    After reading lesson 4 & 5 - answer the following questions:

    1. In your study so far of DRRM as an NSTP student, why do you think it is


    important that we utilize the 4 Thematic Areas of DRRM in our pursuit of a
    culture of preparedness against disasters or emergencies?

    The four thematic areas of DRRM mentioned in the module are the disaster
    prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response, and rehabilitation and recovery. It
    is essential to utilize all the areas of DRRM to maintain the equilibrium of the four
    that would help lessen the fatality rate when a disaster strikes. The study and proper
    utilization of the four thematic areas would greatly help individuals to stay alive as

    m
    well as keep their families alive during a disaster. It is important as an NSTP student

    er as
    co
    that everyone be informed of the benefits of learning and studying the four areas. It is

    eH w
    not ideal for one to be prepared but not know how to respond during critical situation

    o.
    rs e
    nor is it ideal for one to lack any sort of preparation just because they believe they
    ou urc
    know how to respond to the situation. One must know how to properly mitigate, what
    preparations to do, how to handle and respond to a situation when a disaster arises,
    o

    and how to rehabilitate until the disaster stops and how to start the recovery from the
    aC s
    v i y re

    disaster. All these areas are necessary in order, to reduce damages to a minimum level.

    2. Which thematic area on DRRM do you think your strength lies? Is it in

    preparation? Response and Rescue? Or in Rehabilitation? Outline your answer

    Among the four thematic areas mentioned, I believe that my strength lies in
    Th

    preparation. This is because I have the tendency to be too cautious and anxious which
    means that not preparing would drive me to insanity. Moreover, I think the degree of
    damages lies with one’s ability to prepare for something. I always think about what
    could possibly happen in order, to be able to avoid being caught surprised by different
    situations. The reason why I believe that my strength lies in preparation is because I
    think that I would barely be any help when it comes to response and rescue as well as
    in rehabilitation. Disaster preparedness helps minimize damages to property, life, and

    livelihood. It would also help ensure that supplies would never run out in case extreme
    disaster takes place. Preparation aids greatly in the preservation of life during a
    disaster.

    3. What are some of the safety practices against fires, flood, and earthquake in
    your home and community that you can observe?

    In our community, various rules were implemented in order, to ensure safety


    from different disasters like fire, flood, and earthquake. Various establishments are
    required to have fire extinguisher in place in case of fire to prevent it from spreading
    as to avoid bigger damages. Big establishments should also pass different inspection

    m
    to be given a permit before being allowed to operate as to avoid compromising the

    er as
    co
    safety of the people. There are also various evacuation plans in the community to

    eH w
    guide people where to go when there is intense flooding or disaster. There are also

    o.
    rs e
    marked location strategically placed in the area that shows the dangerous zone and the
    ou urc
    safe zone. When it comes to earthquake the barangay conduct drills to spread
    awareness on what to do during an earthquake. The barangay also conducts seminars
    o

    and symposium about disaster risk reduction management for the benefit of the people

    living in the community.
