CHAPTER 1: BACKGROUND
A.INTRODUCTION
B inmaley is a coastal municipality in the province of Pangasinan facing the Lingayen gulf in
between Lingayen and Dagupan City. It has 33 barangays and it is classified as a first-class municipality.
The municipality has a land area of 118.50 square kilometers or 45.75 square miles which constitutes
2.17% of Pangasinan's total area. Its population as determined by the 2020 Census was 86,881. This
represented 2.75% of the total population of Pangasinan province, or 1.64% of the overall population of
the Ilocos Region. Based on these figures, the population density is computed at 733 inhabitants per
square kilometer or 1,899 inhabitants per square mile. Binmaley’s Climate is tropical the average
temperature is 27.5 the average rainfall is 2,333 mm. Flooding is a top priority hazard.
Binmaley derived its name from the Pangasinan phrase “nanmaliw ya baley”, meaning, a place or
territory that has been converted into a town because it is believed that the municipality was formerly a
part of the town of Binalatongan, now known as San Carlos City.
The town is famous for its bangus (milkfish) aquaculture due to the existence of its numerous
fishponds (pokok in the Pangasinan language). Binmaley has a land area of 11, 850 hectares and a
population of 83,052. Based from the Bureau of Local Government Finance, the annual regular revenue
of Binmaley for the fiscal year of 2016 was P160, 401,850.71.
According to the 2015 Census, the age group with the highest population in Binmaley is 5 to 9,
with 8,858 individuals. The median age of 25 indicates that half of the entire population of Binmaley are
aged less than 25 and the other half are over the age of 25. The latest census figures in 2015 denote a
positive growth rate of 1.03%, or an increase of 4,350 people from the previous population of 78,702 in
2010.
General Douglas McArthur used the town’s beach, designated as “yellow beach” alongside the
beaches of Lingayen, Dagupan and San Fabian, in their landing operations to liberate Luzon from
Japanese occupation during World War II. Binmaley’s town center has a Neo-classical church dating
back to the 17th century. It also became famous throughout the Philippines for the outstanding
academic achievements of students. Its name roughly means “the place which became a town or went
to town in the Pangasinan language.
The Philippines is among top five high-risk countries which experienced natural disasters such as
earthquake, flashfloods, mudslides, typhoon and volcanic eruptions. In the World Risk Report 2013, the
country is ranked third as the most disaster-prone country in the world for having the greatest number
of hazards, damages, and fatalities every year (AND, 2014, p.64). This was made more apparent after
the devastation caused by Super Typhon (ST) Yolanda (a.k.a., “Haiyan”) in Region VIII on November 8,
2013. Based on Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Mines and Geo-Science Bureau
(DENR0MGB), Pangasinan is among the top flood prone provinces. In a study on Vulnerability
Assessment of Pangasinan province to typhoons, floods and landslides, exposure, sensitivity, adaptive
capacity and overall vulnerability of each city and municipality were assessed and ranked from most
vulnerable to the least. Binmaley is categorized as mild vulnerable.

