MESSAGE
My warmest Greetings in the name of Public Service.
Our municipality is not spared of any natural and man-made calamities. For the past years, we
had experienced several of it. Thus, the local government has come up with the comprehensive plan
for disaster preparedness and mitigation. And one of the vital components in disaster preparedness
and mitigation is the formulation of this contingency plan.
This Contingency Plan would serve as our guide and reference for all our actions in the event
disaster or calamity hits our municipality.
I am very grateful for the Municipal Risk Reduction and Management Council-Mawab, the
BDRRMC and other stakeholders for their concerted efforts which made this plan a reality.
Lastly, I am very much optimistic that this plan will help us achieve our goal of keeping
Mawab a disaster resilient place.
A. Background
The municipality of Mawab is one of the municipalities of Compostela Valley Province. It is located
southeastern section of the province. It lies between 7’ 3” North Latitude and 125’ 22” East Longitude. It is
bounded on the Northeast by the municipality of Nabunturan, on the Northwest by the city of Tagum, on the
west by the municipality of New Bataan and on the south by the municipality of Maco.
Mawab has 11 barangays and 49 sitios interconnected with barangay/municipal and provincial roads and
bridges.
Barangay Poblacion, the seat of the municipal government is 75 kilometers away from Davao City and 19
kilometers away from Tagum City. It is 17 kilometers from Nabunturan, the capital town of the province, where
the provincial capitol is located.
As to its’ slope classification, 30.60 percent or 5,186 hectares are 18 degrees and above (upland) and 69.40
percent or 11,766 hectares are below 18 degrees slope or low land as multi-use area.
The highest elevation noted in the municipality is within the range from 500 meters to 1,000 meters. This
comprises a total land area of 1,062 hectares or 6.26 percent of the total municipal land area. The lowest
elevation is less than 100 meters which has the longest land area of 8,235 hectares or 48.58 percent of the total
land area.
Soil Type -
The municipality has three (3) basic soil types namely:
San Manuel Silty Clay Loam – this type has 30-40 centimeters surface soil. This is characterized by having
light brown to grayish brown, fine to medium granular and friable silty clay loam. Its natural fertility gives the
land high yield on any crop raised and is very slightly susceptible to erosion. This type of soil exists in the
barangays of Malinawon, Nueva Visayas, Andili and part of Nuevo Iloco.
Camansa Sandy Clay Loam – this type is one of the extensive soils. It occupies the hilly and mountainous
portions in the barangays of Tuboran, Salvacion, Sawangan, Concepcion, and part of Nuevo Iloco, Nueva
Visayas and Andili.
Cabangan Clay Loam – this type is good for agricultural purposes such as rice paddy. It can also be used for
upland crops with simple drainage system. It has a depth of 50-10 cm. deep. (Table 3)
RATIONALE
Contingency Planning aims to prepare an organization to respond well to an emergency and its potential
humanitarian impact. Developing a contingency plan involves making decisions in advance about the
management of human and financial resources, coordination, and communication procedures, and being aware
of a range of technical and logistical responses.
Strengthening preparedness at the Barangay and Municipal level is critical to save lives, protect livelihoods, and
strengthen recovery from disasters and crises. By integrating current diverse practices of contingency planning
through agreed standards and tools for multi-hazard preparedness, Local Government Units here in the
Municipality of Mawab will be able to fill in the gaps for emergency coordination.
Contingency Planning ensures that we know what to do when disaster strikes, and have the systems and tools to
respond fast. It means, anticipating the types of disasters we might face and knowing practically how to manage
disasters when they do strike.
The contingency plan of the Local Government is hazard specific. Each hazard will have a contingency plan. It
will depend on the hazards identified by the respective communities and local government unit.
Cognizant of the government’s inherent responsibility to ensure the welfare and safety of its constituents, the
local government formulated this Contingency Plan for Flood which will focus on the primary objective - Zero
Casualty.
BENEFITS
MLGU/BLGUs
The Contingency Flood Plan of the Municipality will both benefit the municipality and barangays affected by
flood. The Local Government of Mawab and the Barangay Local Government Units of Concepcion, Poblacion,
Nuevo Iloco, , Andili, Bawani and Sawangan which are identified very susceptible to flooding, likewise other
barangays that might be affected by flood will use this contingency plan to manage its possible effects.
Each institution will benefit from this plan as this will be their guide on how to respond efficiently and
effectively when disaster or calamity strikes. Furthermore, they can also initiate measures to mitigate potential
impact of disaster.
Community
Constituents from the barangay can use the plan for evacuation management, communication, early warning
system and safety reference purposes in times of disasters. Families will be more prepared and resilient to
disasters if they are well informed of every action that has been stipulated in the plan.
NGAs/Humanitarian Groups
In the same manner with the LGU, National Line Agencies and Humanitarian groups that will address specific
needs (i.e. power, communication, infrastructures, food, water, shelter, sanitation, medical etc.) from a post-
disaster affected area can efficiently and effectively respond and deliver these needs because of the data and
coordination schemes prepared in the plan and that the response will be quick because of a coordinated Cluster
and ICS approach.
RISK PROFILE
Based on records, the municipality is vulnerable to flooding that is happening every first quarter and last quarter
of every year. Weather disturbance caused by continuous heavy rains often resulted to overflowing of the Hijo
river and other creeks surrounding the municipality. These calamity once occurred caused millions of pesos
damages to infrastructures and agricultures, including disruption of the populace normal living.
Basins of rivers, creeks, canals, and other bodies of water, urbanization has caused the lowering of the
areas’ water holding capacities, and the resulting increase in the amount of rainwater, mud, and
garbage flowing directly into these waterways has increased the susceptibility of these areas to flood
occurrence, all human initiated activities which are considered to be the aggravating factors.
In December 2012, typhoon Pablo hit the Philippines, and the Province of Compostela Valley was not spared of
this calamity. The whole municipality of Mawab particularly the identified high risk barangays experienced
flood with water level at the height of 2.0 meters which lasted for almost 3 days.
At the start of year 2017, the municipality of Mawab once again experienced sudden increase of water level due
to the torrential rains brought about by the LPA and Tail-end of Cold Fronts. These caused overflowing of
waters in several waterways, rivers affecting barangays in the low-lying areas.
Herewith are some of the photo documentation of the recent calamities that occurred in the municipality of
Mawab:
