B. MOTIVATION
Are you familiar in the game called

paper is a word that they going to
portray.
2. The player acts the word or phrase
they’ve chosen in front of other
players.
3. The first group to guess the word or
phrase gets a point.
(answers may vary)
WATER
EVACUATION
TELEVISION
FOOD
FACEMASK
About precautionary ma’am.
C. PRESENTATION
What did you notice on the words they
portray?

Okay very good class! Those are what we

need in order to survive in a volcanic
eruption.

Water, facemask, food and evacuation.

Today we will be discussing about the
precautionary measures in order for us to
survive.

D. LESSON PROPER
Class why do we need to know the In order for us to evacuate early.
precautionary measures?
In order for us to survive also ma’am.
Another idea?

Okay, very good!

(answers may vary)
What is precautionary measures?

Very good!

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES

- Precautionary actions are taken in

order to prevent something dangerous
or unpleasant from happening.

Okay so this are what we are going to do

before, during, and after the effect of volcanic
eruptions.

(answers may vary?

If you are in that situation what would you
do?

Base on your own experience or base on what

you saw on news. What is your idea on what If you are told to evacuate
Follow authorities’ instructions if they tell
to do before a volcanic eruption?
you to leave the area. Though it may seem
safe to stay at home and wait out an eruption,
doing so could be very dangerous. Volcanoes
spew hot, dangerous gases, ash, lava, and rock
that are powerfully destructive.

They will evacuate far from the volcano

ma’am.

Exactly! They evacuate for them to not get

hurt or not to get harm from the volcanic
eruption.

BEFORE

You can do many things to protect yourself

and your family from the dangers a volcanic
eruption can cause. The best way to protect
yourself and your family is to follow the
advice of local officials. Local authorities will
give you information on how to prepare for a
volcanic eruption, and if necessary, on how to
evacuate (leave the area) or take shelter where
you are.

How to prepare
Be prepared either to shelter or to evacuate.
Develop an evacuation plan and a sheltering
plan for yourself, your family, and others in
your household.
Review the plans and make sure that everyone
understands them. If you haven’t already done
so, put together an emergency supply kit
external icon. Supplies should include the
following:

 Photo of emergency supplies.

 Flashlight and extra batteries
 First aid kit and manual
 Emergency food and water
 Manual (nonelectric) can opener
 Essential medicines
 Sturdy shoes
 Respiratory (breathing) protection
 Eye protection (goggles)
 Battery-powered radio

Exposure to ash can harm your health,

particularly the respiratory (breathing) tract.

Preparing to evacuate

 Tune in the radio or television for
volcano updates.
 Listen for disaster sirens and warning
signals.
 Review your emergency plan and
gather your emergency supplies. Be
sure to pack at least a 1-week supply
of prescription medications.
 Prepare an emergency kit for your
vehicle with food, flares, booster
cables, maps, tools, a first aid kit, a
fire extinguisher, sleeping bags, a
flashlight, batteries, etc.
 Fill your vehicle’s gas tank.
 If no vehicle is available, make
arrangements with friends or family
for transportation, or follow
authorities’ instructions on where to
obtain transportation.
 Place vehicles under cover, if at all
 possible.
 Put livestock in an enclosed area. Plan
ahead to take pets with you, but be
aware that many emergency shelters
cannot accept animals.
 Fill your clean water containers.
 Fill sinks and bathtubs with water as
an extra supply for washing.
 Adjust the thermostat on refrigerators
and freezers to the coolest possible
temperature. If the power goes out,
food will stay cooler longer.

As you evacuate

 Take only essential items with you,

including at least a 1-week supply of
prescription medications.
 If you have time, turn off the gas,
electricity, and water.
 Disconnect appliances to reduce the
likelihood of electrical shock when
power is restored.
 Make sure your automobile’s
emergency kit is ready.
 Follow designated evacuation routes
—others may be blocked—and expect
heavy traffic and delays.

If you are told to take shelter where you

are
 Photo of first aid kit.
 Keep listening to your radio or
television until you are told all is safe
or you are told to evacuate. Local
authorities may evacuate specific
areas at greatest risk in your
community.
 Close and lock all windows and
outside doors.
 Turn off all heating and air
conditioning systems and fans.
 Close the fireplace damper.
 Organize your emergency supplies
and make sure household members
know where the supplies are.
 Make sure the radio is working.
 Go to an interior room without
windows that is above ground level.
 Bring your pets with you, and be sure
to bring additional food and water
supplies for them.
  It is ideal to have a hard-wired (non-
portable) telephone in the room you
select. Call your emergency contact—
a friend or family member who does
not live near the volcano—and have
the phone available if you need to
report a life-threatening condition.
Remember that telephone equipment
may be overwhelmed or damaged
during an emergency.

DURING

If a lahar, pyroclastic flow, or lava flow is

headed toward you
 Leave the area immediately. If you are
warned to evacuate because an
eruption is imminent, evacuate.
 If you can drive rather than walk, use
your vehicle to evacuate. When
driving keep doors and windows
closed, drive across the path of danger
if you can or away from the danger if
you can not, and watch for unusual
hazards in the road.

If you are indoors

 Close all windows, doors, and
fireplace or woodstove dampers.
 Turn off all fans and heating and air
conditioning systems.
 Bring pets and livestock into closed
shelters.

If you are outdoors

 Seek shelter indoors.
 If caught in a rockfall, roll into a ball
to protect your head.
 If near a stream or river, be aware of
rising water and possible mudflows in
low-lying areas. Move up-slope as
quickly as possible.
 Seek care for burns right away.
Immediate care can be life saving.
 If your eyes, nose, and throat become
irritated from volcanic gases and
fumes, move away from the area
immediately. Your symptoms should
go away when you are no longer in
contact with the gases or fumes. If the
symptoms continue, consult your
doctor.
Protecting yourself during ashfall
  Photo of respiratory mask.
 Stay inside, if possible, with windows
and doors closed.
 Wear long-sleeved shirts and long
pants.
 Use goggles to protect your eyes.If ash
is continually falling, you may not be
able to shelter indoors for more than a
few hours, because the weight of the
ash could collapse the roof of your
building and block air intakes into the
building. Listen to authorities for
advice on leaving the area when
ashfall lasts more than a few hours.

AFTER
 Listen to your local radio stations for
civil defence advice and follow
instructions.
 Stay indoors and away from volcanic
ashfall areas as much as possible.
 When it is safe to go outside, keep
your gutters and roof clear of ash as
heavy ash deposits can collapse your
roof.
 If there is a lot of ash in the water
supply, do not use your dishwasher or
washing machine.
 Avoid driving in heavy ashfall as it
stirs up ash that can clog engines and
cause serious abrasion damage to your
vehicle.
 Keep animals indoors where possible,
wash away ash on their paws or skin
to keep them from ingesting the ash,
and provide clean drinking water. None so far ma’am.
 Use a mask or a damp cloth and eye
protection when cleaning up. Moisten
the ash with a sprinkler before
cleaning.
 Look for and report broken utility
lines to appropriate authorities.
 If your property is damaged, take
notes and photographs for insurance
purposes. If you rent your property,
contact your landlord and your
contents insurance company as soon
as possible.
Know what to expect by educating yourself
Any question class? on the impact of volcanic eruptions and
relevant safety measures.
E. APPLICATION
Now let us do an activity that represents the
precautionary measures.

Proceed to your groups and make a role play

that portrays the before, during and after a
volcanic eruption.

F. GENERALIZATION
To sum our topic for today, I will call 1
student from the class to give brief summary
of our lesson for today.
