Check-in Activity 2.1

Answer these:

1. If your choice of applying protective measures is limited, which five specific

elements would you prioritize? Explain.

 Personal protective measures

PPE is equipment that will protect individuals against health or safety risks on
the job. The purpose is to reduce the exposure to hazards and to reduce the disasters
or risks to acceptable levels.

 Emergency preparedness

Being prepared will reduce the worries, anxieties, and losses that follow
disasters. People may also minimize the effect of disasters (e.g., flood proofing, raising
a house or moving a home away from damage, and securing objects that may shake
loose in an earthquake) and even fully escape risk.

 Protective measures for the community

Chronic stress associated with living in unsafe communities can accelerate aging
and damage health. Unsafe communities can cause anxiety, depression, and stress,
and a lot more. Fear of violence because of disasters or risks can keep people indoors,
away from neighbors, exercise, and healthy food.

 Measures for securing power source

Disasters can have adverse effect on human lives. The importance of access to
electricity and safe water cannot be over-emphasized in the aftermath of a disaster.
Alternative to electricity and water supplies for human use during and after a disaster
should be prepared.
  Measures to further improve safety

Improving safety performance and preventing further accidents is a challenge,

but it’s one that’s made much easier when individuals lend a hand to further prevent
more injuries and risks.

2. Name three places of exposure and disaster risk to flooding hazards in your
locality. Are you located in any of these places?

a. Tuguegarao
b. Lucena
c. Manila

Thankfully, I’m not located to any of these places. Cavite also experiences
flooding but not to extent of what other people from other city experiences.
