Detailed Lesson Plan On DRRR
Duration: 60 minutes
Objective:
Recognize the importance of preparedness and safety measures during typhoon events.
Materials:
Whiteboard or blackboard
Markers or chalk
Procedure:
Introduction (5 minutes)
a. Begin the lesson by asking the students if they have ever heard of or experienced a typhoon. Encourage them to share
their knowledge or personal experiences.
b. Explain that a typhoon is a powerful tropical cyclone that forms over warm ocean waters. It is characterized by strong
winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges, making it a potential hydrometeorological hazard.
b. Discuss the definition of a typhoon: a severe tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 mph (119 km/h).
c. Explain that typhoons form in warm ocean waters near the equator when the sea surface temperature is at least 80°F
(27°C) or higher.
d. Describe the stages of typhoon formation: tropical disturbance, tropical depression, tropical storm, and typhoon.
e. Highlight the key factors necessary for typhoon formation, such as warm ocean temperatures, low wind shear, and
sufficient moisture in the atmosphere.
i. Strong winds: Typhoons are known for their powerful winds that can reach speeds of over 150 mph (240 km/h).
ii. Heavy rainfall: Typhoons bring torrential rains, leading to floods and landslides.
iii. Storm surges: Explain that typhoons can cause a rise in sea level, leading to coastal flooding and erosion.
b. Use visual aids to show the destructive power of a typhoon, such as images of damaged buildings, flooded areas, and
uprooted trees.
a. Discuss the potential impacts of typhoons on the environment, economy, and human populations.
b. Environmental impacts: Explain how typhoons can cause deforestation, destruction of habitats, and changes in
ecosystems.
c. Economic impacts: Discuss the damage caused by typhoons to infrastructure, agriculture, and the tourism industry.
Objective: By the end of this lesson, students will be able to understand the nature of typhoons, their characteristics, and
associated hazards, as well as learn how to prepare for and respond to typhoon events.

Introduction (5 minutes)
Begin the lesson by asking students if they have ever heard of or experienced a typhoon. Encourage them to share their
knowledge and experiences.
Explain that a typhoon is a powerful tropical cyclone that forms over the ocean. It is known by different names in various
parts of the world, such as hurricane or cyclone.
State the objective of the lesson: to understand the nature of typhoons, their characteristics, associated hazards, and
how to prepare for and respond to typhoon events.
Present information on the formation of typhoons, including the necessary conditions such as warm ocean waters, moist
air, and a convergence of winds.
Explain how typhoons develop from tropical depressions to tropical storms and eventually reach typhoon status.
Highlight the role of wind speed and sustained intensity.
Discuss the key characteristics of a typhoon, including its size, wind speed, and the eye of the storm.
Explain the concept of the eye wall and how it is the most dangerous part of the typhoon, with the strongest winds and
heaviest rainfall.
Present a list of hazards associated with typhoons, such as strong winds, heavy rainfall, storm surge, and flooding.
Explain the impact of these hazards on communities, infrastructure, and the environment.
Provide examples of past typhoon events and their devastating consequences to emphasize the importance of
preparedness and response.
Preparedness and Response (15 minutes)
Discuss the importance of being prepared for typhoon events and provide practical tips for preparedness, such as
creating an emergency kit, having an evacuation plan, and staying informed through reliable sources of information.
Explain the significance of early warning systems and how they help in timely evacuation and preparation.
Discuss community-based preparedness efforts and the role of government agencies and organizations in disaster
response.
Provide a case study of a past typhoon event and ask students to analyze the impacts, response, and lessons learned.
Engage students in a discussion about what could have been done differently to mitigate the effects of the typhoon and
protect lives and property.
Summarize the key points covered in the lesson, emphasizing the importance of understanding typhoons, recognizing
the associated hazards, and being prepared.
If time permits, show a video or documentary about a typhoon event to provide a visual understanding of the
phenomenon.
Distribute handouts with typhoon safety tips for students to take home and share with their families.
Objective:
Demonstrate an understanding of the importance of early detection and preparedness for such hazards.

Procedure:
Class Period 1:
Introduction (10 minutes):
Begin the lesson by discussing the meaning of hydrometeorological hazards, such as floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and
severe storms.
Ask students if they have ever experienced or witnessed any of these hazards and invite them to share their experiences
briefly.
Present a brief overview of different types of hydrometeorological hazards, including floods, hurricanes, tornadoes,
thunderstorms, and blizzards.
Divide the class into small groups and provide each group with a handout containing different signs of impending
hydrometeorological hazards.
Instruct the groups to study the handout and discuss the signs and indicators related to their assigned hazard.
After the discussion, ask each group to present their findings to the class, explaining the signs they identified and how
they relate to the specific hazard.
Facilitate a class discussion to compare and contrast the signs and indicators across different hazards.
Emphasize the importance of observing these signs to ensure early detection and preparedness.
Introduce the concept of emergency preparedness and explain its significance in mitigating the impacts of
hydrometeorological hazards.
Discuss safety guidelines and emergency preparedness resources available to individuals and communities.
Provide examples of emergency supply kits, evacuation plans, and communication strategies during emergencies.
Encourage students to explore and research their local emergency management resources.
Homework:
Assign students the task of researching recent hydrometeorological hazards in their region and documenting any signs or
warnings that were observed before the event. Ask them to report their findings in the next class.
Class Period 2:
Begin the class by reviewing the homework assignment. Allow students to share their findings and discuss any common
signs or patterns observed.
Facilitate a class discussion about the importance of reporting and sharing information on impending hazards to relevant
authorities and communities.
Show videos or images of real-life examples of hydrometeorological hazards, focusing on the signs and indicators
observed before the event.
Analyze the examples together as a class, discussing the warning signs, early detection measures, and potential ways to
minimize damage.
Divide the class into small groups and provide each group with a specific case study related to a hydrometeorological
hazard.
Instruct the groups to read the case study and identify the signs and indicators that could have helped in predicting and
preparing
