1. Prepare your own Family Contingency Plan in case of Super Typhoon and
Flood in your area.

Family Contingency Plan in Case of a

Super Typhoon and Flood
This Family Contingency Plan is to ensure the safety, well-being, and
preparedness of our family in the event of a super typhoon and flood. By developing
this plan, we aim to minimize risks, effectively respond to emergencies, and navigate
through challenging situations with confidence and resilience. Through careful
preparation, clear communication, and proactive measures, we strive to protect and
support one another, ensuring that each family member is equipped to face any
potential disruptions caused by these natural disasters. In case of a super typhoon
and flood in our area, our family will take the following steps to ensure our safety and
well-being:

1. Stay Informed:

- Keep a battery-powered radio and extra batteries on hand to stay updated

on the weather conditions and evacuation orders.

- Stay connected with local authorities and emergency management agencies

for updates and instructions.

2. Evacuation Plan:

- Identify evacuation routes and designated evacuation centers in our area.

- Determine which family members, pets, and important documents and

valuables are essential to bring with us if we need to evacuate.

3. Emergency Supplies:

- Prepare an emergency kit containing non-perishable food, water, a first aid

kit, medication, toiletries, flashlight, and important documents (birth
certificates, insurance policies, and passports).

- Stock up on essential items such as batteries, a portable phone charger, and

cash.

4. Secure Your Home:

- Clear gutters and drainage systems to prevent flooding.

- If time permits, secure windows and doors, and move outdoor furniture and
equipment inside or to a secure location and ensuring that the roof is in good
condition.

typhoon or flood. Designate a point of contact outside the affected area that
everyone can check in with.

- Ensure all family members have each other's contact information and know
how to reach each other in case of an emergency.

6. Stay Safe During the Storm:

- Follow safety instructions given by local authorities.

- Stay indoors and away from windows.

- Do not attempt to drive or walk through flooded areas.

7. Post-Storm Procedures:

- Check in with family members and neighbors to ensure everyone is safe.

- Assess any damage to our home and property and document it for insurance
purposes.

- Follow instructions from local authorities regarding clean-up and return to the
area.

It is vital to review and update our family contingency plan regularly and
ensure all family members are aware of the plan and know what to do in case of a
super typhoon and flood in our area. By following this family contingency plan, we
hope to minimize the impact of a super typhoon and flood and ensure the safety and
well-being of our family.

2. Making an Action Plan

Directions. Suppose you are the coordinator of the Municipal Disaster Risk
Reduction Management of your town. You are tasked to make an action plan to
mitigate the effects of typhoon/flood in risk zone. The action plan example and
template are already given below. Remember that the environmental and people’s
health are your priorities. Then, kindly answer the guide questions.
In your action plan, make at least two objectives.

Project "AGARANG AKSIYON SA MAMAMAYAN LABAN SA BAGYO AT

BAHA" emphasizes the critical need for coordinated action to protect the populace,
as typhoon and flooding hazards are a recurrent problem. Due to its archipelagic
geography, the nation is highly vulnerable to natural disasters, especially tropical
cyclones and intense rains, which can cause extensive flooding and serious

CAMPUSES GENERAL LUNA, QUEZON CAMPUS

damage. There is an increasing focus on organizing the community for quick and
efficient measures to lessen the effects of disasters and increase resilience in
response to these persistent threats.
The necessity of proactive steps, early warning systems, community
readiness, and government initiatives to safeguard people's lives and property is
highlighted by this call for immediate action. The phrase captures the spirit of
cooperation, urgency, and joint accountability between the public and the
government in addressing the problems caused by typhoons and floods. The goal is
to reduce the negative effects of these natural disasters and guarantee the safety
and well-being of the community as a whole by promoting quick and coordinated
responses.

Guide Questions:

A. What are the factors did you consider when making projects and activities?

 When creating the "AGARANG AKSIYON SA MAMAMAYAN LABAN SA

BAGYO AT BAHA" project, we thought about a few important things. First,
we wanted to keep everyone safe, including the environment and people's
health. So, our plans focused on involving the whole community, like local
officials, emergency responders, health professionals, and volunteers.
 We also considered the need for everyone to know what to do in case of a
typhoon or flood. That's why we planned awareness campaigns, teaching
people about evacuation routes and safe shelters. To tackle potential issues
like flooding, we looked into waste management strategies to keep drainage
systems clear. We made sure to gather resources like transportation,
communication devices, emergency kits, rescue equipment, and shelters for
quick response. With a one-month timeline, we organized practice
evacuations and closely worked with local officials, making sure everyone is

