II. WHAT I NEED TO KNOW
NegOr_Q1_Earth and LifeSci11_SLKWeek8_v2
In the context of disaster risk reduction, the United Nations International
Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR), defines hazard as “a dangerous
event that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, as well as
damage or loss of property, infrastructure, livelihoods and services, social and
economic disruption and, or environmental damage.”
Having defined the term ‘hazard’, carefully observe around your
immediate vicinity. Can you identify some hazards around? That’s right! There
can be several hazards surrounding us anytime and anywhere we go. In this
module, we will particularly look at natural hazards caused by geological
processes namely, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and landslides.
EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS
GROUND SHAKING – it is the first main
earthquake hazard characterized by
mild to intense movement (shaking)
of the earth’s crust (ground). The
shaking can damage buildings and
other structures
https://filipiknow.net/earthquake-in-the-philippines/
LIQUEFACTION – it is when the sand or soil
and rising groundwater mixing together due
to intense earthquakes. During liquefaction,
the ground becomes very soft like a
quicksand, so that structures or buildings
above the ground may begin to tip over,
lean sideways, or even sink significantly. https://designfloor.org/soil-liquefaction/
GROUND DISPLACEMENT – the
second main earthquake hazard;
also referred to as surface rupture
NegOr_Q1_Earth and LifeSci11_SLKWeek8_v2
which is characterized by ground movement along a fault.
https://www.sciencetimes.com/articles/20683/20190423/the-big-
one-philippines-project-a-death-toll-of-34-000-from-possible-
quake.htm
FLOODING – the third main earthquake
hazard is flooding as an earthquake can
rupture or break dams or leeves along a
river. The water from the river or reservoir
would then flood the area, damaging
buildings, vegetations, nearby villages
and sweeping away or drowning people.
https://edition.cnn.com/2016/11/14/asia/new-zealand-
earthquake/index.html
Tsunamis and Seiches can also cause a
great deal of damage. A tsunami is what
most people call a tidal wave, but it has
nothing to do with the tides on the ocean.
It is a huge wave caused by an
earthquake under the ocean. Tsunamis
can be tens of feet high when they hit the
shore and can do enormous damage to
the coastline. Seiches are like small
tsunamis. They occur on lakes that are
shaken by the earthquake and are usually
only a few feet high, but they can still
flood or knock down houses, and tip over
trees.
FIRE - The fourth main earthquake hazard is
fire. These fires can be started by broken
gas lines and power lines, or tipped over
wood or coal stoves. They can be a serious
problem, especially if the water lines that
feed the fire hydrants are broken, too. For
example, after the Great San Francisco
Earthquake in 1906, the city burned for
https://www.india.com/news/world
/tsunami-alert-issued-after-7-9-
magnitude-earthquake-hits-papua-
new-guinea-1774222/
NegOr_Q1_Earth and LifeSci11_SLKWeek8_v2
three days. Most of the city was destroyed and 250,000 people were left
homeless.
Most of the hazards to people come from man-made structures
themselves and the shaking they receive from the earthquake. The real
dangers to people are being crushed in a collapsing building, drowning
in a flood caused by a broken dam or levee, getting buried under a
landslide, or being burned in a fire.
HAZARDS DUE TO VOLCANIC ERUPTION
PYROCLASTIC DENSITY CURRENTS -
Pyroclastic density currents are are
gravity-driven, rapidly moving,
ground-hugging mixtures of rock
fragments and hot gases. This
mixture forms a dense fluid that
moves along the ground with an
upper part that is less dense as
particles fall toward the ground.
The behavior of the fluid depends
upon the solids concentration
relative to the amount of hot gases (i.e., solids-gas ratio). High concentration
density flows are called "pyroclastic flows" and are essentially nonturbulent and
confined to valleys. Low concentration density flows are called "pyroclastic
surges" which can expand over hill and valley like hurricanes.
LAHARS – Lahars, also known as “mudflows” are part of the family of debris
flows that are fluids composed of mixtures of water and particles of all sizes
from clay-size to gigantic boulders. The
abundance of solid matter carries the
water, unlike watery floods where water
carries the fragments. Lahars are
composed of volcanic particles and
originate directly or indirectly from
volcanic action. Lahars can form by hot
pyroclastic surges or flows entering
NegOr_Q1_Earth and LifeSci11_SLKWeek8_v2
watershed systems or flowing over snow and ice, by eruptions through crater
lakes, by heavy rains on loose volcanic debris.
