DEFINITION OF TERMS
Affected Population: a group of people who (1) lives in a disaster-affected area and has sustained direct disaster
impacts (e.g. casualties and lost sources of livelihoods); (2) lives within the disaster-affected area and sustained
indirect disaster impacts (e.g. disruption of basic services); or (3) lives outside the disaster-affected area and
sustained secondary disaster impacts (e.g. increase in market costs).

Capacity: a combination of all strengths and resources available within a community, society or organization that
can reduce the level of risk, or effects of a disaster. Capacity may include infrastructure and physical means,
institutions, societal coping abilities, as well as human knowledge, skills and collective attributes such as social
relationships, leadership and management. Capacity may also be described as capability.

Casualty: a person who is injured, killed, or gone missing as a result of an accident, mishap, or disaster.

Civil Society Organizations (CSOs): organized group of individuals, to include non-government organizations,
trade unions, faith-based organizations, indigenous people’s movements and foundations, working together for a
common goal.

Coordination: system for gathering information, making decision, and recording action that must be clear and
known to all.

Command and Control: exercise of authority and direction by the Incident Commander over resources checked-
in to accomplish the objectives.

Cluster: a group of agencies that gather to work together towards common objectives within a particular sector or
area of concern in emergency response. The NDRP enumerates the clusters at the national level, the lead and
member agencies, as well as their duties and responsibilities during emergencies.

Cluster Approach: a coordination system of the NDRRMC that aims to ensure a more coherent and effective
response by mobilizing groups of agencies, organizations and non-government organizations to respond in a
strategic manner across all key sectors or areas of activity, each sector having a clearly designated lead, in
support of existing government coordination structure and emergency response mechanisms.

Contingency Plan: a scenario-based plan for a specific and projected natural and/or human-induced hazard. It
aims to address the impacts of the hazard to people, properties, and environment; and/or to prevent the
occurrence of the emerging threats through the arrangement of timely, effective, appropriate, and well-
coordinated responses as well as the efficient management of resources.

Contingency Planning: a management process that analyzes specific potential events or emerging situations that
might threaten society or the environment and establishes arrangements in advance to enable timely, effective
and appropriate responses to such events and situations.

Crisis: also known as emergency; a threatening condition that requires urgent action or response

Crisis Management (CM): involves plans and institutional arrangement to engage and guide the efforts of
government, non-government, voluntary and private agencies in comprehensive and coordinated ways to
respond to the entire spectrum of crisis needs.

Crisis Management Committee (CMC): a governing body that undertakes CM activities and takes decisive
actions to resolve crisis or emergency. Its powers and functions are defined in the NCMCM 2012.

Disaster: a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society involving widespread human,
material, economic or environmental losses and impacts, which exceeds the ability of the affected community or
society to cope using its own resources. Disasters are often described as a result of the combination of: the
exposure to a hazard; the conditions of vulnerability that are present; and insufficient capacity or measures to
reduce or cope with the potential negative consequences, Disaster impacts may include loss of life, injury,
3|Page
disease and other

and manage the causal factors of disasters, including through reduced exposures to hazards, lessened
vulnerability of people and property, wise management of land and the environment, and improved preparedness
for adverse events.

Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM): the systematic process of using administrative directives,
organizations, and operational skills and capacities to implement strategies, policies and improved coping
capacities in order to lessen the adverse impacts of hazards and the possibility of disaster. Prospective disaster
risk reduction and management refers to risk reduction and management activities that address and seek to
avoid the development of new or increased disaster risks, especially if risk reduction policies are not put in place.

Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (DRRMC): organized and authorized body of government

Goal: an observable and measurable end result having one or more objectives to be achieved within a more or
less fixed timeframe.

Hazard: a dangerous phenomenon, substance, human activity or condition that may cause loss of life, injury or
other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihood and services, social and economic disruption, or
environmental damage

Human-Induced Hazard: a significant incident due to human interventions resulting in acts of terrorism,
destabilization, criminal activities, industrial accidents, disruption of normal day-to-day activities, and other related
emergencies that require prompt intervention to contain the incident, mitigate the effects, and normalize the
situation.

