WHAT I
KNOW
WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE DANGERS THAT CAN BE
ENCOUNTERED HERE? IS IT LIFE THREATENING?
The man is supposed to jump with a parachute, but it could be dangerous
because he is doing it while the volcano is erupting. Therefore, it could be

WHAT’S
hazardous to him, as he could die due to the large amount of smoke he

IN
would inhale. It can also be detrimental to the health of the pilot and
residents who are living close to the volcano.

WHAT DO YOU THINK SHOULD BE A BETTER SITUATION FOR THE

PERSON JUMPING FROM THE PLANE OR SHOULD WE SAY THE

NEW 2.1
WHAT’S
PARACHUTIST?

It would be better if he jumped to a safer place where there are no hints

of possible dangers ahead, and also considered the landing spot for a
safe and smooth landing.

NEW 2.2
WHAT’S
HOW DO FEEL IF YOU ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION?
I would be scared for my life, and I wouldn’t continue with the
plan of jumping. Instead, I would find another time and place to
do it and ensure it is safe and well-planned.

WHAT I
KNOW
WHAT OBJECTS DO YOU SEE IN THE ILLUSTRATION ABOVE?
HOW MANY OBJECTS ARE THERE ON THE TABLE?

On the table, there are three objects: a wine bottle, a

WHAT’S
mug, and a plastic cup.

IN
IF YOU ARE GOING TO SHAKE THE TABLE, WHICH
OBJECT WOULD BE AFFECTED THE MOST BY THE
SHAKING? WHY?
The two objects are the mug and the wine glass.

NEW 2.1
WHAT’S
Although the plastic cup is closest to the edge of the
table and would be the first to fall, it is safe. However,
the other two objects are fragile and are more likely to
shatter into pieces if they fall, creating another hazard.

NEW 2.2
BASED ON THE PICTURE WHAT OBJECT/S CAN BE

WHAT’S
CONSIDERED HAZARD?
The mug and the wine bottle pose a risk because if they fall and break,
the shattered pieces may endanger people, especially if not cleaned up
immediately.

human-made hazards.

WHAT’S
CAN THE EFFECTS OF HAZARDS BE AVOIDED? HOW?
The effects can be prevented by observing the place and
identifying potential hazards. They can also be prevented by

NEW 2.2
carefully eliminating possible hazards that could harm people,

WHAT’S
and wearing protective clothing or gloves while doing so.
However, in the case of natural hazards, these are the type of
hazards that cannot be prevented or predicted by people.

NEW 2.3
WHAT’S
Hazard is a perilous situation or event that can negatively affect
people, the environment, and the economy. It becomes a hazard
when certain situation or events have the potential to harm

NEW 2.4
WHAT’S
people. The different types of hazards are: natural hazards,
human-made hazards, and quasi-natural hazards. We can
minimize the effects of hazards through identifying potential

WHAT I S
hazards whether you are inside the home or not. Always be

prepared, as some hazards are unexpected, such as natural
disasters. Avoid going to hazard-prone areas such as

construction sites and factories. Lastly, when there are

precautionary symbols, make sure to comply with them for your
personal safety and the safety of others.

prone to hazard country in the world, having more than 20 tropical

all over the country. Let’s say that you represent your school as a disaster
advocate, what are the things that you can contribute to possibly minimize
the risks of disaster in your home and school?

To help the school, I will be conducting a program where every Friday there
will be an earthquake drill. We won't just stay on the school grounds;
instead, we'll go to evacuation areas that are close to the school and teach
students what are they gonna do when a disaster occurs. Additionally, I'm
going to conduct a tree planting activity in our barangay to promote clean
air and help reduce the effects of flooding.