LAVA FLOWS - Lava flows rarely threaten human life because lava usually
moves slowly, a few centimeters per hour for silicic flows to several
km/hour for basaltic flows. Major hazards of lava flows include burying,
crushing, covering, burning
everything in their path. Sometimes
lava melts ice and snow to cause
floods and lahars. Lava flows can
destroy dam rivers to form lakes
that might overflow and break their
dams causing floods.
TEPHRA FALLS AND BALLISTIC
PROJECTILES - Tephra consists of
pyroclastic fragments of any size and
origin. It is a synonym for "pyroclastic
material." Tephra ranges in size from
ash (less than 2 mm) to a lapilli (2-64
mm) to blocks and bombs (greater
than 64 mm). Densities vary greatly,
from that of pumice (less than 0.5 mm) to solid pieces of lava and
boulders of hot volcanic rocks. They also travel in high speeds and carries
great momentum as it falls. Many of the hazards of tephra falls can be
mitigated with proper planning and preparation.
VOLCANIC GAS - Magma is molten rock containing dissolved gases that
are released to the atmosphere during an eruption and while the
magma lies close to the surface from
hydrothermal systems. The most
abundant volcanic gas is water
vapor; other important gases are
NegOr_Q1_Earth and LifeSci11_SLKWeek8_v2
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, hydrogen sulfide,
chlorine, and fluorine. The gases are transported away from vents as
acid aerosols, as compounds adsorbed on tephra and as microscopic
salt particles. Sulfur compounds, chlorine and fluorine react with water to
form poisonous acids.
TSUNAMIS - A tsunami is a long-period sea wave or wave train generated
by a sudden displacement of water. Tsunamis travel at very high speeds
through deep water as low broad waves and build to great heights as
they approach the shallow bottom of shores. Most are caused by fault
displacements on the sea floor, but many have been caused by
volcanic action. The eruption of Krakatau in 1883 produced tsunamis
that killed 36,000 people. The pyroclastic flow generated by this eruption
displaced the water that initiated the tsunamis.
HAZARDS OF LANDSLIDES -
https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/291397038360033608/
HAZARDS OF LANDSLIDES
What is a Landslide?
The term "landslide" describes a wide variety of processes that result in
the downward and outward movement of slope-forming materials including
rock, soil, artificial fill, or a combination of these. The materials may move by
falling, toppling, sliding, spreading, or flowing. Although there are multiple
types of causes of landslides, the three that cause most of the damaging
landslides around the world are (1) water; (2) seismic activity; and (3) volcanic
activity. The accompanying image is a graphic illustration of a landslide, with
the commonly
accepted
terminology
describing its
features.
NegOr_Q1_Earth and LifeSci11_SLKWeek8_v2
https://www.idahogeology.org/landslide-hazards
ROCKFALL - A rockfall is a sudden fall or
collapse of a large mass of material
from a precipitous position. Rockfalls
occur along cliffs or very steep slopes
where masses of rock can detach and
begin a free-fall, often combined with a
bouncing or rolling descent. No slip-
plane or surface of flow is involved.
Rockfalls are rapid, and because of
their speed and sudden occurrence,
they are very dangerous.
TOPPLE - Toppling failures are
distinguished by the forward rotation of
a unit or units about some pivotal point,
below or low in the unit, under the
actions of gravity and forces exerted by
adjacent units or by fluids in cracks.
DEBRIS FLOW - A debris flow is a form of rapid mass
movement in which a combination of loose soil, rock,
organic matter, air, and water mobilize as a slurry
that flows downslope. Debris flows include less than
50% fines. Debris flows are commonly caused by
intense surface-water flow, due to heavy
precipitation, that erodes and mobilizes loose soil or
rock on steep slopes. Debris flows also commonly
mobilize from other types of landslides that occur on
steep slopes, are nearly saturated, and consist of a
large proportion of silt- and sand-sized material. A
NegOr_Q1_Earth and LifeSci11_SLKWeek8_v2
variety of very rapid to extremely rapid debris flow is known as DEBRIS
AVALANCHE.
The hazards discussed above are natural consequences which are
greatly influenced by what is known as geological processes. Geological
processes are events that occur on a geological timescale ranging between
millions of centuries, hundreds of meters, and thousands of kilometers vital in
sustaining all life forms on Earth. Without these natural forces, our planet would
not have been any different from the rest of the celestial bodies in the known
universe.
