1. Make a reflection paper on how are you going to respond in an emergency situations such as typhoon
and flood, volcanic eruption and earthquake, attached videoclips/ links and react on it.

It has been discussed on how to bring this to national and local planning plans and strategies as we speak
about incorporating disaster risk mitigation into development practices. Although development plans are
critical for reducing disaster risk, education starts with true mainstreaming. Reducing disasters is ultimately
related to human actions. It is of utmost importance, however to generate activities at the individual level,
family level, and community level within the enabling atmosphere. Training is the first and foremost tool for
doing this. We should understand disaster management in order to avoid disasters. Locality and processes.
We can learn about the town from the mechanism and culture from school lectures. Surviving a typhoon is
everyone’s responsibility. Making sure our household members, our students and teachers, and our
neighbours will survive the storm is a year-round task. It is not a task that can be done in just 24 hours, so
we should start making preparations in advance! Our strategy should be to maintain a state of constant
preparedness for typhoons. A disaster supplies kit is a collection of basic items that members of a
household may need in the event of a disaster. Just as important as putting your supplies together is
maintaining them so they are safe to use when needed. In a dry location where the temperature is cool,
store non-perishable food in tightly closed plastic or metal containers to protect it from pests and prolong its
shelf life. Before they go poor, use the food and substitute it with fresh supplies. Re-think your needs every
quarter and update your kit as your family needs change.
Most people can't understand the force of the wind if you tell them it’s at 200 kilometers an hour (super
typhoon wind). But hearing survivors tell their own stories will hopefully bring home the harsh realities of
typhoons to those who haven't experienced them. After years with no catastrophic typhoons, the horrors of
previous disasters begin fading in memory. Disaster preparedness officials face the challenge of
impressing upon residents the importance of taking typhoons seriously and being prepared. Stories help
get the point across. Typhoons kill people. Want to be dead? Stories are attention getting. Their fear factor
usually has the desired effect.