Incident Command System (ICS): a standard, on-scene, all-hazard incident management concept that can be
used by all DRRMCs member agencies and response groups. It allows its users to adopt an integrated
organizational structure to match the complexities and demands of single or multiple incidents without being

national level government agencies down to the local government units (LGUs). It is hazard-specific, area-
focused, and time-bound method of assessment.

Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA): a multi-sectoral and multidisciplinary structured approach for
assessing disaster impacts and prioritizing recovery and reconstruction needs. It is undertaken by the
government agencies also in collaboration with international development partners and the private sector.

Probability: frequency of occurrence or the return period of losses associated with hazardous events.

Rapid Damage Assessment and Needs Analysis (RDANA): a disaster response tool that is used immediately in
the early emergency phase to determine the extent of impacts and assess the priority needs of the communities.

Resources: machineries, manpower, methodology, materials, and monetary assets that can be drawn on by an
organization in order to function effectively.

Risk: the combination of the probability of an event and its negative consequences.

Risk Assessment: a methodology to determine the nature and extent of risk by analyzing potential hazards and
evaluating existing conditions of vulnerability that together could potentially harm exposed people, property,
services, livelihood and the environment on which they depend

Root Causes: the underlying natural or human-induced sources or origins of the hazard

Sector: distinct and large subdivision defined on the basis of some common factor

State of Calamity: a condition involving mass casualty and/or major damages to property, disruption of means of

CHAPTER I. BACKGROUND
A. INTRODUCTION

The information presented in this section are directly sourced from the 2018 Tarlac Provincial Profile by the
Provincial Planning and Development Office (PPDO).

GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION AND POLITICAL BOUNDARIES


Situated at the center of the Central Luzon Plains, Tarlac lies approximately between 15˚16’19” and 15˚40’41”
north latitude, and 120˚20’26” and 120˚44’6” east longitude. The province is landlocked with boundaries defined
by the province of Pangasinan on the north, Nueva Ecija on the east, Pampanga on the south and Zambales on
the west.

Tarlac has 17 municipalities and 1 city grouped into three congressional districts. The first congressional district
consists of the municipalities of Anao, Camiling, Mayantoc, Moncada, Paniqui, Pura, Ramos, San Clemente, San
Manuel and Sta. Ignacia. The second includes Gerona, San Jose, Tarlac and Victoria, while the third consists of
the municipalities of Bamban, Capas, Concepcion and La Paz.

Tarlac City is the most urbanized, in terms of services, and has the largest built-up area. But unlike cities of
similar development in the country, it remains to be predominantly agriculture in character as evidenced by the
large tracts of agricultural land and open space surrounding the poblacion. Tarlac Province has 511 barangays.

MAJOR FEATURES

TOPOGRAPHY

The topography of Tarlac Province varies from level to very steep, with land elevations ranging from 70 to nearly
1,670 meters above mean sea level (amsl). The watershed areas of the province at the western portion contain
the higher elevations. These decrease as one moves towards the eastern border. The highest elevation, Dome
Peak, measures 1,670 meters and is situated near the border of Zambales. During a field survey, the Consultant
measured the Servants of the Risen Christ Monastery located in the municipality of San Jose to be roughly 267
meters above mean sea level. Tarlac City measures an average of 72.5 meters above mean sea level.

GEOLOGY

The Province of Tarlac, underlined mainly by igneous and sedimentary rocks, is bounded by volcanic hills in the
south, a high mountain range and peak of ultrabasic rocks in the west, and a wide broad alluvial valley in the
northern and eastern parts of the province. About 68% of the total land area is covered by sedimentary rocks and
the rest by igneous rocks.

Hills bordering the province in the south are strictly pyroclastics with intermediary low relief hills of shale and
sandstone sequence.

