening
human life, homes, and other structures.
Figure 2. Fire Drill of Gusa NHS - FS Catanico Annex
The table below discusses fire situations and their safety, planning and preparedness
practices.
Situation
Before
Practices
- Know the emergency evacuation plan and prepare the
survival kit.
- In an orderly manner, exit the building, staying low to
avoid smoke inhalation.
-
If the fire alarm has been activated, pull the closest fire
alarm when exiting the building.
-
Familiarized yourself the layout of the building. Escape
routes are posted throughout buildings in areas easily
accessible to everyone.
-
If you are the last to exit a classroom or office close the
door, reducing the fire’s spread and damage.
-
After exiting, meet in designated areas to be counted for.
Under no circumstances should you re-enter a burning
building.
During and After the Fire
C. Tropical Cyclones, Flash Flood and Storm Surge
Tropical cyclones are giant whirlwinds, which are locally known as bagyo. Rainfall
associated with a tropical cyclone can be intense over a long period of time.
Floods occur when bodies of water such as streams and rivers overflow their natural
borders and inundate the surrounding areas such as plains or low-lying areas.
A flood that rises and falls quite rapidly with little or no advanced warning, usually as
a result of intense rainfall over a relatively small area are called flash floods. Often, there is
a short interval between rainfall and the occurrence of the flood, which makes a flash flood
particularly dangerous.
5
Storm surge is the rise in sea level or the piling up of seawater that sweeps inland
due to increase in wind velocity and decrease in atmospheric pressure during a tropical
cyclone. Storm surge happens when a tropical cyclone nears the coastal area where the
shallow slope off the coast will allow a greater surge to inundate coastal communities.
The table below discusses storm surge situations and their safety, planning and
preparedness practices.
Situation
Practices
- Know the emergency evacuation plan and prepare the
survival kit.
-
Listen to the early warnings like PAG-ASA forecast and
warnings and local community warnings.
-
Get the household members ready anytime in case of flash
flood.
-
Listen to the evacuation and preventive measures of the
local or barangay DRRM like an early evacuation notice.
-
Evacuate while roads and bridges are passable en route to
the evacuation area
-
Bring pets and farm animals to higher and safe ground.
-
Coordinate with the DRRM office for instruction.
-
Turn off the main electricity switch and the LPG tank, and
lock the doors.
-
Always find a secured and elevated place.
-
Keep away from flooded areas especially if you are not sure
how deep the floodwater is.
-
Keep children away from playing in floodwater.
-
Make sure that the area is safe before leaving the
evacuation center.
-
Repair the damaged parts of the house.
-
Make sure that electrical lines and outlets are safe before
using them again.
-
Help in the repair of damaged facilities in the community
such us school, water pipes, etc.
-
Make sure your food is properly cooked and water is boiled
for drinking.

D. Epidemic / Pandemic
An epidemic is a rapid and significant increase in normal number of cases of an
infectious disease and spreading from person to person in a locality where the disease is not
permanently prevalent. The most common epidemics in the Philippines are measles, malaria,
dengue, cholera and lately the COVID-19. On the other hand, pandemic is an epidemic
disease that has spread over a large area that is prevalent in the whole country, continent or
the whole world.
The table below discusses epidemic situations and their safety, planning and
preparedness practices.

sanitation and disinfecting procedures.
Follow the government mandates on health and safety
protocols.
Staying at home is the best remedy.
Follow the government mandates and guidelines on the
post minimum health standard practices.
E. Clean-Up Drive
A clean-up drive is an activity to raise environmental awareness and strengthen
collaboration among members of the community. The main purpose is to help each part of
the community stay in a clean surrounding that is beneficial to the residents. Usually the
clean-up drive is initiated by the barangay officials, school personnel, or an organization.
Clean-up drive has many benefits like prevention of climate change, promote waste
reduction, unclogging of drainage as prevention for flash floods, and other related geological
hazards and meteorological hazards.
Figure 3. School initiated community clean-up drive and coastal/river clean-up drive
F. Seminar- Workshop on DRRM, First Aid Seminar and Awareness Campaign
Symposia
Awareness campaigns and seminars on DRRM is widespread in all government and
non-government agencies as mandated in the law, RA 10121. Local communities have
different awareness campaigns to battle disasters and crisis. More so, all schools are
integrating DRRM in the lesson, symposia, and drills are all part of advocacy to make the
people informed and involved thus, minimizing the impacts of disasters to the lives and
properties.