“It’s always best to be prepared even before a disaster strikes,” former Mayor Simplicio L.
Rosario told the Philippine Information Agency.
The above statement is in line with the adaptive capacity of Municipality during disasters. In
case a calamity strikes, the local government of Binmaley wants to be sure that it has enough
evacuation centers for affected residents. Aside from the evacuation centers, Rosario said that the local
government has also procured new rescue vehicle as well as rescue equipment and conducted basic life
support training as part of its disaster risk reduction and management programs.
Sabangan is a barangay in the municipality of Binmaley, in the province of Pangasinan. Its
population as determined by the 2020 Census was 768. This represented 0.88% of the total population
of Binmaley.Sabangan is situated at approximately 16.0521, 120.2956, in island of Luzon. Elevation at
these coordinates is estimated at 5.9 meters or 19.4 feet above sea level and situated at the center of an
ocean connected to Lingayen Gulf and a river.
The population of Sabangan grew from 614 in 1990 to 768 in 2020, an increase of 154 people over
the course of 30 years. The latest census figures in 2020 denote a positive growth rate of 0.59%, or an
increase of 21 people, from the previous population of 747 in 2015. According to the 2015 Census, the
age group with the highest population in Sabangan is 20 to 24, with 90 individuals. Conversely, the age
group with the lowest population is 80 and over, with 3 individuals. Combining age groups together,
those aged 14 and below, consisting of the young dependent population which include infants/babies,
children and young adolescents/teenagers, make up an aggregate of 27.31% (204). Those aged 15 up to
64, roughly, the economically active population and actual or potential members of the work force,
constitute a total of 67.20% (502). Finally, old dependent population consisting of the senior citizens,
those aged 65 and over, total 5.49% (41) in all. The computed Age Dependency Ratios mean that among
the population of Sabangan, there are 41 youth dependents to every 100 of the working age population;
there are 8 aged/senior citizens to every 100 of the working population; and overall, there are 49
dependents (young and old-age) to every 100 of the working population.
The median age of 25 indicates that half of the entire population of Sabangan are aged less than 25 and
the other half are over the age of 25. https://www.philatlas.com/luzon/r01/pangasinan/binmaley/sabangan.html
EARTHQUAKE
An earthquake is a weak to violent shaking of the ground produced by the sudden movement
of rock materials below the earth’s surface.
The earthquakes originate in tectonic plate boundary. The focus is point inside the earth where
the earthquake started, sometimes called the hypocenter, and the point on the surface of the earth
directly above the focus is called the epicenter.
There are two ways by which we can measure the strength of an earthquake: magnitude and
intensity. Magnitude is proportional to the energy released by an earthquake at the focus. It is
calculated from earthquakes recorded by an instrument called seismograph. It is represented by
Arabic Numbers (e.g. 4.8, 9.0). Intensity on the other hand, is the strength of an earthquake as
perceived and felt by people in a certain locality. It is a numerical rating based on the relative effects to
people, objects, environment, and structures in the surrounding. The intensity is generally higher near
the epicenter. It is represented by Roman Numerals (e.g. II, IV, IX). In the Philippines, the intensity of
an earthquake is determined using the PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale (PEIS).
Types of earthquakes
There are two types of earthquakes: tectonic and volcanic earthquakes. Tectonic earthquakes are
produced by sudden movement along faults and plate boundaries. Earthquakes induced by rising lava
or magma beneath active volcanoes is called volcanic earthquakes.
At present, PHIVOLCS operates 108 (as of December 2020) seismic monitoring stations all over
the Philippines. These stations are equipped with seismometers that detect and record earthquakes.
Data is sent to the PHIVOLCS Data Receiving Center (DRC) to determine earthquake parameters such
as magnitude, depth of focus and epicenter. Together with reported felt intensities in the area (if any),
earthquake information is released once these data are determined.

This Contingency Plan focuses on earthquakes-the 3 rd priority hazard. The Philippines’ geographical and
geological setting makes it prone to earthquakes as it is situated within the Pacific Ring of Fire, where two
major tectonic plates of the world meet. This would explain the occurrence of twenty (20) earthquakes
recorded per day and that makes up to 100 to 200 earthquakes felt every year some of which could cause
tsunamis. The Philippines is likewise home to 300 volcanoes, 22 of which are active and 24 are potentially active.
The image below depicts documented earthquake occurrences in the Philippines, their Magnitude (the energy
generated by the earthquake) and Depth of the earthquake from sea level.
E ach year, approximately 232 million people are affected by natural disasters, 100,000 people are died and
more than US$100 billion global in harm between 2001 and 2010.
Natural hazard is hydrological, atmospheric and geophysical incident such as tsunami,
earthquake, drought, flood or windstorm which caused damage or loss and natural disaster is severe
hazardous incident which affected the natural and built environment of affected regions. The Philippines
is among top five high-risk countries which experienced natural disasters such as earthquake,
flashfloods, mudslides, typhoon and volcanic eruptions. The Philippines had experienced five floods,
eight storms in form of tropical cyclones and earthquake in 2013. The landslides occurred in the areas
which surrounded by the mountains and coastlines.
Besides, Pangasinan province also listed as flood and typhoon prone province and located in the
west central area of Luzon, proved to be vulnerable to those disasters. Pangasinan is third biggest
province in the Philippines which constituted almost 42% of the region and 2% of total Philippine area.
There are 28% or 49 of of 175 typhoons that entered the Philippine area of responsibility directly
affected the province. The Pangasinan’s Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council
(PDRRMC) had reported total of 405 casualties due to typhoons which 188 were reported died, 183
people injured and 34 people were missing.