The western part of the province is underlain by andesitic and basaltic parent materials and intrusions of
ultramatic igneous rocks which tend to divide the physiographic boundary between Zambales and the Province of
Tarlac.

The central portion is a wide deposition of chiefly sedimentary rocks, which is classified into three (3) types
namely: sandstone/mudstone series, shale/sandstone sequence, and shale/sandstone/limestone complex. The
latter is the oldest and believed to be the first formation that was deposited, followed by shale sandstone sequence
and overlain by the sandstone/mudstone series.

Table 3:
Land Distribution by Geologic Characteristic, Province of Tarlac

EROSION

The washing away of soil particles through the action of water is called erosion. Severe erosion usually occurs in
steeper slopes having loose soil characteristics and minimal ground cover. Erosion is one of the land
characteristics that should be given importance and be monitored especially in sloping areas.

Around 64,440 hectares at the westernmost portion of the province have slight erosion problems. This is unusual
because slopes in these areas range from steep to very steep. Reasons may be because the vegetative cover in
these areas may still be intact or the type of soil in the area does not break easily. The severity of erosion
problems is observable in areas with slopes characterized as moderately sloping to rolling. It is noticeable that
vegetation in these areas is characterized by tropical grass and scattered trees. Of the 17 municipalities, six
noticeably experience moderate to severe erosion problems. These are San Clemente, Sta. Ignacia, Mayantoc,
San Jose, Capas and Bamban.

The western part of the municipality of San Jose, has the biggest area with slight to moderate erosion, followed
by San Clemente, Mayantoc, Capas and Bamban. Areas with severe erosion are scattered. These are in Capas
and Bamban (which have the biggest portions), followed by San Clemente, Mayantoc and San Jose. A large
portion of the province, 56.11% or 171,338 hectares, shows no apparent erosion problem. The built-up areas,
rice fields and other cultivated lands are found here.

Land Distribution by Erosion Category, Province of Tarlac

SOILS

The southern and eastern areas of Tarlac are characterized by fertile lands, alluvial soil, silt loam, sand and clay.
The central portion from Bamban in the south to portions of San Clemente in the north is dominated by clay loam
and sandstone. The western side, forming the eastern side of the Zambales mountain ranges is dominated by
volcanic rocks of the basalt and andesite types, covered by undifferentiated Tarlac soils.

Table 5:
Land Distribution by Soil Type, Province of Tarlac

LAND RESOURCES

Of the total land area of the province, about 61% or 184,975 hectares are classified as Alienable and Disposable
(A&D) and 39% or 120,369 hectares are Timber Land or Public Forest Land. DENR’s forest land use statistics
shows the following breakdown: Forestlands – 83,378 ha. (Protection forest – 69,189 ha., Production forest –
14,189 ha), and National Park/NIPAS - 194 ha. Production forest is broken down as follows: Agro-forestry –
4,236 ha., Grazing areas – 3,233 ha., Agriculture – 4,810 ha., Military reservation – 1,535 ha., Fishpond/fish
farms – 375 ha.).

Most of the low-lying areas in the province located on the northern and eastern fronts do not suffer from soil
erosion or the loss of topsoil caused by surface runoff. These areas are comprised mostly of built-up areas and
lowland agricultural areas. However, sloping lands in the municipalities of Mayantoc, Bamban, Capas, San Jose
and the City of Tarlac are experiencing different degrees of erosion, from slight to severe loss of top soils
depending on the inclination of the land. Those denuded lands located in steep slopes of more than 30%

11 | P a g e
suffer from severe

12 | P a g e
erosion. They comprise about 10% of the total land area of the province. Severe erosion is occurring in denuded
and less vegetated lands located in Capas, Sta. Ignacia, Mayantoc, and Bamban. Steeply sloping areas
cultivated to upland crops are also suffering from accelerated erosion.

Based on soils and climatic characteristics, a large portion of the province’s land area is suitable for growing rice.
These areas are located on the northern and eastern parts of the province and include the municipalities of San
Manuel, Moncada, Anao, Paniqui, Ramos, Pura, Victoria, La Paz, Concepcion, Camiling, Sta. Ignacia, Mayantoc,
Sta. Ignacia, Capas and Tarlac City. Large areas of lands, presently planted with rice, are located in Moncada,
San Manuel, Anao, Gerona, Tarlac, Victoria, La Paz, Concepcion, Sta. Ignacia, Camiling, and San Clemente.
These areas are threatened by fragmentation and conversion to non-agricultural uses due to the increasing
demand for pockets of land for settlements, industrial, commercial and recreational uses.

Some of those areas suitable for rice are now cultivated to sugarcane such as in the municipalities of Paniqui,
Ramos and Pura. Other rice suitable areas are used for pasture such as in Tarlac City and the municipalities of
Concepcion, Victoria, Moncada, La Paz and Gerona.

The projected demand for rice in the province warrants the preservation of prime agricultural lands to be able to
meet the province’s self-sufficiency targets.

Thus, conversion should strictly be regulated in prime rice land areas and should be directed towards marginal
lands.

FOREST

Forest Lands - San Jose has the lion’s share in terms of forest cover (woodland) with a total area of 44,030
hectares or 71.06% of its total land area. This is followed by Mayantoc with 16,600 hectares (61.08%), Capas
with 14,470 hectares (34.1%), Bamban with 5,098 hectares (20.22%), and San Clemente with 1,451 hectares
(25.47%). It is noteworthy that the municipalities of Camiling and Gerona still have patches of forest cover. Based
on the NAMRIA satellite image, Camiling still has 54.07 hectares of forest cover or 0.36% of its total area while
Gerona has 132 hectares or 1.06% of its total land area.

Forest and Wildlife Resources - Forestlands are found on the western and southern portions of the province. The
forest vegetation is characteristically a mixture of native and exotic species. Forest cover remaining in the
province is about 35% of the total area of forestland. It is estimated to be about 41,719 hectares as of 2003, 72%
of which are open broad-leaved; 15% closed broad-leaved; and 13% plantation broad-leaved.

Forestry plantations are found in San Jose and Mayantoc while production forest is mostly located in San Jose,
Capas and Mayantoc. Integrated Social Forestry Program (ISF) is being undertaken in 18 areas in the
municipalities of Mayantoc, San Clemente, Camiling, and San Jose.

Camp O’ Donnell was declared as an International Important Bird Area by the Birdlife International because of
the presence of diverse species of endemic and endangered bird species in the area.

Production forestlands without forest cover are found in Mayantoc, San Jose, Capas and Bamban while
protection forestlands without forest cover are found in San Jose and Bamban. Erosion in these denuded areas
is widespread and causes deterioration of land quality limiting further their use for forestry and agriculture.
Watershed reservation areas in Capas and San Jose are suffering from severe erosion. There are also
settlements inside these protected areas. The increasing population in the upland areas of these municipalities
greatly threatens their remaining forest and wildlife resources.

Despite of its being illegal, production activities are occurring in protection forestlands in San Jose and Mayantoc
leading to further clearing of areas for agriculture. Reforestation projects are being undertaken in the southern
part of Mayantoc and in the central part of San Jose to rehabilitate degraded areas and improve the soil
conditions.

CLIMATE

The average temperature of Tarlac, according to the World Weather Online, is 30 degrees Celsius. The warmest
months are usually March to June while the coldest months run between the months of September to December.

13 | P a g e
The maximum amount of rainfall was measured to be 596.4 mm for 29 days for the month of July 2017. Lastly, for
the province’s average measure of cloudiness and humidity, it is measured to be at 27% and 81% respectively.