What’s New
Community-based preparedness and planning allows the people to manage
potential hazards following a disaster event. Communities can plan to work together to reduce
injury, death and property damage. Community preparedness can improve the ability of
individuals and groups to reduce the effects of the hazard impact and manage resources until
assistance is available.
The community preparedness plan is governed by four (4) key phases:
1. Mitigation – measures taken in advance of a hazard impact to reduce or eliminate risk to
society and environment. System and policies are being implemented to deter,
detect, deny and defuse hazards or threats.
2. Preparedness – course of action of each kind of emergency outlined, and conduct drills /
dry-run to enhance emergency response during and after the disaster.
3. Response – plan of steps to take during crisis are put into effect and directed towards saving
life, protecting property, and dealing with the immediate damage caused by the
disaster.
4. Rehabilitation – deals on restoration of affected communities / areas to proper or normal
level of functioning and development with reduced vulnerability and increased
sustainability.
What is It
Community preparedness plan are activities designed to avoid or minimized loss of life
and damage of property as well as activities to organize and facilitate timely and effective
rescue, relief and rehabilitation operation in the aftermath of disastrous event.
The following are the basic parts of the Community Preparedness Plan:
1. Organization of Barangay DRRMC or Barangay Development Council (BDC) and
with participation of local stakeholders
2. Establishment of alerting and communication system
3. Detailed courses of action for each kind of crisis or disaster
4. Detailed community evacuation map
5. Information dissemination and advocacy
11
What’s More
Activity 1
Direction: Visit or ask the list of members of your Barangay Development Council (BDC)
including the list of volunteers and stakeholders.
The Barangay Development Council (BDC) with the help of the stakeholders and volunteers
create an incident management structure that provides a comprehensive organizational
framework designed for foreseeable types of crisis or disaster. The BDC will organize each
team to handle specific emergency situation. Each team will formulate preparedness plan for
each emergency situation, specifying course of action to be taken in case of emergencies like
the following:
1. Emergency alerting system,
2. Fire,
3. Earthquake,
4. Typhoon, storm, and flood,
5. Bomb Threat, Robbery and
6. Strike
In common situation, a barangay has only one team to handle disaster and emergency
events. In this case, the team are already trained to handle wide array of emergency situations.

What’s More
Find out what you should do in case a disaster strikes.
The BDC or Barangay DRRM may be able to provide you the evacuation and
information about local warnings and emergency plan. If you cannot get all the
information you need from the officials, research local hazards on your own. Figure out,
for example, what preparations you should make during earthquake and how to survive.
(Source: CDRRMC, Cagayan de Oro City)
Your knowledge about your community evacuation plan is very important during
disaster. The following steps are helpful;
1. Decide what route you would like to take to be in the evacuation center the soonest
and the safest way. You may also choose to stay in a safe hotel/motel, in your
relatives or in your safe neighborhood.
2. Practice evacuating from your home twice a year. Drive your plan evacuation route
and plot alternate routes on your map in case roads are impassable.
3. Quarterly practice/drill for family.
Activity 3
Direction: Draw a map of your community and make an evacuation plan. Compare your plan
to the one made by your the Barangay DRRMC. Cite the differences and similarities between
the two maps.

What I Can Do
Fire is one of the disasters that might occur in your community. Although a fire disaster
need not necessarily reach catastrophic proportions, it will present some of the characteristic
aspects of a disaster because of the highly destructive action or fire and of considerable
number of victims. One factor that makes fire disasters dramatic is panic. This is due to the
realization that fire can kill within few moments, cause of injuries, permanent disfigurement,
and inexorably destroy everything in the vicinity. Below is an example of a plan of procedures
during the fire incident.
What to do when a fire breaks out:
1. Immediately hit the fire alarm. Execute basic steps to stop fire if you are capable.
2. Exit the building by staying low to avoid smoke inhalation. It takes just two (2)
minutes for your house to be filled with toxic fumes from a fire. These fumes are
deadly when inhaled, and may have long-term effects in your body. Majority of
deaths from fire are caused by suffocation rather than the fire itself.
3. Don’t panic. A well-rehearsed emergency exit plan will greatly alleviate the panic
you may feel during the fire.
3 Try to close the door of the burning room and close all doors behind you as you
leave. This will help delay the fire and smoke.
4. Before you open a door, feel it with the back of your hand to determine if the room
behind it is burning.
5. Fumes and hot air usually settle at the ceiling. When the smoke is dense, the best
air that you can breathe is usually one to two feet from the floor. Crawl to the exit
with a wet piece of cloth to cover your mouth.
6. Fire spreads at a very fast rate, doubling its volume every thirty seconds. Get
everyone out first. Have a bug-out pack with all your essentials. Saving your
possessions may weigh you down and get you trapped.
7. Never go back to your house unless a fire fighter declares it is safe to do so. You
could run into a potential roof collapse, stumble on live wires, or could trigger a
dreaded backdraft*
8. Proceed to the evacuation center or to the safe place of your choice.
15
Activity 5
Direction: Develop a plan consisting of procedures before, during and after an earthquake.
Other learner’s may also choose to develop a plan on flood, typhoon, storm, bomb threat, or
