CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR TYPHOON

As the head of this school, I want to assure our entire school

community that we are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being
of our dear pupils, faculty, and staff during typhoon season. This
contingency plan is a testament to our proactive approach to mitigating
the risks associated with typhoons and other natural disasters. This
contingency plan covers the De-it Elementary School, its school personnel,
learners and school facilities and equipment. This plan particularly focuses
on typhoon.

This plan outlines comprehensive measures to be taken before,

during and after a typhoon strikes. It encompasses a wide range of
scenarios, from school closures and evacuation procedures to
communication protocols and post-typhoon recovery efforts.

Our goal is to create a safe and supportive environment for

everyone during these challenging times. We encourage all members of
our school community to familiarize themselves with this plan and to
participate actively in its implementation. By working together, we can
minimize the potential impact of typhoons and ensure the continuity of
our educational mission.

We are confident that through our collective efforts and

preparedness, we will navigate these challenges successfully and emerge
stronger as a school community.

A. INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF BARANGAY DE-IT,MATUGUINAO, SAMAR

DE-IT is one of the 20 barangays

in the municipality of Matuguinao, in the
province of Samar. Its population as
determined by the 2020 Census was
260. This represented 3.53% of the total
population of Matuguinao. This barrio is
named after a local folk from this place.
This person always gives new names to
the citizens in the población, so the
leader of this settlement arranged the
barrio’s name according to the act done
by this person or in local tongue De-it. De-it is like a place where people are
baptized and/or named.

(Source:https://www.philatlas.com/visayas/r08/samar/MATUGUINAO/DE-IT.html)

GEOGRAPHY

De-it is situated at approximately

12.1293, 124.8763, in the island
of Samar. Elevation at
these coordinates is estimated at
25.3.4 meters or 83.0 feet.

TOPOGRAPHY

Samar province is hilly,

with mountain peaks ranging
from 200 to 800 meters (660 to
2,620 ft) high and narrow strips
of lowlands, which tend to lie in coastal peripheries or in the alluvial
plains and deltas accompanying large rivers. The largest lowlands are
located along the northern coast extending up to the valleys
of Catubig and Catarman rivers. Smaller lowlands in Samar are to be
found in the Calbayog area and on the deltas and small valleys of
Gandara and Ulot rivers. Slopes are generally steep and barren of trees
due to deforestation. Run-off waters after heavy rains can provoke
flooding in low-lying areas and the erosion of the mountains enlarges the
coastal plains of the province.
DE-IT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR TYPHOON

CLIMATE AND RAINFALL

The province falls under the 2nd and the 4th type of climate. Type
II is characterized by having no dry season with a very pronounced
maximum rain period from December to February. Minimum monthly
rainfall occurs during the period from March to May. Areas characterized
by this climate are generally along or very near the eastern coast, thus,
open to the northeast monsoon. Municipalities at the southeastern part
of the province experience this type of climate.

Type IV climate has no maximum rain and no dry season (rainfall

is more or less distributed throughout the year). This is an intermediate
between the first and second types of climate, although it resembles
the second type more closely, hence it has no dry season. Those areas
located at the northwestern part of the province have this type of
climate that includes the municipalities of Gandara, San Jorge,
Pagsanghan, Tarangnan, Sta. Margarita, Sto. Niño, Almagro, Tagapul-an,
Calbayog City and portions of Matuguinao and San Jose de Buan.

The average rainfall in the past five (5) years (2008-2012) was
302.2 millimeters. The highest rainfall was registered at 1,111 millimeters
in February, 2008 due to continued heavy rains during the northeast
monsoon. The lowest rainfall for the past five years was recorded in
February, 2010 (7.90 mm.) because of the occurrence of "El Niño" which
lasted for five months (February-June). Fair weather was noted in 2009
and 2011 except for the months of January and May at the latter year
which recorded quite high rainfall at 991.6 millimeters and 669.9 millimeters
respectively. See Table above and Figure below.

