In this module you will enumerate what to do before, during, and after earthquake.
Try to Discover
Earthquakes can and will occur when we least expect them. Disaster preparedness is the
key to effective planning and response to these unexpected events. To avoid unnecessary property
damage or death during these natural disasters, precautionary steps should be taken.
Safety Precautions Before, During, and After an Earthquake
BEFORE AN EARTHQUAKE
I. The key to effective disaster prevention is planning:
 Know the earthquake hazards in your area.
 Follow structural design and engineering practices when constructing a
house or building.
 Evaluate the structural soundness of the buildings and houses; strengthen or
retrofit if necessary.
II. Prepare your homes, workplace, or schools:
 Strap or bolt heavy furniture/cabinets to the walls.
 Check the stability of hanging objects like ceiling fans and chandeliers.
 Breakable items, harmful chemicals, and flammable materials should be
stored properly in the lowermost secured shelves.
III. Familiarize yourself with the exit routes.
IV. Know where the fire extinguishers, first aid kits, alarms, and communication
facilities are located. Learn how to use them beforehand.
V. Prepare a handy emergency supply kit with first aid kit, canned food and can
opener, water, clothing, blanket, battery-operated radio, flashlights and extra
batteries.
V. Conduct and participate in regular earthquake drills.

An emergency supply kit could include the following
recommended items:
 first aid kit
 canned food
 water
 clothing
 battery-operated radio
 flashlights
 extra batteries
DURING AN EARTHQUAKE
I. STAY CALM.
II. When you are INSIDE a structurally sound building or home…
STAY THERE! Do the "DUCK, COVER, and HOLD".
 If possible quickly open the door for exit.
 Duck under a sturdy desk or table, and hold on to it, or protect your head with
your arms.
 Stay away from glass windows, shelves, cabinets, and other heavy objects.
 Beware of falling objects. Be alert and keep your eyes open.
III. If you are OUTSIDE... move to an
open area!
 Move away from steep slopes
which may be affected by
landslides.
 If you are near the shore and
feel an earthquake, especially if
it is too strong, move quickly to
higher grounds. Tsunamis might
follow.
IV. If you are in a moving vehicle, STOP and get
out! Do not attempt to cross bridges,
overpasses, or flyovers which may have
been damaged.

When a major earthquake occurs, lives are
lost. The number of people killed or injured will be
reduced if you are prepared, which is why you
should have an earthquake plan in place. You
would be able to easily devise a strategy if you
participate in earthquake drills. The easiest way
to remain safe is to prepare ahead of time, so
come up with a plan and stick to it in the event of
a major natural disaster.

Learning Target
Enumerate what to do before, during and after earthquake and volcanic eruptions (S6ESIVb-2)
Your Lesson for Today
In this module you will enumerate what to do before, during, and after volcanic eruptions.
Try to Discover
Tectonic plate movement has caused much of the world's volcanoes to form in the
Pacific Ring of Fire. The Philippines is situated in this area, where many tectonic plates
collide. With active volcanoes in the Philippines, the country is vulnerable to a variety of
disasters caused by volcanic eruptions and their consequences. Volcanic eruptions have
the potential to cause mass destruction and major environmental damage. Lava destroys
forests and everything in its way, and lahars can cause massive flooding in some areas. All
species, including humans, suffer serious health consequences as a result of this activity.
Volcanic eruptions may be quiet or violent, resulting in dangerous lava flows, toxic gases,
and airborne rocks and ash. Such natural hazards, such as earthquakes, landslides, debris
flows, flash floods, explosions, and tsunamis, are often associated with volcanic eruptions.
If you live near an active or inactive volcano, be ready to act quickly.
Safety Precautions Before, During, and After Volcanic Eruption
BEFORE VOLCANIC ERUPTION



Close windows and doors to
reduce the entry of ash if heavy
ashfall is expected to hit the
community
Bring animals and livestock into
safe shelters.
Prepare evacuation plans and
conduct evacuation drills.


Avoid low places or areas
vulnerable to rock falls, lava
flows, and mudflows.
Prepare for evacuation if a
warning for upcoming
volcanic eruptions or
mudflows is raised.

emergency plans.
Be familiar with the permanent
danger zone of a volcano.
Prepare a survival kit.
Emergency kit includes flashlight, canned foods,
clothes, soap, bottled water, whistle, first aid kit,
tissue/wipes, battery-operated radio, extra batteries,
toothbrush, and toothpaste.
DURING VOLCANIC ERUPTION





Stay alert and awake.
Follow the instructions that go with the
warning. If there is a directive to
evacuate, do so immediately.
Protect their heads and get away from
the area right away if caught in a small
rockfall.
Give priority for evacuation outside the
area of ash shower to persons with
breathing problems. They should be
advised to cover their nose, preferably
with a wet piece of cloth.
Scrape off ashes to prevent heavy
loading of the roofs. When doing
so, the following precautionary
measures should be observed:
- Wear long-sleeved shirts and
long pants;
- Wear goggles and eyeglasses
instead of contact lenses;
- Avoid running car or truck
engines.
Driving a vehicle can stir-up
volcanic ash that can clog
engines, damage moving parts,
and stall vehicles.

Hose down the accumulated ash
and plant leaves on roofs.
Stay away from the slide area.
There may be a danger of
additional slides.
Check for injured and trapped
persons near the slide, without
entering the direct slide area. Direct
rescuers to their locations.
Listen to local radio or television
stations for the latest emergency
information.