CAMPUSES GENERAL LUNA, QUEZON CAMPUS

ready and can respond well to emergencies. The goal was simple: to create a
plan that keeps the community safe and resilient when facing typhoon and
flood risks.
B. Are all your objectives measurable and attainable? Justify your answer.
 The objectives outlined in the action plan are generally measurable and
attainable. The first objective aims to ensure everyone is aware of the
evacuation plan, which can be measured by tracking the participation in
awareness campaigns and evacuation drills. Attainability is supported by the
clear plan to conduct regular campaigns and drills, making the objective
achievable.
 The second objective focuses on keeping the town clean to prevent health
risks by managing waste properly, particularly avoiding clogging drainage
systems. Measurability is evident through monitoring the implementation of
waste management strategies, and attainment is reasonable as it aligns with
the outlined activities like waste management campaigns and community-
wide plans.
C. What are the difficulties/problem did you encounter in making the action plan?
 Creating the action plan "AGARANG AKSIYON SA MAMAMAYAN LABAN
SA BAGYO AT BAHA" involved some challenges. First, ensuring effective
communication among various stakeholders, such as local government
officials, emergency responders, and community leaders, required
coordination and cooperation. Getting everyone on the same page to
implement the plan seamlessly was a task that demanded clear
communication strategies.
 Secondly, resource allocation presented challenges. Securing transportation,
communication devices, emergency kits, rescue equipment, and emergency
shelters required careful planning to meet the needs of the community during
a one-month duration. Balancing the availability and accessibility of these
resources, considering the town's specific vulnerabilities, was crucial for a
successful disaster response plan. Addressing these difficulties required
collaborative efforts and strategic decision-making to prioritize environmental
and people's health in the face of typhoon and flood risks.
D. How did you cope with the problem encountered in making the action plan?
 Creating the action plan had its challenges, especially in coordinating with
different groups. We solved this by talking a lot with the Disaster Management
team, local officials, and others involved. Regular meetings helped us all work
together for a plan that keeps everyone safe during typhoons and floods.
 Making sure everyone knows what to do was another challenge. We fixed this
by organizing campaigns that shared simple messages about where to go
 Republic of the Philippines
POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES
OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR BRANCHES AND
CAMPUSES GENERAL LUNA, QUEZON CAMPUS

during evacuations and finding safe places. These messages were spread
through various ways so that everyone in the town could understand the
importance of being ready for disasters.
 Keeping the town clean and preventing drainage problems was also a big
concern. To handle this, we worked with waste management groups and
organized clean-up activities. Everyone, including community leaders and
volunteers, joined in to make sure our town stays clean and safe from health
risks during floods. Overall, talking a lot, sharing information in simple ways,
and working together on clean-up efforts were key to making our action plan
work well.

3. Researcher’s Problem
Directions. Suppose you are one of the leading researchers in your community
described as a low-lying area. A land developer wants to build a factory that will lead
to cutting down trees and disruption of river and source of water for the whole
community. As a researcher, what are the problems that the land developer might
encounter if he continues to build the factory? Answer the question in the form of a
letter addressed to the land developer.

Dear: Land Developer.

We hope this letter finds you well. We write to you as one of the leading researchers
in our community, with a deep concern regarding the proposed construction of a
factory in our low-lying area. We understand the potential benefits that such a
development may bring in terms of economic growth and job opportunities. However,
 Republic of the Philippines
POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES
OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR BRANCHES AND
CAMPUSES GENERAL LUNA, QUEZON CAMPUS

we would like to bring to your attention some of the problems that you might
encounter if you continue with the construction of the factory, particularly the cutting
down of trees and the disruption of the river and water sources for the whole
community.
1. Ecological Consequences: The cutting down of trees in our community will
have detrimental ecological consequences. Trees play a vital role in
maintaining the balance of our ecosystem by capturing and storing carbon
dioxide, releasing oxygen, preventing soil erosion, and providing habitat for
numerous species of plants and animals. By removing these trees, we risk
disrupting the delicate ecological balance and potentially causing irreparable
damage to our local environment.
2. Water Shortage: Our community heavily relies on the river and its associated
water sources for our daily needs, such as drinking water, agriculture, and
livestock. The construction of a factory may lead to the contamination or the
redirection of these water sources, resulting in a potential shortage of clean
water for the entire community. This could have severe consequences on
public health, agriculture, and the overall well-being of our residents.
3. Flooding Risks: As a low-lying area, our community is already susceptible to
flooding during heavy rains or storms. The construction of a factory may
involve altering the natural drainage patterns, which could exacerbate the
flooding risks for our community. Increased surface runoff, due to the removal
of trees and modification of the land, could lead to increased floodwater
volumes and elevated floodplain levels, putting our residences, infrastructure,
and livelihoods at greater risk.
4. Disruption of Wildlife: Our low-lying area is home to a wide variety of
wildlife species. The construction and operation of a factory could result in
habitat destruction and fragmentation, leading to the displacement or loss of
our local wildlife populations. This disruption of the natural ecosystem could
have far-reaching consequences, including a decline in biodiversity and the
potential for imbalances in the predator-prey relationship.
5. Community Health Concerns: Industrial activities near residential areas can
have adverse effects on human health. The release of pollutants, emissions,
and noise pollution from the factory could pose a significant risk to the well-
being of our community members. This includes respiratory issues,
cardiovascular problems, and other negative health impacts that could arise
from exposure to air and noise pollution.
We as Student researchers strongly urge you to reconsider the construction of the
factory in our low-lying area, taking into account the potential problems highlighted
above. It is crucial to prioritize the long-term sustainability and well-being of our
community and to seek alternative options that minimize the negative impact on our
environment, water sources, wildlife, and public health.
We would be happy to further discuss these concerns and explore potential
sustainable alternatives with you. This is our E-mail [email protected].
