Earthquake (also known as
Tsunami or tidal wave is a series of
a quake, tremor or temblor) is the
shaking of the surface of the Earth,
resulting from the sudden release of
energy in the Earth's lithosphere that
creates seismic waves
If an earthquake happens:
 If you are in a vehicle, pull over and stop.
Set your parking brake.
 If you are in bed, turn face down and
cover your head and neck with a pillow.
 If you are outdoors, stay outdoors away
from buildings.
 Do not get in a doorway.
 Do not panic.
A volcanic eruption occurs when hot
materials from the Earth's interior are
thrown out of a volcano. Lava, rocks,
dust, and gas compounds are some of
these "ejecta". Eruptions can come
from side branches or from the top of
the volcano.
A tropical cyclone is a rapidly
rotating storm system characterized
by a low-pressure center, a closed
low-level atmospheric
circulation, strong winds, and a spiral
arrangement of thunderstorms that
produce heavy rain or squalls.
waves in a water body caused by the
displacement of a large volume of
water, generally in an ocean or
a large lake.
If a Volcano Erupts in Your Area
• Evacuate only as recommended by authorities to
stay clear of lava, mud flows, and flying rocks and
debris.
• Avoid river areas and low-lying regions.
• Before you leave the house, change into long-
sleeved shirts and long pants and use goggles or
eyeglasses, not contacts. Wear an emergency mask
or hold a damp cloth over your face.
• If you are not evacuating, close windows and
doors and block chimneys and other vents, to
prevent ash from coming into the house.
• Be aware that ash may put excess weight on your
roof and need to be swept away. Wear protection
during cleanups.
• Ash can damage engines and metal parts, so avoid
driving. If you must drive, stay below 35 miles (56
kilometers) an hour.
Ways to cope:
 Plan your evacuation route well ahead of
time
 Keep non-perishable emergency supplies
on hand
 Take an inventory of your personal
property
 Review your insurance policies
 Take steps to protect your home

A tornado is a rapidly rotating column
of air that is in contact with both the
surface of the Earth and
a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare
cases, the base of a cumulus cloud.
The windstorm is often referred to as
a twister, whirlwind or cyclone
A storm surge, storm flood, tidal surge
or storm tide is a coastal flood or
tsunami-like phenomenon of rising
water commonly associated with low
pressure weather systems.
A landslide is defined as the
movement of a mass of rock, debris,
or earth down a slope. Landslides are
a type of "mass wasting," which
denotes any down-slope movement
of soil and rock under the direct
influence of gravity.
The South West Monsoon or Habagat
is a warm season with high winds and
heavy rains. Amihan refers to
the season dominated by the trade
winds, which are experienced in
the Philippines as a cool northeast
wind.[1] It is characterized by
moderate temperatures, little or no
rainfall, and a prevailing wind from
the east.
Ways to cope:
 Go to a safe room, basement, storm
cellar or the lowest building level
 Put as many walls as possible between
you and the storm outside; go to the
center of an interior room or hallway
 Get under a sturdy table and protect
your head
 Wear sturdy shoes and comfortable
clothing
 Do not open windows or doors
Ways to cope:
 Check your house and land for any
potential dangers related to flooding.
 Sandbags are a valuable tool to prevent
water from entering your home. This
approach requires specific instructions
from your local emergency officials.
 Learn how to turn off the gas and
electricity in your house.
 If you live in an area that is subject to
flooding, do not store your important
documents in the basement. Keep them
at a higher level
 Ensure that your family has an
emergency kit and plan.
 Ensure your emergency kit is portable, in
a back-pack or suitcase with wheels.
Ways to cope:
 Keep yourself alert and awake
 Listen to a local news station for updates
 Evacuate if it is safe to do so
 Be cautious and alert while driving
 Move to a second story, if possible
 Move out of the path of the landslide as
quickly as you can
 Avoid river valleys and other low areas.
Ways to cope:
 Watching current weather forecasts
on TV or the internet
 Listening to weather reports on the
radio or a NOAA weather radio
 Subscribing to lightning and severe
weather notification services
 Scanning the skies 360 degrees
around and overhead before leaving
a safe location
