The document discusses the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010 and provides context on disaster risks in the Philippines. It notes that the Philippines is third highest in the world in exposure to natural hazards due to its geographical location. It then provides statistics on natural disasters from 2000-2011 showing increasing casualties over time. The rest of the document discusses specific recent disasters, earthquake facts, the disaster management system, and strategies for earthquake preparedness including building evacuation plans and conducting earthquake drills.

16. What are Earthquakes?
 An earthquake is the result of a sudden
release of energy in the Earth's crust that
creates seismic waves
 Earthquakes are recorded with a
seismometer, also known as a seismograph

17. INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT EARTHQUAKE
 The largest recorded earthquake in the
United states was a magnitude 9.2 that struck
Prince William Sound, Alaska on Good
Friday, March 28, 1964

18. INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT EARTHQUAKE
 The Largest Recoded Earthquake in the
world was a Magnitude 9.5 in Chile on May
22, 1960

19. INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT EARTHQUAKE
 World‟s deadliest recoded earthquake occurred
in1556 in Central China, killing an estimated
830,000 people in 1976 another deadly
earthquake struck Tangshan, China where more
than 250,00 people were killed.

20. TIDAL WAVE VS TSUNAMI
 Although both are sea waves the two has
two different and unrelated phenomena
• Tidal Wave – is a shallow water wave caused by the
gravitational interaction between the sun, moon, and
earth.
•Tsunami – is a sea wave caused by an underwater
earthquake or landslide (usually triggered by an
earthquake) displacing the ocean water

21. Epicenter of an earthquake is
the location directly above
the hypocenter on the
surface of the earth
Hypocenter of an earthquake
is the location beneath the
earth‟s surface where the
rupture of the fault begins
 It is estimated that there are 500,000 detectable earthquakes in the
world each year. 100,000 of those can be felt, 100 of them cause
damage.

22. MAGNITUDE & INTENSITY
Magnitude is a measured value of the
earthquake size. The Magnitude is the same no
matter where you are, or how strong or weak the
shaking was in various location
Intensity is a measure of the shaking created b
the earthquake, and this value does vary with
location

- Arson
-Overheating appliances
(aircon, fans, TV sets, computers, chargers, adaptors, fluorescent, oven-
toasters)
-Overloaded circuits, octopus plug-in outlets and extensions
(substandard materials)
-Throwing of lighted cigarette / butts
-Neglected rubbish, grass fire
-Leaking LPG
-Unattended candles or incents
-Unattended cooking
-Improperly and accumulated stored combustible materials

31. EVACUATION PLAN
 The Building Earthquake Evacuation Plan should
have provisions to utilize all available open spaces
nearest the building that are evaluated as safe from
falling debris and other materials that may cause
injuries.
Parking Area Park

32. EVACUATION PLAN
Flow of Traffic and Evacuation Route
Evacuation Site
Use arrows to indicate
the flow of evacuation
One way traffic: persons
shall walk in one direction

33. Prepare
First Aid Kits Earthquake Survival Kits

34. DURING EARTHQUAKE
B. The main concern during an ongoing shaking is how
to protect oneself.
 Give specific instructions on what to do DURING an
earthquake.
Duck, Cover and Hold
Take cover under a sturdy table or strongly supported
doorway.
Watch out for falling objects.
Keep calm and don‟t panic.

35. DURING EARTHQUAKE
B. The main concern during an ongoing shaking is how
to protect oneself.
 Give specific instructions about what to do AFTER as soon
as the shaking stops:
Be alert…
Listen to instructions.
Walk out of the building in an orderly manner.

36. AFTER EARTHQUAKE
B. The main concern during an ongoing shaking is how
to protect oneself.
 While walking along the alleys/streets, be alert and watch out
for falling debris.
DON’T Run
DON’T Push
DON’T Talk
DON’T Return
DON’T bring your things

37. Why do we need to Conduct an
Earthquake Drill ?

38. Why do we need to Conduct an
Earthquake Drill ?
Earthquake is a natural phenomenon and cannot be
prevented. It can strike quickly without warning.
Earthquake can damage lives and properties.
No available technology that give an
accurate earthquake prediction.
TO MITIGATE EARTHQUAKE DISASTER

39. PHASES OF AN
EARTHQUAKE DRILL

40. PHASE 1. ALARM
siren / bell rings for 1 minute
ongoing “ground shaking or earthquake”

41. PHASE 2. RESPONSE
during the “shaking”
perform “DUCK, COVER and HOLD”
Remain in that position
until “shaking” stops
Still BE ALERT, open your eyes

42. PHASE 3. EVACUATION
after the “shaking”
All building occupants
evacuate, following pre-determined
routes, to the EVACUATION AREAS
(OPEN SPACE)

43. Phase 4. ASSEMBLY
At the designated evacuation
area, the „evacuees‟ must be
grouped together.

44. Phase 5. HEAD COUNT
Team leaders should check and
make sure all „evacuees‟ are
accounted for.

45. Phase 6. EVALUATION
An evaluation of the drill must be conducted
to identify problems encountered during the drill
and how this can be corrected in future earthquake
drills.

46. EARTHQUAKE DRILL
To be effective earthquake
drills
must be done regularly.

47. Our Challenges
 Disasters remain a major challenge to achieve a disaster-
resilient & safer community in the Philippines by 2015
 Natural hazards abound:
typhoon, flood, landslide, earthquake, tsunami, volcanic
eruption, drought, etc.
 Climate change remains a potential risk to the country
 Poverty, a vulnerability condition, prevails
 Fast growing population, increasing population
densities, urbanization, environmental degradation and
pollution increase disaster risks

49. COMMUNITY
BASED
EMERGENCY
WARNING SYSTEM

50. COMMUNITY BASED EMERGENCY WARNING SYSTEM
FLOOD EARLY WARNING SYSTEM
“COLORS OF BEAUTY AND SAFETY”
RED PAINT (4 to 6 ft). – NO MOVEMENT
The area should be clear. Everyone must be
in safer grounds or in the evacuation centers.
GREEN PAINT (2 to 4 ft.) – EVACUATE
Families should evacuate their homes and
go to their assigned evacuation centers.
YELLOW PAINT (0 to 2 ft.) – GET READY
Families should secure all of their
possessions and prepare necessary items
for evacuation.

51. COMMUNITY BASED EMERGENCY WARNING SYSTEM
(EMERGENCY MOTOR SIRENS)
INSTALLED THROUGHOUT THE CITY
AIMS:
To remind the public of the importance of
punctuality
To protect minors from possible dangers
they may encounter at night
To warn the public of apprehending disaster
• 1 one-minute blast- families should secure
all of their possessions and prepare
necessary items for evacuation.
• 2 one-minute blasts- families should
evacuate their homes and go to their
assigned evacuation centers.
• 3 one-minute blasts- The area should be
cleared. Everyone should be safe in the
evacuation centers.

52. COMMUNITY BASED EMERGENCY WARNING SYSTEM
(EARLY WARNING SIGNAGES FOR
LANDSLIDE, FLOOD/FLASHFLOOD)

53. THE NATIONAL DRRM FRAMEWORK
Shifts the country’s paradigm and approach:
• From a reactive, humanitarian
response oriented management
DM of disasters
• To a proactive, vulnerability
reduction and development
DRR/DRM approach to disasters
