during or immediately after a disaster in order to save lives, reduce health
impacts, ensure public safety and meet the basic subsistence needs of the
people affected.
Risk: The combination of the probability of an event and its negative
consequences.
Risk assessment: A methodology to determine the nature and extent of risk
by analysing potential hazards and evaluating existing conditions of
vulnerability that together could potentially harm exposed people, property,
services, livelihoods and the environment on which they depend.
Risk management: The systematic approach and practice of managing
uncertainty to minimize potential harm and loss.
Vulnerability: The characteristics and circumstances of a community, system
or asset that make it susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard.

BACKGROUND
Kabulawan is a coastal barangay of the Municipality of Lagonglong in
the province of Misamis Orientaland one-kilometer from the Poblacion. It is
situated at approximately 8.8164, 124.7966, in the island of Mindanao.
Elevation at these coordinates is estimated at 14.2 meters or 46.6 feet above
mean sea level.
The barangay has a very accessible road traversed by the
superhighway. The seashore is favorable for fishing that greatly helps the
livelihood of the inhabitants. On the upper part is a large agricultural land
planted with coconuts, corns, bananas and other root crops.
Its population as determined by the 2015 Census was 3,197. This
represented 14.76% of the total population of Lagonglong.
According to the 2015 Census, the age group with the highest
population in Kabulawan is 5 to 9, with 401 individuals. Conversely, the age
group with the lowest population is 80 and over, with 33 individuals.

II.
OBJECTIVES
“This 2020 Contingency Plan covers Kabulawan Elementary School,
Division of Misamis Oriental, Region X. It focuses on Tropical Cycle and
Flood Hazard.
The School Disaster Risk Reduction Management Contingency Plan is
designed by school administrator and school teachers, to provide the plan
and information needed to reduce risk and make school safer. The
Department of Education (DepED) through the Technical Working Group
(TWG) of the Department’s Disaster Risk Reduction Management
conceptualized the promotion of hazard/disaster awareness, to manage
impacts, and to help all school communities to reduce the risk of threats
from natural and human-made/induced disasters.
This plan provides procedures based on the policy statement of the
Department of Education for the empowerment of DepEd personnel. It
outlines the legal bases of the program and spells out the role of the
Department’s Central Office, Regional Office, Division Office, District Office
down the school level. The adopted 4-phase strategy: Mitigation,
Preparedness, Response, and Rehabilitation, illustrates the basic
procedures that our school may employ before, during and after the
occurrence of a disaster. This plan offers safeguarding mechanisms to
protect and preserve personnel and students, DepEd property, school
facilities, equipment, fixtures, instructional materials and school records.
Alternative learning system as well as rehabilitation of learning venues
is further predetermined to ensure continuity of instruction. This is to carry
out the duties and responsibilities of the school to deliver instruction even in
times of emergencies or calamities. Sustainability of a program is always
an issue, so, provision of the monitoring, evaluation, and proper reporting
procedures ensures the continuity and effectiveness of the implementation
of the Disaster Risk Management Program.
In light of the need to strengthen the preparedness of the school, and
to provide a Comprehensive plan of action the SDRRMG members had
develop together to demonstrate how the school will prepare for and
respond to disasters to establish the following purpose:




