ACTIVITY 1.
1. What can you say about the picture? Describe it.
It’s quite stressful to the eye because the patterns and formation of
houses are scattered. I have negative thoughts about it.

2. What situation have you noticed to be disastrous?

The houses sunk in the water made me noticed it to be disastrous.
The flood made the houses at the lowest area sunken, the cluttered
surroundings, and the bad quality of shelters that should not be even
considered a home now. This situations and aspects made me noticed it to
be disastrous.

3. What hydrometeorological hazard was presented in the picture?

The hydrometeorological hazard present in the picture is flooding that
causes the people to be stranded in the area.

4. Based on what you have noticed and analyzed, what can you do to avoid this
situation?
To avoid this kind of situation to happen, we should immediately be
prepared before calamity occurs. We should follow and listen to the given
protocols of the authority. We should evacuate (if needed) to avoid being
stranded when a flood occur.

Additionally, we should also plant trees and avoid deforestation. This

is the first step to reduce the possibility of flooding. Prevention is better
than cure!
