Plan of Action:
1. The disasters most likely to affect our household are:
Flood, Typhoon & Earthquake.

2. What are the escape routes from our home?

The main door/exit of our house.

3. If separated during an emergency, what is our meeting place?

If I’m in Araullo High School, I’ll stay and my mother would pick me up. If not, then all of us will
go to “The Riviera Golf Club, Inc.” on Lyceum of the Philippines University.

prepare for each (Earthquake, Flood, Typhoon, Fire etc.)

 Identify local organizations that perform emergency management (Philippine Red Cross, Bureau
of Fire Protection, PAGASA etc.) and know how to contact them.

places you and your family spend time.
