FOREWORD
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management needs to be founded on principles of none duplication of efforts
and resources, clear understanding of roles and responsibilities of each player in the humanitarian arena
as well as timely implementation of appropriate actions. This DRRM principles are consistent with the
current principle of DRRM which the shifting of the paradigm from being reactive to proactive DRRM. This
means that Disaster Response Actions are timely and appropriate to make actions effective.
This Manuals of Operations contains the different Standard Operating Procedures for the practice of
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management in the Municipality of Alfonso Lista, Ifugao. The Standard
Operating Procedures are outlined specific to the type of disaster and events, its emergence and extent
and/or potential damages that can be experienced of a certain situation in any given time. Though, this
book serves as the Manuals Of Operations containing the Standards Operations Procedures of the
Municipality, this book could also be considered to be used in other non-DRR related operations or
procedures whenever needed. This book also needs to be updated as the drafting of this book is intended
to the foreseen events that might occur but may not be relevant due in the future to the kind of situation
that may occur, where scenarios are newly experienced. Other need standard operating procedures that
are not included in this book can also be made to augment and improve the practice of Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management of the Municipal DRRM Office and of the MDRRM Council.
In preparing this Operations Manual, it considers the reality that in any given disaster that takes place in
any given area, the primary responders are the disaster victims themselves and more importantly, is the
fact that disaster risk reduction and management is a responsibility of each and every member of the
society, achieving a disaster resilient community.

PURPOSES
This Standard Operations Procedure is drafted for approval to be used in the practice of Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management in the Municipality. Various problems and issues are being observed in the
ii
past DRR operations, as to when to act, who are the actors and what are the limitations DRR personnel
or stakeholder can do. DRR practitioners usually are confused; do not know whom to put the
accountability or who to ask for permissions in executing actions or who the persons, entities in-charge
are. These issues and problems are due to uncoordinated actions and response of the different
government and non-government sectors.
These reasons is where this Manual of Operation is drafted. It is meant to strengthen and concretize these
relationships and coordination among various players in the locality, thereby reducing duplication of
efforts among disaster management service providers. The manual further strengthens the role of the
MDRRMC as a body and the roles each of member in order to attain the government's DRRM objective
of "ZERO CASUALTY".

b) Drought

Is defined as three (3) consecutive months of way below normal (> 60% reduction from average)
or five consecutive months of below normal (21%-60% reduction from average) rainfall
condition.
2
 The presence of El Niño in the Pacific Ocean has caused the reduction of rain amount and
occurrence in the country. The effects of drought brought by El Niño Phenomenon have greatly
affected the agricultural sector. The municipality which majority of its population is engaged in
agriculture is not spared; corn, rice, fishing and other agricultural endeavors are the most
affected. Availability of water for domestic use among residents is also scarce.

c) Flood

Sitio
Pugo

3
 Is defined as a rise, usually brief, in the water level in a stream to a peak from which the water
level recedes at a slower rate (UNESCO-WMO, 1974). It could be a great flow of water that rises
and spreads over the land and may result when a volume of water from lakes/streams/rivers
exceeds its carrying capacity and escapes from its usual boundaries. It is also the result of heavy
rainfall or cloudburst over a relatively small drainage area. Flash floods carry highly destructive
flood waves and are most common in mountainous areas or in steep places that have streams
flowing though narrow canyons. It happens quickly and moves with little warning.

The municipality have experienced flash floods in the past, specifically in Sitio Pugo, San Juan. In
the year 2008, Sitio Pugo has been flooded since it is located in the natural flow of water. The
eastern barangays where barangay San Juan is located normally experience flooding during
abnormal heavy, prolong rainy days due to its low elevation and their proximity to the Magat
River.

d) Earthquake
East Cordillera Fault

Alfonso Lista,
Ifugao crossed
by the East
Cordillera Fault

 The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology’s (PhilVolcs) seismic Hazard Assessment
indicates that Alfonso Lista is PRONE to Ground Shaking but could be mitigated by following
the standards of the National Building Code and the Structural Code of the Philippines. The
locality is SAFE from ground rupture and liquefaction, while for earthquake-induced landslide is
for updating by the said agency.

Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology’s (PhilVolcs) Volcanic Hazard Assessment also
indicates that Alfonso Lista is prone to Ash Fall in case the nearest volcano namely, Cagua which
is 159.1 km away.

The municipality’s compliance to building codes is yet to be determined. As of now there are
only 123 houses and 174 public and private buildings complied to secure the building permit.
Occupancy permits are yet to be determined.

e) Water shortage

Water shortage in the municipality is the effect of the drought or El Niño phenomenon. Water
sources of the municipality, specifically for domestic consumption mainly sourced from the rivers
and tributaries, shallow/deep pump wells and dug wells, which usually dry up during sunny
days.

Since 2011, Alfonso Lista Water and Sanitation Authority (ALWASA) was established to address
water shortages and improve the lives of the people. It initially serviced seven barangays namely,
Santo Domingo, Namillangan, Namnama, Potia, Santa Maria, Busilac and Pinto and extended to
only one barangay in 2015 in barangay Caragasan and in 2016 in some portions of Barangay
Calupaan. Out of the 20 barangays of the municipality, there are still eleven more barangays
needed to be serviced by the level III water system of which two barangays in the eastern part
of the municipality is lined up to be serviced in 2017.

In the summer of 2015, there are about more than two consecutive weeks of water disruption
to ALWASA services due to the effects of inadequate water reserve at the Magat river which is
the source of water for the ALWASA. This occurrence has also threatened the future of our
water sources if El Niño continues to persist.

Damages on the facilities of ALWASA due to typhoons and wear and tear as observed in recent
years is one of the threats that the municipality faces since there are no other reliable water
sources that could cater the growing population of the municipality.

f) Landslide

The topography of the municipality does shows that we are not prone to the effects of landslide.
In the map shown below, indicates the municipality's susceptibility to landslides, the red shaded
areas are usually pasture areas or idle lands while the green shaded are farmlands, pasture lands
and settlements. The overall susceptibility to landslide of the municipality is low.

g) Erosion
Soil erosions in the municipality is caused by the excessive use of herbicides, fertilizers,
kaingin/deforestations and other human activities. However, it is not yet causing an alarm on
the safety of the people, but is also threatening the livelihood and of road infrastructures due to
soil scouring off the farms and road infrastructures after heavy rains or prolong rains.

h) Disease Outbreaks
The municipality is not excused to the health epidemics caused by mosquitoes such as Dengue
Fever/Hemorrhagic Fever and Chikungunya due to the practices of the people related to water
shortages or during rainy days. Due to the limited sources of water, it is a normal practice among
the people to stockpile water as much as they can, which is an ideal opportunity for mosquitoes
to thrive and infect as many people as they could.
The following table (highlighted in orange) shows the number of epidemic cases caused by
mosquitoes, excluding the cases that are being treated outside the municipality:

Number of Recorded Cases

Name 2011 2012 2013 2014 Total
Upper Respiratory Tract Infection 1,260 3,768 3,633 5,574 14,235
Urinary Tract Infection 1,548 1,315 1,221 1,491 5,575
Acute Gastroenteritis 678 750 258 376 2,062
Dengue (Fever/Hemorrhagic) 776 186 228 40 1,230
Chikungunya 241 241
*Cases recorded by the local health personnel, excluding cases that are brought to
private/public hospitals outside the municipality.