B. HAZARD ANALYSIS

Tarlac is prone to both hydro-meteorological and geologic, as well as human-induced hazards. The frequent
hazard affecting the province is flashflood due to typhoons and during the monsoon seasons. Tributaries from
the upstream part on the northern and eastern parts pass through the province towards the downstream portion
going to Lingayen Gulf and Manila Bay, respectively. However, the downstream portion going to Manila Bay is
constricted on the Pampanga and Bulacan portion causing backflow that floods several areas in the province.
During heavy rains brought by typhoons, the excess volume of water released by San Roque Dam that pass thru
Agno River blocks the flow of Tarlac River and Camiling River causing flashfloods in western part of the province.

Vulnerability to geologic hazards, such as earthquake related hazards like ground


shaking, liquefaction, earthquake induced landslide are apparent because of the presence of several faults such
as the Iba Fault, East Zambalez fault and Digdig Fault within the Central Luzon and the Manila Trench, West
Boundary Fault and other fault system lying in the adjacent regions. Several areas in the province experienced
ground shaking and liquefaction during the July 1990 earthquake.

The province was also exposed to volcanic hazards like ash fall, mud flow and lahar flow
during the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in June 1991 causing serious damaged to properties and agriculture in the
province. Major river systems such as Sacobia-Bamban River, O’Donnell Tarlac River were silted with lahar
deposits and lahar flow breached dikes that causes flashfloods in the lower section of the river systems.

Other hazards present in the province are health-related and human-induced such as emerging and re-emerging
infectious diseases (EREIDs) and disease outbreaks (dengue, leptospirosis, measles, avian influenza), vehicular
accidents, fire, and terrorism and health-related hazards which threatens the province, especially vulnerable
communities. Population growth and distribution especially increased population density and urbanization,
increases the vulnerability of the province to disaster. Congestion, limited escape routes, dense infrastructures,
and poverty add to the vulnerability.

Of the identified hazards, flood and typhoon are ranked number 1 based on the probability and impact of hazard.
FLOODING is a perennial problem in the low- lying municipalities in the province especially during typhoon days
and rainy season. The recent typhoons that caused significant damage to lives and properties were TY SANTI
(October 2003), TY LANDO (October 2015), Southwest Monsoon Enhanced by Henry/Inday/Josie (2018) and TY
ULYSSES (2020).

Typhoon SANTI affected 313 barangays with 35,887 families’ province wide. The province incurred a total of
1,361,079,252.69 in damages to agriculture/infrastructure/roads and schools and a total of 37,488 damaged
residential houses. Unfortunately 3 casualties were reported during the height of the Typhoon.

16 | P a g e
While the massive amount of rainfall of TY LANDO have inundated a total of 389 barangays and affected 67,379
families’ province wide. Estimated cost of damages by TYLANDO have reached TWO BILLION FIVE HUNDRED
FIFTY ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED TWELVE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED THIRTEEN AND .07 PESOS
(P2,551,612,713.07). As per Damage and Needs Assessment conducted by concerned agencies
(DPWH/NIA/DA- OPA/PEO), the extent of damages on roads, flood control structures and agriculture including
livestock and fisheries was very severe.

As to the effect of the southwest monsoon enhanced by three typhoons (Henry/Inday/Josie) in 2018, it caused
breaches in various flood control structures thus causing flashflood and rapid increase in water level in low-lying
areas. Four (4) fatalities were recorded and 16 out of 18 municipalities/city were affected, with a total of 48, 410
families affected in 209 barangays. It also caused significant damage in agriculture and infrastructure in the
province.

In the latter part of 2020, few typhoons passed thru the province successively affecting the ability of the soil to
absorb rainwater. TY Quinta, Rolly, and Ulysses brought about strong winds and flooding in the province,
affecting all 18 municipalities/city. The strong winds also totally damaged 751 houses and 8,136 partially. A total
of PhP231, 197,923.59 was estimated to be the total value loss in agriculture which affected 5,336 farmers. As to
infrastructure, a total of PhP173,500,000 was estimated to be the extent of damage, and PhP10,076,939.73 was
to lifelines and communication facilities.

HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL HAZARD

Hydro meteorological hazards are natural processes or phenomena of atmospheric, hydrologic or oceanographic
nature, which may cause loss of life, injury, property damage, social and economic disruption or environmental
degradation. Hydro meteorological hazards can be single, sequential or combined in their origin and effects.
Hydro meteorological hazards include: floods, debris and mud floods; tropical cyclones, storm surges,
thunder/hailstorms, rain and wind storms, blizzards and other severe storms; drought, desertification, wildland
fires, temperature extremes, sand or dust storms; permafrost and snow or ice avalanches. (NEDA – Manual on
Mainstreaming DRR/CCA in PDPFPs).

Of the hazards, under this origin, two are discussed in this section: floods and typhoons.

B.1 FLOOD
Floods are characterized by a rise in the water level when a body of water, such as a river or lake exceeds its
total capacity. Having a slow build up and usually seasonal, floods have many causes. Heavy rains, whether
sudden or prolonged, may create several scenarios of flooding and its impact depends also on artificial or human
interventions.

Riverine floods are typically caused by excess overland run-off and stream discharge, where the main channel
capacity has been exceeded and hence overtops river banks and flows through its adjacent flood plains. Other
factors that may cause flood flows are dam breaches; blockages of channels arising from deposition of
sediments, debris and the like; and the narrowing of sections along waterways like canals, bridges, and culverts
which create fast waters in main canals and floodplains. Flooding also affects the land cover, e.g., agriculture,
built-up areas, tree canopy, among others.

Flooding is a perennial problem in the low lying municipalities in the province. During the rainy season,
communities located near the Tarlac River, Chico River and Paruar River within Tarlac City and the municipalities
of Paniqui, Moncada, Victoria, Lapaz, and Concepcion are usually inundated when the banks of these rivers
overflow.

B.1.2. FLOOD HAZARD CHARACTERIZATION

20 | P a g e
The most common trigger events for the occurrence of flood in the province are the tropical cyclones that bring
heavy rainfall within the catchment areas in the province and its neighboring areas. In some cases heavy
monsoon rains causes inundation to highly flood prone communities. Barangays that are susceptible to flood
hazards are those within the influence areas of the major rivers and creeks traversing the province. One of the
primary contributing factors for the occurrence of these hazards is heavy siltation of waterways due to lahar,
resulting in the limited capacity to handle heavy flash flood water flow from the rain catchment areas.

Based on the study conducted by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB), flooding in some municipalities of
the province is aggravated by anthropogenic factors, or those whose origins can be traced to the activities of
individual people or human groups, clogged drainage canals; structurally controlled flooding such as elevated
roads and highways, irrigation canals and excessive release of water from dams and water impoundments;
artificial damming along waterways (irrigation system and natural river/creek channels) blocking the flow of the
channels causing it to overflow its banks.

Figure 2 shows the Hydrometeorologic (Flood and Landslide) Hazard Map prepared by the MGB. Table 4 list the
areas that are susceptible (high, moderate and low) to flooding. Susceptibility of barangays was rated based on
the following parameters: 1) Low – 0 to 0.5 meter depth of floodwaters; 2) Moderate – 0.51 to 1meter depth and
3) High – more than 1 meter depth of floodwaters.

In the MGB’s assessment, one hundred thirty six (136) barangays out of five hundred eleven (511) barangays of
fourteen (14) of the 18 municipalities/city are high susceptible to flooding/flashfloods. Settlements are found in
these highly susceptible areas in Moncada, La Paz, Victoria, Concepcion, Camiling, Paniqui, Gerona, and Tarlac
City. Every time there is unusually large volume of rainfall in these areas, agricultural areas and houses are
submerged in floods resulting in damage to properties and even occasional loss of lives.

