INTRODUCTION
A Family Safety Plan is an essential tool designed to ensure the protection of the lives of our
loved ones during disasters and emergencies. This provides a structured plan to preparing for
natural calamities, emergencies as well as human-made incidents that might happen. A Family
Safety Plan's ability to reduce casualties, injuries, the impact of disasters on people's physical
and mental health is what makes it so important.

Disaster is a significant event that causes damage and destruction, whether be it natural
calamities or human-made incidents. Hazards are the potential threats and risks that can lead to
disasters or other unwanted consequences. A Disaster Risk Reduction is the systematic and
sustainable plan that can reduce risks that comes from disasters.

According to Marie Iannos et al. (2023), Planning for safety is a key practice element for
service providers of intensive home-based family support programs for high-risk families
with multiple complex problems. The ultimate aim is to ensure the parent is able to
provide adequate safety, stability and security so that the children can stay safe within
their family. Creating a safety plan is a collaborative task undertaken by parents and
worker together, rather than a set of "rules" imposed on the family. Engaging the family
respectfully, and acknowledging and utilizing the family's strengths are essential.
Addressing the family's basic survival and safety needs (physical safety, food, shelter,
and clothing) should be prioritized above other interventions (e.g., parenting strategies)
within the program. Safety goals should be clearly articulated in behavioral terms.
Workers are encouraged to review the safety plans regularly as the family achieves
their safety goals within the program, as well as work into the plan how the family will
manage any crises that may arise.

typhoon or tropical cyclones are among the most destructive weather phenomena. They are
intense circular storms that originate over warm tropical oceans, and have maximum sustained
wind speeds exceeding 119 kilometers per hour and heavy rains.

A housefire is a large fire that occurs in, around, or throughout a house.

Our house is located where houses are nearly closely clustered. When in rains, the canals can
occasionally be clogged leading to flooding and if a house fire occurs, it has the potential to
affect numerous families' homes resulting in both numerous injuries and property damage.
III. HOME HAZARD HUNT

Conducting a home hazard hunt is important to ensure the safety and well-being of my family
and to our property. I started by observing and addressing the cracks on our walls as they could
be a potential damage of earthquake. It could also cause us harm when another earthquake
comes. Additionally, the leaks in one of our rooms is likely caused by typhoon-related issues
and it should be investigated promptly to prevent more damage and mold growth. Lastly, given
that some parts of our house are constructed of wood, like my room, it is more prone to have a
house fire and so it is an essential to implement fire safety measures.