Knowing that these hazards pose massive damage, it is important that
we take proactive steps to ensure our safety and that of others in our
community. There are certainly preventive measures we can undertake as well
as counter measures during and after these natural calamities.
EFFECTS OF LANDSLIDE
1. Anything on top of or in the path of a landslide will suffer damage.
2. Rubble may block roads, lines of communication or waterways.
3. Indirect effect may include loss of productivity of agricultural or forest lands.
4. Reduced property values, destruction of infrastructures.
5. Flooding
6. Casualties- fatalities may occur due to slope failure.
• Hydrometeorological hazard – is a condition or an event that may cause harm to
property and life as a result of a hydrometeorological process such as tropical
cyclone, monsoon, flood, and ipo-ipo.
• Tropical cyclone or bagyo - a rapidly rotating low-pressure system that forms over
tropical oceans.

Guidelines With Regards To Class Suspension Adopted
By Department Of Education
• PSWS 1 – all classes in kindergarten are suspended
• PSWS 2 – all classes in elementary and high school are suspended
• PSWS 3 – all classes in all levels, including college and graduate schools are
suspended.
• Tropical Cyclone Hazards
- Tropical cyclones or typhoons bring about hazards that may cause adverse
effects on organisms and their environment.
TROPICAL CYCLONE HAZARDS:
1. A flood is an overflow of water over a normally dry land. Due to heavy rainfall
brought by a typhoon, the water levels in dams and rivers increase. The water
then overflows to nearby land areas. A flood can damage houses, buildings, and
bridges. Flash flood, which is a sudden, rapid flooding, may cause drowning and
fatal injuries.
Source: https://int.search.myway.com/
NegOr_Q1_Earth and LifeSci11_SLKWeek8_v2
4. A storm surge is an abnormal rise of sea water due to a typhoon. It is
created when water is being pushed toward the shore by the force of the
winds moving in a circular manner. It ravages beaches and coastal areas.
Source: https://int.search.myway.com/
5. A monsoon is a seasonal prevailing wind in the South and Southeast Asia. It
brings a different kind of weather depending on where it comes from. When it
blows from the southwest between May and September, it brings rainy
weather. When it blows from the northeast between October and April, it
brings dry weather. In the Philippines, the southwest monsoon brings about
heavy rainfall.

c. An ipo-ipo (tornado) is a violently spinning wind on land that appears like
a funnel-shaped cloud. It can destroy large buildings, uproot trees, and hurl
vehicles.
Source: https://int.search.myway.com/
Ipo-Ipo Hazard
The strong whirling wind can lift and hurl objects it encounters no matter how
heavy the object is. It causes destruction of houses, buildings, dams, and
bridges. The lifted objects may also cause injuries and death upon impact
PRACTICAL WAYS YOU CAN DO BEFORE A TROPICAL CYCLONE OR
MONSOON:
Before the Tropical Cyclone or Monsoon
• Prepare an emergency supply kit. It must include non-perishable food, water, first aid
kit, clothes, a battery-operated radio, flashlights and extra batteries, and a whistle.
• Make sure you have an adequate supply of non-perishable food and clean water
at home.
• If you live in a place that is in the path of the cyclone or monsoon, close all doors
and windows.
• Check your drainage system at home. An efficient drainage system will lessen the
chance of flooding and leaks.
• Check to see if there is a need to fix roofs, ceilings, doors, and windows.
• Frequently listen to the weather reports.
• Charge up emergency lights, electronic communication devices such as
cellphones, and power banks. There is a high probability of power
• outage due to strong winds and heavy rainfall.
NegOr_Q1_Earth and LifeSci11_SLKWeek8_v2
PRACTICAL WAYS YOU CAN DO DURING, AND AFTER A
TROPICAL CYCLONE OR MONSOON:
During the Tropical Cyclone or Monsoon
• Closely monitor weather reports for updated information on the tropical
cyclone (storm signal numbers or storm surge advisory) or monsoon.
• If you are in an area being directly hit by the hazard, stay indoors as
much as possible.
• Evacuate when necessary and bring your emergency supply kit.
• In case of a threat of a storm surge, evacuate to a place higher than
500 meters from the coast.
