pandemics/epidemics, volcanic
eruption, terrorist attack, climate
change, etc.
The Philippine Archipelago occupies the western rim of the Pacific
Ocean (Western Segment of the Pacific Ring / Rim of Fire), a most active
part of the earth that is characterized by an ocean-encircling belt of active
volcanoes and earthquake generators (fault lines).

Science has not yet
developed a foolproof
device to detect
earthquakes, and the best
time to prepare for the
worst is NOW.
Practical
preparations and

JUST REMEMBER THE
4 PS
1. PREDICT
2. PLAN
3. PREPARE
4. PRACTICE
PREDICT
Know the hazards and threats that
could potentially harm or kill you when
it happens.
Know the resources available
in your community.
PLAN
FAMILY COMMUNICATION
Your family may not be together
when disaster strikes, so plan
how you will contact one another.
Think about how you will
communicate in different
situations
Your plan should include:

How you will get to a safe place
How you will contact one another
How you will get back together
What you will do in different
situations


Teach family members how to use
text messaging (also known as SMS or
Short Message Service). Text
messages can often get around
network disruptions when a phone
call might not be able to get through.

Designate an area to meet with family
members in case communication is out
of the equation.
Create your specific family
evacuation plan for each hazard.
Each family member should be aware
of the evacuation plan.

Some Tips on How to Enhance Survivability
If Trapped Under Rubble / Debris
Trapped Under Debris
Avoid unnecessary movement
so that you dont kick up dust.

Maintain moral and fighting
spirits high.

Periodically move your fingers
and toes to ensure blood
circulation.

Trapped Under Debris
Cover your Mouth and
Nose with anything you have
on hand.

Try to breath through the
available Cotton material.
Trapped Under Debris
Do not shout; shout only as
a last resort.

Note : Shout can cause a person
to inhale dangerous amounts of
dust.
Trapped Under Debris
Tap on a pipe or wall so that rescuers
can hear where you are.

If available use a flashlight to signal
your location.

Food for Thought
How serious do you consider the threats
of disasters in the country and your
community?
How committed are you to prepare?
Is poverty or lack of funds a good reason
not to prepare?
Would you rather be safe or sorry?
Its better to have it and
not need it, than need it
and not have it.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
THANK YOU!
