The document identifies three main hazards in the community - electrical, earthquake, and falling - and provides mitigation and prevention measures for each. For electrical hazards, it recommends caution signs, education on safety measures, practicing conservation, and careful handling of materials. For earthquakes, it suggests strengthening weak house foundations. For falling hazards, visible caution signs and fences are proposed to prevent accidental falls at heights.

Activity on Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction
A. Identify at least three (3) hazards in your community and list possible mitigation and prevention measures.
Hazards in the Community Mitigation and Prevention Measures
Providing caution signs near the damaged electrical material to alert people of the unsafe condition of the said electrical property will help them know what to do in case of inevitable contact with the area. Educate people with the necessary information regarding safety measures in handling damaged electrical materials, and advise them to share their takeaways with their friends or families, which is a way of saving lives. This Electrical Hazards (e.g. electrical shocks, measure is also a way for people to overloaded circuits, damages wirings, protect their loved ones from related exposed electrical parts, etc.) accidents, especially those with little children.
Practice the conservation of
electricity. Not only does conserving electricity help our electrical bills decrease, but also helps avoid the overheating of appliances that may cause a fire.
Careful handling of electrical
materials. People should be careful when handling electrical materials, like the wiring of appliances or circuits. Check for exposed or grounded electrical parts before holding or touching them with bare hands, or use safety gloves at least.
Strengthen the foundation of houses,
especially those with weak concrete Earthquake (In our village, most houses are feature. This may be done through vulnerable to ground shaking, and are likely renovation, and replacing weak to collapse when a strong earthquake hits structural materials with more durable the area.) ones. Provide an efficient action plan for safety and evacuation. Falling (In our community, there are places Furnishing a visible caution sign with heights, especially ravines and cliffs, before the falling point. There are wherein various falling accidents are likely to instances when people tend to forget happen.) that there is a cliff near their way, and only realize it when they are already on the edge of the said cliff, which is highly dangerous. Therefore, to avoid this kind of accident, signage should be visibly posted adjacent to the edge to alert people. Putting up fences on the edge to prevent people from accidentally falling even if they trips or unknowingly step on the edge.
