 Looking back…
 DISASTER TIMELINE

Review the worst disaster in the timeline :

How did the disaster happen?

Was there a warning before the hazard/disaster

occurred??
Sino at saan naapektuhan ng disaster?
What areas were affected? Who were the hit the
worst?

What was the pre-cursor to the disaster or what were

the signs before the impact of the hazard was felt?
 Scenario Building

know the meeting or pick up point
for them
 Family Preparedness Tips – FOR ALL HAZARDS

 Know the hazard prone and risk areas in

your community, and be prepared to avoid
or adapt to hazardous situations
 Learn about early warnings in your
community, participate in emergency
drills, know the nearest evacuation
centers
 Comply with regulations and ordinances
such as land use and solid waste
management
 Ensure stability of appliances and
furnitures both inside and outside your

 INITIAL CHECKLIST FOR TSUNAMI PREPAREDNESS (2)
 Does your community conduct tsunami drills?
 Is there an established community-based tsunami warning
system?
 Is there a long-term development plan where tsunami risk
reduction measures are incorporated?
 Is there a plan on how to sustain the efforts in the long-
term?
Are members of the community involved in tsunami
preparedness…
 (a)To educate everyone about evacuation scheme?

(b)To inform everyone with things they can do to
increase community safety
