Typhoon
As of October 2022
 CHAPTER 1. Background

A. Geographical Features

province; 607 kilometers from the heart of Manila via Nueva Viscaya; or 789 kilometers by Ilocos Region. The geographical coordinates is
approximately centered at the intersection of 18° 15' 40'' North latitude and 121° 59' 49'' East longitude.

B. Political Subdivisions and Barangay Land Area

Gonzaga is politically subdivided into 25 barangays, four (4) of which are urban barangays and twenty one (21) are classified as rural
barangays.
The poblacion area which constitutes the four urban barangays namely, Flourishing, Progressive, Paradise and Smart where the Gonzaga
National High School is situated with a total land area of 1 hectare and has an aggregate area of 579.78 hectares or 5.79 square kilometers

a. Elevation and Slope

Most areas in the built-up zones are 20 meters above sea level (masl). The highest elevation in the municipality is 1,133 masl which
is located at Mt. Cagua periphery in Barangay Magrafil.
 The different slope classifications are found in the municipality as evidenced by its topography, but the most dominant of which is
Slope E,–a rolling slope which cover almost49% of the total area of the municipality.

b. Climate
The climate classification identified by the coronas climate classification in the municipality is first type; it is characterized by two
(2) pronounced seasons dry from November to April and wet during the rest of the year. This type is purely influenced by its major
topography hilly to mountainous relief and forest cover vegetation. The weather in the lowlands is both extremes, too hot during summer
and too cold during rainy seasons. Hot months are from March to August and cool from September to February. In the highlands the
weather is very temperate relatively cool the whole year round. The prevailing wind direction is from the northwest during the month of
October to December and southwest from August and the rest of the year.

c. Rivers
The municipality is endowed with various water bodies as attributed by its mixture terrain and good vegetation. These water bodies
are rivulets, creeks, streams and rivers whose main source is from the forested areas of the municipality. Presently there are 2 major
rivers with great watershed; these are the WANGAG and BAUA rivers. These rivers supply the water demand of the municipality in
terms of irrigation and domestic uses; the same maintain the availability of potable underground water sources which can be reached to a
depth of less than 3 meters up to 35 meters.

C. Disaster Risk Assessment

world is tremendously experiencing Climate Change, a long-term alteration in global weather pattern especially increases in
temperature and storm activity as a potential subsequence of the greenhouse effect. Some of the effects of climate change are: more
weather related disasters, more floods and droughts and prevalence of diseases mostly brought about by diseases carrier insects.

Various Schools within the municipality are not spared with these conditions. Destructive typhoons often occur in our
municipality bringing serious disruption of the functioning of the locality, causing extreme damage to properties and agricultural crops,
death of livestock and in disruption of classes in the education sector. Fortunately, there were no reported death casualties.

Republic Act 10121 was enacted in 2010, purposely to strengthen the Philippines Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
System, providing for the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Framework and institutionalizing the Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Plan, appropriating funds therefore and for other purposes.
 After the enactment of this Act, the government is continuously finding ways and means to prevent, mitigate the vulnerability of
the community to the damaging effects of hazards that pose threat to people, structures and economic assets. The national government
down to the lowest level, non-government organizations and instrumentalities are called for to join hands to combat climate change that
will redound to the occurrence of natural calamities.

1. Hazard Characterization

Gonzaga, with her geographical location, is vulnerable to natural hazards both hydro-meteorological and geologic such as flood,
landslide, erosion, volcanic eruptions, tropical cyclones or typhoons, storm surges, floods/flashfloods, tsunamis and earthquakes as well
as human-induced such as Oil Spill, Armed Conflict, Vehicular Accidents and Destructive Fire.

Vulnerability to natural hazards has increased tremendously in the municipality and throughout the country. There are natural
hazards identified that pose threats to humans, properties and disruption of the functioning of the government in the municipality. These
are: Typhoons, flooding, landslides, erosion, earthquake, volcanic eruption, tsunami, storm surge and drought.

Among the hazards, typhoon is noted to have the highest probability to occur which is most frequent during the period of June to
December. During this period typhoons brought severe devastation to agricultural crops, properties and infrastructure facilities. Further,
these typhoons have caused flooding to Barangays in the Municipality including the 4 urban barangays. This has also been backed up by
the assessment conducted by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) that there are eight (8) barangays susceptible to flooding.

2. Hazard Identification
Gonzaga is exposed to natural and man-made hazards: typhoon, flooding/la niña, vehicular accident, drought/el niño, storm
surges, forest fires, armed conflict, crops infestation, tsunami, epidemic, landslide, earthquake, volcanic eruption and oil spill.

C. Hazard to Plan for:
HAZARD TO PLAN FOR
ROOT CAUSES
The geographic location of
Gonzaga makes it prone to
tropical cyclone which may
occur in the month of
September to December.
However, with the climate
change manifestation, a
tropical cyclone may also
occur during the months of
January to May.

The contingency plan shall be activated based on the findings of Pre-Disaster Risk Assessment by the MDRRMC, leading to the
activation of the EOC. Convene all the clusters to assess the situation. Afterwards, she shall officially activate ICS and delegate
authority to the 1C coming from the Municipal DRRMO. The 1C shall then proceed to organize the IMT and implement tactical
activities based on the strategic decisions of the clusters.
The contingency plan shall be deactivated once the situation has improved and when heightened alert is no longer
required. The recommendation for deactivation shall emanate from the 1C going to Mayor Pentecostes via the EOC. Once
deactivated, operation will still remain until such time that the EOC will be back to “white alert” status. At this point, the operation
is already terminated.

In case that the typhoon will not take place in the months of June to December, the contingency plan will not be
activated. In this case, the plan will be maintained as a perpetual plan for future use in the event of upcoming typhoons.
