I. BACKGROUND
Adiwang Elementary School stands by the hillside 8 kilometers from the city and can be reached through jeepney or taxi. There were
no incidence of crimes and other hazards for the last three years except for shrub fire and health threat like dengue. Typhoon is the most
frequent natural hazard experienced by its stakeholders.
It has 5 buildings which are being utilized as classrooms from Kindergarten to Grade VI-pupils which are just barely enough to
accommodate our enrollees, 10 classrooms of which aren’t under current standards. There are classrooms that need repairs especially the
ceilings and gutters. The school office and its adjacent classrooms and is not safe for the pupils due to part of the ground where the building
is standing is sinking.
It has twelve (12) teachers: one (1) master teacher I, five (5) teacher III and six (6) teacher I; one (1) Head Teacher and one (1)
administrative aide working together in carrying out DepEd’s mandate. There are two hundred seventy-eight (283) pupils who are presently
enrolled.

II. OBJECTIVES
This 2020 Contingency Plan covers ADIWANG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL in Schools Division of Baguio City, CAR. It focuses on
Typhoon, and Earthquake.
The objectives are as follows:
1. To be able to create a school contingency plan that focuses on typhoon and earthquake.
2. To be able to address vulnerabilities in disaster response and create strategic plan to address such vulnerabilities.
3. To be able to create a mechanism within the school that will address the prioritized disasters.
III. HAZARDS
The various hazards identified are as follows: 1. Typhoon, and 2. Earthquake
The premise of hazard identification is based on the following resources:
Hazard Hunter PH (https://hazardhunter.georisk.gov.ph/),
PHIVOLCS GISWEB Portal (https://gisweb.phivolcs.dost.gov.ph/portal/home/)
The hazard prioritization was further supported by submitted RaDaR reports and incident reports by the school to DepEd DRRMS
from the previous years.
Please see attached reports on the next page.

The damage incurred during the monsoon and typhoon season of 2017 which triggered a landslide that subsequently damaged the riprap supporting the main school ground
which posed high risk to the stakeholders during the resumption of classes. The hazard is further supported by the survey conducted by MGB and by Hazard Hunter PH.

IX. MAPPING OF IMPLEMENTING PARTNERS
The table represents a conglomerate of government and non-government organizations under the umbrella of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Council. Their mission and vision may tend to overlap but they still work hand in hand with the main goal of mitigating the effect of disasters encountered
in the Philippines. Most of our collaboration with them focuses on disaster preparedness and mitigation, from awareness campaigns to conducting of trainings and
seminars.

Nearest Active Pinatubo Active volcanoes are those that erupted within historical times (within the last 600 years).
Volcano (139.2 km) Accounts of these eruptions were documented by man within the last 10,000 years based on
the analyses of material from young volcanic deposits.
Lahar Safe Lahars (an Indonesian term), sometimes called volcanic mudflows or debris flows, are
slurries of volcanic sediment, debris and water that cascade down a volcano’s slopes
through rivers and channels. Lahars in tropical areas are mainly generated by torrential
rainfall on unconsolidated deposits from a past eruption.
Lahar Hazard assessments are long-term lahar hazard projections based on the volcano’s
morphology, eruption history, as well as its tendency for rapid morphologic changes during
periods of intense and/or prolonged rainfall, or after a major lahar event.

Rain-Induced High Susceptibility; Areas with high susceptibility to rain-induced landslides usually have steep to
Landslide Numerous very steep slopes that are underlain by weak materials, with the presence of
old/inactive numerous old/inactive landslides. These sites may be considered not suitable
landslides present for permanent habitation but may be developed for alternative uses subject to
the implementation of appropriate mitigation measures after performing site
specific geotechnical studies.
Note:
All hazard assessments are based on the available susceptibility maps and the coordinates of the user’s selected location.
The possibility of both rain-induced landslide and flooding occurring is not disregarded. Because of the composite nature of
MGB’s 1:10,000-scale Rain-induced Landslide and Flood Susceptibility Maps, it spatially prioritizes the more frequently occurring
and most damaging hazards in an area. Continuous updating is being done.
This report was generated through GeoRisk Philippines’ HazardHunterPH app. This report is not for sale.

Storm Surge Safe A storm surge (“daluyong ng bagyo”) is the abnormal rise in sea level that occurs
during tropical cyclones or “bagyo”. It happens when a very strong tropical cyclone
blows-off excessive amounts of seawater toward low-lying coastal communities.
For storm surge-prone communities, the most important considerations are 1) the
strength of the tropical cyclone, 2) the height of the surge, and 3) if the community is
located in a low-lying areas.
Severe Wind 117.1 - 220 kph (20- The Regional Severe Wind Hazard Map represents the 3-second peak gust wind

return period)
The Regional Severe Wind Hazard is expressed in terms of Return Periods (RPs) of
Tropical Cyclone winds. Return period means the repeat interval, or the estimate of
likelihood and severity of severe wind event. Return periods are then translated into
Annual Exceedance Probabilities (AEPs) which are the chance that a given severe
wind hazard level will be equalled or exceeded in any year.
At higher return periods, the wind speeds are stronger but are less frequent. At
lower return periods, the wind speeds are less intense but are more frequent.
The Regional severe wind hazard maps are used to update the wind zoning map of
the Philippines and as reference in designing building structures.
For those areas identified as high risk to wind damage, building codes/regulations
must be strictly implemented to mitigate severe wind risks. For already developed
areas, retrofitting is encouraged – the methods applied in this study can be used to
set out a cost-benefit study for retrofitting older, more vulnerable building types to
increase their resilience to severe winds.
