MESSAGE
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management is every one’s concern and
responsibility. The approach is a multi- sectoral partnership since nobody is exempted
by the devastating effect of these natural hazards.
Natural hazards such as typhoon, fire, landslide, earthquake and storm surge to
name a few, have been part of our daily living considering that natural calamity is
endemic in our geographic location.
This plan aims to enhance the capacity of the Municipal Government of
Abucay, Bataan thru the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council
that will serve as basis for our future projects, programs and activities which will
empower our local government and capacitate all Abukeños to prepare, respond and
recover in any calamity or disasters.
As your Local Executive Chief, I am encouraging our community to help the
local government unit in conservation of our environment to mitigate the effects of
these hazards on our community especially now that global warming is on a very
alarming stage. Utilization of this Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Plan 2019-2022 will be more effective and successful through
coordination, cooperation, collaboration and working hand in hand of all Abukeńos.
God bless us and let us all be prepared ABUKEÑOS.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Municipality of Abucay, Bataan, is one of the coastal areas in the Province of Bataan a
naturally gifted with very rich coastal resources. The fisher folk have been enjoying bountiful harvest
from their municipal waters even just after three to four hours of fishing.
The municipality is always facing the challenges of natural hazards such typhoons and
monsoon winds, which frequently affects not only the municipality of Abucay but the entire
Province of Bataan. The type of monsoon winds that regularly hits Abucay is the South-West
Monsoon during the month of November – December. Monsoon rains that induced flooding and
usually typhoons devastated the agriculture and fishery resources of the municipality as well as the
houses and other infrastructure and lifeline services of the municipality. Aside from the direct effect
of strong winds of the typhoon and big waves of the monsoon winds, it produces also a huge amount
of rainfalls to sea waters that causes floods to low lying areas of the municipality.
The continued occurrences of these natural hazards increases the vulnerabilities of the
communities that put them into an endless poverty situation due to damages of properties and
devastation to their livelihoods, and sometime leads to loss of life. Taking the opportunity that
Disaster Risk Reduction is nowadays a global concern particularly to the coastal municipality,
started the process of conducting barangay based community risk assessment, barangay contingency
planning and community drill and series of community awareness seminars on disaster risk reduction
and climate change adaptation to generate supports and encouragement among barangay officials
and communities to formulate a 3-Year Comprehensive Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Plan.
Abucay Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan will serve as a guide in
the implementation of a proactive Disaster Risk Reduction Programs that emphasizes the five pillars
called: 1) Governance by making disaster risk reduction a priority agenda for sustainable
development; 2) Risk assessment by improving risk information and early warning; 3) Knowledge
and Education through building culture of safety and resiliency among vulnerable communities; 4)
Vulnerability Reduction by reducing the risks of Key sectors; and 5) Disaster Preparedness and
Response for timely and effective response mechanism. These Five Pillars of Disaster Risk
Reduction of Abucay to have a “zero casualty and no injury every time hazard occurred”.

A. ECOLOGICAL PROFILE
Population
Abucay was the site of the infamous massacre of 400 Pampangos who fought against the Dutch
invaders on June 23, 1647. This town witnessed the courage and heroism of our countrymen who
resisted against the Spaniards, the dutch, the Americans, and the Japanese colonizers.Movable
wooden press blocks was taken within the church of Abucay to be the first printing press in the
country and is refuted to be older than any other single press in the United States. Tomas Pinpin, a
native of Abucay, who grew up under the tutelage of the Dominican priest in the convent, learned
the rudiments of printing from Fray Francisco Blanca de San Jose and Juan de Vera, a Chinese
printer at the University of Santo Tomas. Pinpin is undoubtedly the first Filipino printer.
Abucay has a total area of 10,686 ha covering both land and water jurisdiction. The land area
of is 7,970 ha or about 5.8% of the total land area of Bataan and the municipal water area is 2,716.
Forty – four percent of the total area is ideal for habitation, lowland, rice cultivation, orchard,
livestock, and fish farming. A secondary forest covers the western portion, comprising nearly 38%
of Abucay’s land area. The forest is part of the Bataan Natural Park, a declared protected area under
the National Integrated Protected Area System Law.

