Notes to the Teacher

What’s New
Let the students write as many as they can and process on their answers
so as not to lead the students on the wrong concepts.
 ACTIVITY: What is this?

Identify the phenomena represented by the picture. Write their names on your
answer sheet.

What is It

Describe Various Hazards that May Happen in the Wake of Tropical

Cyclones, Monsoons, Floods, or Ipo-Ipo.

The geographical location of our country in the Southeast Asia cause the
continuous occurrence of different hydrometerological phenomena and hazards. We
are always being visited by so many typhoons that caused flooding. There is also
monsoon that brings heavy rains and sometime a tornado showed up in selected
area. Why do these phenomena occur and what are the hazards people experience?
Are these hazards manageable? In this module you will find answer to those
questions with yourself. Just read, analyze and understand to learn.

Tropical Cyclone
Tropical Cyclone is a low pressure system that
generally forms over the tropics with wind and
thunderstorm activity. It is a huge, violent
whirlwind that happen in many parts of the world. Tropical cyclones that come
from the Pacific Ocean move west or northwest at an average of and those that
come from the China Sea move northwest or northeast that both can hit out
country. Tropical cyclones with maximum sustained surface winds of less than
62kph are called tropical depressions, those that reaches winds of at least 62kph
are called tropical storm
https://earth.google.com/web/data and is assigned a name. If winds reach 118kph,
then they are called hurricane in the Atlantic and
typhoon in the Pacific. Cyclones get energy from
water vapor and will eventually die down if the
supply of water vapor is cut off. Therefore,
typhoons are strongest over the ocean and
become weaker when they hit the land. The main
effects of tropical cyclones include heavy rain,
strong wind, large storm surges near landfall,
and tornadoes. The destruction from a tropical
cyclone, such as a hurricane or tropical storm
depends mainly on its intensity, its size, and its location. Heavy rainfall brought
about by tropical cyclone can lead to mudslides and landslides in mountainous
areas which block roads and delay rescues, with medical supplies, or slow the
repairs to electrical lines, telephone towers or water pipes, which could put other
lives at risk for days or month.
The tropical cyclone warning signals are usually raised when an area is about to be
hit by a tropical cyclone. As a tropical cyclone gains strength and/or gets nearer to
an area having a storm signal, the warning may be upgraded to a higher one in
that particular area. Conversely, as a tropical cyclone weakens and/or gets farther
to an area, it may be downgraded to a lower signal or may be lifted.
Classes for preschool are canceled when signal No. 1 is in effect. Elementary and
high school classes and below are cancelled under signal No. 2 and classes for
colleges, universities and below are cancelled under signal Nos. 3, 4 and 5.

Monsson
A monsoon is a seasonal shift in wind direction and pressure distribution that
causes a change in precipitation. The Northeast Monsoon features cool and dry air
that originates in a vast anticyclone - a weather
system with a high barometric pressure - which forms
over Siberia, Mongolia and northern China during
each northern winter. It causes cloud development
and rainfall at the eastern sections of the country. It
normally occurs during the months of November to
February each year.

On the other hand, the southwest monsoon or habagat comes as the southwest
trade winds that originate from the high pressure area of Australia.
It causes extensive cloud development and rainfall at the western sections of the
country. Occurs during the months of June to October each year.
https://weatherph.org/habagat-need-know-2/ Flooding caused by monsoon rains can destroy
property and crops

Tornado /Ipo-Ipo
Tornadoes or locally known as ipo-ipo are rapidly
rotating columns of air that extend from the base
of a thunderstorm and make contact with the
ground. Before reaching the surface, they are
called funnel clouds Before reaching the surface,
they are called funnel Tornadoes form when
warm, humid air collides with cold, dry air. The
violent swirling air column usually carries debris
and other objects that it can pick up from the
ground. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado.
Tornadoes occur anywhere in our country at an average of 12-24 times in a year
(PAGASA,2011), but more on USA with an average of 120 each year.
The immediate hazards of tornadoes are (1) Strong whirling of winds that can pick
up objects as heavy as vehicle, smash and break objects along its path and hit
people as they fall to the ground. (2) Fragments of destroyed objects are thrown
away and soil particles scatter around the area, potentially hitting onto structure or
person. (3) Cause fire if the tornado destroys power lines (4) Kill lives and destroy
properties.

Flooding

A flood is a body of water that covers land

which is normally dry. Floods
are common natural disasters that
can affect millions of people around the
world. They destroy houses and buildings,
and carry soil away from valuable farming
land. Floods can
also contaminate drinking water and lead
to diseases. They are often caused by rivers,
but overflowing lakes and seas can also
cause flooding.

What’s More

Activity 1.1 Give Me the Sign!

It is always being a problem in your community the river bank that
overflowed during the time of typhoon, a reason for the small vehicle like tricycle
not to pass through it. But there are motorists who are still passing on it in spite of
the danger pose on them. As a concern citizen, make a signage indicating the
hazard brought about by flooding in the area. Do this by using the materials below;
 Colored paper, plastic cover, adhesive tape, pentel pen or marker, a peg,
nail, hammer
 Explain why you made that kind of signage

volcanic activity

Activity 1.2 A Road to Safe-tea!

You have a class mate who is a transferee from other schools. A week after he came
in to your barangay a very destructive typhoon is about to landfall in your area and
the community is advice to evacuate in the evacuation center where he is not
familiar with. Help him to be safe by;
1. Make a route map showing how he can go to the area assigned for the
evacuation site.
2. Provide signage’s to areas that are in need of, to ensure the security of your
classmates’ family. This must be included in your map.

What I Have Learned

Make a poem with 4 stanzas. Each stanza must have 3 lines about the
hazards brought about by tropical cyclones, monsoons, flood and tornado or ipo-
ipo. Include also the to-do-list during, before and after the hazards.
 What I Can Do

TIP

Make an interview of your respective barangay officials and find out the following:
1. Areas in the barangay susceptible to hydrometeorological hazards
(e.g. flooding, storm surges and landslides)
2. Preparation and response of the Barangay to these hazards Location of
evacuations site/s Location of nearest emergency health service (e.g.
hospitals etc.) Ask the student / group to submit a short report
