TOPOGRAPHY
Despite its flat terrain, Bacoor has some notable high points, including the Bacoor
Hill, which is a small hill that rises to an elevation of about 50 meters above sea
level. The hill is located in Barangay Talaba and is a popular destination for hiking
and sightseeing.
Overall, the topography of Bacoor has played a significant role in shaping the
municipality's development and growth. The low-lying terrain has made Bacoor
susceptible to flooding during heavy rains and typhoons, while the proximity to
Manila Bay has made it vulnerable to storm surges and coastal erosion. Despite
these challenges, Bacoor has continued to thrive as a growing urban center, with its
topography providing both opportunities and constraints for development.
CLIMATE
Bacoor has a tropical climate with two distinct seasons: a dry season from December
to May, and a wet season from June to November. The temperature in Bacoor is
relatively consistent throughout the year, with average highs ranging from 30 to
33°C and average lows ranging from 22 to 24°C.
During the dry season, Bacoor experiences hot and humid weather, with occasional
heatwaves and temperatures reaching up to 36°C. This season is characterized by
clear skies and little to no rainfall, making it a popular time for outdoor activities and
travel.
The wet season in Bacoor brings heavy rainfall and occasional thunderstorms, which
can cause flooding and landslides in some areas. The typhoon season in the
Philippines also occurs during this time, typically from July to September, which can
bring strong winds and heavy rain that can cause damage and disrupt daily life.
Overall, the climate of Bacoor is typical of the tropical weather experienced in the
Philippines, with warm temperatures and a distinct wet and dry season.
Understanding the climate is important for residents and visitors to prepare for
potential weather hazards and to plan their activities accordingly.
ECONOMY
Overall, Bacoor's economy is diverse and dynamic, with a mix of traditional and
modern industries driving its growth. The municipality's strategic location, fertile
lands, and growing infrastructure make it an attractive destination for investors and
businesses looking to expand their operations in the region.
LAND USE
Bacoor City is at the northern tip of the Province of Cavite. It lies approximately 15
kilometers southwest of the center of Manila, and about 27 kilometers from Trece
Martires City, the provincial capital. It is situated along the Manila Bay and separated
by Zapote River on its eastern boundary from the city of Las Piñas, and the Imus
River on its western boundary. It is bounded on the west by the municipalities of
Imus and Kawit, on the south by the municipality of Dasmariñas, on the north by
Bacoor Bay, and on the east by the cities of Las Piñas and Muntinlupa. The
poblacion is located inland on the northernmost part of the municipality and lies
along Bacoor Bay.
The municipality covers a total area of approximately 4,397.79 hectares. Its terrain
ranges from plain to slightly rolling. The west and the east sides are traversed by
Imus and Zapote Rivers, and both provide salt water for Bacoor’s salt farms that
double as fishponds during the rainy season. During the wet season, water flowing
from the old dams and thus filling up existing creeks serves as natural irrigation for
the municipality. The provincial road, which is traversed by municipal and barangay
roads linking all barangays of Bacoor, intersects the national road or the Aguinaldo
Highway, running north to south from Bacoor to Tagaytay City. Formerly noted for
its salt beds, Bacoor today is a bustling commercial and business center. Bacoor City
has a total of 73 barangays, of which 10 are coastal and 63 are inland
barangays.
HAZARD
Hot weather can pose several hazards to human health and the environment. One of
the most common hazards of hot weather is heat-related illnesses, such as heat
exhaustion and heat stroke, which can be life-threatening if left untreated. High
temperatures can also exacerbate pre-existing medical conditions, such as
cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.
Hot weather can also cause dehydration, as the body loses water through sweat.
Dehydration can lead to headaches, dizziness, and fatigue, and in severe cases, can
cause seizures and organ failure.
In addition to its impact on human health, hot weather can also have adverse effects
on the environment. High temperatures can increase the risk of wildfires, as dry
vegetation becomes more susceptible to ignition. Hot weather can also exacerbate
air pollution, as the high temperatures and stagnant air can trap pollutants in the
atmosphere.

This contingency measure is aligned with the 2019 NDRRMC Harmonized National
Contingency Plan (HNCP) for COVID-19 Pandemic. This will enable DepEd
CALABARZON to have better coordination horizontally, i.e. DepEd with other
NDRRMC agencies, and vertically, i.e. DepEd Central Office down to the schools.
A. Activation - The contingency plan shall be activated and implemented based on
the risk situation of the severe Hot Weather Region IV-A CALABARZON upon the
opening of SY 2022-present . Afterwards the RD directs the Schools Division
Superintendents and School Heads who shall mobilize and implement necessary
response and mitigation actions at the divisions down the school level across the
region.
B. Deactivation- Cooler weather conditions: If temperatures have significantly
decreased, and the risk of heat-related illnesses has subsided, it may be appropriate
to deactivate the contingency plan. Fewer heat-related incidents: If there have been
few or no cases of heat-related illnesses or other adverse effects of hot weather in
the previous days, it may be an indication that the contingency plan is no longer
necessary. Improved awareness and preparedness: If staff, students, and parents
have become more aware of the risks associated with hot weather and have taken
steps to prepare for and respond to these risks, it may be appropriate to deactivate
the contingency plan.
C. Non-activation – When the response plan is enough for the needs of the
affected individual of all the LGU’s, the Contingency Plan will not be activated

Before Install air conditioning: Install air conditioning in
classrooms, offices, and other areas where students and
staff will be spending time.
Ensure proper ventilation: Make sure that buildings are
properly ventilated to allow for the circulation of air and
reduce the risk of heat build-up.
Provide access to cool water: Make sure that students
and staff have access to cool water to stay hydrated
during hot weather.

Review and revise the contingency plan: After the heat wave,
principals should review the contingency plan and make any
necessary revisions or updates to improve the school's response to
future heat waves.
This contingency plan for Severe Hot Weather shall be effective upon publication.
The plan shall be considered a “working document “and be subjected to continuous
review and enhancement by the DepEd Technical Working Group based on latest
scientific studies about geological hazards, risk assessment findings and innovations
in DRRM policies and standards.
