Marbon National High School is located at Purok 5, Marbon, Talacogon, Agusan del
Sur.
It is about 9 kilometers away from the Municipal proper and 9.5 kilometers away from the
district office. Travel time from the Municipal proper to the school would take about 20-30
minutes through multicab, motorcycle and other four wheels vehicles.

Marbon National High School was constructed in an estimsted area of 3 hectares of

land.

Two buildings located on top of the hill which is very ideal, since it is free from noise
and other disturbances coming from the community. The school is very much environment
friendly considering that everywhere is green, likewise it is a child-friendly too. There are
four (4) school buildings used as instructional classrooms. Only one (1) classroom
(TechVoc.building) has its own comfort room. One room is used as the principal’s office and
the Library. The school has 8 Teachers, (7 are regular and 1 probationary) 1 head Teacher
and 1 Administrative Assistant. This year’s enrolment is 203 . Male is 105 and Female is
98.
The school is equipped with some amenities such as Herbal Garden, playground and
school vegetable garden. With regards to donations from private individuals and
organizations, the school has never run out of stakeholders, benefactors and donors. Marbon
National High School is implementing the K-12 Curriculum. Grade 7 to Grade 12. It has
special programs and projects such as Brigada Eskwela,SDRRM.

Hazards and Disasters

Earthquake
Talacogon Municipality lies along Philippine Fault Zone (PFZ), PFZ is a left lateral strike-
slip fault that transects the whole archipelago along a general strike of N30◦–40◦W from
northwestern Luzon to southern Mindanao (PHIVOLCS, 2000; Barrier et al., 1991).

2
Based on the historical timeline workshop in municipal level, a magnitude 6.8 earthquake
struck eastern Mindanao in May 1920. During the 1976 Moro Gulf earthquake, residents felt
a strong earthquake. Community members describe the earthquake as the sudden movement
of land. There is no available warning system yet for earthquakes. It was also during 2000s
and 2011 where combination of earthquake and flood happened. Earthquakes and associated
fault lines increases risks for occurrence of landslides.

Landslides
A high portion of Marbon National High School is prone to landslides, during the MGB
survey in the area 2013, a tension crack is observed and identified. MGB recommendation is
to abandon the DPWH project classroom where a tension crack was identified. Scraping off
the ridge where the classroom unit is located is also recommended.

Soil Erosion
Soil erosion and scouring is evident at the back of Grade 8 classroom. MGB
recommendation is to re-channel of the creek that traverses at the school site is recommended
to mitigate further scouring towards the school. Conduct regular maintenance on the existing
canals at the purok. If necessary, concreting of the said drainage canals is recommended to
facilitate surface run-off more sufficiently.

 Worst Case Scenario
Based on disaster assessment of the school, the teachers and personnel of Marbon
National High School agreed that a strong earthquake that may trigger landslide is the
possible worst case scenario that the school should prepare for. Anticipated effects will be:

 An emergency situation that would require immediate evacuation of teachers

personnel students to evacuate to an open and safe area.
 High casualty count of at least 30% of the school population
 Loss of properties of school
 All school buildings including school facilities will be damaged.
 Students, teachers and personnel will panic.
 Trees maybe uprooted and may cause accidents to school children

Based on the worst-case scenario, needs were anticipated and available resources
mentioned. Gaps identified are as follows:

 Handheld radio for communication

 No drills on landslides.
 Additional exits for landslide
 Evacuation plan for exit mapping
 Limited medicines and equipment like stretchers and spine board

Risk Reduction Measures

To address the gaps and to reduce the risks, the following measures must be
undertaken:

 Continued strengthening of SDRRC and BDRRMCs’capacities on preparedness and

specific emergency response requirements
 Continued strengthening of SDRRMCs’, parents and students capacities
 Integration of disaster risk management sessions in classes particularly regarding
earthquake.
 Information drive about Disaster Preparedness for the students
 Regular conduct of earthquake drill and landslide drill
 Improve the community linkage and strengthen tie-up with BDRRMC and SDRRMC
 Conduct of school building inspection to identify safe and unsafe areas in the school,
especially the classroom
 Strengthen school buildings and rehabilitate the grade 7 classroom.
 Provision of preparedness and emergency equipment
 Improve exit points and evacuation route for earthquake and landslide

Warning System
While it is no longer necessary that the bell be rung after an earthquake to call for
evacuation, the bell will still be used during earthquake drill as a “signal” that there is a
strong earthquake. In an actual earthquake, the shaking in itself will serve as the signal for
everyone to duck, cover, and hold and evacuation will automatically follow after the shaking
or when it slowed down.

Warning Description of the Necessary Action
