SITUATION
a. General
The Philippines is one of the countries that are prone to an array of natural
disasters or calamities considering its geographic location in the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Being surrounded by bodies of water due to its archipelagic formation, the country is
exposed to hydro-meteorological hazards such as destructive typhoons, monsoon rains
which cause landslides and flashfloods. Apart from these hazards, the country is also
prone to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and severe droughts. In the 2011 World Risk
Report of the United Nations University and the Institute of Environment of Human
Security indicated that the Philippines is the 3rd most disaster risk country worldwide.
Through the enactment of Republic Act (RA) No 10121 also known as the
“Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010”, the National Disaster
Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) was established to address
national programs for disaster management focusing on the four (4) thematic areas of
disaster prevention and mitigation, disaster preparedness, disaster response and
disaster recovery and rehabilitation. The AFP being one of the members of NDRRMC
plays a significant role as lead of the Search, Rescue and Retrieval (SRR) Cluster under
the thematic area Disaster Response.
In 2004, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) released the Metro
Manila Earthquake Impact Reduction Study (MMEIRS) stating various earthquake
Page 1 of 15
scenarios that have potential damage effect in the NCR. Of the different scenario
earthquakes studied, the 7.2 magnitude Model 8 West Valley Fault appeared to have the
most devastating impact to lives and properties. According to the study, the approximate
return period of an earthquake is less than 500 years which is well within the present
time since no event occurred along the West Valley Fault after 17 th century.
b. Area of Concern
Metro Manila, where the seat of government is located shall be protected and
secured from threat of all-hazards to ensure stability of the country and continuity of
governance and trade.
Republic Act No. 10121 provided the organization of the National Capital
Region Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NCRDRRMC) to address
disaster management in Metro Manila. The AFP’s Joint Task Force – National Capital
Region (JTF-NCR) as a member of the regional council supports the NCRDRRMC’s
programs and other disaster management activities.
c. Risk and Threat
It is likely that a failure or collapse in governance will happen in Metro Manila
once the 7.2 magnitude earthquake (Model 8 West Valley Fault) occurs. Hence, the
threat of total chaos in the metropolis is a great possibility. There will be a breakdown in
law and order, total panic and confusion among the affected communities. With this as a
grim scenario, there is a need to plan and identify an alternate area where to relocate or
transfer the seat of government including the AFP Command and Control. Said area
must be a safe and secured location outside Metro Manila.
d. Agencies and Friendly Forces
The National, Regional and Local DRRMCs, other government and nongovernment organizations and international humanitarian bodies and other organizations
will provide humanitarian assistance and conduct disaster response operations at the
affected communities in Metro Manila.
The AFP through the JTF-NCR, NOLCOM, SOLCOM and other Unified
Commands (UCs) with its current capabilities and resources and with the support of SRR
cluster members, other concerned agencies, NGOs and international humanitarian
organizations will respond to the affected communities.
e. Assumptions
1) The AFP GHQ, Major Service Headquarters and JTF-NCR will be affected
including its capability to respond and provide Command and Control;
2) Government functions and services will be hampered and a state of
emergency will be declared by the President due to massive casualties and destruction
in Metro Manila;
3) There will be breakdown in law and order due to chaos and panic. The
normal law enforcement operations of the PNP will not be able to stabilize or contain the
situation;
Page 2 of 15
4) Main road networks to Metro Manila from the north and south will be cut off
due to damaged bridges and fallen debris from collapsed structures;
5) There will be political turmoil and security instability as some opposition
groups to include threat groups will likely to take advantage of the situation;
6) Massive jailbreaks of political prisoners; former government officials and
other high risk detainees;
7) Based on the Metro Manila Earthquake Impact Reduction Study (MMEIRS),
the following is the summary of estimated casualties and damages:
a) 33,500 dead and 113,600 people injured during the 1st hour;
b) 168,300 residential buildings are heavily-collapsed;
c) 339,800 residential buildings are partially-damaged;
d) Fire outbreaks to around 139,900 buildings;
e) Seven (7) major bridges collapsed;
f) 4,000 points of water supply pipes broken;
g) 30km electric power transmission cables cut;
h) 95km aerial and underground PLDT cables cut; and
i) 8-10% of public purpose buildings such as hospitals, schools,
firefighting facilities, police, LGU and municipal halls are heavily-damaged while 20-25%
are partially-damaged.
j) Regional separation in the NCR will happen as a result of the 7.2
magnitude earthquake (Model 8 – West Valley Fault) due to broken or damaged road
network, fire, building collapse and geographical condition. Metro Manila (MM) will
possibly be separated in four (4) regions as follows:
i. MM – North composed of Caloocan, Valenzuela, Quezon City, San
Juan and Mandaluyong;
ii. MM – South composed of Las Pinas, Muntinlupa, part of
Paranaque, Makati, Taguig and Pateros;
iii. MM – West composed of Navotas, Malabon, Manila, Pasay and part
of Paranaque; and
iv. MM – East composed of Marikina and Pasig.
