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

know what to do in case of inevitable
contact with the area.
 Educate people with the necessary
information regarding safety measures

materials. People should be careful
when handling electrical materials, like
the wiring of appliances or circuits.

electrical parts before holding or
touching them with bare hands, or use
safety gloves at least.

only realize it when they are already on
the edge of the said cliff, which is highly

people.
 Putting up fences on the edge to
prevent people from accidentally falling
even if they trips or unknowingly step on
the edge.
