    Uploaded by

    John Patrick Calpito
    This document summarizes hazard assessments for floods and earthquakes in the Pasig-LGU Habitat 2 Townhomes community. It identifies these natural hazards as major risks for the area and describes their characteristics, including flood depth and earthquake intensity on the community's infrastructure. The document also evaluates vulnerability factors like vulnerable community members. It outlines structural mitigation steps such as evacuation routes and non-structural plans like developing emergency responses. Finally, it provides templates for a family disaster plan and emergency contact list to help residents prepare.

    11. PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT

    TYPES OF H A Z A R D
    Natural Hazards
    -Floods (River flood)
    -Earthquake hazard, near at Active Fault line (West Valley Fault).

    CHARACTERISTICS
    Floods
    -an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry.
    -Floods occur when there is enough rain in short enough time to swell
    a river over its banks or when a storm forces large amounts of water
    from the ocean inland.
    -The more the depth of water of floods, the higher its volume, velocity,
    and damaging capacity. A high rate of rising for water also means
    less preparation time for people in the area.
    11. PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT

    West Valley Fault


    -considered to be a shallow fault and so the severity of even a modest
    6.0-Richter earthquake will feel very strong to people within the National
    Capital Region.
    -100 km is the West Valley Fault's length, which runs through six cities
    in Metro Manila and parts of the provinces of Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna,
    and Cavite.
    INTENSITY
    Flood
    -Areas with greater than 2-meter flood height will affect. These areas
    are usually flooded for several hours during heavy rains, include
    landforms of topographic lows, such as active river channels; also
    prone to flash floods. Our community's affected infrastructure is the
    garden, and the passage out of our place since around our area is low.
    11. PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT

    INTENSITY
    West Valley Fault
    -The maximum intensity of ground shaking estimated is scale 7 (VII),
    resulting in the collapse of 170,000 residential houses in Metro
    Manila. While in our community, I think it could slightly damage our
    society since it is well-built ordinary structures.

    SCOPE
    -When a natural disaster happens, our community's most commonly
    affected are the people living here: children, frail elderly, disabled
    people, women, men, etc.
    11. PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT

    PREDICTABILITY
    Flood
    -The amount of rainfall occurring on a real-time basis. The rate of
    change in the river stage on a real-time basis can help indicate the
    severity and immediacy of the threat.
    Earthquake
    -neither the USGS nor any other scientists have ever predicted a
    major earthquake.
    -Reliable predictions require precursors – some signal in the earth
    that indicates a big quake is on the way. The movement has to
    happen only before large earthquakes, and it has to occur before all
    big quakes. And it can be measured using seismometers that detect
    the vibrations caused by seismic waves as they travel through the
    crust.
    11. PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT

    MANAGEABILITY
    -Identifying potential hazards and planning can reduce the threat of
    damage, injuries, and loss of life.
    -We cannot prevent natural hazards such as earthquakes and floods
    from occurring. Still, our community can significantly mitigate their
    effects by identifying hazards, building safer structures, and providing
    education on earthquake and flood safety. By preparing for
    natural earthquakes and floods, our community can also reduce the
    risk of earthquakes and floods.

    PLAN
    • Gather information.
    What disasters or hazards are most likely in your community? For your
    home?
    The most likely hazard or disaster happens in our community are earthquake and
    flood.
    How should you prepare for each?
    In flood,
    -We will check with your local council about local flood plans or records which
    detail problem areas and the passages out of our community.
    -We will make a waterproof go bag with emergency kit.
    -We will create an evacuation plan to the nearest shelter
    -We will make a list of local emergency numbers
    -We will clear the movable items from under and around our home.
    -We will check the
    In earthquake,
    -We will check with the council in our community which area would be damaged
    by the earthquake and the passages out of our community.
    -We will make a emergency kit together with the go bag.
    -We will create an evacuation plan to the nearest shelter.
    -We will make a list of local emergency numbers
    -We will clear the movable items from under and around our home.

    everyone to call.
    Keep a list of emergency phone numbers, including neighborhood contacts.
    Give emergency numbers to all family members and post by every phone.

    Family Emergency Plan Situations


    • Shelter-in-place
    Take immediate shelter wherever you are – home, work, school or in between –
    rather than entering into a hazardous situation.
    • Evacuation
    Our evacuation place is on the Sikat Araw Court near at our location.
    • Family emergency supply kit.
    -Supply kit with 3 or more days of supplies (food, water, clothing)
    -Important documents: insurance papers, medical records, bank account numbers
    -First aid supply
    -Flashlight
    • Share the above information with your family.
