environmental dimensions; and the evaluation
of the effectiveness of prevailing and alternative

susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard.
Vulnerability may arise from various physical,
social, economic, and environmental factors
such as poor design and construction of
buildings, inadequate protection of assets, lack
of public information and awareness, limited
official recognition of risks and preparedness
measures, and disregard for wise environmental

TSUNAMI
is a series of ocean waves generated by sudden displacements in the sea
floor, landslides, or volcanic activity. It is derived from the Japanese terms
“tsu” and “nami” which means “harbor wave” when translated literally. In
the deep ocean, the tsunami wave may only be a few inches high. The
tsunami wave may come gently ashore or may increase in height to become
a fast moving wall of turbulent water several meters high. Sometimes,
tsunamis are also called tidal waves.
Safety Tips during Tsunami
1. A strong earthquake can cause a tsunami. Do not stay in a low lying area
or near the sea shore. A tsunami can strike a few minutes after an
earthquake.
2. A warning of a possible tsunami is brought about by an unusual receding
of sea water or unusual change in the sea level.
3. If the sea water receded, you can find some sea creatures lying on the
seashore. Do not be tempted to pick them up. Always remember that the
waves can return quickly and can wash you away.
4. A tsunami is usually accompanied by strange sounds. Always be aware
of these kinds of sounds.
5. Flee to a higher ground and wait until it’s safe to return.
1. Treat all threats received as real and report immediately to authorities.
2. Remain calm and courteous.
3. As much as possible, try to obtain as much information such as:
• the identity of the caller;
• the characteristics of the caller;
• ask the exact location of the bomb;
• apply delaying tactics; and
• report all details to a responsible person immediately.
PANDEMIC SITUATION
Pandemic – An outbreak/epidemic of a disease occurring worldwide, or in
a very wide spread area that usually affecting a large volume of people.
Covid19 Virus – The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious
disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. It was reported as a
pneumonia outbreak started in December 2019 at Wuhan China, and given
an interim name of 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) by the World
Health Organization (WHO). Most people infected with this virus will
experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and may result to severe
cases if complications arise. The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily
through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected
person coughs or sneezes.

EARTHQUAKE Safety Tips against Covid19Virus

-characterized by a weak to violent shaking of the ground caused by the
sudden release of stored energy beneath the earth’s surface known as the
lithosphere. This sudden release of energy generates seismic waves that
cause massive vibrations. The spot underground where the earthquake
started is called the focus or hypocenter, while the point on the surface or
top of the ground right above the focus is called the epicenter.
Safety Tips during Earthquake
The “Drop, Cover and Hold” protocol (drop to the floor, cover your head,
and hold on to a solid object), when performed correctly with an awareness
of your surroundings, remains the most effective way to protect yourself
when an earthquake occurs.
FIRE
-is the rapid oxidation of a material in the chemical process of combustion,
releasing heat, light, and various reaction products. Slower oxidative
processes such as rusting or digestion are not considered part of this
definition.
How to Evacuate from a burning building
· Keep your hands clean through washing frequently using soap and
water or using alcohol-based hand rub to keep your hands clean.
· Maintain social distancing for about 1 to 2 meters.
· Wear a mask
· Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
· Cover your nose and mouth with your bent elbow or a tissue when you
cough or sneeze.
· If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical
attention.
· Obey all rules and regulation imposed by the authority.
· Stay at home if possible.
REPUBLIC ACT NO. 9372
HUMAN SECURITY ACT OF 2007

1. Swiftly abandon a burning building. Fire can spread quickly.

2. Do not panic; try to stay calm at all times.

3. Proceed to the nearest emergency exit.

4. If you are in a room, try to feel if the door is hot. Never open it if it is
hot, instead, put a wet cloth in the gap between the door and the floor to
prevent the smoke from entering the room. Find an alternative exit.

5. You can tie blankets and bed sheets together, then use it as a rope in
getting out of a burning building.

6. You can escape from a smoke-filled room by crawling out to the

nearest exit.

7. Cover your nose and mouth with a damp cloth. This can help you
breathe through the thick smoke while crawling out of the building.