Watch for flooding, which may
occur after a landslide or debris
flow.
Report broken utility lines and
suspected damaged buildings to
appropriate authorities.
If you have a respiratory ailment,
avoid contact with ash. Stay
indoors until local health officials
advise it is safe to go outside.
Volcanic ash can cause great
damage to breathing passages and
the respiratory system

A volcanic eruption can have devastating
effects on people and the environment. You and your
family will have a greater chance of surviving these
natural disasters if you take precautions.
Follow evacuation orders and learn about the
community's emergency alert systems and plans.
Never watch an erupting volcano. Cover your face
with a face mask or damp cloth to protect you from
poisonous gas during a volcanic eruption. Stay
indoors until authorities say it is safe to go outside.
Preparedness will reduce the number of
people killed or injured, which is why you should
have a plan ahead of time in case of these natural
disasters.

BRIEF DISCUSSION
Taal Volcano
Have you ever seen or gone near a volcano?
What is a volcano?
How is it different from other landforms?
A volcano is an opening in the Earth’s crust. Molten rocks, ashes, and gaseous
materials are forced out through its opening. The opening of a volcano is called the crater.
In the Philippines there are many volcanoes. Some of them are Mt. Bulusan in Sorsogon, Mt.
Pinatubo in Zambales, Mt. Kanlaon in Negros Oriental, and Hibok-Hibok Volcano in Camiguin.
Volcanoes vary in sizes. Some are low lying depressions while others are tall, like Mt.
Mayon. Volcano also vary in shape. Some are shape like a cone while others are like a dome.
How does a volcanic eruption occur? When tectonic plates collide, massive rocks underground
deform and trigger a build-up of temperature and pressure. The high temperature and pressure
results in melting of rocks, producing magma.
Inside the volcano is a magma chamber. Molten rock inside this chamber is forcefully
driven out by intense heat and pressure. The release of magma from the cater is called a
volcanic eruption. The magma that flows out on the surface is called lava. When a volcano
erupts, it throws out lava together with gases, rocks, and ashes.
A volcanic eruption can be explosive or nonexplosive. An eruption is explosive when
large amounts of pyroclastic materials are ejected by the volcano into the air. Pyroclastic
materials consist of lava, ashes, volcano glass, and rocks. It occurs when gases in the magma
are trapped, causing a build up of pressure in the magma chamber. As a result, the gases
expand very quickly and explode violently. This results in a loud explosion. An explosive
eruption can last for several hours or days.

Name of Teacher: _______________________________________
Section : ___________________
In a nonexplosive eruption, lava just flows out of the crater and gaps along the sides
of the volcano. This kind of eruption happens when there is less in a magma chamber. There
is less pressure when magma is located nearer the Earth’s surface.
Effects of Volcanic Eruptions
Volcanic eruptions can cause damage to plants, animals, people, and property. Aside
from destruction, materials released by a volcano can have beneficial effects in nature.
Can you give some good and bad effects of a volcanic eruption?
Volcanic Eruption: What to do before, during, and after
With the country on Alert Level 4 for “hazardous explosion” being possible in Taal within
days, if not hours, Filipinos are starting to prepare for potential disaster. To help everyone stay
safe, here’s a quick guide on what to do before, during and after a volcanic eruption:
BEFORE THE EXPLOSION
1. Evacuate immediately
2. Stay tuned
3. Charge your electronics
4. Know your hotlines:
 National Emergency Hotline: 911
 Philippine National Police: 117
 PHILVOCS- (02) 8426 -1468 to 79
 Philippine Red Cross - 143 or (02) 8790-2300

Hello kids! Welcome to our Disaster
Preparedness Team! Nicka and I
(Ben) will guide you in designing a
preparedness plan/emergency plan
and kit in case of earthquake and
volcanic eruption.
Emergencies can occur at any time and with little or no warning. When calamity
hits, you may be able to save lives and protect your family by taking vital actions.
Know your emergency hotlines!
Request your parents to assist you in compiling a list of emergency phone numbers,
including those of your family members. You can also use these numbers to practice
dialing.

To be prepared, you must have enough food, water, and other resources
to last for several days. An emergency kit or go bag is a collection of essential
materials that your family might need in the event of a disaster. You should also
consider the special needs your family could have, such as pet or elderly
supplies.
An emergency kit or go bag
includes flashlight, canned
foods, clothes, soap, bottled
water, whistle, first aid kit,
tissue/wipes, battery-operated
radio, extra batteries, toothbrush
and toothpaste.
Animals left behind during
disasters can become wounded, fall
ill, starve, or perish. They have even
less ability to flee dangerous
situations than humans, especially
when they are kept in cages, locked
up in a house, or tied up. Also,
leaving your dogs behind will be
quite distressing for both you and
them.
You may not be able to feed, check on, or even rescue your pets due to
the unsafe situation. Returning to your home to do so could endanger you
and divert rescuers away from saving you. Leaving your pets behind can
restrain human evacuation and rescue attempts, especially when time is of
the essence. To be prepared for a disaster, you must be able to escape
with your pets by having enough carriers for everyone and having a strategy
in place.
Remember



An earthquake and volcanic eruption can have devastating effects on
people and the environment.
You and your family will have a greater chance of surviving these
natural disasters if you practice precautionary measures before,
during, and after an earthquake or volcanic eruption.
Preparedness will reduce the number of casualties or injured, which is
why you should have a plan ahead of time in case of these natural
disasters.
