All advisers shall explain the homework to their students during
homeroom and guidance session using the appropriate set of
questionnaires based on the grade level and medium of instruction; and
School heads shall organize a special meeting with parents to discuss
this homework for maximum participation.

II. Processing of Responses to the Family Earthquake Preparedness

Quest ion n a ire
Upon submission ofthe questionnaire, the adviser shall discuss with the
students their family's responses; and
Then, all advisers shall tabulate and summarize the answers on the
family assessment question only.

A. Before an earthquake

Question Discussion Points

a. Do we know the emergency
numbers and contact details of
the local fire department, police,
hospitals and barangay officials?
b. Do we all know where the nearest
safe evacuation area from our
house is in the event ofan
earthquake?
c. Do we all know the earthquake
evacuation plan at our
school/ workplace?
d. Do we know how to evacuate
infants/children, persons with
disabilities, and/or the elderly in
our house?
e. Do all family members know the
initial response during an
earthquake (Duck-Cover-Hold)?
With possible effects ofearthquakes to
lives and property, it is important that all
family members know all the relevant
offices and authorities that could provide
the necessary assistance.
All family members should be familiar with
possible evacuation areas to properly guide
each one where they should head to in the
event ofan earthquake.
Since family members are not always
together, it is important that each one
knows about the evacuation plan.
Children and their families should be
aware that other people have particular
vulnerabilities that should be considered
during evacuation.
Duck-Hold-Cover (DCH) as an in itial
response during earthquakes should be
practiced in different contexts, especially in
areas without tables or any stable
furniture to stay under.

g. Are heavy furniture, cupboards,
and other heavy appliances
strapped/ bolted to the
walls/ floor?
h. Do we store food and drinking
water for possible earthquakes?
i. Do we all know ifwe are near any
body ofwater? E.g. lake, sea, river
j. As a result ofan earthquake, do
we all know ifwe are vulnerable to
possible tsunamis?
B. During an earthquake and initial shaking
Question
a. Ifthe earthquake happens while
travelling, what will be our initial
response?
b. Ifthe earthquake happens while
at home, what will be our initial
response?
c. Ifthe earthquake happens while
at home, how do we proceed with
the evacuation?
d. Ifthe earthquake happens while
travelling, where do we meet?
e. Ifsomeone in the family or
someone who lives with us is
injured, what should be our initial
response?
f. Ifwe are trapped inside the house,
what do we do?
g. Ifthe designated evacuation area
is damaged, where is our
alternative?
collapse, tsunami, liquefaction, fire and/ or
landslides. For families residing near
bodies ofwater, preparedness on these
possible related hazards should also be
considered in their respective
preparedness plan.
While not all families have the capacity to
store food and drinking water, awareness
on this remains important for schools to
identify student's concerns that may arise
in times ofdisasters.
It should be discussed with the students
that an earthquake could result to other
hazards such as ground shaking, building
collapse, tsunami, liquefaction, fire and/ or
landslides. For families residing near
bodies ofwater, preparedness on these
possible related hazards should also be
considered in their respective
preparedness plan.
Discussion Point
Duck-Hoid-Cover (DCH)as an initial
response during earthquakes should be
practiced in different contexts, especially in
areas without tables or any stable
furniture to stay under. With or without
family members, families should be aware
on what to do during an earthquake
Families should be aware ofthe proper
evacuation procedures to avoid possible
injuries due ground shaking, fire, building
collapse and among others.
Agreeing on where to meet gives a sense of
direction among fam ily members during an
earthquake. This cou ld ease the fear and
tension brought about by the shaking.
In case no one among family members are
knowledgeable in applying first aid, they
should at least know how to stabilize the
injured person and seek proper assistance
from authorities.
Panic could result to inability to think
during emergencies, thus it is important
for families to build scenarios in the event
ofan earthquake, and being trapped inside
could be one ofthem. This should allow
them to discuss possible strategies to get
out oftheir houses or identify ways to
avoid being trapped.
All family members should be familiar with
possible evacuation areas to properly guide
each one in the event ofan earthquake.
 place?

h. If com m tin ication is down, how Reducing panic is imperative during

long are we going to wait for each emergencies, and having an agreement
other at the designated meeting with family members as to where and
length of waiting time contribute to this.

C. After an earthquake and initial shaking

Question Discussion Point

a. Do we know the contact numbers
ofpersons in our household?
b. Do we know when to evacuate?
c. Do we know that we should not go
back to our homes/buildings due
to possible effects ofaftershocks?
d. Are we prepared for possible
effects ofaftershocks such as
fires, further damage to
house/ building?
e. Is our home free ofpossible fire-
triggers after an earthquake?
f. Ifwe are vulnerable to tsunamis,
do we know how to properly
evacuate?
g. Do we know how to preserve or
keep food safe after an
earthquake?
h. Do we know from whom we can
get accurate and credible
data/ information so as not to
contribute to false rumors which
may cause panic, etc.?
In case the earthquake happens while
family members are at the workplace,
school or travelling, each member should
be able to recall or list down at least one
number.
Fam ilies should be aware ofthe proper
evacuation procedures to avoid possible
injuries due to ground shaking, fire,
building collapse and among others.
It should be discussed with the students
that an earthquake could result to other
hazards such as ground shaking, building
collapse, tsunami, liquefaction, fire and/ or
landslides. For families residing near
bodies ofwater, preparedness on these
possible related hazards should also be
considered in their respective
preparedness plan.
While some families may not be able to
store food for possible occurrence of
earthquakes, an alternative strategy is for
them to learn food preservation as a
survival mechanism.
Accurate information is crucial during
disasters and/ or emergencies. Each family
member should be able to identify reliable
sources ofinformation for proper guidance.
