Objectives:
1. Distinguish and differentiate among
and between different
hydrometeorological hazards.

2. Apply appropriate measures /

interventions before, during, and after
hydrometeorological hazards.
Isang araw, may magkasintahan
na nagngangalang Ramon at
Sarah, hilig nilang mamasyal sa
iba’t-ibang lugar.
Mahilig magbasa ng LIBRO si
Sarah, habang sya ay
nagbabasa ng libro, nakita nya
ang isla ng Boracay.
“Ramon, ang ganda ng lugar na ito, puntahan
natin.” wika ni Sarah.
“Oo naman mahal, pupuntahan natin yan.”
wika naman ni Ramon.
Tinupad nga ni Ramon na mamasyal sila sa
isla. Madami silang nadaanang lugar, nakita
rin nila ang mga bulubunduking tanawin.
At nang makarating sila sa isla, bumili si
Ramon ng isang magandang SOMBRERO
upang hindi mainitan ang kanyang sinisinta.
Habang sila ay naglalakbay, ‘di na
nila namalayan na gabi na pala at
nang tumingala sila sa langit ay
kay daming BITUING
nagniningning.
Lulan ng kanilang BANGKA, may
nasambit si Sarah.
“Ramon kay gandang pagmasdan
ang mga bituin, mag wish tayo.”
Ngunit ngumiti at sabay hawak sa mga
kamay ni Sarah at ang sambit ni
Ramon. “Isa lang naman ang wish ko,
ang makasama ka habambuhay.” at
silay nagkatitigan at nagkatitigan pa.
Ngunit, subalit datapwat, biglang
bumuhos ang malakas na ulan na may
kasamang malakas na hangin.
May paparating na bagyo, sigaw ni
Ramon.
Hayan na yata si Tisoy! Sambit ni
Sarah.
Biglang kumidlat at natamaan ang
DULO ng bangka, umiiyak na si
Sarah.
“Ramon natatakot ako,”
“Huwag kang matakot mahal ko
andito lang ako.”
Kumidlat muli at natamaan ang
MAGKABILANG PARTE ng bangka.
Habang dahan-dahang
lumulubog ang bangka,
ang magkasintahan ay
puno ng saya, buhay nila’y
hindi nawala dahil sa
pananalig at life vest na
inyong ginawa.
What is hydrometeorological
hazard?
 Hydrometeorology: it’s a branch of
meteorology and hydrology that
studies the transfer of water and
energy between the land surface
and the lower atmosphere.

 Hazard:any source that can cause

harm or damage to humans,
property or the environment.
Hydrometeorological hazard is
“Process or phenomenon of
atmospheric, hydrological that may
cause loss of life, injury , health
impacts, property damage, loss of
livelihoods and services and
environmental damage”.
Tropical Cyclones is a
rotating, organized system
of clouds and thunderstorms
that originates over tropical
waters.
Classification of Tropical Cyclones
1. Tropical Depression (TD) – a tropical cyclone
with maximum winds of up to 61 kph.
2. Tropical Storm (TS) – a tropical cyclone with
maximum wind speed of 62 to 88 kph.
3. Severe Tropical Storm (STS) – a tropical
cyclone with maximum wind speed of 89 to 117
kph.
4. Typhoon (TY) – a tropical cyclone with
maximum wind speed of 118 to 220 kph.
5. Super Typhoon (STY) – a tropical cyclone with
maximum wind speed exceeding 220 kph
A typhoon is a severe
weather disturbance
characterized by strong
winds and heavy rains
which revolve around a
central low pressure
area.
Typhoon Structure
 RAdio Detection And Ranging

A radar sends out electromagnetic

waves to the atmosphere that is
then reflected by hydrometeors
present in the sky.
Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal #1
WINDS: 30-60 kph may be expected in at least 36 hr

No damage to very light damage.

Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal #2
WINDS: 61-120 kph may be expected in at least 24
hr

Light to moderate damage

Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal #3
WINDS: 121-170 kph may be expected in at
least 18 hr

Moderate to heavy damage.

Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal #4
WINDS: 171-220 kph may be expected in at least 12 hr

Heavy to very heavy damage

Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal #5
WINDS: > 220 kph may be expected in at least 12 hr

Very heavy to widespread damage.

ACT IT OUT
Identify the following:
1. A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained
winds of up to 61 kph?
2. A tropical cyclone with maximum wind speed of
62 to 88 kph.?
3. A tropical cyclone with maximum wind speed of
68 to 117 kph?
4. A tropical cyclone with maximum wind speed of
up to 118 to 220 kph
5. A tropical cyclone with maximum wind speed
exceeding 220 kph?
6. It is a branch of meteorology and hydrology that
studies the transfer of water and energy between
the land surface and the lower atmosphere.
7. Any source that can cause harm or damage to
humans, property or the environment.
8. It is a phenomenon of atmospheric, that may
cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts,
property damage, loss of livelihoods and services,
social and economic disruption, or environmental
damage”.
9. It is a rotating, organized system of clouds and
thunderstorms that originates over tropical waters.
10. It is use to forecasts track of the movement of
tropical cyclone?
Enumeration: Enumerate the following.
1-6. Give at least 2 precautionary or safety
measures before, during and after the typhoon.

7-11. Classifications of Tropical Cyclones

12-15. Give at least 3 names of tropical

cyclone that hits the country in 2019.
1. Which comes first, lightning or
thunder?

2. What causes lightning and thunder?

3. What safety measures will you do if

there’s lightning and thunder?
