1. Lesson learned from Typhoon Ondoy, and Yolanda?

Living life in merry go round, natural disaster. We need to have a emergency preparedness, having a plan
and knowing the steps to take so that we are ready if disaster strikes. Learn evacuation area routes, to find
out how you should get out of your area if you need to. We need a family emergency plans, talk to your
family about what should do?. We need to Assemble also the emergency kit, the easy to carry bag, store
copies the document s such as birth certificates, Identification card, checks, spare keys etc. and also You
need to be preceded in the news to the radio, television or social media to keep updated of what happen in
the surroundings.

2. What innovative methods can be utilized to rebuild community after high end typhoon?
we find ourselves faced with the difficult task of moving forward with purpose and hope, both as
individuals and as a people.  While we may not have been directly touched by this event, or we may have
been personally immune to such tragedies in our own past, disasters like this one may feel omnipresent
and inescapable in today’s media rich culture. I know that it is hard to recover one community, I think
little help will change the lives of the survivors like you will give donations to them food, clothes,
medication, first aid kit, hygiene products, tools and supplies etc. but I know that there's an NGO’s will
help. Particularly for people who are still recovering from the trauma. One more thing we need to help
each other even though it's hard to rebuild again

3. What is the role of the media in disaster risk reduction and resilience?

influence of the mass media in today's society, they have become an inseparable part of any social
situation. Mass media facilitates access to information for policymakers, managers and citizens alike and
increases the speed with which new information is gathered accumulated and distributed, further
increasing its role in managing situations such as natural disasters.Media and communication is a great
role in saving the lives of people vulnerable to disasters. It can provide life-saving information. Media is
one of the important role disseminating information to the public before, during and after that happens in
our world. Media disseminates information by educating the public about the disaster to be alert of what
will happen so that we can be prepared to the disaster that will came.

4. Are we systematically compromising disaster risk reduction to include climate change adaption?

Yes we systematically compromising DRR to include climate change adaptation because the “disaster
risk reduction” and “climate change adaptation” represent policy goals, one concerned with an on-going
problem (disasters) and the other with an emerging issue (climate change). While these concerns has
different, they overlap a great deal through the common factor of weather and climate and the similar
tools used to monitor, analyse and address adverse consequences. It makes sense, therefore, to consider
them and implement them in a systematic and integrated manner. Climate change adaptation and disaster
risk reduction share another common feature – they are not sectors in themselves but must implemented
through the policies of other sectors, in particular, those of agriculture, water resources, health, land use,
environment and planning .There are also linkages with other policies, most notably poverty eradication
and planning for sustainable development, and education and science.

5. Base on your experience what are some examples of community resilience projects gone wrong?

Unfortunately, the situation is very hard, people are not in good condition so that people need help from
the government. The government distributes the help for the people but some of it is not distributed for
the poorest of the poor because of selfishness. They take advantage of the people who are lacking in the
resources. The example of the community resilience is NGO’s gave unconditional money to the affected
citizens which are in comparison to just receiving the food and give people not only the aid but also
having some control over their response action. Then people got some money and started up a local
pastime of cock-fighting, including betting. That infuriated the NGO folks they give money to the people
to survive and gamble it away but sometimes the help is not enough.

II. Calculate the following:

Right now our country is facing the COVID 19 from January 2020 up to present. This global
pandemic estimate cost of 10 Billion pesos. The cost for testing kit and other medicine devices is
estimated around 100 Million Pesos. Find the value of ROI, Reduction and Savings per year? What
generalization can be made from these?

Given:

Annualized rate of occurrence = 3 months

Expected monetary loss for single event = 10 Billion pesos.

Reduction in probability of occurrence with implemented control = 85%

Cost of control = 100 Million Pesos

Reduction : 3 x 10, 000, 000, 000 x 85% = 25,500,000,000 pesos

25,500,000,000−100 , 000 , 000

ROI = = 254
100 , 000 , 000

Savings per year 100, 000, 000 x 254 = 25,400,000,000

We face the outbreak of the virus called Covid 19 or the coronavirus. The Expected monetary loss in this
crisis is Ten Billion pesos for three months. The cost for testing kit and other medical devices is estimated
at around one hundred Million Pesos and the Reduction in the probability of occurrence with
implemented control is eighty-five percent. Base on my calculation The savings per year is
25,400,000,000.
