ACTIVITY 2

1. Choose three elements from each of the four physical

elements listed above. Take note of the location of the
items you have chosen in your community. Which of this
can be affected in case of:
1. A large magnitude earthquake
 Industrial and High potential Loss
facilities and facilities containing hazardous
materials - Power (electric) generating
plants and lines
 Essential Facilities - Educational
facilities
 Essential Facilities - Medical and health
care facilities ( hospitals, clinics)

2. Flooding due to river flow

Industrial and High potential Loss facilities and
facilities containing hazardous materials -
Food processing facilities
Industrial and High potential Loss facilities and
facilities containing hazardous materials -
Dams and ponds
Essential Facilities - educational facilities

2. Analyze the possible consequences of these hazard

events to the physical elements you chose. Examples of
consequences are:
 Total or partial building collapse
 Structural damage
 Loss of electric power
 Communication lines down
 Ruptured gas pipes
  Water lines damage
 Explosion

A large magnitude earthquake

 Power (electric) Destroy critical power

generating plants and lines infrastructure and result in
outages

 Educational facilities Structural damage

 Medical and health care Structural damage

facilities ( hospitals, clinics)

Flooding due to river flow

Food processing facilities Loss of Livelihood

 Dams and ponds Dam failures caused by floods

 Educational Facilities Destruction of school materials

3. Analyze the potential human impact (possible death or

injury ) for each consequence you have listed.

Destroy critical power Damage to infrastructures and

infrastructure and result in transmission towers to fail and
outages cause fire

Structural damage Neighboring buildings might be

affected and to the people
 surround it

Structural damage Employees, patients, or people

might be in danger inside of
the building

Loss of Livelihood Prolonged economic impacts

and types of suffering can
trigger mass migration or
population displacements

Dam failures caused by floods May cause extreme flooding

that can risk, include loss of
human life, and deterioration
of helth condition owing to
waterborne diseases

Destruction of school materials Adverse effects of teachers at

home and in school
