I. Objectives of this preparedness plan. Page | 3

Disasters, whether natural or human-induced, can cause widespread
devastation and pose significant threats to communities worldwide. They
disrupt essential services, displace populations, and inflict immense human
suffering. Disaster preparedness is essential to mitigate these impacts and
enhance community resilience. This involves implementing emergency
response plans, promoting public awareness, and developing resilient
infrastructure. Proactive measures save lives and minimize economic losses,
highlighting the crucial importance of disaster preparedness in safeguarding
communities and ensuring swift recovery from unforeseen adversities
(Wisner, 2003). With this, this plan’s main objective is to mitigate risks and
enhance resilience. Specifically, it aims to address the following:
 Identify the hazards most likely to affect the area along with the
partakers in this plan;
 Determine essential information that must be publicly known in case
of emergencies through hazard maps, consultation with
governmental officials in the area, and surveys of residents;
 Propose plans to the local officials in order to increase resiliency;
 Provide methods appropriate to the nature of the hazards to address
them properly; and
 Practice these methods to ensure preparedness.

II. Partakers and those primarily involved.

The preceding assessments or observed data are derived from the members of the group
who completed this task. Subsequent observations, proposals, and images are sourced from the
public domain. Community discussions were done by only one member while the rest partook in
family discussions.

III. Plan synopsis.

Mabalacat City in the Philippines faces several potential hazards, including typhoons,
flooding, landslides, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and urban fires. These risks stem from its
geographical location, topography, and climate. Generally, disaster preparedness plans aim to
involve as many community members as possible to ensure widespread awareness, participation,
and cooperation in emergency response efforts. In the disaster preparedness plan for Mabalacat
City, we are committed to including all community members. This encompasses residents, local
business owners, community leaders, volunteers, government officials, emergency responders, and
other stakeholders. Mabalacat City is a comprehensive process involving various steps. This
includes community surveys and interviews to understand residents' health requirements,
assessments of healthcare facilities to identify available resources and gaps, collaboration with
health authorities to address prevalent health issues, and engagement with vulnerable populations
to cater to their unique needs. In Mabalacat City, the process of determining whom to call in

emergencies follows a similar framework to that of other regions. Local Page | 4

police, fire departments, or medical services are also reachable for non-life-
threatening yet urgent matters. Mapping transportation routes and
infrastructure follows, with a focus on identifying transportation hubs,
stops, stations, bike lanes, pedestrian walkways, and parking facilities.
Visualizing the transportation network helps assess its connectivity and
accessibility within the community.

Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have become virtual hubs for
community interaction, enabling residents to share news, organize events, and build relationships
online. Radio and television remain integral components of community communication, providing
accessible channels for broadcasting news updates, emergency alerts, and community
announcements. Print media publications, such as newspapers and magazines, continue to play a
vital role in community communication, offering in-depth coverage of local events, stories, and
issues. Plans and kits serve as lifelines during crises.

First and foremost, access to clean water is paramount. Secondly, a sufficient supply of non-
perishable food items is crucial. A well-stocked first aid kit is indispensable in addressing injuries
and medical emergencies. Additionally, access to reliable lighting sources is essential during power
outages or darkness. Blankets, warm clothing, and sturdy shoes should also be included to protect
against harsh weather conditions and provide comfort during emergencies. In conclusion, a well-
prepared community plan and survival kit should encompass these essential items to ensure
residents' resilience and ability to cope with various emergency scenarios.

IV. Community resources.

According to the newly-elected SK Kagawad of Duquit, John Kenneth Santos, due to being
just elected as the SK Kagawad, there is no information regarding this. Hydrometeorological
hazards are added to the geological studies in focus. It is also mentioned that different committees
are responsible to respond to various natures of hazard. With this, data from the community-based
preparedness plan is still not available since they claim that the data may be obsolete since it is last
updated by the officials in place prior them. It is also determined that evacuation centers vary from
public schools to even governmental building like the multi-purpose hall and covered courts.
Additionally, eFOI (eFreedom of Information) site is down so no list of official evacuation centers
are given since data from other sites may be obsolete. Aside from those provided by the members,
there are no other listed evacuation centers.

A bit of research would then lead to this file given by the MCC:
[Link]
BR%20NO_15%20S.%[Link]. This file gives methods on how to respond to different hazards.
This was used by the stakeholders of MCC along with the Mayor to come up with a disaster
preparedness plan. It is recommended to open it for review.

The former municipality underwent official city status elevation Page | 6

through a referendum held on July 21, 2012, thereby becoming the third city
in the province of Pampanga, succeeding Angeles City and San Fernando.
Despite the city's developmental progress, it faces various challenges to the
well-being of its residents, including natural disasters, environmental
concerns, and social and economic issues.