The latest novel coronavirus or COVID19 has also a debilitating effects in all aspects of the society,
especially on the economy. Several daily wage earners are the most affected individuals. It has
also threatened the LGU’s capacity in responding to other hazards and disasters especially for
evacuations. COVID19 requires social distancing and wearing of facemasks and frequent hand
washing, which challenges the readiness of our LGU in terms of logistical needs. Such logistics,
adequate evacuation centers that can ensure social distancing, hand washing which require
adequate water supply where right after typhoons, water supply is usually interrupted; and
available facemasks, which funds were already exhausted due to the prior expenses against
COVID19. The municipality have a total of 860 people confirmed infections and a total of 28
deaths as of December 31, 2021.
Another disease to animals have also struck heavily the livestock farmers. African Swine Fever
(ASF) have also caused a great deal in the locality and have affected most of the commercial
and backyard hog raisers. There are 808 total farmers affected, 5,305 total of hogs infected and
only 114 out of the 808 farmers were compensated by the Department of Agriculture’s
financial/indemnity assistance. Though the Provincial government have provided six (6) piglets
for repopulation and three (3) sow feeding program to some hog farmers who have not availed
the assistance form the Department of Agriculture.
i) Erosion
Soil erosions in the municipality is caused by the excessive use of herbicides, fertilizers,
kaingin/deforestations and other human activities. However, it does not cause alarm to the safety
of the people, but threatens the livelihood of the populace, because soil erosions scrapes the
rich top soil of natural fertilizers needed to enhance productive farming.
7
 j) Arm Conflict
There were no recorded arm conflicts in the municipality in recent years, though there are
activities and presence of the anti-government army being recorded by the Armed Forces of
the Philippines especially in the far-flung sitios of the northern part of the municipality.

k) Vehicular Accident
Vehicular accident is highest recorded incidents in the municipality based on the Philippine
National Police’s records. Please refer on the table below:

It is due to the reason that there is an increasing number of motorized vehicles traversing the
roads. Most of the reasons of vehicular accidents usually due to human error which is usually
caused by drivers driving under the influence of alcohol.

III. STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES

1. SYSTEM OF OPERATION FOR THE MUNICIPAL EMERGENCY DISASTER

OPERATIONS CENTER

A. INSTITUTIONAL MECHANISM

The Municipality of Alfonso Lista maintains and operates an Operation Center on a 24/7 basis which
have pilot testing in November to December 2016. Due to its relevance to the attainment of MDRRMC’s
mission, vision, goals and objectives have prompt the MDRRMC to officially establish the said DRRM
Operations Center through the MDRRMC Resolution No. 04 Series 2017.
The mission of the Alfonso Lista Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Operations Center is to
operate on a 24-hour basis, seven days a week in order to provide timely response to any situation that
distresses the populace thru the coordination to and participation of the different concerned
government entities and instrumentalities. It also disseminates disaster preparedness measures before
the onset of imminent dangers and to facilitate effective management of the consequences of disasters
or emergency situations requiring interventions of national government agencies and LGU departments
with the aim at minimizing adverse effects of disasters. The LDRRMC also envisions that the Municipality
of Alfonso Lista is a municipality that maintains the pace of its progress and development as a mirror of
its resiliency.
Once activated, concerned member LGU departments of the MDRRMC shall render duty at the
Operation Center on a 24/7 basis to support work force requirement and facilitate immediate
monitoring, coordination and facilitate requests. The ideal approach is that all members of the Response
Committee of the MDRRMC shall render duty at the Operation Center as practiced at the
CRDRRMC/PDRRM OC whenever activated. However, given the extent of damages of previous hazards,
only selected few are expected to render duty at the Operation Center. The MDRRMC Chairperson
appoints or selects among the MDRRMC members that shall render duty (24/7) at the Operation Center
before the commencement of Blue or Red alert status.
When activated, the Alfonso Lista Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Operations
Center (ALMDRRM OC) becomes the

A. Central Command and Control for resource mobilization, response coordination and
information management. With this, it is therefore expected that all DRRM stakeholders,
volunteers and donations in cash or in kind shall report or passed thru the Operation Center for
accounting and deployment. No government or private entities shall act without the knowledge
and permission of the Central Command and Control which is the ALMDRRM OC.
B. All barangay officials are also advised to follow the same in order to established a uniformed alert
mechanism and for an effective communication flow and reporting system.
C. As a matter of protocol and proactive action, all Emergency Operations Center being established
by the BDRRMCs shall likewise follow the level of activation and color coded alert status and be
in synergized with the ALMDRRM OC.