Annual rainfall in 2011 (5,227.2 mm.) was the highest in the past 5
years (2008- 2012 mm.) which is nearly doubled from 2010 and likewise
DE-IT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR TYPHOON
its average. High rainfall was noted in the months of January (991.6
mm.), March (823.8 mm.) and May (669.9 mm.).

Climate scientists have declared that climate change is upon us.

And this global phenomenon that is happening now has been observed
to cause extreme weather events- droughts and intense tropical
cyclones/typhoons- that impact adversely on man and environment.
What is more appalling is the increasing frequency and intensity of these
events that is foreseen to make disastrous impacts on the climate
sensitive sectors, the agriculture, health infrastructure, coastal water
and forestry resources.

The government is doing considerable efforts necessary to

prepare for these impacts- primary of which is by incorporating disaster
preparedness and adaptation in development planning and step up
investment in these areas.

Planning for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation

was initiated by the National Economic and Development Authority
(NEDA) with funding from the United Nations Development Programme
(UNDP) and Australian Agency for International Development (AUSAID)
and was implemented nationwide.

Initially, a disaster risk and vulnerability assessment study was

conducted to identify the multiple natural hazards that affect the
province and the effect of the occurrence of these hazards on the
vulnerable sectors.

The province's disaster risk and vulnerability assessment (DRVA):

The province is prone to three (3) hydrometeorologic hazards namely
flood and flashflood, rain induced landslides, and storm surge, and three
(3) geologic hazards or earthquake related hazards namely ground
shaking, liquefaction and earthquake-induced landslide.
DE-IT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR TYPHOON

HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL HAZARDS

FLOODS. A flood is defined as a "rise, generally brief, in the water

levels in a stream to a peak from which the water level receded at a
slower rate" (UNESCO/WMO, 1992). Some floods overflow the normal
confines of a stream or other body of water and cause flooding over
areas which are not normally submerged.

Floods are part of the natural hydrological cycle and are generally an
outcome of a complex interaction between natural random processes in
the form of precipitation with the basin or watershed characteristics
(World Meteorological Organization).

Floods in the province are classified into three (3) as follows: (1)
River flood – which is caused by the overflowing of a river when run-off
water exceeds the holding capacity of the channels or depressions and
covers adjacent to low-lying areas called the "floodplain". (2) Flash flood –
which is caused by a very short period of unusually heavy rainfall in a
mountainous or hilly area this usually occur in the Catbalogan area; and
(3) Coastal flood – which occurs when strong onshore winds push the
water inland and caused a rise in sea level and floods the low-lying coastal
areas.

At least 20 typhoons pass through or enter the Philippine Area of

Responsibility (PAR) every year and about three (3) of these directly hit
the province before moving away from the PAR to another country or
dissipate into the sea.

Typhoon that passed through, and others that may not directly hit
but the influence area are wide enough to affect the province, bringing
heavy and continuous rains would provoke flooding on deltas or
floodplains adjacent to the river systems provincewide. This is aggravated
by the lesser catchment capacity of the watershed areas, clogged
waterways, heavily silted rivers, and the restricted flow of floodwaters into
the sea.

Of the 951 barangays provincewide, 262 barangays are highly

susceptible to flooding because the settlements are situated adjacent to or
within the floodplains, 165 barangays are moderately susceptible and the
rest are least susceptible to flooding.

FLASHFLOODS. Catbalogan City, the capital of the province is

highly susceptible to flash flooding because of its proximity to a
mountainous or hilly section of the land that serves as the receiving
portion of a bigger volume of rainwater that is released into the long and
winding Antiao River that passes through the city proper with its
tributaries within the city, before it discharges into the Maqueda Bay/sea.
This is aggravated by poor drainage system of the city, improper disposal
DE-IT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR TYPHOON
of garbage/waste materials that cause clogging of waterways and high
tide occurrence during heavy and continuous downpour.

RAIN-INDUCED LANDSLIDE. The rainfall threshold that could

trigger landslide is 100 millimeters of rain per day. Steep slopes, thick soil
or fractured rocks or tension cracks are contributory factors. There are 229
barangays in the province that

are highly susceptible to rain-induced landslides because of their proximity

to the identified ground or environmental defects that is aggravated by
the lack of vegetative covers of these areas.

