Activity 1: What I Know
WHAT I KNOW
A disaster is an event whose
timing is unexpected and whose
consequences are seriously
destructive.
Disasters are classified into
natural disasters, man-made
disasters, and hybrid disasters.
The difference between a
natural disaster and a man-
made disaster is that the natural
disaster is caused by natural
forces, and man-made disasters
are the results of thoughtless
actions of humans.

QUESTIONS WHAT I LEARNED
1. What I know A disaster is a serious disruption of
about disaster? the functioning of a community or a
society at any scale due to
hazardous events interacting with
conditions of exposure, vulnerability
and capacity, leading to one or
more human, material, economic
and environmental losses and
impacts.
2. What are the Natural Disasters and a Human-
two classifications made Disasters.
of disasters?
3. What is the A natural disaster is a disaster
difference between caused by nature, and men have no
control over them. Earthquakes,
human-made and tsunamis, floods, landslides,
natural disaster? hurricanes, wildfires, droughts,
volcanic eruptions are some
examples of natural disasters. Such
disasters cause massive loss of life,
property, and many other miseries.
On the other side, A man-made
disaster is a disaster caused by
human beings. Some examples of
man-made disasters include
hazardous material spills,
explosions, chemical or biological
attacks, nuclear blasts, traffic
collisions such as train accidents,
plane crashes, etc. Most of these
disasters are in the form accidents
(except attacks) and cause deaths,
injuries, and loss of property.
Activity 3: Skill-building Activities
EXERCISE 1
1. 2020 Taal Volcano Eruption
2. 2013 Typhoon Nari (Bagyong Santi)
3. 2019 Luzon Earthquake
- A 6.1 Magnitude earthquake
Typhoon Santi hit the northern
Philippines early on 12 October 2013,
killing 13 people and affecting more
than 200,000. More than 9,000
families were displaced in evacuation
centers. More than 16,500 homes
were damaged. The power and
telecommunication facilities had
been shut down for hours. The storm
ripped off roofs of homes and
buildings, toppling trees and
triggering flash floods and landslides
before blowing away into the West
Philippine Sea. So that the military
and other concerned and
volunteered citizens struggled to
clear roads of toppled trees and
power pylons wrecked by the storm.

EXERCISE 3
1. What are your experiences about a disaster?
My family and I experienced a devastating day that I’d thought will never happened here in our town.
That is when Typhoon Santi hit almost the entire Luzon, and our town is part of it. Our community
experienced being drought for the first time. Our first floor, is flooded so all of our stuffs and other
things that is on the first floor was brought up to the second floor. After the strong whirling of winds and
a heavy rain. The total shock of the storm carried us through as did the deeper shock from euphoria at
surviving. The ‘survivor guilt’ you hear about started early and was overwhelming at times. I felt guilt
about everything and everyone, but once I could label it as such it started to become easier to deal with.
I often wished I was strong enough to help those in needs so that they did not die that time. “I noticed
how my neighbor’s faces had changed from before the disaster. The other young people like me at that
time looked so much older, haggard, as if their childhood had gone.”
 2. What is the first response that you did to avoid injuries?
After the storm, avoid wild or stray animals, avoid the use of electric tools or appliances while standing
in water, never turn power on or off yourself or use an electric tool or appliance while standing in water.
If electrical circuits and electrical equipment have gotten wet or are in or near water, turn off the power
at the main breaker or fuse on the service panel. If you must enter standing water to access the main
power switch, then call an electrician to turn it off.

After an earthquake, if you are trapped by falling items or a collapse, protect your mouth, nose, and
eyes from dust. Once you are safe, help others and check for damage. Protect yourself by wearing
sturdy shoes and work gloves, to avoid injury from broken glass and debris. Also wear a dust mask and
eye protection.