After the Tropical Cyclone or Monsoon
• If your house was heavily damaged, ask for the advice of authorities
regarding its safety and stability. Do not go inside the house if you are
uncertain of its condition.
• Check gas, water, and electrical lines for any damage.
• Beware of animals such as snakes that may have entered your house.
• Wear protective gears when cleaning up debris.
• Some roads may be closed due to flood. If you come upon a
barricade or a flooded road, turn around and use another route.
PRACTICAL WAYS YOU CAN DO BEFORE FLOODS:
Flood
Flooding is the overflowing of water on normally dry land. It has been
one of the most costly disasters in terms of damage to property and loss of
life. The most common cause of death associated with flood is drowning.
Here are the practical ways you can do before, during, and after a flood:
Before the Flood
• Create a family disaster plan. Designate a contact person who can be
reached and discuss where you will meet if family members are
separated.
• Closely monitor weather reports for information on the possibility of
flooding.
• Identify a safe place for evacuation and alternative routes that are not
prone to flooding.
• If a flash flood warning is issued in your area, evacuate to a safe place
immediately.
NegOr_Q1_Earth and LifeSci11_SLKWeek8_v2
• If flood alert is issued in your area, move valuables and furniture to higher
levels and disconnect electrical appliance.
• Prepare and emergency kit and supplies like food and water.
PRACTICAL WAYS YOU CAN DO DURING, AND AFTER FLOODS:
During the Flood
• If you see any signs of flood, turn off the main source of electricity and go
to a higher place such as the second floor or attic.
• Do not wade along flooded areas to keep yourself from having water-
borne diseases.
• In case you need to pass through the flood, wear protective gears such as
boots and raincoats.
• Follow any evacuation orders.
• Watch out for live wires or any electrical outlet submerged in water.
• If you are inside a vehicle and water rises around it, leave it immediately.
Climb to higher ground as quickly as possible.
• If you see someone falls or is trapped in flood water, do not go after the
victim. Throw the victim a floatation device such as tire, large ball, or ice
chest. Then ask help from a trained rescuer.
After the Flood
• Have an electrician inspect your house wirings and electrical outlets before
using them.
• Clean up your house. Dispose of things that may be used by mosquitoes to
breed like water vase and anything that can hold stagnant water.
• Boil water before drinking because it may have been contaminated.
• Do not go or return to flooded areas until the authorities say that it is safe to
do so.

SYNOPSIS
This module introduces the concept of hazard in order to contextually
discuss the different natural hazards of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and
landslides, all of which being part of the planet’s geological make-up.
It is indeed fascinating to grasp that, while these geological processes
can be extremelydangerous to us and to all the progress we have through
centuries, the same are the forces that sustain the existence and well-being of
our planet.
We sure have the responsibility to give back to Nature every little thing we
can to help restore its vibrance because there is nothing like our Earth in all of
cosmos.

II. WHAT I NEED TO KNOW
  • 6. NegOr_Q1_Earth and LifeSci11_SLKWeek8_v2 In the context of disaster risk reduction, the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR), defines hazard as “a dangerous event that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, as well as damage or loss of property, infrastructure, livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption and, or environmental damage.” Having defined the term ‘hazard’, carefully observe around your immediate vicinity. Can you identify some hazards around? That’s right! There can be several hazards surrounding us anytime and anywhere we go. In this module, we will particularly look at natural hazards caused by geological processes namely, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and landslides. EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS GROUND SHAKING – it is the first main earthquake hazard characterized by mild to intense movement (shaking) of the earth’s crust (ground). The shaking can damage buildings and other structures https://filipiknow.net/earthquake-in-the-philippines/ LIQUEFACTION – it is when the sand or soil and rising groundwater mixing together due to intense earthquakes. During liquefaction, the ground becomes very soft like a quicksand, so that structures or buildings above the ground may begin to tip over, lean sideways, or even sink significantly. https://designfloor.org/soil-liquefaction/ GROUND DISPLACEMENT – the second main earthquake hazard; also referred to as surface rupture
