 CHAPTER I DISASTER PREPAREDNESS DIMENSION

FOCUS ON GROUP DISCUSSION

I - Introduction

A long time ago, people believed that accidents and other unfortunate events are the workings of a
supernatural being that is beyond their control. But today, we know better than to wait for disaster to
strike us. Over the years, people learned that disaster can be prevented with proper knowledge and
preparation.

The Philippines is located in the circum pacific belt of fire and typhoon. This being so, the country has
always been subjected to natural disaster and calamities anytime of the year, in whatever part of the
country, we have been experiencing yearly natural calamities – floods, typhoons, tornadoes,
earthquakes, drought, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions which have brought incessant miseries to our
people, loss of lives properties.

This concept gave rise to Disaster Risk Reduction Management which aims to remove or minimize
hazardous incidences, lessen unnecessary actions, and disseminate relevant information. But
unfortunately, life-threatening accidents arising from untoward incidents are as common now as it was
before. A good reason for this could be the fact that not all are well-informed and some may still be
stuck with notion that disasters are the wrath of some gods. The most vulnerable to the said disasters
are the children and the elderly for they are prone to miscalculations and sadly, their survival rate is left
to chance.

As a NSTP students its our duty to spread awareness to all individuals about the proper and logical way
of acting when faced with disasters. This could not only assure their own safety but could also help their
families be well-informed. Children early in their elementary years should be subjected to regular safety
drills in order to make surviving disasters second nature.

Being aware and knowledgeable about this can minimize and can sometimes prevent problems that
may occur during calamities. With this .knowledge you can also help not just your family, but those who
are close to you and can see the things you do.

II - Objective/s

 To spread information and let everyone know what to do when there is a disaster
 To recognize the concept of disaster preparedness
 To comprehend the significance of disaster preparedness

III - Narrative Statement (according to activities)

a. Preliminaries
For this dimension, the approach that we did is a group discussion which is better because we
can observed the reactions of the people involve in the discussion. In the discussion we tackled
 about the importance of being prepared. We also, discuss and inform them what to do before,
during and after a disaster happened. We pursue this kind of activity because we can’t conduct a
seminar and we think it is also good to give information infront of them.
b. Activity
For starter, we do research for us to gain more knowledge about the activity that we were
going to do. Next, we printed it and distribute to the people belong to the discussion. Lastly, we
discussed it.

IV - Problems Encountered

The problems that we face while conducting this activity is that some of the participants are not paying
attention to the person whos talking.

V - Recommendation/s

We recommend that the community should have a person to lead in spreading the information that
every individual needs.

CHAPTER II ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION DIMENSION

COASTAL CLEAN-UP DRIVE IN BARANGAY MAKIWALO MONDRAGON N. SAMAR

I - Introduction
 Coastal Cleanup Day was established by the Ocean Conservancy, an organization that work to help
protect the ocean from the challenges it faces every year.

They serve as a voice for the ocean, speaking of the issues that aren't often represented through social
networking, publicized updates, and challenges like asking your waitress to skip the straw for your drink.
Efforts like that work towards a trash-free ocean.

To support this endeavor, we the National Service Training Program (NSTP) students conducted a
Coastal Clean-up Activity at Barangay Makiwalo Mondragon Northern Samar on April 27, 2022 we start
the said activity at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon. A brief orientation was given by Angelo C. Contado. He
also reiterated the importance of environmental awareness and protection as well as cooperative
efforts of the community in sustaining this kind of acivity.

Ocean that have marine debris can cause a lot of problems to our ecosystems and economy.
Additionally, it can also be harmful to human health. Debris that is sharp or contains hazardous
substances can hurt people at play and marine animals. There could also be plastic in the seafood we
eat.

We remove trash from the sea side at the barangay. We collected different kinds of trash like plastic
bottles, styro foams, plastic bags and other single used plastics.

Barangay Makiwalo is a coastal community rich in marine resources. The main livelihood of the
people is fishing. However, due to the garbage scattered in the coastal area, some of them encountered
problems. Hence, in order to help the residents of the Brgy, this proposal aims to change the behaviors
of the people and encourage them to maintain the cleanliness of the environment.

