Midterm Project: Hazard Infographic for

the Community
One sure way to build capacity for disaster risk reduction is education.
Community members should be informed about the potential hazards that
could lead to economic damages, mortality, and other adverse effects. When
people know what threats are present, they could be more prepared for them.
In this project, you will make an infographic for your community. The
guidelines are as follows.
General Guidelines
1. You will be working in groups of three. The grouping assignment is
based on the city or municipality where you live.
2. The task is to create an infographic about ONE hazard in your
community.
3. The content of the infographic should include, but is not limited to:
a. Basic information about that hazard (historical data, scientific
concepts, etc.).
b. How to prepare for the impacts of that hazard
c. How to prevent the hazard from taking place (not applicable for
natural hazards)
d. How to respond during the occurrence of the hazard
e. Contact details of the local authorities and related agencies
f. Names of the group members. Note: do not put any logo that
ties this infographic to O.B. Montessori Center
g. References
4. The infographic will be submitted by one group member as a PDF file
through Google Classroom with the file name following this format:
Larson_Johansson_Olsen_Floods Infographic.pdf
Technical and Creative Details
1. The size of the infographic should be A3 or 297mm x420mm. It can
either be in portrait or landscape orientation.
2. Use FILIPINO in writing the content of your infographic. There can be
some English words, especially the scientific terms that do not have
equivalents in Filipino, but keep them to a minimum.
3. Use a conversational tone and make sure that the level of language you
use is accessible to everyone.
4. You have complete creative freedom on how you want to lay out your
infographic, but make sure that the visuals do not override the content.
5. Cite the references using the ACS citation format. Use superscripts for
the in-text citation.
