PROCEDURE OF IMPLEMENTATION:
I. PRE-DISASTER PHASE – Prevention
II. DISASTER PHASE – rescue
– relief
– medical
III. POST DISASTER PHASE – rehabilitation

1. PRE-DISASTER PHASE
The pre-disaster phase is the prevention aspect of the plan. This is also considered as the education/information
phase. The Barangay Government must see to it that all residents are aware of the different types of disasters, its
characteristics, warning signals or precautionary measures and its effects to lives and properties. The basic concept
underlying the pre-disaster phase is self-protection. It is the LGU’s responsibility to make certain that the
community knows how to react in an emergency. This is accomplished through organizing and training small groups
of residents and tapping existing government and private institution for the performance of specialized tasks.

Activities undertaken:
1. IEC on the types of disasters, its corresponding signals and warnings, mitigating circumstances, precautionary
measures and is effects. Contact persons and numbers are also disseminated during assemblies and meetings.
2. Trainings of selected community members on specified tasks during disaster and emergencies
3. Identification of prone areas of calamities
a. Fire
b. Flood
c. Earthquake
d. Terrorism/ Bombing
e. Landscape
4.Identification of contact people and number
5.Identification of Evacuation Centers
6.Identification of Healt Clinics and Hospitals

2. DISASTER PHASE
In an event of any disaster or emergency tapping the organized and trained individuals for specially assigned tasks is
the best course of action, this is the rescue, relief and medical service aspect of the plan. For each type of disaster or
emergency or for any area of concern, there is an organized team trained on each field of expertise. Each purok is
provided with a communication facility. Purok commanders, Purok Tanod Chief and members of the rescue team
are provided with such. These key communicators are strictly instructed to be on monitor 24 hours a day for
informations and instructions which they would disseminate to the workforce for action. In each area of concern,
there is an identified communication center to avoid overlapping of stations and commands, because it is a fact that
failure or delay of action is often caused by unclear and unspecific informations and instructions. These concerns are
classified as follows:
Rescue:
1. Police Work Augmentation – Barangay Police Chief
2. Traffic Concerns – Barangay Traffic Enforcers
3. Fire Concerns – Fire Brigade / Substations
4. Water Overflow, flood – San Isidro Rescue Team
5. Accident – All Sorts
Camen REScue Team
6. Drug related Concerns – Drugwatch Commander

The communication nerve center is at Barangay Hall. All information could be channeled thru a 24-hour operator
which would then forward all call to proper channels or commanders for individual concerns.

Evacuation is also part of the rescue operations. All purok of Guiwan I automatically become the responsibility of
their respective evacuation commander. The purok commander to which the disaster occurs automatically taps the
transport service leader and the security service team to facilitate the evacuation of victims to the Elementary School
School – or to the Multi Purpose Court who would then turn over the victims to the relief service leader.

Disaster relief Services are to be performed with the supervision of the Disaster Relief Service leader. Victims or
evacuees are to be properly accounted by them. They are responsible for the receipt of supplies like canned food,
clothing, medicines, household utensils and equipment needed for operation, material for temporary shelter and
others and distribute the same to the disaster victims. It is also their responsibility to inform the BDRRMC through
the Barangay Chairman of the status of disaster relief activities and they are also tasked to coordinate with other
relief agencies.
Medical operations:
This is performed by trained personnel/medical and first aid services in an emergency. A medical service leader
supervises this work. Aside from the medical team, the members of the rescue team also performs first aid
operations. The duties of the medical leader includes the following:
1. Supervise the selection of first aid or medical treatment areas in shelters and elsewhere.
2. Directs first aid and/or medical self-help operations and controlling access to medical supplies as required to
assure the proper use, conservation and availability for emergency use.
3. Maintain adequate sanitation and hygienic standards and other matters relating to emergency health, hygiene and
medical activities within the barangay during emergency
4. Inspecting the storage and handling of food and drinking water in shelter areas.
5. Should ascertain the stability of the victim and responsible to transport the same to the hospital should proper
medical attention is needed.
In case of victims who does not respond to first aid treatments, it is the responsibility of the medical service leader to
facilitate for he transport of the patient to the nearest hospital for proper medical attention.

3. POST-DISASTER PHASE
This is the part of the plan that would cater to the needs of the victims after the disaster. This is the rehabilitation
phase. The BDRRC will be on the look out for the provision of emergency shelter to the victims. The evacuation
centers provides immediate answer to this. In cases of total destruction of abode, the BDRRC chairman is
responsible in the recommendation of the victims to the city’s housing program or to help them.
