A SAFETY PREPAREDNESS AND SECURITY. SAFETY PREPAREDNESS AND SECURITY Learning Objectives: At the end of this chapter, the learner must be able to: 1. examine the difference between safety preparedness and security; 2. implement to ensure safety preparedness and security; and 3. exercise safety preparedness and safety measures in a real life emergency situations. SAFETY PREPAREDNESS AND SECURITY Schroder et al., [2016] SAFETY . is the measure & safety of preserving life, health, & bodily integrity of an individual. [sauf, French word for safe] SAFETY . involves achieving the acceptable level of risk. SAFETY . is essential for environmental work to improve productivity because a safe work environment with adequate safeguards that promotes safety from danger or any hazard decreases lost work hours. SAFETY PREPAREDNESS AND SECURITY Schroder et al., [2016] PREPAREDNESS . is a set of actions taken as precautionary measures in potential conflicts and disaster. DISASTER PREPAREDNESS . is the measures of reducing the effects of disasters, predicting & preventing disasters, mitigating the impacts of disasters, on vulnerable populations & responding effectively in coping with consequences. DISASTER PREPAREDNESS . allows for an effective realistic design & coordinated planning to reduce duplication of efforts. DISASTER PREPAREDNESS . is a continuous integrated process that utilizes a wide range of rich reduction measures. SAFETY PREPAREDNESS World Health Organization, [1999] AND SECURITY SAFETY PREPAREDNESS . states that safety preparedness refers to readiness when responding to emergencies. Large-scale emergencies include natural disasters: typhoons, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, & floods. Widespread disease outbreaks: avian flu, African swine flu,& terrorism. TYPHOON. is a type of large storm that has spiral system od violent wind measuring hundreds d kilometers in diameter. The term typhoon is used for storms that occurs in the Northwest Pacific. Hurricane is used in the North Atlantic & Central & North Pacific Regions. SAFETY PREPAREDNESS World Health Organization, [1999] AND SECURITY PREPAREDNESS IN CASE OF TYPHOON . 1. Switch off the circuit breakers/ mains switch 2. Place appliances on higher ground/upper levels of the house. 3. Avoid stepping on flooded floors that are in contact with electrical outlets 4. Don’t use appliances or touch wires that has been immersed in water FLOOD. are natural occurrence in an area of land that is normally dry but is abruptly submerged in water. FLOOD. is an overflow of a large quantities of water on a normally dry land. It happens streams, rivers, lakes & oceans overflows. SAFETY PREPAREDNESS World Health Organization, [1999] AND SECURITY TYPES OF FLOODING . 1. River Flooding occurs when a river or lake exceeds its capacity 2. Coastal Flooding occurs when water overflows seawalls due to heavy storms, a high tide, a tsunami, or a combination of these. 3. Flash Floods happens as a result of heavy rainfall over a specific area in a short time 4. Urban Flooding occurs because of land development in which permeable soil layers are replaced by impermeable paved surfaces, through which water cannot infiltrate. SAFETY PREPAREDNESS World Health Organization, [1999] AND SECURITY PREPAREDNESS IN CASE OF FLOOD . STEP 1: BEFORE THE FLOODING OCCURS 1. KEEP YOURSELF UPDATED ABOUT CHANGES IN THE WEATHER 2. BE READY FOR EVACUATION & IDENTIFY THE DESIGNATED EVACUATION AREA 3. TALK WITH YOUR FAMILY WITH AGREED MEETUP AREA IN CASE ANYONE GET SEPARATED 4. PREPARE AN EMERGENCY KITS THAT INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING: • MEDICINE KIT • TRANSISTOR RADIO OR PORTABLE RADIO • THINGS NEEDED FOR COOKING • FLASHLIGHTS AND BATTERY • BOTTLED WATER • FOOD SAFETY PREPAREDNESS World Health Organization, [1999] AND SECURITY PREPAREDNESS IN CASE OF FLOOD . CONT. STEP 2: WHEN THERE IS WARNING ABOUT FLOOD 1. KEEP YOURSELF UPDATED ABOUT CHANGES IN THE WEATHER 2. OBSERVE THE RISING WATER AT YOUR PLACE, & IF NEEDED, DECIDE TO EVACUATE 3. SECURE VALUABLE ITEMS ON HIGHER GROUND 4. MAKE SURE THAT ALL DOMESTIC PETS & ANIMALS ARE ON HIGHER GROUND 5. TURN OFF THE ELECTRICITY & LOCK THE HOUSE PROPERLY BEFORE EVACUATING STEP 2: DURING THE FLOOD 1. DO NOT GO TO FLOODED AREAS 2. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CROSS A RIVER OR ANYB FLOODWAY WHERE THE WATER IS HIGH 3. MAKE SURE THAT WATER AND FOOD YOU WILL CONSUME ARE CLEAN SAFETY PREPAREDNESS World Health Organization, [1999] AND SECURITY PREPAREDNESS IN CASE OF FLOOD . CONT. STEP 4: AFTER THE FLOOD 1. BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU RETURNING TO OR ENTERING YOUR HOME 2. MAKE SURE YOUR FOOD & WATER ARE CLEAN OR BOILED FOR YOUR SAFETY 3. MAKE SURE THAT YOUR ELECTRIC SYSTEM APPLIANCES ARE FINE BEFORE USING 4. GO TO HEALTH CARE FACILITY OR HOSPITAL TO PROCURE YOUR MEDICINES TO AVOID GETTING DISEASES FROM THE FLOOD. EARTHQUAKE . is a sudden slip along a fault. The tectonic plate constantly move slowly, but they are stuck to their edges due to friction. When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, an earthquake releases energy in waves that travel through earth’s crust & causes great shaking SAFETY PREPAREDNESS AND SECURITY Spence, Sipkin, & Choy, (2020) EARTHQUAKES. release violent energy to the ground caused either by a shift in earth’s crust or a volcanic/magmatic activity. Most earthquakes occur when two sides of a fault slide past each other. The crust may be compressed, pulled apart, moved sideways, or a combination of these. SAFETY PREPAREDNESS Spence, Sipkin, & Choy, (2020) AND SECURITY PREPAREDNESS IN CASE OF EARTHQUAKE . 1. SECURE & REPAIR HOME APPLIANCES & ELECTRICAL OUTLETS TO PREVENT DAMAGE 2. ORGANIZE DISASTER PLAN 3. PREPARE DISASTER KITS 4. REINFORCE YOUR HOUSE 5. DURING EARTHQUAKE, PREPARE TO DROP, COVER, & HOLD 6. AFTER AN EARTHQUAKE, FIND OUT IF SOMEONE IS HURT, OR SOMETHING IS DAMAGED 7. FOLLOW YOR DISASTER PLAN AND WAIT FOR NEWS UPDATE SAFETY PREPAREDNESS AND SECURITY Hickson, (2000) PHIVOLCS, (2015) VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS. are characterized by the discharge of lava & gas that causes large numbers of people to flee the area. It often causes temporary food shortages & volcanic ash landslides called lahar. Glowing Avalanche is the most dangerous volcanic eruption characterized by magma eruption & formation of a hot pyroclastic flow with temperature reaching 1200º F. PYROCLASTIC FLOW. are formed from rock fragments following an eruption. The flow surges down the flank& speeding up to a 100 km/hour. SAFETY PREPAREDNESS Spence, Sipkin, & Choy, (2020) AND SECURITY ASHFALL PREPAREDNESS GUIDE DURING VOLCANIC ERUPTION. 1. LISTEN TO THE RADIO FOR UPDATES FOR IMPENDING ERUPTION OR ASHFALL 2. PREPARE FOR THE EMERGENCY KIT & PLACE IT IN AN ACCESSIBLE AREA. EMERGENCY SUPPLY KIT SHOULD HAVE THE FOLLOWING: • FIRST AID KIT: ALCOHOL, BANDAGES, COTTON, GAUZE, MASK, ADHESIVE PLASTER ETC. • FOOD, BOTTLED WATER, FLASHLIGHTS, RADIO [BATTERY OPERATED], & MATCHES • DUST MASK, GOGGLES, KNIFE, BLANKETS & SPARE CLOTHES, ROPE, PLASTIC WRAPPING FOR SAFEKEEPING OF ELECTRONIC GADGETS. • PERSONAL HYGIENE KIT, WRITING MATERIALS, MONEY, LOCA EMERGENCY CONTACT NO. 3.

USE DUST MASK WHEN CLEANING IN ANY ASHFALL-AFFECTED AREA SAFETY PREPAREDNESS Spence, Sipkin, & Choy, (2020) AND SECURITY SECURITY. is a safety measure taken for protection, & is utilize by group of people responsible for keeping buildings or other safe areas. EMERGENCY SECURITY SITUATION. refers to a civil and/or military uprising, insurrection, war, revolution or other violent disturbance in a particular area. SECURITY PERSONNEL’S ROLE. is to maintain the safety of the public and to keep everyone & their properties secured: security officers need to communicate effectively & efficiently as possible. SAFETY PREPAREDNESS Spence, Sipkin, & Choy, (2020) AND SECURITY NATIONALSECURITY. The 1987 Philippine Constitution orders civilian control over the military & establishes the Philippine president as the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. The PRESIDENT is the head of the National Security Council THE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL. refers the policy-making body & advisory body for the national defense matters. THE DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENSE. is responsible for the national security of the country. SAFETY PREPAREDNESS AND SECURITY Paleri, (2008) The functions of DND. are to defend the country against internal & external threats & through the Philippine National Police maintain law & order.

THE HUMAN SECURITY . it is concerned with human life & dignity; seeking the protection of peoples freedom from fear & want; & focusing on the prevention of hunger, poverty, & disruption of man-made and natural calamities. SAFETY PREPAREDNESS AND SECURITY Paleri, (2008) FOUR CHARACTERISTICS OF HUMAN SECURITY:. 1. IT IS A UNIVERSAL THAT IS RELEVANT TO ALL PEOPLE OF ANY AGE AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC GROUP. 2. IT IS INTERDEPENDENT. 3. IT FOCUSES ON PREVENTION RATHER THAN RESPONSIVE INTERVENTIONS. PREVENTION IS EASIER & LESS COSTLY, & IT HELPS AVOID THE TRAUMA OF A CRISIS & REINFORCES A FEELING OF SECURITY. 4. IT IS PEOPLE-CENTERED. IT IS CONCERNED WITH HOW FREELY PEOPLE CAN EXERCISE THEIR LIFE CHOICES & HOW THEY CAN ACCESS DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT. SAFETY PREPAREDNESS AND SECURITY Learning Outcomes: At the end of this chapter, the learner must be able to: 1. analyze the difference between safety preparedness and security; 2. execute to ensure safety preparednessand security; and 3. apply safety preparedness and safety measures in a real life emergency situations.