II - Objective/s

The objective of this program is to help the coastal area in Barangay Makiwalo by dedicating efforts
to clean while instilling environmental awareness among residents of the community. At the end of the
project, these objectives are expected to be done:

 To save and protect the environment and marine animals;

III - Narrative Statement (according to activity)

a. Preliminaries
Before we decided to conduct the activity related to this dimension, we come up of many ideas
on what we should do. But in the end of the day we choose the most common and easy activity
which is coastal clean-up drive. We ask permission to the Barangay Captain if it is okay to
conduct our community immersion here in our Barangay. Thankfully he welcomes us and
 encourage us to do so. After we get our permission we decided to start our service on helping
our community and nature even if it is just a small gesture.
b. Activity
In the 27th of April 2022 our group start to conduct a coastal clean-up drive at Barangay
Makiwalo Mondragon N. Samar. The first thing that we did is that we gathered the materials
that we need in our activity. Right after that, our group decided to go to the coastal area since
we already have the materials that we need. Then, we remove trash from the sea side of the
shore at the barangay. We collected different kinds of trash like plastic bottles, styro foams,
plastic bags and other single used plastics. Last, we segregate the garbage we collected.

IV - Problems Encountered:

Community immersion is one of the best way to socialize, to help, to clean and also to encounter
new in our environment. As a first year Nursing student we can't deny that our community immersion is
so perfect. We also have flaws or problems that we've think that is the big problem.

Our group had an agreement that our call time is 1:00 PM then other go 1:30 PM, 2:00 PM or 2:30
PM. We waste our time waiting for nothing. Its a waste of time, "We would have had more time for the
emmersion, it would have been less because of waiting for others" And our time to adjust on when to
perform our community immersion, since the class in distance learning, our 1st year is so hectic to the
point we don’t even have time for our immersion

But we have thought of a solution so that we can still conduct our immersion because we would like
to help and do what is supposed to be done But in the end, everything is a lesson. We learned the
importance of time in everday life and every decision that we've make.

V - Recommendation/s

We do recommend that people from Barangay Makiwalo especially those living near at the coastal area
should always clean the environment. It might be a small gesture but it has a great effect in our
environment. By doing this we can help our planet to breathe.

Picking up the trash scattered in the area

SEEDLING DISTRIBUTION

I - Introduction

With the COVID-19 pandemic causing global economic downturns, food insecurity and having a major
impact on household production. To navigate a food crisis, our group decided to distribute a mongos
beans seedling to encourage people to plant vegetables. Planting can help people to survive a pandemic
and has taken root to assist communities to cope with the crisis. The coronavirus pandemic forced many
of us to be confined into our homes for extended periods of time, but a popular trend is helping people
get outside while bringing them a little peace of mind. Planting and gardening is known for being a
peaceful activity and since COVID-19 has drastically impacted our way of life, many have taken up the
outdoor hobby.
ll - Objectives

The objective of this activity is to encourage people to start something new that will be a great help for
their everyday life, especially now that we are in a midst of the pandemic. By helping them to get
started with their own edible home garden which aims to create a food secure community by having
people grow their own food at home.

III. Narrative Statement (according to activity)

a. Preliminaries
For this dimension our group decided to distribute a mongo seedling. First, we choose this
seedling because it grows easily. Second and lastly, is because when you sell this it is very
affordable to the buyers and you can surely get a profit that is really good.
b. Activities
For this activity, we talked first of what kind of seedling we will be distributed. Finally, our group
decided to buy a seedling which is mongo. We choose this because they are easy to sprout in
home. Also, mongo are a good source of protein and rich in vitamins and minerals. Aside from
being nutritious, it is also affordable. After we buy the seedlings, our group put it in a small
cellophane and we start distributing.

IV. Problems encountered

One of the problem that we face while conducting this activity is searching for seedling. Next, some the
people we get to interact with like some individuals doesn’t want to accept the seedlings that were
giving to them.

V. Recommendation/s

We recommend this seeds because aside from it is so affordable it is high in nutrients and
antioxidants,which may provide health benefits.
