Name: _________________________________________
Section: ________________________________________

A. OBJECTIVES: At the end of the activity, the students should be able to:
1. identify areas/locations exposed to hazards that may lead to disaster; and
2. construct a hazard map.

B. INTRODUCTION:
Hazard maps are tools that when properly utilized by planners, developers, and
engineers, can save lives and economic losses by avoiding exposure to some hazards while
designing other development to mitigate the potential negative effects of these hazards.
Developing a hazard map can facilitate group interaction and recognition of hazards.

C. PROCEDURES:
Draw a simple yet comprehensive “Hazard Map” of (A) any area in your house (B)
locations exposed to hazards that you have visited. Do not make an evacuation map.
• The maps should be easy to understand and still roughly to scale.
• Potential hazards should be colored in red and labeled appropriately. Indicate on the
map with a word or phrase what the risk is.
• Safe areas and paths should be colored in blue.
• Identify in tabular form the potential issues brought by these hazards and suggest possible
actions.
• Be guided by the rubrics below:
