CHAPTER I. BACKGROUND
A. Introduction
Barangay Batuan in Ormoc City, like many coastal barangay in the Philippines, is
naturally gifted with very rich coastal resources. The fisher folk have been enjoying
bountiful harvest from their coastal waters even just after three to four hours of fishing.
But these living wonders, rich resources have been under severe stress and the
community is always facing the challenges of natural hazards such typhoons and
monsoon winds, which frequently affects not only in the barangay but the whole City
of Ormoc as well.
There are two types of Monsoon winds that regularly hit Brgy. Batuan are the North-
East Monsoon during the Month of December –February and the South-West
Monsoon during the month of June – September. Aside from the direct effect of strong
winds of the typhoon and big waves of the monsoon winds, it produces also ample
amount of rainfalls sea waters that causes floods and landslide to low lying areas of
the City.
The Barangay Batuan Contingency Plan on Typhoon will serve as a guide in the
implementation a proactive Disaster risk reduction programs that emphasize the five
pillars called: 1) Governance by making disaster risk reduction a priority agenda for
sustainable development; 2) Risk Assessment by improving risk information and early
warning; 3) Knowledge and Education through building culture of safety and resiliency
among vulnerable communities; 4) Vulnerability Reduction by reducing the risks of
Key sectors; and 5) Disaster Preparedness and Response for timely and effective
response mechanism. These Five Pillars of Disaster Risk Reduction of Barangay
Batuan aims to have a “Zero Casualty and No Injury every time hazard occurred.
B. Hazard Identification
Strong winds and heavy rainfall brought by typhoons have been the main
hazard that affects barangay and the City as a whole. Changing wind patterns and
Climate Change have made the City of Ormoc more vulnerable to the effects of
typhoon are the primary hazards in the barangay.Typhoon Uring (Flashflood) and the
Super Typhoon Yolanda badly affects the barangay. Lots of houses and barangay
properties had been damaged.

Note: Storm Surge treat has been omitted in this chart mainly because of the recent reclamation

As seen in the above probability and impact ratings of the hazards, typhoon is the
main hazard based on historical records, typhoon left most devastation in the lives and
properties of the communities. Some of the devastating typhoons that occurred in the
barangay from year 1991 to 2013 were TY Uring in 1991, TY Yolanda in 2013.
During the TY Yolanda, reaches 60% of the total house are affected or damaged. At
least 60% of the households from coastal were forcibly evacuated.

C. Hazard to Plan for: Typhoon
Based on the assessment of the hazards, Barangay Batuan having a contingency plan
for typhoon that shall help ensure preparedness for effective response in all 3 puroks.

The root cause of the typhoon is the geographic location of Brgy. Batuan. Typhoons
may occur in the month of June to December. However, there may be also typhoons
during the months of January to May due to climate change.
The early warning signs that the Brgy. DRRM Committee needs to watch out for are
the PAGASA Weather Bulletins; tri media (TV, radio and internet); indigenous
knowledge such unexplained migration of birds; blood red coloration of the sky during
sunset and sunrise and convergence of cirrus clouds at one point in the horizon.
The typhoon which may landfall in or within the vicinity of the barangay may be
triggered by other weather disturbances like Habagat or Southwest Monsoon, Low
Pressure Area and Inter-tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).
At the very least, Barangay Batuan has established existing mitigating measures in
response to a typhoon. These include non-structural measures like de-clogging and
trimming of tree branches as well as structural measures such as seawalls and the
construction and backfilling of the Bagsakan Area that now serves as the buffer zone
in which minimize the barangay’s risk of a Storm Surge.

Barangay Batuan will have to prepare for the worst case scenario as described in the
above table. In this case, a super typhoon shall make a landfall with maximum
sustained winds of greater than 250 kph, possibly triggering the occurrence of 5
meters storm surge. The typhoon could also lead to the occurrence of flooding and
rain-induced landslides in the identified areas.
A total of 646 individuals/163 families will be affected. Death toll will reach 8 with 300
injured and 5 missing persons.
Based on the scenario, it is assumed that the priority Puroks/Sitios will be those
located along coastal areas namely: Purok 1; followed by Purok 3 and Purok 2.
Barangay Emergency Operation Center (BEOC) will have to be activated with few
response groups in the Barangay. However, more response capabilities will be needed
due to the severity of the impact brought about by the typhoon.