2.
Mission:
The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) leads SRR operations in support of
the NDRRMC in order to save lives and mitigate the effects of the 7.2 magnitude
earthquake (Model 8 – West Valley Fault) in Metro Manila.
Page 3 of 15
3.
Execution:
a. CSAFP Intent:
1) Purpose: To effectively and efficiently conduct SRR operations and other
humanitarian assistance/support activities in NCR. When chaos prevails as a result of
the disaster, the AFP will conduct stability and security operations in support to the PNP.
2) End State: Save lives and alleviate human suffering, restore normalcy and
maintain law and order; after which, the AFP facilitates the civilian government agencies
to immediately resume their normal functions.
3) Lines of Operations/Efforts (LOOs/LOEs):
a)
Search, rescue and retrieval operations with other SRR cluster
members and partner agencies (PNP, BFP, PCG, NBI, PRC, LGU-search and rescue
volunteers, and others as identified by the cluster lead);
b)
Rapid Damage Assessment and Needs Analysis (RDANA) thru
aerial survey if possible in coordination with NDRRMC;
c)
Evacuation of victims and other threatened communities; and
d)
Security and Stability Operations (SASO) in support to PNP.
b. Concept of Operations (CONOPS):
Three (3) Phases of Operations
The AFP, with its current forces-in-being, capabilities and assets conducts
Search, Rescue and Retrieval (SRR) operations and other humanitarian activities to
include stability and security operations in Metro Manila in three (3) phases namely
Phase I – Pre-Disaster, Phase II – During Disaster and Phase III – Post Disaster. During
Phase I, JTF-NCR is takes the lead in the preparation for the mega-disaster in close
coordination with NCRDRRMC while NOLCOM, SOLCOM and the other Unified
Commands (UCs) are also drawing up their respective contingencies to support the
former once the Model 8 earthquake happened in Metro Manila. The Major Services will
provide and sustain respective designated HADR units to be placed OPCON to JTF-NCR
for the conduct of SRR.
Shifting Supported-Supporting Roles
Phase II commences once the 7.2 magnitude earthquake (West Valley Fault)
hits the NCR. At this point, NOLCOM assumes the lead role of conducting SRR in Metro
Manila and becomes the Supported Command since GHQ AFP and JTF-NCR are
expected to be incapacitated. SOLCOM and other UCs as Supporting Commands will
provide support to NOLCOM not only in SRR but in SASO in support to the PNP.
Further, NOLCOM assists GHQ AFP and JTF-NCR to reestablish Command and Control
and handover the SRR responsibility in Metro Manila once JTF-NCR has recovered to
assume the Supported Command role. In this case, NOLCOM is relegated as Supporting
Command.
Page 4 of 15
Support to Recovery and Rehabilitation
For Phase III, SRR operations is terminated and the AFP units deployed in
Metro Manila gradually transform to assisting concerned government agencies to early
recovery and rehabilitation. With the enormousness of the damage to infrastructure, AFP
resources will be committed heavily on this aspect.
Force Provider-Force Employer
For this CONPLAN, the Force Provider-Force Employer concept will be
followed. As such, the Major Services through their currently deployed and deployable
HADR units, shall provide the capabilities (manpower, equipment and training) for SRR
operations while the UCs or JTF shall employ them in accordance with the established
command and support relationships.
Priority of Efforts
When the “Big One” happens in Metro Manila, the priority of the SRR mission
is life-saving tasks through search and rescue, and prevention of injuries by way of
evacuation and transport. Moreover, AFP units will support in the conduct of lifeline
restoration such as road debris clearing to facilitate movement of emergency services
providers, humanitarian aid/relief, crowd management and law enforcement including
security forces for stability operations. Priority of road clearing will be given to those
identified as part of the emergency road network namely: EDSA, Roxas Boulevard, Taft
Avenue, Osmena Highway and Shaw Boulevard. Others will be identified in detail.
Incident Command System
For clarity, AFP units deployed for SRR operations in Metro Manila will follow
the Incident Command System (ICS) that is being adopted by the NCRDRRMC in
carrying out its humanitarian assistance mission. This will allow smooth disaster-related
coordination and management among key players and other stakeholders. Further, this
will effectively address some persistent issues and problems arising in the past megadisaster experiences the AFP had particularly in dealing with government agencies, local
and foreign humanitarian groups and other civilian organizations.