SOCIAL SERVICES (Housing, Education and Health)
On social services, the municipality caters eleven (11) accessible, strategically placed Barangay
Health Stations and one (1) main Rural Health Unit with birthing facility.
The Abucay Rural Health Unit provides all the priority government health services for the
municipality. It has been accredited by Philhealth to provide Primary Care Benefit, Maternity Care
Package, TB DOTS package and Malaria Package. In partnership with the University of Sto. Tomas,
it also provides rehabilitation services including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech
and language pathology for the people of Abucay and nearby municipalities.
In terms of education, the Municipality of Abucay consists of twelve (12) public elementary
school namely , Tomas Pinpin Memorial Elementary School as the central school, Abucay North
Elementary School, Mabatang Elementary School, Capitangan Elementary School, Wawa
Elementary School, Jose Abejar Elementary School, Pelagio Rubiano Elementary School,
Kabukiran Eementary School, Hacienda Elementary School, Bangkal Elementary School , Salian

It has (3) three National High School, Bonifacio Camacho National High School, Bonifacio
Camacho National High School – Senior High School and Mabatang National High School.
Moreover, tertiary education is provided by the Abucay Campus of the lone university in the
province, Bataan Peninsula State University.
Other learning Institution is San Juan De Letran College. Alternative Learning System is very
active in Abucay.
Complementing social services is the housing sector, the municipality had already provided sixty
(60) relocation houses for indigent families. However, the continuous increase in population put
pressure on the municipality to provide housing for low income earners and most especially the
informal settlers living in critical areas.
17
Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan
THE LOCAL ECONOMY OF ABUCAY
Abucay is one of six (6) towns in the province of Bataan that offers a
unique eco-tourism attraction. It is home to one of the popular hiking
destination in the country called “the Pasukulan Falls”, and several
resorts for friends and family recreations especially its own natural-
water spring resort known to be the “Sibul Spring”. It is also known
for its famous four-century old St. Dominic Parish Church.
The municipality of Abucay is endowed with natural resources, rich
culture, human resources, institutional facilities that provide access by the people to social services,
and proximately to modern commercial and trade facilities and potentials to boosts progress. It is a
home of two (2) distinct institutions, the San Juan De Letran, situated at Brgy. Gabon, Abucay,
Bataan and Bataan Peninsula State University, (BPSU) Abucay Campus (Agriculture Campus)
situated at Brgy. Bangkal, Abucay, Bataan. One of its Barangay, Brgy. Bangkal, is being the
ancestral home by indigenous people, the “Aetas” that are native to the area, dominating the
barangay population.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND PHYSICAL BASE
The terrain of Abucay from the coastal to mountainous areas is shown in the Topographic
Map. The highest point, with elevation 1,556 m, is located in Mt. Natib. Terrain ranges from level
at the eastern part or near the coastal areas, to very steep in some portion of the urban areas. These
areas should be carefully planned to suitable.
Watershed
Abucay is composed of nine micro watersheds. Of the nine barangay, four drain through the
municipal jurisdiction and empty into the Manila Bay. The other five are shared with the adjacent
municipalities with headwaters located within Abucay ( Balanga, Samal, Morong and bagac). The
m,ajor ones are the watersheds of Calaguiman Rivers, Salian Rivers, Mabatang Creeks, Tuyo
Creeks, and Capitangan Creeks.
The Salian- Paliwas watershed covers a large portion of the municipality and is used mainly
for agriculture, residential, institutional and commercial purposes. The Salian sub- watershed is
covered predominantly with grass. Most creeks are intermittent and could not supply water tp
agricultural lands duting dry season. The ecosystem that are found in this watershed are upland,
lowland, and coastal area, The Paliwas sub- watershed is covered with patches of forest, grass and
fruit trees. Sibul spring, the main source of water is located in this sub- watershed. Ecosystem present
in this area are forest, upland, lowland and coastal. Integrated approaches in managing the activities
within in this watershed ensure the sustainability of water supply coming from the Sibul Spring area.
RIVERS
There are various rivers, creeks and springs traversing the municipality. These are sources of
surface water supply to agricultural lands, freshwater aquaculture, tourism, establishments and
poultry and piggery farms. Among the major ones are the Salian River, Paliwas River, Balantay
River, Santa Cruz River and Apali River. Sibil Spring is a source of water of Sibul Spring Resort
19
Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan
and other creeks, which eventually provides water supply to vast agricultural areas and to the
residential areas. The river system of the municipality is presented in River System Map.
The Salian Paliwas River system is the main drainage system in Abucay. The two rivers drain into
Manila Bay through the Abucay channel. This Channel serves an navigational way for fishing
vessels, Originally, the width of the Abucay Channel was approximately 40 meters but now it has
narrowed down to just 20 meters and even down to 10 or less meters in some portions particularly
on the river mouth where residential structured encroached into the river. This river under the threat
of dying because of the untreated heavy pollution load that is discharged and/ or thrown directly by
the residents. The problem was aggravated by illegal encroachment on the riverbank which caused
its continuous narrowing. These may be observed on the portions of barangay Salian, Laon, Gabon,
Omboy and Wawa. Mabatang and Capitangan creeks have also the same state as that of the Salian
River.
Grass, shrubs and trees serve as buffers along rivers, however, in urban areas, buffer zones, as
stipulated in the Philippine Water Code, are not implemented in the municipality. According to the
code, there’s should be buffer areas of 40 m on both sides from the riverbanks in forest, 20 m in
alienable and disposable land and 3 m in built- up areas. This does not only prevent direct discharge
of polluted and untreated wastes and riverbank stabilization but also for the safety of the people,
particularly in areas that are frequently flooded.

