Activity 3:
Knowing that a disaster disturbs the usual pattern of life and can cause both physical
and emotional harm among people, how would you ensure that you are prepared to
face the possible effects of ANY disaster that you may encounter in life?
I can ensure that I am prepared to face the possible effects of any disaster that i
may encounter in my life by; Identifying the risks, creating family disaster plans,
building or buying disaster supply kits, preparing the needs of the children or the
elders, Learn rescuing skills like cpr or first aid, and eliminating potential hazards
inside our house.

Activity 4:
Directions: Consider yourself as a friend to the following people. Given their
situations and the fact that they are suffering from a previous disaster, state the
impact / effects of the disasters they are experiencing and what tips, advice or words
can you give them to help them recover?

1. Dale Marc is a 16-year-old student. He lives in Taal, Batangas, together with

his family. Fishing is their primary source of income. They found out that the Taal
volcano had erupted. What are the possible effects of this condition on their family,
and what advice are you going to give him?

When the Taal Volcano erupts in the water or ocean of Taal Batangas, I'll encourage Dale
to leave the region forever. The fish will perish as a result of the volcanic explosion, and
Dale's family will be unable to catch fish and earn money. As a result, it is best for their
health and survival to relocate permanently out of that place. After He moved out of the
neighborhood, I will suggest Dale to start a new business so that they can have financial
stability.

2. Anna is a primary school teacher in Cainta, Rizal. She used to be the mother of two
beautiful children. Their community was hit by a Super Typhoon submerging and
washed away their homes and properties. It is noticeably clear to her mind how her
two children tried to hold their hands tightly, but their hands slipped away. What
would be the potential effects of the Super Typhoon teacher Anna is experiencing?
How do you think can she be helped in coping up from the tragedy?

I will give Teacher Anna emotional and financial assistance. Assistance in the
search for her kid might also be provided to give her peace of mind. It's possible
that her house may be washed away, leading them to lose their home. Her two
children may have suffered injuries as a result of the flood, and their valuables may
have been washed away. She won't be able to return to work right soon since
schools may have been washed away or damaged as well. It's probable that their
home and possessions were all wiped away as a result of the hurricane. Schools
may be damaged, leading lessons to be suspended. Her children may have also had
injuries as a result of being swept away.
Activity 5:

political, and biological.
3. Create a table similar to the example given below and answer the questions that
