week one for the third quarter topic
so before we are going to proceed into
proper discussion so let's have a
pre-test first so this is multiple
choice so all you have to do is to

test so now let us proceed to the proper
discussion so our topic for today is all
about basic concepts of disaster and
disaster rest
the Philippines is an archipelago in
Southeast Asia surrounded by the
Philippine Sea and Pacific Ocean in the
East and the South China Sea in the West
due to its geographical location the
Philippines is exposed to high incidence
of Hazards such as typhoons
floods
volcanic eruption
and earthquake
with a land area of three hundred
thousand one square kilometer and
estimated population of 101 million
991 thousand the Philippines is one of
the world's most disaster prone
countries
Philippines is also one of the countries
that belongs to what they call the
Pacific Ring of Fire where the two major
tectonic plates of the world meet the
Eurasian plate and the Pacific Plate the
Pacific Ring of Fire is also known a
path along the Pacific Ocean
characterized by active volcanoes and
frequent earthquakes
it is the reason of the occurrences of
most earthquakes which resulted two
tsunamis many active volcanoes are also
found because their eruptions have been
found in historical records
the Philippines lies in the Pacific Ring
of Fire where the most number of
volcanic and seismic activities are
recorded
provinces at rest to earthquake include
Surigao Del Sur La Union binget
Pangasinan Pampanga Tarlac ifugao Davao
Oriental Nueva Vizcaya and Nueva ecija
according to the report of United Nation
University Institute for environmental
and human security and the German
Alliance development works the
Philippine belongs to the top 10
countries facing the highest stress next
to vanuato and Tonga
Philippines ranks third on the list of
the most vulnerable countries to climate
change with a
24.32 disaster rest however this
percentage can be listened if all the
Filipinos will inform and knowledgeable
enough on disaster preparedness and
prevention
aside from being situated in the Pacific
Ring of Fire it is also located along
the typhoon belt on the western North
Pacific basin
where more or less 66 percent of
tropical Cyclones enter or originate in
the Pacific Ocean
Philippines is visited with an average
of 20 events of typhoons per year in
which more or less six of these typhoons
can be rather destructive
it's eastern Seaboard is highly exposed
to typhoons with wind speed greater than
150 kilometers in every hour
the Philippines is prone to Tropical
Cyclones due to its geographical
location which generally produce heavy
rains and flooding of large areas and
also strong winds which result in heavy
casualties to human life and
destructions to cup crops and properties
so what is a disaster a disaster is a
southern calamitous event that seriously
disrupt the functioning of community or
society and causes human material and
economic or environmental losses that
exceed the communities or society's
ability to cope using its own resources
though often caused by Nature disasters
can have human Origins
disasters are increasing nowadays and it
cannot be avoided I accordingly disaster
are the final exam for a community when
they have not taken the course so the
best way is to get ready and be prepared
the best way to get prepared is to be
proactive
disaster preparedness refers to the
measures taken to prepare for and reduce
the effects of disaster
so what are we going to prepare during
disaster
so here are you going to do prepare to
be self-sufficient for at least three
days by putting together an emergency
kit including non-perishable food water
a flashlight a portable battery operated
radio or television batteries
medicines antibacterial hand wipes first
aid kit money seasonal clothing and
sanitation supplies
disaster preparedness helps us to
predict and where possible prevent
disaster
mitigate their impact on vulnerable
populations and respond to the effective
cope with their consequences
that is why a new law or the Republic
act number 10 12 1 or the Philippine
disaster risk reduction and management
Act of 2010 the RRM transforms the
Philippines disaster management system
toward the disaster risk reduction or
drr
one of its purpose is to reduce the rest
brought about by any calamities or
hazards which put one's lives in danger
and loss of many properties
okay since we are done on our discussion
so let's have our assessment so all you
have to do is to put the pieces together
to form a word