23
Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan
C. RISK PROFILE
The risk profile of Municipality of Abucay, Bataan was based from the study of the Mines
and Geo-Sciences Bureau (MGB), the Municipal Social Welfare Development Office (MSWDO),
the Municipal Planning MPDO and experiences of the different barangays consolidated through
risk assessment workshops conducted by the LGU and concerned NGAs. The assessments were
based from all possible occurrences of both natural and man-made hazards in the locality, the areas
and sectors that are vulnerable to disaster, and the present capacities of the LGU to mitigate risk. In
other words, disaster occurs when a hazard strikes a vulnerable community with low capacity
resulting to damages, loss and serious disruptions of community functioning.
The bigger the vulnerability, the bigger the disaster risk. The bigger the capacity, the smaller
the disaster risk. Based from the assessment, the elements at risks are the people (their lives and
health conditions), community, infrastructures, livelihood, and environment. The vulnerabilities are
the facilities made of light materials, those who are living at or near the foot of mountains or rivers
or shore lines, those without discipline or with negative attitude, or generally the poor. Capacity
speaks of the capability of the barangay in disaster management, presence of resources needed,
strong community organizations, adequate livelihood, and responsible government.

TYPHOON HAZARD CHARACTERIZATION
Typhoons, cyclones, tornados are considered as hazard triggers, much like earthquakes that
trigger ground shaking. The impact of typhoons, for example, is manifested by damage or loss
caused by the flooding after extreme rainfall, or by rain- induced landslides. In PAGASA’s Climate
Change in the Philippines (2011), results of analysis of trends of tropical cyclone occurrence/passage
within the so-called Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) show that an average of 20 tropical
cyclones form and/or cross the PAR per year with strong multi-decadal variability, that there still is
no indication of increase in the frequency, but with a very slight increase in the number of tropical
cyclones with maximum sustained winds of greater than 150kph and above (typhoon category) being
exhibited during El Nino years.
It was also diagrammed that Northern and Central Luzon exhibited a 32% frequency chance
of tropical cyclone visits every year, as early as the month of May until November.

