 Activity 2: Explain your answer.

1. Base from the bad experiences of people during landslide or sinkhole, do you
think people were ready when they encountered them?
 Yes, when they encounter landslides or sinkholes, they know now what to do.

2. What were the noticeable signs that there would be a landslide or a sinkhole?
 The warning sign you see near the locations

3. Did the PHIVOLCS give warning to the people about the possible
dangers of a landslide or sinkhole in your area?
 Yes
4. Why do you think that these are signs of an impending landslide or sinkhole?
 I’m completely I agree that those signs are of an impending landslide or sinkhole.

Activity 3
1. Multiple landslide events in the same place can be retrogressive, piecemeal or
reactivate.
2. Tension Cracks are created by the stress of geological material pulling apart.
3. J-curved trees are a patch of angled forest on a slope
4. Water levels on a creek suddenly dropping can be due to an upstream obstruction
like a landslide.
5. Debris Flow is a very wet, very mobile landslide, where water is loaded
with trees, mud, rock, and everything else caught in the current.

 WARNING SIGNS OF AN IMPENDING LANDSLIDE
There are different warning signs of an impending landslide which are Earlier
landslide as indicator, Tension cracks, Displacement of objects, uncharacteristic
water behavior. When these signs are present, we can stay alert, vigilant, attentive,
and aware of our surroundings, also we must stay away from path of cracks and
be on an elevated sturdy area. Furthermore, we must be aware of the locality
disaster readiness plan, watch news and stay calm. Thereof being said, before,
during and after a landslide we must be aware and vigilant of out current
situations, and technically ofour surroundings.

WARNING SIGNS OF AN IMPENDING SINKHOLE

There are different warning signs of an impending sinkhole, some signs of
sinkholes are observed fall, tilting and/or uprooting of trees and fences, slant
foundation, rapid appearance of crack and holes on ground, Sinkholes in the
neighborhood, contaminated and discolored water on well, Cracking or buckling
of home’s concrete slab, Separation between walls and ceiling or floors, Uneven
floors, warping of hardwood, bulging or sagging sections. When these signs are
present we can, first assess, if ever the sinkhole was undetected and suddenly
occur then, find a refuge place to be safe and stable ground, wait until sinkhole
stops occurring and the government declared the safety to go back to our
respective places. Moreover, after the appearance of sinkhole, we must stay away
from it, don’t meddle with it, find a safer place and secure all the left belonging
and properties of yours. Therefore, once we saw a sinkhole we must not meddle
with it rather stay calm and find a safer place to relocate yourself permanently,
since sinkhole are not like any other hole that can be covered up.

What I can Do
 There is no sign of landslides or sinkholes in our house, and the only thing that is
a tsunami or high tides.

 ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES - When you see that a landslide or
sinkhole is going to happen, we
need to evacuate immediately.
Before going to evacuation, we
must be prepared with the things
we need in the evacuation center.
After we are done, find a place
where you can stay and be safe.

-Important documents, water, food,

first aid kit, flashlight and whistle.