SCHOOL CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR EARTHQUAKE
A vulnerability map of the Pangasinan province had been created to accentuate the
vulnerability of the cities and municipalities. The different vulnerability levels were assigned specific
colour codes as shown in Fig. 1. The city of Dagupan is the most vulnerable and is also the only town
that was categorized as “Highly Vulnerable.” The municipalities Calasiao, Santa Barbara, Sual, and
Bolinao closely follow as “Moderately Vulnerable” areas.

SCHOOL CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR EARTHQUAKE
Create an earthquake plan. This includes delegating to your family members specific tasks that will be
accomplished when an earthquake occurs (e.g., where to meet when a quake hits, who will carry the
emergency kits, who will call emergency contacts, etc.)
Prepare an emergency kit. The kit must include ready-to-eat food, bottled water, a first aid kit,
charger, flashlight, batteries, and important documents.
Address potential home hazards. Heavy furniture (e.g., shelves and cabinets) and appliances must be
secured by strapping or hooking them to the wall. Don’t put heavy items near your home’s exit.
2. During an Earthquake
Drop, cover, and hold. If possible, do this until the shaking stops. This is the best precaution in
case you’re in a high-rise building. Refrain from rushing to the exit (if there are many people) or
using an elevator. If there’s no available cover, protect your head and neck using pillows,
books, or arms.
Move away from hazards such as windows, wires, fuel lines, trees, or sinkholes.
Stop the vehicle if you’re inside it but make sure you’re far from any hazard.
Go to the high ground if the shaking continues for more than 20 seconds. A tsunami might
ensue because of the persisting quake.
Walk swiftly if you’re evacuating. This is faster than driving to the evacuation site and will keep
you from falling debris.
Lock your wheelchair if you’re sitting on it.
If you’re trapped, make noise using metals or any available material. Shouting should be your
last resort as it may drain your energy and make you inhale the dust.
3. After an Earthquake
Prepare for aftershocks. Although these are weaker than the main shaking, they might still
impose a risk to your safety and lead to further damage to infrastructure. Thus, stay alert and look out
for your loved ones. In case of an aftershock, be ready to practice safety measures just like you did
during the main quake.
Look for cracks in your home’s walls and roof. Don’t forget to check electrical and water lines
as well. If you find broken electrical lines, avoid using appliances and turning on the lights. Report
immediately to the local government unit or any concerned agency in case of faulty electrical or water
line.
Stay tuned for authorities’ announcements when it’s safe to return home in case you’re in an
evacuation sit.

Pangasinan is one of the provinces which experienced natural disasters such as earthquake,
floods, mudslides, typhoon and volcanic eruptions. Pangasinan had experienced flooding, storms in
form of tropical cyclones and earthquakes. Because of these natural disasters, our school has
experienced from minor damages to severe damages in facilities and some areas of our school are
under water.
Since our town Binmaley is near coastal area, it has an impact on human lives that can lead to
injury or even death.
● Affected population
Based on the current data or existing records of the school, there are 100 learners, 10 teaching
and non-teaching personnel that will be affected by a earthquake.
Based on the above data, it shows that there will be school property and facilities will be
affected by these calamities due to the school’s capacity of monitoring, early warning, forecasting and
hazard identification were very much strengthened.