VI. Hazards in the community and their nature.

Geologically, Mabalacat City is prone to hazards, particularly seismic and volcanic activities,
as indicated by HazardHunterPH (n.d.). Situated approximately 25.6 kilometers from the West
Valley Fault, the city faces a high susceptibility to seismic activity with an intensity level of VIII.
Additionally, the proximity of Mount Pinatubo, which erupted in 1991 and caused significant
damage to Pampanga, including Mabalacat, at about 25.1 kilometers away, adds to the volcanic risk.
According to [Link] (n.d.), these geographical factors significantly expose the city to
ground shaking and volcanic threats. It is also imperative to acknowledge that Mabalacat City,
although at a less alarming level, is also susceptible to earthquake-induced landslides, and
liquefaction as mentioned by HazardHunterPH. The following hazard maps will be preceding this
along with the hazard’s nature. Refer to the appendix for better quality of the hazard maps.

 According to the Earthquake-Induced Landslide Hazard Map released by
HazardHunterPH, and DOST’s Project NOAH landslide hazard map, the
western sector of the city is primarily affected by this hazard. They are
mainly concentrated in mountainous areas, particularly in Calampang
and Dau, according to the Mabalacat Comprehensive Land Use Plan
(2017). Refer to the image below.
 Earthquake-induced landslides involve the downward displacement of
rocks, soil, and other materials on steep slopes due to seismic activity
(HazardHunterPH - Glossary of Terms, n.d.).
 Landslides in Mabalacat City can be caused by heavy rainfall, strong
earthquakes, or human activities.

VId. Liquefaction Page | 10

 Upon observing the Liquefaction hazard map from HazardHunterPH,
similar areas highlighted in the Volcanic hazard map of Mabalacat City
are more likely to be affected.
 Liquefaction is a process where sediments transform from a solid to a
liquid state under intense shaking.
 Heavy loads on top of liquefied sediments may sink or tilt as the
sediments can no longer support them.

In essence, fostering community preparedness through activities Page | 11

such as drills and educational programs is vital for residents to comprehend
potential risks and take appropriate actions during geological events,
empowering them to respond effectively and minimize harm. Ongoing
scientific monitoring and research on geological hazards are crucial for
improving warning systems. Technological advancements and enhanced
data analysis contribute to a more profound understanding of these events,
leading to more accurate predictions and warnings.

VIIb. Utility shut-offs locations for sudden hazards. Page | 15

Water shut-offs refer to the process of turning off the water supply
to a particular location, such as a building, residence, or specific plumbing
fixture. This action is typically performed to perform maintenance or repairs
on the plumbing system, to prevent water damage in case of a leak or burst
pipe, or as part of emergency response procedures during natural disasters
or other emergencies. Water shut-offs can be conducted manually by turning
a valve, electronically using a control system, or remotely by a utility
company in some cases. Upon discussion with family members of one of
the households of the members, it is determined that a valve is used to
turn it off manually.

specific electrical circuit or system. They are often used as a safety measure
during maintenance or repairs to ensure that no electrical power is flowing
to the area where work is being performed. It is also determined in the
family discussion that electrical disconnect switches are present at the
household.

Gas shut-offs are essential for ensuring the safety and reliability of
gas distribution systems, preventing gas leaks, and minimizing the risk of
fire, explosions, and other hazards associated with natural gas or propane. It
is also determined that the said household requires manual turn-off of
the gas tanks.

Water, electricity, and gas shut-off places from one of the households (2024)

It is important to recognize the situation when it is needed to shut-

offs these. The following sections explain this.

 HOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY –
BASIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

Possible Reasons for Water Shut-offs Page | 16

 Emergency Plumbing Repairs: In the event of a burst pipe, leak, or
plumbing emergency, shutting off the water supply can prevent further
damage.
 Replacing Fixtures: Before replacing faucets, toilets, or other plumbing
fixtures, shutting off the water supply ensures a dry work area and
prevents flooding.
 Extended Absence: When leaving the house for an extended period,
shutting off the main water supply can prevent potential leaks or water
damage.
 Flooding: During flooding, shutting off the main water supply can
prevent water from entering the home through pipes and causing
extensive damage.

Possible Reasons for Electricity Shut-offs

 Electrical Repairs: Before conducting electrical repairs or installations, shut off the power
supply at the breaker panel to avoid electric shock or damage to appliances.
 Storm Preparedness: During severe storms or electrical storms, shutting off the power supply
can prevent damage to electronics and appliances from power surges or lightning strikes.
 Floods: If floodwaters are present or expected to enter the home, shutting off the power supply
at the breaker panel can prevent electrical hazards and reduce the risk of electrical fires.

