Emergency Contengency Program
Coralpoint Properties Inc. oversees Mactan Marina Mall, a prominent establishment located within
Economic Zone 1, housing a variety of tenants including supermarkets, restaurants, salons, spas, offices,
and various other services.
Coralpoint Properties Inc. has taken the necessary steps to create the following Emergency Response
Contingency Plan. The aim of this strategy is to safeguard the well-being of both employees and the
community in case of an emergency response incident, focusing on readiness and prevention of such
events.
The Emergency Response Contingency Plan serves as a comprehensive guide outlining emergency
procedures in case of unforeseen events during business operations. This plan encompasses internal
protocols, mutual aid, and external arrangements. All employees expected to participate in its execution
and oversight must have a thorough understanding of its contents. It is crucial to note that this plan
does not supersede individual judgment. In situations where life or property is at risk, employees may
need to make immediate decisions on appropriate actions, prioritizing life over property. Only
individuals who have received proper training should be tasked with responding to emergency
situations. It is essential for personnel consulting this manual to be well-versed in the equipment and
procedures required to effectively manage an emergency scenario.

If safe to do so and within the scope of training, attempt to suppress small fires using
appropriate fire extinguishers.
Evacuate the premises immediately if the fire is uncontrollable.
Earthquake: When shaking starts, DROP, COVER, and HOLD ON to protect yourself. If you are in bed, STAY
there and COVER your head and neck with a pillow. If you are outdoors, drop, then crawl towards open
space if you can. Stay away from buildings, power lines, and trees.
“DROP, COVER AND HOLD ON.” If you are not near a strong table or desk, drop to the floor
against an interior wall and cover your head and neck with your arms.
Avoid windows, hanging objects, mirrors, tall furniture, large appliances and cabinets filled with
heavy objects.
Do not try to run out of the structure during strong shaking.
Stay away from buildings. Glass from tall buildings does not always fall straight down; it can
catch a wind current and travel great distances.
If you use a wheelchair, lock the wheels and cover your head.
Move to a clear area if you can safely walk. Avoid power lines, buildings and trees.
If you’re driving or inside your car, pull to the side and stop. Avoid stopping under overhead
hazards.
Check the people around you for injuries; provide first aid. Do not move seriously injured
persons unless they are in immediate danger.
Check around you for dangerous conditions, such as fires, downed power lines and structure
damage.
If you have fire extinguishers and are trained to use them, put out small fires immediately.
Turn off the gas only if you smell gas.
Inspect structure for damage.
Move as little as possible so that you don’t kick up dust. Cover your nose and mouth with a
handkerchief or clothing.
Tap on a pipe or wall so that rescuers can hear where you are. Use a whistle if one is available.
Shout only as a last resort.
Severe weather: When a serious weather event such as heavy rain or a typhoon is approaching, pay
close attention to TV and radio reports and always try to get the latest information on the state of the
weather, river water levels, etc. If a heavy rain or flood warning is issued, prepare for evacuation (official
warnings will be announced on TV, radio, and on mobile phones.
