23. PHASES OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT
• Bag-o pa magkadisaster, naay pwedeng himuon aron
malikayan ang dagkong epekto sa unos.
1. Mitigation – pagpakgang o pagpakunhod sa epekto sa
unos.
2. Preparation – pagpangandam sa katalagman.
Unsay buhaton nato?
1. Pagsusi sa Peligro (Sa balay, sa silingan og sa

24. PHASES OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT
• Kung naa na ang kalamidad, mas naay kinahanglan
himuon para masiguro nga mahatagan og solusyon ang
epekto sa unos.
1. Disaster Response – pagtubag sa kalamidad o
katalagman.
Ex. Pagrescue, paghatag og relief packs
2. Disaster Recovery – pagtukod balik sa mga balay og
panginabuhi paghuman sa kalamidad.
25. What is Disaster Preparedness?
A set of measures undertaken by governments, organizations,
communities or individuals to better respond and cope with the
immidiate aftermath of a disaster, whether ir be human-made or
caused by natural hazards. (European Commission)
It is an essential phase in DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND
MANAGEMENT as this greatly helps in reducing loss of life and
property.

BEFORE:
o Discuss a plan with your family, coworkers, and community
o Profile your community if situated along fault line/s, near the shore (for
tsunami hazard), or near slopes (for landslides).
o Come up with a Family Communication Plan, Family Disaster Plan and
Community-disaster Plan.
o Prepare a family emergency kit or Go Bag per member
o Familiarize where the gas tanks, breakers, and water valves are and do a
drill on how to turn them off.
o Fasten or anchor tall or heavy furniture onto the walls. Secure those
which might drop during tremors by reanrranging the aesthetics of your
home. Put all heavy objects at the base of the shelves.
40. Before and during an Earthquake
BEFORE
o Identify where to do your initial ‘drop, cover, and hold’ around the
house, office, or school premises.
o Learn the earthquake evacuation plan and corridor in your house,
workplace, school, or community.
DURING:
o INDOORS:
o If with a table to go under, execute DROP, COVER, and HOLD with eyes
open and seek cover under the table, hold on to the legs of the table.

41. During an Earthquake
DURING
o Be sure you are not near glass windows, unfastened furniture, or any heavy
ornaments that will fall.
o If there is nothing to hide under to, do the “triangle position” and keep eyes
open with hands down to maintain balance during the tremor. Orient yourself
to the nearest, unblocked exit.
o You may also stay low (tripod position) ath the strong beam of the building.
o Stay at strong walls and stay there while there is shaking. In case, you are hit
and trapped by a huge fallen object, you will easily be seen by the rescuers
(All rescuers consider walls as lifelines)
o If in an elevator, hold onto the walls in a straddle position
o Do not drop, cover, and hold with face smacked on the ground.
42. During an Earthquake
Outdoors:
oDuring sudden jolts, stay low by doing tripod position. Open
your eyes and scan surroundings for posts, wires, debris from
tall buildings etc.
oIf outside the tall building, get away from the side to avoid
being hit by fallen glass materials and other debris. You may
manuever in wide strides towards center of the road.

some huge or dangerous structures will fall on your location,
stop the engine, hand break it at once and exit.
oAlways vacate the middle part of the road for emergency
services to pass through during response phase.
44.
45. After an Earthquake
o Check for injuries in your body and injuries of others if in a safe location
o Do not use matches to light up!
o Evacuate to assigned mustering points if ordered or if there are hazards
present like fire, breached structures etc.
o Evacuate safely with your Go Bag and other protective equipment like helmet
and lamps.
o During evacuation, do not stoop down or hold your head, you might lose your
balance. Check surroundings for hanging, unstable objects or debris on the
ground. More eyes, more margin of safety.
o Shut off the valves and breakers of water, gas, and electricity
o If working or in school, activate ICS, raise alarm if there is hazard. Assign first
man to lead the evacuation in a linear manner and the last man as the
sweeper.

planned evacuation route and plot alternate routes on your map in case
roads are impassable.