A. FLOOD/ FLASHFLOOD
Most flooding in the municipality of Abucay occurs on floodplains. These are natural water
storage areas containing rivers or creeks that flow continuously or intermittently. Historically, the
easy access to water the easy access to water and the rich diversity and fertility of the flood plains
have always attracted by human settlements. Hence, with the ever-increasing human intervention in
the upstream catchments, the downstream consequences and risks increase. It is observed that the
flood prone areas with state height of floods that range from 0.4 meters to 1.2 meters high during
heavy rains, more so during high tides, are in the barangays of Bakawan- Wawa,Wawa Proper, Laon,
Gabon, Salian, Calaylayan, Capitangan, Omboy and Mabatang. Since flooding is a natural hazard
Municipal (Abucay) Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan (2019 -2022) and it is affected
annually by intensive tropical weather patterns which resulted to a very significant financial cost
and personal hardship within the affected areas in the municipality. It is also often exacerbated by
ignorant and negligent human intervention in the environment. Based on this information the LGU
of Abucay can make better choices about residential environment and business investment.
Therefore land use planning is recognized as being the best means of avoiding or minimizing future
flooding problems that stress risk to life. And property damage. Strict and uncompromising
enforcement of strategies and controls to counter flooding is very vital.

LANDSLIDE
In terms of landslide susceptibility, one (1) barangay has a low to moderate susceptibility to
landslides (Bangkal). The barangay is located in a rolling to hilly portion of the municipality,
moderately steep slopes and with tension cracks far from the community. Creeping is also observed.
The geographic location of Municipality Abucay, Bataan makes it prone to landslide which
may occur anytime.

FIRE
Occurrence of fire related incidents in the Abucay LGU ranges from low to medium level of risk
based from previous incident that rarely happen in a year. The most common causes are faulty
electrical wiring.
Barangays with low level of low risk are those in rural barangays and other areas where there is a
minimal economic activity and houses are not located very near each other and made in concrete
houses.
Six (6) barangays or 66% are at low risk and these are Omboy, Mabatang, Laon, Gabon, and
Calaylayan
Barangays with medium risk are those houses will be close and made in light materials. Four (4)
barangays or 34% are at medium risk and these are Bangkal, Wawa, Salian and Capitangan.
STORM SURGE
The fifth major problem is the storm surge produced by a typhoon when its eye comes on shore leads
to the development of a dome of water several meters high and several kilometers long. Abucay
being bounded by Manila Bay on the East and having a low ground level elevation is exposed to
storm surge
Abucay experiences the level of risk from low to high. Barangays with low level of risk are not
found along the coastal line. Barangays with medium risk are near the coastal line but are on higher
grounds. Barangays with high risk are situated along coastal and do not have sea walls to protect
them.
The five (5) barangays was experience the storm surge based on the data came from the barangay
officials and residents of affected barangay. Barangays affected these are Wawa, Omboy,
Capitangan, Calaylayan and Mabatang. The high risk area is Sitio Bakawan, Wawa Abucay, and
Bataan.

Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan
VULNERABILITY
In terms of landslide susceptibility, one (1) barangay has a low to moderate susceptibility to
landslides (Bangkal). The barangay is located in a rolling to hilly portion of the municipality,
moderately steep slopes and with tension cracks far from the community. Creeping is also observed.
• There are two (2) barangays with low to moderate susceptibility to flooding (Mabatang and
Omboy). The barangay proper has a low susceptibility to flooding.
• There are two (2) barangays (Calaylayan and Capitangan) with moderate susceptibility to
flooding. It is located near the river where avulsion and overflow is possible, occurrence of high tide
and improper waste disposal in the river system constricting the natural drainage.
• There are four (4) barangays (Gabon, Laon, Salian and Wawa) having a moderate to high
susceptibility to flooding in most areas of the barangay.
For all the hazards that affect the area, such as typhoon, flood, earthquake, storm surge, fire
and landslide, the disaster risk is high to vulnerable sectors in the community which may result to
loss of lives and damage to properties. Although the LGU is doing all efforts to prepare and mitigate
the effects of disaster, there are still underlying reasons which are beyond the control of the
government. Vulnerabilities are classified into three (3) categories and these are:
a) Physical/Material
The topography of the area where people resides poses danger particularly those near coastal,
rivers, hills, mountains and in low grounds. Whenever natural hazard affects the community, these
are the severely affected areas. The type of building materials play in the protection of human lives
and normally houses built on indigenous and light materials are the ones affected during calamities.
The clogging of canals, drainage system and streams pose greater possibility of flooding due to
stagnant surface run off during heavy rains. Agricultural products are also vulnerable whenever there
are typhoons because of the flooded rice fields especially if this stays for a longer period of time.
The absence of flood control structures near coastal and rivers pose great danger also to human lives
and properties. Silted river beds and presence of fish cages contribute to vulnerability during
calamities as this will cause flooding. The presence of sub-standard building materials and non-
conformity to building code are greatly affected when earthquake strikes.
b) Social/Organizational
The varying customs and traditions of people from different cultures in the community
complicate the implementation of government’s programs. Most of the people who are below the
poverty threshold are the severely affected whenever disaster occurs and it takes a longer time for
them to recover, economically and morally. The weaknesses of the Filipino character such as self-
centeredness and crab mentality make the puroks or sitios unable to function as a solid group for
cooperative undertakings. Sometimes the presence of organized groups in the community which can
be potential partners in any government’s initiative are more concerned of their own organizational
33
Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan
activities. Now a days, the “bayanihan” is not being observed anymore in most communities. With
these existing conditions in the community, there is a need for the local governments to fine tune
these differences and align their values to that of the community’s welfare particularly on their
safety. They can be transformed into a solid group that eases down the impacts and can easily recover
from all diversities. However, it takes political will to achieve these goals.
c) Motivational/Attitudinal
Some of the strengths and weaknesses of the Filipino character affects the mind set of every
individual in the community. The “bahala na” attitude makes everyone vulnerable to disaster. The
lack of participation, cooperation and commitment to government’s effort to look after the welfare
of the community pose difficulty in achieving this goal. People tend to be concerned more of their
daily survival particularly the poor. Preparedness becomes obscured in their minds and left with no
easy way out during disaster. The indiscriminate human activities causing degradation of the
environment have become more destructive than friendly. Lack of knowledge on the consequences
of what we do does more destruction than benefits to the people. Too much attachment to material
things has foolishly set peoples mind towards disaster. The government alone cannot function
effectively without the participation of every one. Disaster is every one’s concern and all must work
together to mitigate the effects.

A study in 2010 conducted by the Economy and Environment Program for Southeast Asia
(EEPSA) listed the Province of Bataan on number six (out of the seventy-four Philippine Provinces)
to be a hotspot in terms of vulnerability to climate change.
The National government tapped its different agencies to assist the different PLGUs and
MLGUs of the country specifically in the mainstreaming of the Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate
Change Adaptation (DRR-CCA) to integrate into the local development and land use planning
processes. National agencies like the NEDA, MGB, DOST-Pagasa, PhiVolcs and DENR provided
the technical assistance and capacitate the Provinces for the crafting of the Disaster Risk Reduction
and Climate Change Adaptation Vulnerability Assessment, which will be the bulk of the planning
environment of the DRR-CCA to be mainstreamed into the Provincial Development and Physical
Framework Plan (PDPFP).
Regional agencies and other departments of the provincial government were also
instrumental with providing the much needed data and other parameters in coming up with the
updated and latest inputs to which the assessment will be based.

