Performance Task No. 1: DIFFERENTIATED PERFORMANCE TASK

You will be given three options for your final product. You only need to choose and make one.
The Philippines, because of its geographical location, is vulnerable to many types of natural disasters. It
is located at the western part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, a most active part of the earth characterized by an
ocean encircling belt of active volcanoes and earthquake generators.
In response to all these factors and conditions, you are to develop a strategy for disaster preparedness
and risk reduction for natural catastrophes that include volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and their resultant
effects like tsunamis specifically designed for Filipinos whether in the government and private sectors or
common citizens.
Your product will be evaluated based on:

 Content
 Planning and Organization
 Creativity
 Impact
Option 1: LOCAL DRRM (DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT) OFFICER
The West Valley Fault or formerly known as the Marikina Valley fault system stretches from the
Province of Bulacan to the Province of Laguna in the south traversing Metro Manila areas. This fault
poses a great danger because it cuts through all the modern and progressive portions of Manila. The
Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) warned Metro Manila residents of the
possible movement of the West Valley Fault that threatens the entire National Capital Region. (Source:

You are the Local DRRM officer of Muntinlupa City and tasked to ensure disaster preparedness this
year among public schools in the city. You are to create any of the following that will be used to
educate and train elementary and high school students in preparation for an earthquake so they will
know what to do before, during and after an earthquake.

 Demonstration video
 PowerPoint presentation
 Presentation using a Web 2.0 tool (e.g., www.emaze.com, www.prezi.com)
Option 2: PHIVOLCS SCIENCE RESEARCH SPECIALIST
Mayon Volcano recently erupted and has always been active. The eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991
caused damage to properties and the environment especially in Pampanga, Zambales and Tarlac. Hundreds of
people were killed and thousands were left homeless. There are also many other active and dormant
volcanoes in the Philippines.

 You are the Science Research Specialist of PHIVOLCS and scheduled to be interviewed in a national TV
program on the science behind volcanic eruptions and primarily on disaster preparedness and risk reduction.
You will prepare any of the following as your visual aid that will be shown to be viewers during the TV
interview.

 Flyer illustrating a Disaster Preparedness Kit

 Animated Video (e.g., Flash, Shockwave or www.powtoon.com)
 Comic Booklet or Digital Cartoon (e.g. www.toondoo.com)
Option 3: EMERGING MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST
As an Emergency Management Specialist trained overseas, you were hired by the Philippine
government to develop capacity-building activities at the barangay and municipal level to include
orientation on earthquake and tsunami concepts, familiarization of tsunami hazard maps and
preparation of tsunami evacuation plans.
Your first assignment is to conduct a training in Iloilo City. The participants for the training include LGU
members, Barangay Council, Coast Guard, and the Philippine army from coastal municipalities in
Western Visayas. You are to design a simple yet comprehensive and easy-to-understand training tool
that focuses on disaster preparedness, risk reduction, response and recovery plan for tsunamis. The
training tool may be created using any of the following formats.

 Brochure
 Video presentation of a collection of photos and videos from actual tsunamis that happened in
different countries, including pre-tsunami and post-tsunami events and activities
 Infographics in PDF using Canva (www.canva.com)