  • 7. NegOr_Q1_Earth and LifeSci11_SLKWeek8_v2 which is characterized by ground movement along a fault. https://www.sciencetimes.com/articles/20683/20190423/the-big- one-philippines-project-a-death-toll-of-34-000-from-possible- quake.htm FLOODING – the third main earthquake hazard is flooding as an earthquake can rupture or break dams or leeves along a river. The water from the river or reservoir would then flood the area, damaging buildings, vegetations, nearby villages and sweeping away or drowning people. https://edition.cnn.com/2016/11/14/asia/new-zealand- earthquake/index.html Tsunamis and Seiches can also cause a great deal of damage. A tsunami is what most people call a tidal wave, but it has nothing to do with the tides on the ocean. It is a huge wave caused by an earthquake under the ocean. Tsunamis can be tens of feet high when they hit the shore and can do enormous damage to the coastline. Seiches are like small tsunamis. They occur on lakes that are shaken by the earthquake and are usually only a few feet high, but they can still flood or knock down houses, and tip over trees. FIRE - The fourth main earthquake hazard is fire. These fires can be started by broken gas lines and power lines, or tipped over wood or coal stoves. They can be a serious problem, especially if the water lines that feed the fire hydrants are broken, too. For example, after the Great San Francisco Earthquake in 1906, the city burned for https://www.india.com/news/world /tsunami-alert-issued-after-7-9- magnitude-earthquake-hits-papua- new-guinea-1774222/
  • 8. NegOr_Q1_Earth and LifeSci11_SLKWeek8_v2 three days. Most of the city was destroyed and 250,000 people were left homeless. Most of the hazards to people come from man-made structures themselves and the shaking they receive from the earthquake. The real dangers to people are being crushed in a collapsing building, drowning in a flood caused by a broken dam or levee, getting buried under a landslide, or being burned in a fire. HAZARDS DUE TO VOLCANIC ERUPTION PYROCLASTIC DENSITY CURRENTS - Pyroclastic density currents are are gravity-driven, rapidly moving, ground-hugging mixtures of rock fragments and hot gases. This mixture forms a dense fluid that moves along the ground with an upper part that is less dense as particles fall toward the ground. The behavior of the fluid depends upon the solids concentration relative to the amount of hot gases (i.e., solids-gas ratio). High concentration density flows are called "pyroclastic flows" and are essentially nonturbulent and confined to valleys. Low concentration density flows are called "pyroclastic surges" which can expand over hill and valley like hurricanes. LAHARS – Lahars, also known as “mudflows” are part of the family of debris flows that are fluids composed of mixtures of water and particles of all sizes from clay-size to gigantic boulders. The abundance of solid matter carries the water, unlike watery floods where water carries the fragments. Lahars are composed of volcanic particles and originate directly or indirectly from volcanic action. Lahars can form by hot pyroclastic surges or flows entering
  • 9. NegOr_Q1_Earth and LifeSci11_SLKWeek8_v2 watershed systems or flowing over snow and ice, by eruptions through crater lakes, by heavy rains on loose volcanic debris. LAVA FLOWS - Lava flows rarely threaten human life because lava usually moves slowly, a few centimeters per hour for silicic flows to several km/hour for basaltic flows. Major hazards of lava flows include burying, crushing, covering, burning everything in their path. Sometimes lava melts ice and snow to cause floods and lahars. Lava flows can destroy dam rivers to form lakes that might overflow and break their dams causing floods. TEPHRA FALLS AND BALLISTIC PROJECTILES - Tephra consists of pyroclastic fragments of any size and origin. It is a synonym for "pyroclastic material." Tephra ranges in size from ash (less than 2 mm) to a lapilli (2-64 mm) to blocks and bombs (greater than 64 mm). Densities vary greatly, from that of pumice (less than 0.5 mm) to solid pieces of lava and boulders of hot volcanic rocks. They also travel in high speeds and carries great momentum as it falls. Many of the hazards of tephra falls can be mitigated with proper planning and preparation. VOLCANIC GAS - Magma is molten rock containing dissolved gases that are released to the atmosphere during an eruption and while the magma lies close to the surface from hydrothermal systems. The most abundant volcanic gas is water vapor; other important gases are
  • 10. NegOr_Q1_Earth and LifeSci11_SLKWeek8_v2 carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, hydrogen sulfide, chlorine, and fluorine. The gases are transported away from vents as acid aerosols, as compounds adsorbed on tephra and as microscopic salt particles. Sulfur compounds, chlorine and fluorine react with water to form poisonous acids. TSUNAMIS - A tsunami is a long-period sea wave or wave train generated by a sudden displacement of water. Tsunamis travel at very high speeds through deep water as low broad waves and build to great heights as they approach the shallow bottom of shores. Most are caused by fault displacements on the sea floor, but many have been caused by volcanic action. The eruption of Krakatau in 1883 produced tsunamis that killed 36,000 people. The pyroclastic flow generated by this eruption displaced the water that initiated the tsunamis. HAZARDS OF LANDSLIDES - https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/291397038360033608/ HAZARDS OF LANDSLIDES What is a Landslide? The term "landslide" describes a wide variety of processes that result in the downward and outward movement of slope-forming materials including rock, soil, artificial fill, or a combination of these. The materials may move by falling, toppling, sliding, spreading, or flowing. Although there are multiple types of causes of landslides, the three that cause most of the damaging landslides around the world are (1) water; (2) seismic activity; and (3) volcanic activity. The accompanying image is a graphic illustration of a landslide, with the commonly accepted terminology describing its features.