EVACUATION CENTERS
The main evacuation of LGU was constructed near the MDRRMO but not fully constructed and the
nine (9) barangays has a designated evacuation center like barangay hall, multipurpose hall, senior
citizen hall and St. Dominic Church and also used the public school and private school through
Memorandum of Agreement of School Principal / School Supervisor as a protocol.
PRE-EMPTIVE EVACUATION
Pre-emptive evacuation shall be carried out in flood prone areas and other risk areas. Priority to be
evacuated will be children, pregnant women, senior citizens and population with disabilities. If
population at risk does not like to be evacuated, they should sign a waiver indicating that they do
not like to be evacuated. One of the reasons why people do not like to be evacuated is that there are
opportunists who take advantage of the situation. In order to ensure safety, it should be the
responsibility of the Barangay Response Team to provide security to the areas affected.

STANDARD MANUAL OF OPERATIONS
In the Philippines, Amihan and Habagat refer to the two kinds of winds and seasons that occur in
the country every year. Amihan is known as the Northeast monsoon while Habagat is known as the
Southwest monsoon. A monsoon is a seasonal rain and wind pattern.
A switch in wind direction is the primary indicator for the change between one monsoon to the other.
It usually takes place during nighttime. At some periods, the two monsoons switch several times
before settling into a pattern for the season.
Habagat is the southwest wind characterized by frequent heavy rainfall and humid weather. During
Southwest monsoon or hanging Habagat, the high-pressure area is at the Australian continent, and
the low-pressure area is at North China, Mongolia, and Siberia. The gusty winds from the west and
excessive rainfall often turn to dangerous typhoons.
While the rain may ease farmers to irrigate the rice fields, the heavy rainfall may trigger floods,
landslides, and potentially endanger residents living near riverbanks.
The southwest monsoon affects the country from late June to October (occurrence may also vary
each year). Low season in the Philippines occurs during the habagat season because of frequent
rainfall and high humidity. A series of flash floods and landslides are regular incidents during this
season.
Amihan is as season characterized with slight to moderate rainfall and a prevailing cold wind that
affects east of the Philippines. The monsoon commonly occurs from October to late March, although
occurrence may vary every year.

TYPHOON / STORM
A storm is any disturbed state of an environment or astronomical body's atmosphere especially
affecting its surface, and strongly implying severe weather. It may be marked by significant
disruptions to normal conditions such as strong wind, hail, thunder and lightning (a thunderstorm),
heavy precipitation (snowstorm, rainstorm), heavy freezing rain (icestorm), strong winds (tropical
cyclone, windstorm), or wind transporting some substance through the atmosphere as in a dust storm,
blizzard, sandstorm, etc.
Storms generally lead to negative impacts on lives and property such as storm surge, heavy rain or
snow (causing flooding or road impassibility), lightning, wildfires, and vertical wind shear; however,
systems with significant rainfall can alleviate drought in places they move through.
The Philippine Public Storm Warning Signals (PSWS) are warnings to raise public awareness of the
incoming weather disturbances. Conditions are not yet necessarily felt in the given area as the storm
signal is raised.
36 hours once the Public Storm Warning Signal (PSWS) No.1 is raised
24 hours once the PSWS No.2 is raised
18 hours once the PSWS No.3 is raised
12 hours once the PSWS No.4 is raised
The signal number of an area is based on the intensity, size of circulation and the forecast direction,
and speed of the tropical storm or typhoon when the PWS is raised. PSWSs may be upgraded or
downgraded as the weather disturbances moves through the Philippine Area of Responsibility
(PAR).
Tropical Depression –Winds will be at 35 to 63 kph
Tropical Storm –Winds will be at 64 to 117 kph
Typhoon –More than 117 kph