STORM SURGE. Storm surge refers to the onshore rush of water

into the coastal or low lying areas due to abnormal water level caused by
high wind and low pressure during typhoon occurrence. The islands and
coastal municipalities of the province are prone to storm surge.

From 2008-2011, the local disaster council have recorded about

50,000 families affected by hydrometeorologic hazards with 6 fatalities
and 5 injuries and around 95,000 of the province' population are
vulnerable to flooding. Damage to properties, infrastructures, agriculture
and the temporary stoppage of traffic along the Maharlika Highway that
cost the government millions of pesos have been reported.

Coastal erosion or shoreline retreat is currently affecting many

coastal areas in the Philippines. Natural factors such as wind and waves,
long shore currents and tectonic activities, as well as anthropogenic
factors such as dam construction, sand mining, coral reef destruction,
groundwater extraction, wetlands conversion, dredging of inlets for
navigation, and boat traffic have been identified as the factors
contributing to the hazard.

The impact of this coastal hazard is expected to become more

widespread due to climate change and sea level rise as well as with the
continuing urbanization and development of coastal communities in the
country. The hazard can inflict serious adverse impacts on society. Land,
properties, infrastructure, and natural resources, such as sandy beaches,
can be destroyed.

Landslide are described as downward movement of a slope and

materials under the force of gravity which includes a wide range of ground
movement, such as rock falls, deep failure of slopes, and shallow debris
flows. Landslides are influenced by human activity (mining and
construction of buildings, railroads and highways) and natural forces
(geology, precipitation, and topography).

What causes a landslide? Landslides occur when masses of rock,

earth or debris move down a slope. Gravity acting on an overly steep
slope is the primary cause of a landslide. They are activated by storm,
fires and by human modification to the land. New landslides occur as a
result of rainstorms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and various human
activities.
DE-IT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR TYPHOON
The measures of landslides are mudflows (or debris flows), which are
flows of rock, earth, and other debris saturated with water. They develop
when water rapidly accumulates in the ground, such as during heavy
rainfall, changing the earth into a flowing river of mud or "slurry". Slurry
can flow rapidly down slopes or through the channels and can strike with
little or no warning at avalanche speeds. Slurry can travel several miles
from its source, growing in size as it picks up trees, cars and other
materials along the way (US FEMA. Understanding Your Risk: Identifying
Hazard and Estimating losses).

Rainfall thresholds for landslides, based on the worldwide

comparisons and trends, reveal that about 100mm of rainfall per day
could trigger a landslide. Based on this observation, independent studies
by PHILVOLCS and their experts reveal that the

amount of rainfall that trigger landslides in Southern Leyte (2003) and in

the Northern Quezon and Aurora (2004) was more than three times the
worldwide threshold.

GEOLOGICAL HAZARDS

EARTHQUAKE. An earthquake is a weak to violent shaking of the

ground produced by the sudden movement of rock materials below the
earth's surface (L. Bautista, 2008). Earthquakes are caused either by the
sudden movement along faults and trenches (tectonic), or by the
movement of magma beneath volcanoes (volcanic). Faults are fractures in
the earth's surface where rock movement has taken place and
earthquakes produced. Earthquakes can trigger hazards that can cause
destruction to the lives and properties such as ground shaking, ground
rupture, earthquake induced landslides, and tsunamis.

Samar is prone to earthquake related hazards because of the

presence of three faults/lineaments within the provincial boundary. The
longest fault line called the Southern Samar Lineament 1 spanning about
48 kilometers is located at the southern portion of the province near
Marabut and Basey. The second longest fault is called the Southern Samar
Lineament 2 that runs 30.5 kilometers long is also located near Basey and
Marabut. And the third fault called the Central Samar Lineament and
about 29.5 kilometers long runs from Darahuway islands to Catbalogan
city and San Jorge.

Several strong earthquakes, ranging from intensity 6 to 7.8 in the

Richter scale, have been recorded to have struck near Samar from 1608 to
2012 but no death nor heavy damage to infrastructure and properties
have been reported.

