-The P3DM was conducted in Camarines Norte, a province that lies along a typhoon belt, making it significant due to its vulnerability to natural hazards and the importance of community activity in hazard preparedness.
What tools did the children use to geo-tag the locations in their communities?
-The children used tablet computers and global positioning system (GPS) units to plot the exact locations of houses, facilities, and structures on the map.
How did the final P3DM model help the community?
-The final P3DM model allowed community members to better understand the location and risks present, enabling them to plan appropriate preparedness and mitigation measures.
What was the process like for the community when creating the P3DM model?
-The process involved the entire community, young and old, working hand in hand for over three days to complete the map, creating an atmosphere akin to a mini town fiesta in the village hall.
How did the children present the final P3DM model to others?
-The children presented and explained the final P3DM model to their classmates, teachers, adult community members, and local government officials, using symbols and legends based on local knowledge and understanding.
What does the script suggest about the importance of children's participation in disaster risk reduction?
-The script suggests that children can play a vital role in reducing risks in their communities when given opportunities and the right methods and tools that allow for meaningful participation, embodying UNICEF's child-centered approach to disaster risk reduction.
Outlines
📍 Mapping Hazards: Engaging the Community
Eco Boy Oh Boy, a geography student from the University of the Philippines (U.P.), discusses his involvement in a child-centered project with UNICEF aimed at helping communities develop three-dimensional hazard maps. This project, conducted as part of their Coors Field work, employed a participatory approach, or P3DM, to involve various community members, including children, in mapping their barangay village. Through this process, the community identified the locations of houses, schools, and other structures, as well as areas prone to hazards like floods and storm surges. This initiative was carried out in Camarines Norte, a province along the typhoon belt of the Philippines, which is particularly vulnerable to natural disasters. Children played a vital role in this process, helping to establish baseline data, geo-tagging, and pointing out hazard-prone areas and vulnerabilities, such as homes made of light materials and households with persons with disabilities. The project culminated in the creation of a geographically accurate, three-dimensional scale model of the village, which was both a fun and educational experience for the children involved. This initiative not only provided an engaging learning opportunity but also helped to enhance the community’s preparedness and response capabilities against potential natural disasters.

Highlights
Eco Boy, a U.P geography student, worked with communities on a child-centered project for UNICEF.
The project involved developing 3D hazard maps through a participatory approach called speed EDM.
Different community members, including children, were mobilized to create geographically accurate, scaled models of their barangay.
The 3D models identified the location of houses, schools, and other structures, as well as areas affected by hazards like floods and storm surge.
The project was conducted in several villages in Camarines Norte province, which lies along a typhoon belt.
Children were involved in every stage of the activity, helping establish baseline data and identify hazard-prone areas.
Children also identified capacities available in their village to respond or adapt to hazards, such as evacuation centers.
Young people helped geo-tag all houses, facilities, and structures in their communities using tablet computers and GPS units.
The community came together for over three days to complete the map, with children tracing contour lines and plotting structures.
The process was described as a 'mini town fiesta' in the village hall, with all members participating.
Children used different materials to plot houses, schools, and hazard-prone areas on the map.
The elderly also joined in, ensuring all households were accounted for and included on the map.
Children presented and explained the final 3D maps to classmates, teachers, and adult community members, including local government officials.
The maps were easy to explain and understand due to the use of local knowledge and symbols.
The maps help community members better understand location and risks, allowing them to plan appropriate preparedness and mitigation measures.
The activity demonstrated that children can play a vital role in reducing risks in their communities when given opportunities and the right methods.
The project embodies UNICEF's efforts in child-centered disaster risk reduction by putting children at the heart of the process.

hello my name is eco boy oh boy and I am
one of the u.p geography students who
worked with communities for a
child-centered project of UNICEF as part
of our Coors Field Rick our involvement
was about helping communities developed
three-dimensional hazard maps through
participatory approach or what we call a
speed EDM the process involved
mobilizing different members in sectors
of the communities including children
and making them work together to develop
a geographically accurate
three-dimensional scaled model of their
barangay village this scale model
identifies the location of houses
schools and other structures as well as
areas that have been affected by certain
hazards like floods or storm surge
together with RUP geography professors
we conducted p3 BM in several villages
in Camarena snorting a province which
lies along a typhoon belt it has an
important community activity especially
in the country as hazard Crone as the
Philippines children were involved in
every stage of the activity they helped
us establish baseline data and pointed
out the hazard prone areas such as
places where floods and landslides
happen they identify the capacities
available in their village to respond or
adapt to these hazards lecture about
structures that can be used as
evacuation centers they also identified
vulnerabilities like houses that are
made of light materials for households
with persons with disabilities young
people helped us in geo-tagging all
houses facilities and structures in
their communities using tablet computers
and global positioning system or GPS
units to plot the exact locations on the
Phoebe map it was like a mini town
fiesta in the village hall when we began
the process of creating the p3
all members of community young and old
wrecked hand in hand for over three days
to complete the map children were not
only learning they were also having fun
they began with tracing contour and
elevation lines cutting styrofoam boards
and covering them up with paper mache
children use staff time materials such
as pushpins to plot the houses schools
and other structures they use the yarn
of different colors to locate hazard
prone areas based on the community's
experience even the elderly joined in
making sure that all households are
accounted for and that their neighbors
were included in the map children who
participated in the development of p3 DM
presented and explained the final
products to three classmates and
teachers and also to adult members of
their communities including local
government officials it was easy to
explain and understand the symbols and
legends on the map because they were
based on local knowledge and
understanding of the community with the
map community members can better
understand the location and the risks
that are present and can plan
appropriate preparedness investigation
measures johani phenom ii don't know
slamming the dima p sama ka naman sila
angry fo para malaman de l'homme seen
what come on unemployment over money fo
da una vaca too long so funny halimbawa
poidem attempt owen sakana ala moana
making suckin tampoco se na
the Union small say pune kesari coming
there boo Alan Fernando in this activity
proved to me that given the
opportunities and with the right methods
and tools that allow children's
meaningful participation children can
play a vital role in reducing risks in
their communities that in a nutshell
embodies UNICEF's efforts and child
centered disaster risk reduction by
putting children at its heart
