REFLECTION PAPER

“ SYMPOSIUM ON DISASTER PREPAREDNESS OF COASTAL AREA “

A symposium was conducted on MAY 19, 2022 at the Covered Court of Maloro Tangub City that
started at 8: AM on this date. The invited guest/ resource speakers are Mr. Anthony Abing and
Ma'am Hanelyn P. Villegas, were they share and impart their knowledge and information about
the disaster to us students. There should be a conduct of trainings , seminars to be prepared if
there is any disaster that would come. First is that the differences and meaning of the hazards,
disaster, vulnerable, capacities and others. Based on what I can remember, disaster means that
it is preventable and it is based on the nature. Examples of disaster are the following: typhoons,
landslide, flashfloods, fire etc. We need to address the issues of disaster here in our country for
us to have the warning, signal and even for all of us in our country to know how and what to do
to prevent things to happen. Preventing things can be sometimes possible but also impossible
because of the other things that other people do for the certain problem to be big and
sometimes can’t be lessen. Addressing those issues is a big help because other people are not
certain or the do not know what to do if those disasters are already facing them. Also when we
address the issue of disaster in our country, it is possible and there is a big chance of having a
great results; like people will be more prepared and they already know what they will do and
there is a big big chance of saving many lives because of the early addressing of the disaster
here in our country.

As a student, the actions that will do to address the different vulnerabilities in our own
community is that I will try to do my best to help in the projects or plan of the barangay. I will
also try not to be shy to express what I want to say and what I want them to know because I
know that it’s also for their own safety and their family. Also if I speak out I know that the
knowledge and works I will say will give them ideas or simply knowledge in that certain matter.
The best time to address issues if the Disaster Risk Reduction Management is, there is no such
thing as the best time because anytime is always the right time. And also ALL of US should be
involved in addressing these issue because everyone has the responsibility to remind people
around us what things and ways they should do for them to be safe.
