This document outlines the contingency plan for typhoons and flooding in the Tangalan district of Aklan province in the Philippines. It provides background on the hazards faced and disasters experienced in the area. Gaps in preparedness are identified, such as limited hazard mapping and lack of access to early warning systems. Contingency measures currently in place are described, including hazard maps, drills, emergency supplies, and coordination with partners like local government and NGOs. Implementing partners that provide support are listed. Preparedness actions are detailed for different stages of a typhoon, such as meetings, advisories, and assessments. Measures to address gaps are proposed, such as trainings, reiterating hazard activities, and developing memor

II. OBJECTIVES
This Typhoon and Flooding Contingency Plan for the District of Tangalan aims to:
1. To take precautionary measures to anticipate, prevent or minimize the adverse
effects of typhoon, floods, storm surge and landslides to children’s immediate
access to education during an emergency/disaster and lead learners’ in attaining
the complete and full cycle of education.
2. To secure learners’ accessto resources that are critical in supporting the process
of education, support children’s attendance in school and facilitate return to
normalcy especially during emergencies. These include physical infrastructure
and facilities, teaching and learning materials and other similar resources.
3. To enhance coordination mechanism with LGU and other stakeholders.
III. HAZARDS
The municipality of Tangalan is not only rich in natural resources. It also has a
deeply rooted culture and proud history. However, Tangalan also had its own share of
major disaster experienced in the region and in the country in recent times.Because of
its geographical location and topography, it is vulnerable to the effects of natural
hazards including typhoon, flashfloods, landslides, storm surges, earthquake and
tsunami.
The Municipality of Tangalan has also experienced one of the strongest cyclones
in the world and in average, Tangalanons experience 5-10 cyclones in a year. Loss of
family members, damages to properties and loss of financial income are faced by locals
every time a strong cyclone enters the area of responsibility.
In the event of the occurrence of strong tropical storms and presence of prolong
rainfall particularly on the months of June to December, it is expected that floods,
flashfloods, landslides and storm surges are expected to affect the access to education
of learnersduring the impacts of hazards in terms of school facilities, learning materials
and length of school days in a year.
The challenged now is the delivery of quality education to affected areasand the
provision of better learning atmosphere for the pupils and students. The priority of the
Department is ensuring resumption of classes as soon as possible and the provision of
spaces and tents, of learnersand teacherskits, alternative delivery mode modules and
other instructional needs.
IV. DISASTERS, IMPACTS AND VULNERABLE DIVISIONS
The Municiplaity of Tangalan has experienced the worst disasters in recent
Philippine history.This include Typhoon Frank in 2008, Tropical Storm Quinta in 2012,
Super Typhoon Yolanda in 2013. and the most recent is Typhoon Ursula and Typhoon

The Municipality’svulnerability to natural hazards was brought to the fore during
this time. Strong winds and torrential rains caused massive flooding, landslides,
mudslides and storm surges resulting in damagesto school buildings partially or totally
as well as to instructional materials, facilities and equipment.

IX. PREPAREDNESS MEASURES
Typhoon and continuous heavy rains will cause flooding, landslides and storm surge at
affected areas based on the PAGASA’s Rainfall Forecast, Forecast of Tropical Cyclone
and Climate Outlook for 2017.
Localized flooding will occur triggered by either a tropical storm(windsbetween60 -170
kph) and/or heavy monsoon rains over a longer period of time (3-7 days); landslidesare
expected.
Immediate effect of this are disruption of classes due to the displaced family using our
school evacuation center, damaged school buildings, facilities, teaching and learning
materials and disruption of major lifelines.
