Floods, which can be either slow onset or rapid onset events (i.e., flash floods), occur when a locale cannot process the amount of water that it is receiving in a normal manner. Communities throughout the world know why it is urgent for their stakeholders to continue working on becoming FLOOD and especially FLOOD-INDUCED LANDSLIDE DISASTER RESILIENT. Each community knows that it is only a matter of time until the inevitable flood event occurs that can expose its physical and social vulnerabilities. THE REASONS FOR A FLOOD DISASTER TO OCCUR: The community is UN-PREPARED for the flood hazards (INUNDATION, LANDSLIDES, etc.,) that are likely to happen. The community has NO DISASTER PLANNING SCENARIO or LAND USE PLANS or ORDINANCES in place as a strategic framework for identification and coordinated local, national, regional, and international countermeasures. The community has NO EARLY WARNING SYSTEM or COMMINITY EVACUATION PLANS in place as a strategic framework for identi-fication and coordinated local, national, regional, and international countermeasures. The community LACKS THE CAPACITY TO RESPOND to the full spectrum of expected and unexpected emergency situations in a timely and cost-effective manner. The community is INEFFECIVE during recovery and reconstruction because it HAS NOT LEARNED IMPORTANT LESSONS from either the current experience or the cumulative prior experiences.

LapuLapu was the first Filipino hero, defeating the Spaniards led by Magellan in battle in the 16th century. The Philippines has over 7,100 islands, many formed by volcanoes, with 37 active volcanoes including Pinatubo, Mayon, and Taal. Coral reefs have built up over millions of years in the warm waters around the islands, creating habitat for tropical fish. In 1991, a typhoon caused a flash flood in Ormoc City on Leyte island, killing over 8,000 people as water and mud streams destroyed the city.
This document provides an overview of environmental history and disasters in the Philippines. It discusses how the Philippines experiences on average 20 typhoons and 100-150 earthquakes annually due to its location in the Pacific Ring of Fire and Typhoon Belt. It outlines several major disasters from history including volcanic eruptions of Taal and Mayon volcanoes, earthquakes like the 1976 Moro Gulf quake, and destructive typhoons like Yolanda in 2013. While natural hazards are to be expected, the document argues that disasters occur due to a lack of preparedness and failure to mitigate risks, showing how historical experiences could inform better disaster management policies going forward.
Typhoon Hagupit, known locally as Typhoon Ruby, first landed at Eastern Samar on Saturday and moved slowly across the country, bringing strong winds (200 kph (125 mph) winds and unloading at least 40 cm (16 in) of rain over coastal areas.At least 21 people in the Philippines were killed before Typhoon Hagupit weakened into a tropical storm Monday. The storm forced more than one million people out of their homes and into shelters. Almost exactly one year ago, the Philippine archipelago was devastated by Super Typhoon Haiyan, rated as probably the strongest typhoon ever to strike the Philippines. Lessons from past typhoons clearly demonstrate that people who have timely early warning in conjunction with a community evacuation plan that facilitates getting out of harm’s way from the risks associated with storm surge, high winds, flooding, and landslides will survive. Damaged hospitals and medical facilities combined with lack of clean drinking water, food, and medicine, and high levels of morbidity and mortality will quickly overrun the local community’s capacity for emergency health care.

3 Philosophy, concepts, principles and values.pptxjo bitonio
Cooperatives are formed based on the core values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity. They operate according to seven agreed-upon principles: voluntary and open membership; democratic member control; members' economic participation; autonomy and independence; education, training and information; cooperation among cooperatives; and concern for community. Cooperatives work to meet members' mutual social, economic and cultural needs in a participatory manner where members share the risks and benefits equally.
2 Overview History, laws and trends.pptxjo bitonio

The document discusses the concept of VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) and how it describes the current business environment of constant unpredictable change. It then focuses on how agricultural cooperatives are facing challenges due to globalization and increased competition. Specifically, cooperatives struggle with limited access to finance, weak governance, and outdated information systems. The document advocates for computerizing cooperatives to improve information processing and decision making. It also discusses the important role of cooperatives in supporting small farmers and the work of FAO to help establish enabling environments for cooperatives.
The document discusses several topics related to human resources including:
1. The size of HR departments can vary significantly depending on the size of the organization, ranging from just a few employees to divisions of hundreds of staff.
2. Future roles of HR practitioners include diagnostic, assessment, and development roles requiring skills like organizational diagnosis, research, and evaluation.
3. Common pitfalls in developing HR strategies include inside-out thinking, solutions without involvement, complexity without simplicity, and lack of focus. Adapting best practices requires considering internal context.
This document discusses various aspects of human resource management systems including training and development, job design, recruitment and selection, performance management, and career development. It emphasizes the importance of integrating employee skills with job requirements through proper job analysis and design.

the brunt with villages as far as one kilometer from
the shore flooded. Most of the deaths appear to
have been caused by surging sea water strewn with
debris that many said resembled a tsunami.

food,” said Jenny Chu, a medical student in Leyte
province. “It’s like a movie.” The scale of the
typhoon’s apocalyptic destruction is now starting to
emerge. Strong, sustained winds exceeded 315
kilometers per hour, leveling entire towns.