Possible Reasons for Gas Shut-offs

 Earthquake: In the event of an earthquake, gas lines can rupture, leading to gas leaks and the
risk of explosions or fires. Shutting off the gas supply at the main valve can prevent such
incidents.
 Gas Leak: If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak, immediately shut off the gas supply to prevent
a potential explosion or fire hazard.
 Appliance Maintenance: Shutting off the gas supply to individual appliances like stoves or
water heaters before maintenance or repairs ensures safety.

VIIc. Emergency utilities and early detection devices.

Emergency utilities and early detection devices include fire extinguishers, smoke detectors,
and carbon monoxide detectors. These are essential in responding quickly to hazards that come
unexpectedly. In the absence of these, the following steps are suggested to obtain it safely:
1. Assess the Need: Begin by determining the urgency of acquiring these safety
equipment. Evaluate the potential risks within the household and prioritize based on
the level of threat.
2. Procurement Plan: If the equipment is not available, the first step is to procure them.
Create a procurement plan which includes:

In the case that some or all items are missing, it is recommended to try to find suitable
alternatives or prioritize obtaining them as soon as possible. For example, if canned goods are
unavailable, opt for other non-perishable food items like sealed packs of nuts, crackers, or
dehydrated meals.

Check the contents of the survival box periodically to ensure everything is in good condition
and within expiration dates. Rotate perishable items and replace expired goods as necessary and
update important documents and contact information as needed. Lastly, educate all household
members on the contents of the survival box and how to use them effectively during emergencies.
Conduct drills or practice scenarios to ensure everyone knows what to do and where to find
essential items. By following these steps, households can create an effective emergency survival box
to help them cope during unexpected crises and contribute to community resilience.

VIIe. Evacuation plans.

It is important to take the quickest and safest way out of the establishment during crises.
Knowing the structure of what you are in, especially your home will help in mitigating risk. Below
are floor plans along with the routes used in evacuating to the evacuation center. It is encouraged to
have one at home. It is also recommended to prepare cellular phones for communication.

Evacuation Plan 1

Observed in Evacuation Plan 1 are the routes than can be taken when urgently leaving their
house. It is important to include secondary routes in order to ensure that you can exit when one
path is blocked. It should be noted that the fire extinguishers and smoke/carbon monoxide
detectors must be indicated. In this case, those are not present and the locations are only
hypothetical which will only come to reality once smoke detectors and the fire extinguishers are
obtained. At the moment, it is important to plan where to put it.

In Plan 2, there are no secondary routes since the

windows cannot be passed through unlike in Plan 1. The
locations of the fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide detectors,
and smoke detectors are also hypothetical and placed in areas
where it is most likely to be needed. Below would be the
continuation when it is needed to relocate to the nearest
evacuation center. If city escape is necessary, usage of vehicles
would be likely.

Before leaving for the evacuation center, it is important to assist the Page | 21
elderly, people with disability/-ies, and pets. It is also important to know the
structure of the facility. Below depicts the ground floor plan. It consists of a
hallway with classrooms in the center. Both sides of the hallway contain a
bathroom along with stairs to the following floor. Succeeding floors also
follow this format up to the 4th floor. Talimundok Elementary School and
other public schools use this floor plan. It should be noted that each room
may be used for recuperation of evacuees.

Sanitary materials are found in the bathrooms while general needs are found in each
classroom. It should be also be noted that in Talimundok Elementary School, there are other
buildings including the covered court, kindergarten, the ESF building, and the principal’s office and
the building beside it that can be used by evacuees. Fire extinguishers are found on each corner of
the rooms.

After proceeding to the evacuation center, remain calm and keep watch of the updates given
through the prepared radio. It is important to check if all members of your family are safe upon
reaching the evacuation center. The family must have a set communication method when an
emergency comes. For now, the usage of cellular phones is recommended. It must be kept at a
certain percentage to avoid loss of communication when an emergency emerges. Each device must
have a complete list of all numbers essential including emergency hotlines and family member’s
numbers.

When every member of your family has settled, it is recommended to help others in settling
in the facility. Keeping an eye on the latest news and remaining calm are essential in these
situations. Recommended actions given by the government must also be used to guide evacuees.

In cases where city escape is recommended, vehicular escape is recommended unless

road/highway traffic is heavy. In that case, public transportation or transportation provided by the
government is recommended. Keep mind of the reminders given by the government and follow
safety measures in driving during crises. It should also be kept in mind the destination of the
vehicle. It may be a separate evacuation center or a relative from a neighboring
city/province/region.
