    Sigma Imposium
    This document discusses geological hazards such as landslides and sinkholes. It defines landslides and sinkholes, describes different types of each, and provides examples of landslides and sinkholes that have occurred in the Philippines. It also outlines signs that indicate an impending geological hazard and recommends precautions and mitigation strategies for landslides and sinkholes, such as evacuating immediately if a landslide is warned and examining structures for damage after a landslide occurs. The purpose is to educate about geological hazards and how to prepare for and respond to such disasters.

    PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR SINKHOLES


    1. If a sinkhole occurs in an area of traffic,
    barricade it to prevent motorists or pedestrians
    from getting too close to it. Remember that the
    size continue to increase, so barricade it with
    ample room to spare.
    2. Check fields before undertaking machine-related
    activities.
    3. Keep tractors and heavy machinery far enough
    away from the sinkholes.

    MITIGATION STRATEGIES IN CASE OF LANDSLIDE


     Before a Landslide
    1. It is good to secure clearance from the Mines
    and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) on the status of
    possible landslides.
    2. Help prepare the members of the family for
    evacuation upon the direction of proper
    authorities.
    3. Maintain a list of contact numbers during
    emergencies.
    4. Participate in planting grasses and trees.
    5. Participate in regular drills.
    6. Help promote public awareness.
     During a Landslide
    1. Evacuate immediately if warned of an impending
    landslide or mudflow.
    2. Stay away from the path of landslide debris.
    3. Get out of the house as soon as possible when
    rumbling sounds are heard.
    4. Run across a slope, not downwards.
     After a Landslide
    1. Examine thoroughly the damaged parts and
    utilities of the house before re-occupying it.
    2. Stay away from the landslide area.
    3. Help check with caution the injured and trapped
    persons and direct the rescuers to their
    locations.
    4. Listen to the local radio or television stations for
    the latest emergency information.
