ACTIVITY 1.4: AM I READY?
Good day to each one of us, I’m so grateful to have a chance like this to speak in front of you
especially to my fellow students and thanks a lot Mr. Sk Chairman for inviting me as a speaker
to this event. So today I’ll be tackling about Disasters, do you know what is Disaster? Well a
Disaster is a serious disruption occurring over a short or long period of time that causes
widespread human, material, economic or environmental loss which exceeds the ability of the
affected community or society to cope using its own resources. Although awareness, education,
preparedness, and prediction and warning systems can reduce the disruptive impacts of
a natural disaster on communities. Mitigation measures such as adoption of zoning, land-use
practices, and building codes are needed, however, to prevent or reduce actual damage
from hazards that’s why being informed about upcoming disasters can save your life and even
the ones you love.
How to stay safe during a natural disaster
To keep you and your family safe during a natural disaster, these preparedness safety tips can
prevent injuries and make the difference in an emergency: Stay informed. Tune in to local
authorities for information about evacuations and safety tips. Have a plan for evacuation. Know
where you will go during a natural disaster and how you will get there. Keep emergency kits on
hand. Stock kits with flashlights, batteries, first aid supplies, and important identification
information. Avoid unnecessary risks. Do not leave your home unless instructed to do so. Go to
the safest area in your home. During a flood, go to a higher floor. If a tornado is in the area, go
to a basement or inner room on the bottom floor of your home.