STORM SURGE
The Philippines, an island surrounded by bodies of water, is vulnerable to storm surges. Filipinos
often hear in warnings in weather reports of a possible storm surge in coastal areas during typhoons.
The populous Metro Manila experienced a storm surge caused by Typhoon Pedring in September
2011 when the sea walls of Manila Bay were destroyed and the US Embassy and Sofitel Philippine
Plaza were submerged in floodwaters.
A storm surge, storm flood, tidal surge or storm tide is a coastal flood or tsunami-like phenomenon
of rising water commonly associated with low-pressure weather systems, such as cyclones. It is
measured as the rise in water level above the normal tidal level, and does not include waves. Most
casualties during tropical cyclones occur as the result of storm surges.
The main meteorological factor contributing to a storm surge is high-speed wind pushing water
towards the coast over a long fetch. Other factors affecting storm surge severity include the
shallowness and orientation of the water body in the storm path, the timing of tides, and the
atmospheric pressure drop due to the storm.

EARTHQUAKE
An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the shaking of the surface of the Earth
resulting from a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.
Earthquakes can range in size from those that are so weak that they cannot be felt to those violent
enough to propel objects and people into the air, and wreak destruction across entire cities.
The seismicity, or seismic activity, of an area is the frequency, type, and size of earthquakes
experienced over a period of time. The word tremor is also used for non-earthquake seismic
rumbling.
At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and displacing or disrupting the
ground. When the epicenter of a large earthquake is located offshore, the seabed may be displaced
sufficiently to cause a tsunami. Earthquakes can also trigger landslides and occasionally, volcanic
activity.
In its most general sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event—whether
natural or caused by humans—that generates seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused mostly by
rupture of geological faults but also by other events such as volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts,
and nuclear tests. An earthquake's point of initial rupture is called its hypocenter or focus.
The epicenter is the point at ground level directly above the hypocenter.

PROTOCOL ON TRAUMA AND MEDICAL CASES
1. Upon receiving the emergency information from the 1Bataan Command Center or report
from MDRRMO Hotline, rescuers will be alerted for dispatch.
2. MDRRMO Rescue reports any problem that took place during a run to the Command Center.
3. MDRRMO Rescue informs the dispatcher upon arrival and departure at the scene.
4. Patient care must be done prior and during transport to medical facility.
5. Upon arrival to medical facility, MDRRMO Rescue will inform the Command Center.
6. Proper endorsement of patient to the personnel in the medical facility must be done.
LANDSLIDE
A landslide, also known as a landslip, is a geological phenomenon that includes a wide range of
ground movements, such as rockfalls, deep failure of slopes, and shallow debris flows. Landslides
can occur in offshore, coastal and on shore environments. Although the action of gravity is the
primary driving force for a landslide to occur, there are other contributing factors affecting the
original slope stability. Typically, pre-conditional factors buildup specificsub-surface conditions
that make the area/ slope prone to failure, whereas the actual landslide often requires a trigger before
being released.
1. Received report of landslide from a certain barangay.
2. a. If no casualty reported:
• BDRRMO will take charge from activation of their respective Operation Center with the
Incident Management Team from reporting as well as on clearing operation.
b. If there is reported casualties (missing, injured, dead ):
• BDRRMO will establish the Operation Center, Incident Management Team.
• MDRRMO will augment as per needs arises.
• MDRRMO will provide contingents:
a. Rescue Team
b. Response Team
• BDRRMO will be responsible for recovery and rehabilitation, MDRRMC will assist as
need arises.
c. If more than 2 barangays involved with no casualties:
• BDRRMOs involved will establish their own Operation Center and will activate their
IMT.
• MDRRMC will be convened.
• MDRRMO will activate the Operation Center and will establish the Incident
management Team.
• MDRRMO will facilitate RDANA as per protocol will be followed.
• After clearance of the affected areas, PDNA will be facilitated by MDRRMO.