III.
To provide a coordinated, effective response to emergency
and disaster situations
Protect and preserve the health, safety and well-being of all
members of the school5 community, namely, the faculty,
volunteers and caretakers, and learners
Ensure that all school members know what to do in the event
of an emergency or disaster
Ensure that prevention and preparedness systems are in
place at the school level to minimize the damaging effects of
disasters.
IMPACTS
The uncertainty of future calamity at the onset of rainy season and
climate change should be anticipated with unforeseen event on known
disaster/calamity prone areas to ensure a maximum safety and lesser effect
to life and property to threatened school and community.
Man made disaster preparedness plan and programs are better than
nothing but not knowing the manner how it will be anticipated and executed is
a vulnerability to worst scenario.
Based on the Hazard Maps shown below it indicates hazards of
flooding due to the situation that Kabulawan Elementary School is surrounded
by creeks in the area due to water overflow in the anticipated prolonged rain
due to tropical cyclone/ typhoon.
There have been observed increases in the intensities of tropical
cyclone occurrences in the country over time, which are often considered
manifestations of the impacts of climate change (Philippine Atmospheric,
Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration [PAGASA], 2011;
Yang, Wang, Huang, & Wang, 2015). In 2009 and 2010, the country passed
its Climate Change Act and the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act,
respectively. Even before the corresponding institutional mechanisms were
fully implemented, these laws were put to the test as the country was hit by a
series of lethal tropical cyclones. In 2013, Typhoon Haiyan left a staggering
trail of 6,092 deaths, while in 2012 and in 2011, Typhoon Bopha and Tropical
Storm (TS) Washi claimed 1,248 and 1,258 lives, respectively (National
Disaster Risk Reduction & Management Council [NDRRMC], 2014).2 These
three tropical cyclones were the most lethal globally during the years 2011 to
2013 (Guha-Sapir, Hoyois, & Below, 2012, 2013, 2014). Moreover, these
tropical cyclones were the most costly disaster events in the Philippines in
these years (NDRRMC, 2014). A total of 652 tropical cyclones entered the
Philippines during the period 1980 to 2013 (PAGASA, 2014). About half of
these are reported as destructive having had adverse impacts on people and
on assets. The cumulative death toll reached over 30,000, while the average
annual fatalities is 885. For each destructive cyclone, an average of 102
persons die. About 5 million persons are affected annually, and over 570,000
are affected on average per destructive tropical cyclones. Annual average
cost is U.S.$355 million. Damage costs were highest in 2012 and 2013,
mainly because of Typhoons Bopha and Haiyan, respectively. Average
damage per destructive event is U.S.$41 million. Despite the Philippines’
sustained high economic growth rate, poverty reduction has been
disappointing. In 2013, its 7.2 percent real GDP growth rate was higher than
most of its neighboring countries and almost on par with that of China (World
Bank, 2014). However, as of 2012, offical statistics reveal that poverty
incidence among the population in the Philippines stood at 25.2 percent, only
1.4 percentage points lower than that in 2006 while the number of poor people
increased by 1.1 million. There is great variation across provinces, with
poverty incidence in 2012 ranging from a low of only 3.4 percent to a high of
73.8 percent.

ACTIVATION, DEACTIVATION AND NONACTIVATION OF CONTINGENCY PLAN
This contingency measures in this document aligns with the
PDRRMC Contingency Plan for the Tropical Cyclone in the province of
Misamis Oriental. This will enable DepEd to have better coordination
horizontally, i.e. DepEd with other NDRRMC agencies, and vertically,
i.e. DepEd Central Office down to the schools.
III.A. Activation
The Strong Tropical Cyclone will trigger the activation of
Contingency Plan. Once the contingency is activated, the primary
indicators for the deployment of the assisting local government unit
including MDRRMO to affected school are based on the functionality
of the existing Emergency Operating Center (EOCs) of the MDRRMO.
The DepEd ~Region X, the Division of Misamis Oriental, the office of
PSDS shall coordinate for deployment and mobilization of the
resources.DO 43 and 50 will be followed on the suspension of classes.
III.B. Deactivation
All assisting MDRRMO will operate until such time that the
affected school are able to recover and eventually take charge. Hence
the trigger of de-activation of the plan will be based on the
recommendation of LGU. Specifically, the LGU will assess if the
tropical cyclone is already gone. The recommendation will then be
escalated to the Division Office up to National Office for further
decision.
III.C. Non-Activation
In the event that the plan is not activated, the response
mechanisms detailed in this plan can still relevant for any occurring
Tropical Cyclone.
II.