  • 11. NegOr_Q1_Earth and LifeSci11_SLKWeek8_v2 https://www.idahogeology.org/landslide-hazards ROCKFALL - A rockfall is a sudden fall or collapse of a large mass of material from a precipitous position. Rockfalls occur along cliffs or very steep slopes where masses of rock can detach and begin a free-fall, often combined with a bouncing or rolling descent. No slip- plane or surface of flow is involved. Rockfalls are rapid, and because of their speed and sudden occurrence, they are very dangerous. TOPPLE - Toppling failures are distinguished by the forward rotation of a unit or units about some pivotal point, below or low in the unit, under the actions of gravity and forces exerted by adjacent units or by fluids in cracks. DEBRIS FLOW - A debris flow is a form of rapid mass movement in which a combination of loose soil, rock, organic matter, air, and water mobilize as a slurry that flows downslope. Debris flows include less than 50% fines. Debris flows are commonly caused by intense surface-water flow, due to heavy precipitation, that erodes and mobilizes loose soil or rock on steep slopes. Debris flows also commonly mobilize from other types of landslides that occur on steep slopes, are nearly saturated, and consist of a large proportion of silt- and sand-sized material. A
  • 12. NegOr_Q1_Earth and LifeSci11_SLKWeek8_v2 variety of very rapid to extremely rapid debris flow is known as DEBRIS AVALANCHE. The hazards discussed above are natural consequences which are greatly influenced by what is known as geological processes. Geological processes are events that occur on a geological timescale ranging between millions of centuries, hundreds of meters, and thousands of kilometers vital in sustaining all life forms on Earth. Without these natural forces, our planet would not have been any different from the rest of the celestial bodies in the known universe. Knowing that these hazards pose massive damage, it is important that we take proactive steps to ensure our safety and that of others in our community. There are certainly preventive measures we can undertake as well as counter measures during and after these natural calamities. EFFECTS OF LANDSLIDE 1. Anything on top of or in the path of a landslide will suffer damage. 2. Rubble may block roads, lines of communication or waterways. 3. Indirect effect may include loss of productivity of agricultural or forest lands. 4. Reduced property values, destruction of infrastructures. 5. Flooding 6. Casualties- fatalities may occur due to slope failure. • Hydrometeorological hazard – is a condition or an event that may cause harm to property and life as a result of a hydrometeorological process such as tropical cyclone, monsoon, flood, and ipo-ipo. • Tropical cyclone or bagyo - a rapidly rotating low-pressure system that forms over tropical oceans.

TROPICAL CYCLONE HAZARDS: 1. A flood is an overflow of water over a normally dry land. Due to heavy rainfall brought by a typhoon, the water levels in dams and rivers increase. The water then overflows to nearby land areas. A flood can damage houses, buildings, and bridges. Flash flood, which is a sudden, rapid flooding, may cause drowning and fatal injuries.

It is created when water is being pushed toward the shore by the force of the winds moving in a circular manner. It ravages beaches and coastal areas. Source: https://int.search.myway.com/ 5. A monsoon is a seasonal prevailing wind in the South and Southeast Asia. It brings a different kind of weather depending on where it comes from. When it blows from the southwest between May and September, it brings rainy weather. When it blows from the northeast between October and April, it brings dry weather. In the Philippines, the southwest monsoon brings about heavy rainfall.

