1. Instruction: Imagine you are community leaders tasked with preparing your area for potential disasters. Begin by listing the top three hazards your community faces. Next, think strategies for each step of a Community Preparedness Plan (Risk Assessment, Resource Mapping, Communication Networks, Evacuation Planning, Education and Drills). Lastly, create a "Survival Kit Checklist" tailored to your community’s needs. APPLY IT!

2. Questions: What specific hazards does your community face, and how do they affect different groups within the area? What resources and gaps have you identified that are crucial for improving disaster preparedness? How will your communication system and evacuation plan ensure everyone, including vulnerable groups, is informed and safe during emergencies?

3. Community Preparedness Plan

4. Identify the necessary survival kits and materials to develop a holistic community preparedness plan. OBJECTIVE:

5. Community Preparedness Plan A community preparedness plan outlines strategies and measures to minimize risks and enhance readiness for disasters. It ensures efficient coordination during emergencies, reducing loss of life and property.

6. Steps in Developing a Plan Risk Assessment Resource Mapping Establish Communication Networks Evacuation Planning Education and Drills

7. 1. Risk Assessment Identify common hazards in the area (e.g., earthquakes, typhoons, floods). Evaluate community vulnerabilities (e.g., populations at risk, infrastructure weaknesses).

8. 2. Resource Mapping List available resources (e.g., evacuation centers, medical facilities, trained responders). Identify gaps that need addressing (e.g., lack of equipment or training).

9. 3. Establish Communication Networks Create a system for disseminating warnings and updates (e.g., text alerts, sirens). Designate community leaders for information relay.

10. 4. Evacuation Planning Identify and map evacuation routes and safe zones. Assign responsibilities for assisting vulnerable groups (elderly, disabled).

11. 5. Education and Drills Conduct community training sessions on disaster response (e.g., CPR, fire drills). Simulate emergency scenarios to assess readiness and improve the plan.

12. Survival Kits A survival kit is a collection of essential items and supplies prepared in advance to help individuals and families stay safe and self-sufficient during emergencies or disasters.

13. Importance of Survival Kits Provides essential supplies during emergencies when regular services are disrupted. Reduces panic by ensuring immediate needs are met.

14. Contents of a Basic Family Survival Kits Food and Water Non-perishable food items (enough for 3 days per person). Water (1 gallon per person per day). First Aid Supplies Bandages, antiseptics, pain relievers, and personal medications. Emergency contact card and health records. Tools and Equipment Flashlight with extra batteries. Multi-purpose knife or tool, duct tape, and whistle. Personal Items Extra clothing, sturdy shoes, and rain gear. Blankets and hygiene supplies (e.g., soap, toothbrush). Communication and Information Battery-powered or hand-crank radio. Map of the local area and emergency contact numbers

15. Direction: Design a basic community preparedness plan tailored to your local area. Begin by identifying common hazards and vulnerable populations. Map out available resources, communication strategies, evacuation routes, and training sessions to educate the community. Include a checklist of survival kit items for families. CREATE IT! NOTE: This is will serve as your project. Make this in a brochure-like preparedness plan and include all the components mentioned in the directions.

16. INSTRUCTION: Read carefully the questions and write your answer in the quiz part of your big notebook.
