INTRODUCTION
OBJECTIVES
In case you encounter difficulty, discuss this with your trainer during the face-
to-face meeting. If not contact your trainer through SMS or other mode of
communication.
Section 11. The creation of the national Service Reserve Corps – There is
hereby created a National service Reserve Corps, to be composed of the graduates of
the non-ROTC components. Members of this corps may be tapped by the state for
literacy and civic welfare activities through the joint effort of the DND, CHED and
TESDA
A national roster of ACDVs, National Service Reserve Corps, CSOs and the private
sector shall be maintained by the OCD through the LDRRMOs. Accreditation shall be
done at the municipal or city level.
H X R + V = DISASTER
The concept of disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) accepts that some
hazard events may occur may occur but tries to lessen the impact by developing the
community’s ability to absorb the impact with a lesser damage or destruction. The
Disaster Management Cycle is a traditional approach (Traditional Model/DM cycle) to
disaster management wherein disaster measure is regarded as a number of phase
sequences of action or a continuum. It aims to reduce the vulnerabilities in the
community. In addition, when sustained over long term, it reduces unacceptable risk
to acceptable levels and makes the community become disaster resistant or resilient.
This is presented as cycle.

Natural hazards:
astride typhoon belt, usually affected by 15 and struck by five to six cyclonic storms
each year; landslides; active volcanoes; destructive earthquakes; tsunamis
volcanism: significant volcanic activity; Taal (311 m), which has shown recent unrest
and may erupt in the near future, has been deemed a Decade Volcano by the
International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior, worthy
of study due to its explosive history and close proximity to human populations; Mayon
(2,462 m), the country's most active volcano, erupted in 2009 forcing over 33,000 to
be evacuated; other historically active volcanoes include Biliran, Babuyan Claro,
Bulusan, Camiguin, Camiguin de Babuyanes, Didicas, Iraya, Jolo, Kanlaon, Makaturing,
Musuan, Parker, Pinatubo, and Ragang. See “geography note2”
note 1: for decades, the Philippine archipelago was reported as having 7,107
islands; in 2016, the national mapping authority reported that hundreds of new islands
had been discovered and increased the number of islands to 7,641 - though not all of
the new islands have been verified; the country is favorably located in relation to
many of Southeast Asia's main water bodies: the South China Sea, Philippine Sea, Sulu
Sea, Celebes Sea, and Luzon Strait
note 3: the Philippines sits astride the Pacific typhoon belt and an average of 9
to 20 typhoons make landfall on the islands each year - with about 5 of these being
destructive; the country is the most exposed in the world to tropical storms.
YOUR IDEA
LEARNING ACTIVITY
Make a topographical map of your barangay and using color as legend to identify the
hazard.
The Philippines’ National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan (NDRRMP) is a
road map on how DRRM shall contribute to gender-responsive and rights-based
sustainable development. It shall promote inclusive growth, build the adaptive
capacities of communities, increase the resilience of vulnerable sectors, and optimize
disaster mitigation opportunities with the end in view of promoting people’s welfare
and security.

A. Visit your Barangay Hall and have a copy of their Disaster Management
System and implementation.
Barangay Description:
All able-bodied young citizen of the land should get themselves involved in civic
actions in the community where she/he lives and should be ready to render assistance
anywhere and anytime their service is needed. More than anything else, it is
everybody’s moral obligation to assist her/his countrymen in distress.
In times of natural calamities or manmade disorders, the youth must be willing and
ready to render direct assistance to calamity victims in any of the following areas:
Sorting, loading and distribution of relief goods
Administering first aid treatment on victims
Comforting and assisting in their rehabilitation
Disseminating information to concerned individual
Surveying of affected families and areas
Monitoring and liaising work
Civic action activities like environmental and ecological
protection, river and watershed control projects and tree
planting/forest fire control
The concerned youth development agencies should establish coordination and linkages
to be set up before, during and after every disaster. The leadership in the youth
development agencies in order to succeed in their chosen endeavor should:
1. Strategize the chosen activities ahead before any calamity strikes. Join or
participate in training exercise on disaster and relief operation.
2. See to it that the resources that are available could meet the needs of
chosen activities.
3. Coordinate all activities properly with the City, Provincial and Municipal
Disaster Coordinator Councils.
4. Organize the groups. Assign the members’ responsibilities which they feel
they can properly handle confidence in what is one is doing is the key to
success.
5. Work as a team. Coordinate efforts with other organizations. ( NGO. PO,
LGU or religious organizations)
6. Take a possible documentation for recording, filling and future use.
(pertinent papers, pictures, receipt etc)
LEARNING ACTIVITY
A. As a youth of today, give five ways and means in creating a safer world.
You have learned module III with its four (4) lessons and it encompassed the general
concepts of Disaster Awareness Preparedness and Management.
In Lesson 1, you have learned the Disaster Risk reduction and management
along with concepts, principles and trends as shown and reflected to RA10121; Lesson
2 discuss and identify the disaster geographic and risk profile of the Philippines;
Lesson 3 discuss and described the four thematic areas of the Philippine Disaster
Management and finally Lesson 4 introduced the role of the youth in disaster
preparedness and management.
Congratulations! You have just studied Module III . now you are ready to
evaluate how much you have benefited from your reading by answering the
