LEARNING OBJECTIVES
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of this lesson, the student should be able to:
 Define Philippine Area of Responsibility
 Trace the path of typhoons using a map and tracking data
 Reflect on the importance of tracking the path of typhoon
Activity
TRACKING A TROPICAL
CYCLONE!
Objective: Trace the path of typhoons
using a map and tracking data
Materials:
Activity Sheet
Pentel pen
Ruler
Procedure::
1. Use the latitude and longitude (lat-long) in the table
below to track the location of tropical cyclone or typhoon
as it moves day to day.
2. Plot each lat-long pair on the map with the PAR.
3. Answer the guide questions.
Guide Questions
 Q1. Where did tropical cyclone from?
 When did tropical cyclone enter the PAR?
 When did tropical cyclone leave the PAR?
How can you define Philippine
Area if Responsibility?
The Philippine area of
responsibility is the smallest
and innermost monitoring
domain whose boundary is
closest to the Philippine
Islands.
What are the exact dimensions of this
domain?
The exact dimensions of this domain are the area
of the Western North Pacific bounded by
imaginary lines connecting the coordinates: 5°N
115°E, 15°N 115°E, 21°N 120°E, 25°N 120°E, 25°N
135°E and 5°N 135°E.
When is warning signals generated?
Warning signals are generated when a tropical storm
reaches the PAR and is on its way to land.
What is the meaning of each signals?
✓ PSWS #1 — if the tropical cyclone wind is between 30
km/h to 60 km/h maybe expected in at least 36 hours.
✓ PSWS #2 — if the tropical cyclone wind is between 61
km/h to 120 km/h maybe expected in at least 24 hours.
✓ PSWS #3 — if the tropical cyclone wind is between 121
km/h to 170 km/h maybe expected in at least 18 hours.
✓ PSWS #4 — if the tropical cyclone wind of more than 171
km/h to 220 maybe expected in at least 12 hours.
✓ PSWS #5 — if the tropical cyclone winds greater than 220
km/h are expected within 12 hours.
Safety measures before a typhoon
1. Stay informed: Keep an eye on various media sources for weather
information.
2. Maintain your drainage system by inspecting, cleaning, and never
clogging it: Examine your home for flaws and make any necessary repairs.
3. Keep ready-to-eat foods and clean water on hand: Make sure that ready-
to-eat foods and clean water are readily available and sufficient for you and
your family to last a few days.
4. Store goods in a high-up location: Place all crucial stuff and items that
require electricity on the second or third floors. To keep from being
electrocuted.
5. Keep your emergency supplies in a visible location: First-aid kits, candles,
flashlights, life vests, and a battery-operated radio may all be included.
Safety measures during a typhoon
1. Keep monitoring: If possible, listen to weather updates on television,
radio, or the internet. Just to keep you on your toes.
2. Turn it OFF: If a flood is expected to occur, it is best to turn off the
primary sources of electricity.
3. Do not wade along flooded areas: Avoid contracting infections that are
spread by water. Wear raincoats and boots to protect oneself if it is
unavoidable.
4. Evacuate if necessary: If you're told to evacuate, do it slowly and
carefully. Follow the authority's evacuation directives.
Safety measures after a typhoon
1. Continue monitoring: Keep up with the typhoon's development and wait
for information about the four area's safety.
2. Check and Repair: If your home has been severely damaged, make sure
you follow the authorities' recommendations for its safety and stability.
When it comes to house repairs, be extra cautious.
3. Never turn on appliances all at once: Make sure there are no damp or
submerged outlets before turning on the power.
4. Drink clean water: Because water might be contaminated, boil it before
consuming it.
5. Clean Up: Remove items such as tires, cans, and pots to avoid providing
a breeding habitat for mosquitoes.
Let’s Recap
What is Philippine Area of Responsibility?
What are the exact dimensions of this domain/area?
When is warning signals generated?
What are the four parts of typhoon?
The class will be divided into three (3) groups and
each will make a 5-minute video presentation on
what to do before, during and after a typhoon which
will be part of their performance task in this subject.
They will be guided by the rubrics below.
1. Why would the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and
Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) needs to
monitor the typhoon which is at 15 0 N 1220E?
A. Because it is within the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
B. Because it is away from the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
C. Because it will not reach the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
D. Because it is approaching the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
3. Why is there a need for PAGASA to regularly monitor
tropical cyclones near and within the PAR?
A. To provide flood warnings
B. To protect life and property
C. To identify the typhoon warnings
D. To give public weather forecast
4. What is expected in PSWS #1?
A. The tropical cyclone wind is between 30 km/h to 60 km/h
maybe expected in at least 36 hours.
B. The tropical cyclone wind is between 61 km/h to 120 km/h
maybe expected in at least 24 hours.
C. The tropical cyclone wind is between 121 km/h to 170 km/h
maybe expected in at least 18 hours.
D. The tropical cyclone winds greater
5. When did typhoon AMANG enters the PAR?
(Use the illustration below)
A. January 15, 2015
B. January 17, 2015
C. January 18, 2015
D. January 19, 2015
Assignment
In a short bond paper, draw and label at
least 5 things that you will prepare when
there is a typhoon. At the bottom of the
paper, write your reason why you chose
those things.
