❖ Typhoon or Tropical Storm
-A tropical cyclone that forms and occurs in
the northwestern Pacific or Indian oceans.
❖ Flood
-an overflow or accumulation of an
expanse of water that submerges land. In the
sense of "flowing water", the term may also be
used to describe the inflow of the tide. Flooding
may result from the volume of water within a body
of water, such as a river or lake, which overflows
or breaks levees, with the result that some of the
water escapes its usual boundaries.
Safety Tips during Storm/Typhoon and Floods
1. Remain calm and stay indoors.
2. Stay tuned in to radios and televisions for the
latest weather report.
3. Cut off the branches of trees that might hit or fall
onto your house, and those that are touching the
power lines.
4. Remove all obstacles on the road to pave the
way for emergency vehicles.
5. If your house is in a flood-prone area, flee to the
nearest evacuation center.
6. Prepare a flashlight and a portable radio with
new batteries
7. Stock enough supplies of canned goods, flood,
potable water, fuel, batteries, and keep a first aid
kit.
8. Turn off the main power safety switch and water
valve if there’s a flood.
9. Carry and transfer your home appliances and all
your important documents to a higher place to
prevent floodwaters from reaching it.
10. Avoid low lying areas, riverbanks, creeks,
mountain sides, hill sides and ravines. Heavy
downpour can cause landslides, mudslides or
rockslides.
11. Do not wade in the floods nor cross a raging
river.
12. Do not use electrical appliances or gas stoves
which were submerged in flood water.
13. If there’s a need to proceed to the evacuation
area, do the following:
a. Close all the windows and lock all the
doors of your house.
b. Make sure to switch off the main circuit
breaker or fuse box.
c. Close the valve of the liquefied petroleum
gas cylinder.
d. Elevate all the important documents,
things, and possessions.

- Basic needs of infants, elderly or physically
challenged people
- Potable water in a sealed container
- Enough cash and loose change

personal belongings
❖ Volcanic Eruption
-refers to the release of gas, ash, molten
materials or hot water into the atmosphere or
onto the Earth's surface from a volcano or other
opening in the Earth's surface.
1. If you reside in an area near a volcano, you
are in danger of pyroclastic flows, lahar, and
ash fall.
2. There are maps that can show the areas
that are not safe. You can obtain this
information from the concerned
government agencies. Follow their advices
and warnings; these can save lives.
3. Do not live or stay in the danger zones
declared by the NDCC. Stay away from
rivers where lava and other volcanic
materials might flow through.
4. If there’s an ash fall, cover your nose with a
damp cloth. This can filter particles while
you breathe.
5. Remove the accumulated ashes from your
roof to prevent it from collapsing.
6. If you are driving or inside a moving vehicle,
stop and find a covered and safe place.
7. If your area is in danger of lahar flow, flee
to a higher ground or go to the nearest
evacuation center.
❖ Tsunami
- 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
❖ Earthquake
- 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
- Dock, Cover, and Hold
Fire Situation
- 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
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.
❖ Bomb Threat Situation
Bomb - This device is either factory-made or
homemade. It contains incendiary or explosive
substances that are used to create fire, shock,
heat and gas to cause extensive damage to the
target and even individuals. Bomb chooses no one.
Bomb threat – It is a piece of information or a
warning claiming knowledge that a dangerous

other facility.
Safety Measures during a Bomb Threat Situation
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;

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 widespread area
that usually affecting a large volume of people.
Community Quarantine – As a safety measure to
limit the spread of the Coronavirus, the
government issued different types/classification of
Community Quarantine.
a. Enhance Community Quarantine (ECQ) - Local
populace under an ECQ are generally ordered to
stay at home, with its residents restricted from
traveling to other cities or barangays. The
LGU/Barangay Unit can issue quarantine passes to
allow one representative per family to buy
essential goods outside curfew hours and within
the issuing authority’s jurisdiction.
b. General Community Quarantine (GCQ) - It is
considered more lenient than ECQ. Public
transportation is allowed at a reduced capacity
and select businesses are allowed to operate at 50
to 100 percent of their regular capacity depending
on their industry.
c. Other Measures - The following are the
additional types of community quarantine
measures that may be imposed by the Authority
depending on their situation.
● Extensive/Extreme Enhanced Community
Quarantine (EECQ)
● Modified Enhance Community Quarantine
(MECQ)
● Modified General Community Quarantine
(MGCQ)
● Total or Special Concern Lockdown
● New Normal
●
Safety Tips against COVID-19 Virus
