Answer what being asked for.
Instruction:
1. Describe the geographic Profile of the Philippines. (20 points)

A democratic republic located in the Western Pacific Ocean, the Republic of the
Philippines is made up of the Philippine Islands and is the island group at the northernmost
part of the Malay Archipelago. The Philippine archipelago is made up of 7,107 islands;
favorably located in relation to many of Southeast Asia's main water bodies: The South
China Sea, Philippine Sea, Sulu Sea, Celebes Sea, and Luzon Strait. There are about 20
active volcanoes on the islands, and earthquakes are fairly common.

2. Identify the Philippine Disasters. (10 points)

Disasters in the Philippines: Astronomical phenomenon, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes,

typhoons, and extinctions.

3. Explain Philippine Disaster Reduction and Management Act (Ra 10121). (20 points)

RA 10121 provides a comprehensive, all-hazard, multi-sectoral, inter-agency, and

community-based approach to disaster risk management through the formulation of the
National Disaster Risk Management Framework.

A National Disaster Risk Management Plan (NDRMP) is being formulated, developed,

and implemented as the master plan that will provide the strategies, organization, tasks of
concerned agencies and local government units, and other guidelines in dealing with
disasters or emergencies. Through this plan, a coherent, integrated, efficient, and
responsive disaster risk management at all levels will hopefully be achieved.

4. Discuss the role of the youth in the Disaster Preparedness.

The more prepared you are, the safer and more comfortable you’ll be when the inevitable
happens. Depending on what natural disaster you face, where you live, who is part of
your family, and simple things like the weather will determine the supplies you need.
Being prepared matters. The reasons why being prepared is so important are virtually
limitless.

II. Essay

1. Explain the two categories of disaster and differentiate each.

Disasters can be classified into two basic categories based on their cause. Natural
disasters and man-made disasters are these two basic categories. Natural disasters are the
disasters caused by natural forces whereas man-made disasters are caused by activities of
human beings.

2. How can you actively participate in enhancing community preparedness during disasters
and calamities?

Hold a build-an-emergency-kit party. Invite citizens who do not have an emergency kit
come to an informational meeting. Engage the community in emergency preparedness.
Educating and engaging the community in emergency preparedness offers people an
opportunity to understand vulnerabilities and risks as well as the benefits of planning
ahead. Developing a hazard mitigation plan, engaging and educating the community
about disaster response, and forging mutual aid agreements all facilitate more rapid
response and recovery in the event of a crisis and improve your community’s disaster
preparedness.