B.2 TYPHOONS

A typhoon is a violent cyclone that occurs in the northwest Pacific Ocean. Typhoons feature heavy rains and
winds that reached up to more than 250 kilometers per hour. Similar storms that occur in other parts of the world
are called tropical cyclones or hurricanes.. They form over warm seas between about 5 and 20 degrees of
latitude from the equator. They tend to move west, northwest, and eventually northeast at speeds of 10 to 20
miles (16 to 32 kilometers) per hour. Inside a typhoon, strong winds blow in a counterclockwise direction around
an area of low pressure at the storm's center, which is called the eye. The heavy rains and strong winds of a
typhoon can cause great loss of life and huge amount in property damage.

B.3.1. HISTORICAL OCCURRENCE

Table 6, under Flood Hazard, listing the significant flood occurrences in the province
shows that these events were caused by heavy rainfall usually brought by typhoons.
Most of the recorded damaged to properties and lives related to typhoon are attributed
mainly to the flooding and not directly due the strong winds. Table 8 shows that for the period 1948-2009, a total
of 79 tropical cyclones affected the Tarlac, consisting of 19 Tropical depressions, 23 Tropical Storm and 36
Typhoons – an average of 1.3 tropical cyclones per year.

TABLE 8.
NO. OF TROPICAL CYCLONES THAT CROSSED THE PROVINCE 50 KM FROM BOUNDARY

B.3.2. 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

21 | P a g e
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 Niño years.

C. HAZARD TO PLAN FOR: TYPHOON

Based on the ranking and assessment of the identified hazard in the province, the Provincial Government of
Tarlac is required to have a contingency plan for typhoon that shall ensure support and augmentation to its lone
city and 17 municipalities in terms of preparedness and response measures before, during, and after the
occurrence of such.

The anatomy of TYPHOON HAZARD is shown below:

Like the country, Tarlac province’s vulnerability to typhoon and other meteorological phenomenon is attributed to
its geographical location along the Typhoon Belt and with Region 3 being the most frequently visited region by
typhoons, especially during rainy season and last quarter of the year.

In partnership and collaboration with component LGUs, national government and non-government agencies and
other partner DRRM stakeholders and CSOs, the Provincial Government of Tarlac thru this office regularly
implements/conducts programs, projects and activities such as tree planting and growing, and intense
information, education and communication (IEC) campaigns throughout the whole province thru various means.
Also, the installation of an AWS in the PDRRMC OpCen has hugely been helpful in forewarning different DRRM
stakeholders in the provincial level by presenting the data collected during the early Pre- Disaster Risk
Assessment (PDRA) meeting, which is helpful in coordinating preparation measures for a strong typhoon. The
Honorable Governor and PDRRMC Chairperson has also signed and issued an Executive Order prescribing the
guidelines on the implementation of pre-emptive or forced evacuation in the province in times of disasters,
emergencies or imminent danger.

The Provincial Government of Tarlac will have to prepare for the worst case scenario based on the described
table above. A severe Tropical Storm made a landfall in the province and brought torrential rains and winds of up
to 138 kph with a sustained of up to 185 kph. The moderate rain and strong wind it brought caused trees to be
uprooted and power lines to fall, causing road blockages and the isolation of the province in general. As
precautionary
23 | P a g
measure, power supply was cut-off by water and electricity providers. As a consequence, the transport of local
produce will also be affected, thus also raising concerns of food shortage. The income of local farmers will also
be severely affected because of the damaged crops and agricultural lands.

A total of 273,131 families equivalent to approximately 1,365,657 individuals will be affected including local and
foreign visitors and minimal casualty is projected because based on the province’s historical data, majority of
typhoons that affected the province brought with it strong rains and winds.

The whole Province of Tarlac will be declared under the STATE OF CALAMITY. The Provincial Management
Incident Team will be activated to conduct Rapid Damage Assessment and Needs Analysis, after which local
rescuer/volunteers will be deployed to provide search, rescue, retrieval and evacuation. The province will need
additional response capabilities due to the large scale/volume of damage brought about by the TYPHOON and
DEVASTATION due to the onslaught of the Severe Tropical Storm.
