Instruction: Read and answer the following.

VULNERABILITY OF THE URBAN AND ENVIRONMENT
A. Based on the characteristics of persons and their situation that influences the facing natural
hazards, describe two ways by which vulnerability is linked to environment.

 poor design and construction of buildings,

 inadequate protection of assets,
 lack of public information and awareness,
 limited official recognition of risks and preparedness measures, and.
 disregard for wise environmental managemen

B. Read the Case Study- relocating a School out of Flood Zone. Write the lessons you have
learned inside the box provided.
“At the request of the local government and following consultations with the community,
it has been agreed to move the elementary school in Barangay XYZ from its current location
to an adjoining hillside. The current location experiences flooding during heavy rainfall, as
well as standing water after any rainfall. The foundation of the school is also affected by the
high ground water table. The community plans to use the new school as an evacuation centre
in case of flooding and heavy rainfall.
The local government has selected a site on a hillside on the edge of the barangay where
the travel distance from the community is not generally more than the current school. They
have levelled the site and are providing skilled workers and back- hoe for work on the site.
The community has collected funds to purchase the sand, gravel and rock needed for the
construction and an NGO is providing the other construction materials (e.g. cement, roofing,
wood etc.).
A site inspection indicates that all necessary preparations have been made for the
construction to begin. The local government will build a 3 meter- high retaining wall to hold
back the hillside behind the next year when additional funds are available.

The lesson that I learned from what I’m read is we

should need to be alert when it comes in hazard, we
need to be cooperate and helping each other so that we
can avoid any accident or harmful. The government can
one who lead of everything, provide and protect their
people as what they protect their position. Also we
need to be careful in everything especially in the
hazardous area.