It can destroy large buildings, uproot trees, and hurl vehicles. Source: https://int.search.myway.com/ Ipo-Ipo Hazard The strong whirling wind can lift and hurl objects it encounters no matter how heavy the object is. It causes destruction of houses, buildings, dams, and bridges. The lifted objects may also cause injuries and death upon impact PRACTICAL WAYS YOU CAN DO BEFORE A TROPICAL CYCLONE OR MONSOON: Before the Tropical Cyclone or Monsoon • Prepare an emergency supply kit. It must include non-perishable food, water, first aid kit, clothes, a battery-operated radio, flashlights and extra batteries, and a whistle. • Make sure you have an adequate supply of non-perishable food and clean water at home. • If you live in a place that is in the path of the cyclone or monsoon, close all doors and windows. • Check your drainage system at home. An efficient drainage system will lessen the chance of flooding and leaks. • Check to see if there is a need to fix roofs, ceilings, doors, and windows. • Frequently listen to the weather reports. • Charge up emergency lights, electronic communication devices such as cellphones, and power banks. There is a high probability of power • outage due to strong winds and heavy rainfall.
  • 17. NegOr_Q1_Earth and LifeSci11_SLKWeek8_v2 PRACTICAL WAYS YOU CAN DO DURING, AND AFTER A TROPICAL CYCLONE OR MONSOON: During the Tropical Cyclone or Monsoon • Closely monitor weather reports for updated information on the tropical cyclone (storm signal numbers or storm surge advisory) or monsoon. • If you are in an area being directly hit by the hazard, stay indoors as much as possible. • Evacuate when necessary and bring your emergency supply kit. • In case of a threat of a storm surge, evacuate to a place higher than 500 meters from the coast. After the Tropical Cyclone or Monsoon • If your house was heavily damaged, ask for the advice of authorities regarding its safety and stability. Do not go inside the house if you are uncertain of its condition. • Check gas, water, and electrical lines for any damage. • Beware of animals such as snakes that may have entered your house. • Wear protective gears when cleaning up debris. • Some roads may be closed due to flood. If you come upon a barricade or a flooded road, turn around and use another route. PRACTICAL WAYS YOU CAN DO BEFORE FLOODS: Flood Flooding is the overflowing of water on normally dry land. It has been one of the most costly disasters in terms of damage to property and loss of life. The most common cause of death associated with flood is drowning. Here are the practical ways you can do before, during, and after a flood: Before the Flood • Create a family disaster plan. Designate a contact person who can be reached and discuss where you will meet if family members are separated. • Closely monitor weather reports for information on the possibility of flooding. • Identify a safe place for evacuation and alternative routes that are not prone to flooding. • If a flash flood warning is issued in your area, evacuate to a safe place immediately.
  • 18. NegOr_Q1_Earth and LifeSci11_SLKWeek8_v2 • If flood alert is issued in your area, move valuables and furniture to higher levels and disconnect electrical appliance. • Prepare and emergency kit and supplies like food and water. PRACTICAL WAYS YOU CAN DO DURING, AND AFTER FLOODS: During the Flood • If you see any signs of flood, turn off the main source of electricity and go to a higher place such as the second floor or attic. • Do not wade along flooded areas to keep yourself from having water- borne diseases. • In case you need to pass through the flood, wear protective gears such as boots and raincoats. • Follow any evacuation orders. • Watch out for live wires or any electrical outlet submerged in water. • If you are inside a vehicle and water rises around it, leave it immediately. Climb to higher ground as quickly as possible. • If you see someone falls or is trapped in flood water, do not go after the victim. Throw the victim a floatation device such as tire, large ball, or ice chest. Then ask help from a trained rescuer. After the Flood • Have an electrician inspect your house wirings and electrical outlets before using them. • Clean up your house. Dispose of things that may be used by mosquitoes to breed like water vase and anything that can hold stagnant water. • Boil water before drinking because it may have been contaminated. • Do not go or return to flooded areas until the authorities say that it is safe to do so.

NegOr_Q1_Earth and LifeSci11_SLKWeek8_v2 SYNOPSIS This module introduces the concept of hazard in order to contextually discuss the different natural hazards of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and landslides, all of which being part of the planet’s geological make-up. It is indeed fascinating to grasp that, while these geological processes can be extremelydangerous to us and to all the progress we have through centuries, the same are the forces that sustain the existence and well-being of our planet. We sure have the responsibility to give back to Nature every little thing we can to help restore its vibrance because there is nothing like our Earth in all of cosmos.