Ground shaking is the main hazard created by seismic earth

movements. This term is used to describe the vibration of the ground
during an earthquake. During an earthquake seismic waves travel rapidly
away from the source and through the earth's crust. Upon reaching the
DE-IT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR TYPHOON
ground, they produce shaking that may last from seconds to minutes
(Kramer, 1996).

Earthquakes strength is measured in terms of either its magnitude

or intensity. Magnitude measures the total energy released at the
earthquake's point of origin (below the earth's surface) based on
information derived from a seismograph typically reported in Arabic
numerals (e.g., 6.3, 7.2). Intensity is the perceived strength of an
earthquake based on relative effects to people and structures of the
earth's surface. The Philippines uses the PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity
Scale (PEIS), which helps explain the intensity assigned to a specified
location based on observations made on the consequences.

Based on the six "worst case" scenarios simulated, Samar Province

has a total 1,142 barangays and sitios out of 951 barangays, sitios and
islands with a very high level of earthquake induced landslide
susceptibility. The highest number of barangay which are highly
susceptible to ground shaking are in Basey, Paranas, Calbiga, Gandara
Daram, Catbalogan and Calbayog.

Provincewide, a total of 1,142 barangays and sitios are ground

shaking prone. It is worth mentioning however, that out of the 26
municipalities/cities only the municipality of Tagapul-an is not highly
susceptible to ground shaking. About 98.19% of the total land area of the
province is exposed to ground shaking.

Within the province are three earthquake faults/lineaments. The

longest fault line is the Southern Lineament1 which spans about 48
kilometers, starting from the northwest portion of Giporlos and running
northwestward through the northeast of Balangiga, the western portion of
Llorente and Balangkayan, Eastern Samar to the northeastern tip of
Marabut and the western section of Basey. The second longest fault is the
Sothern Samar Lineament2 which is approximately 30.49 kilometers runs
from the southwestern tip of Marabut northwestward to the southwestern
part of Basey. The third fault is the Central Samar Lineament has an
estimated length of 29.43 kilometers starts from Darahuway Islands runs
along the central portion of Catbalogan City northwestward to the central
portion of San Jorge.

Liquefaction is a process where particles of loosely-consolidated and

water saturated deposits of sand are rearranged into a more compact
state. This results in the squeezing of water and sediments towards the
surface in the form of "sand fountain" and creating a condition resembling
"quicksand". In this phenomenon, the strength of the soil is reduced to a
point where it is unable to support structures Kramer, 1996).

Liquefaction commonly occurs in areas that are water saturated

(shallow water table), low lying and situated in typically loosed
(unconsolidated) foundation or in sandy or silty deposits. Typical examples
of these areas are river banks, abandoned rivers, flood plains, coastlines
and swamps.
DE-IT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR TYPHOON
The liquefaction encompasses several related phenomena, among
which are lateral spreads, subsidence and sand boils. Lateral spread
involves the horizontal displacement of surface blocks as a result of
liquefaction in a subsurface layer. Characterized by incremental
displacements during earthquake shaking, it can produce damage in the
abutments, foundations and superstructures of bridges, pipelines, bridge
piers and other structures with shallow foundations, especially those
located near river channels or canal banks on floodplains (Kramer, 1996).

The municipalities which are moderately susceptible to liquefaction

include all the towns' except Almagro, Matuguinao, Sto. Nino, Tagapul-an,
and Talalora. It is however worth mentioning that the municipality of
Tagapul-an is the only municipality in the province that is not susceptible
to any level of liquefaction. The high and moderately susceptible
liquefaction areas in the province are located near the river bank,
downstream and coastal area. About 40.16 percent (224,552.17 hectares)
of the total land area of the province is prone to liquefaction.

LIQUEFACTION

Liquefaction commonly occurs in areas that are water saturated

(shallow water table), low lying and situated in typically loosed
(unconsolidated) foundation or in sandy or silty deposits. Typical examples
of these areas are river banks, abandoned rivers, flood plains, coastlines
and swamps.

The liquefaction encompasses several related phenomena, among

which are lateral spreads, subsidence and sand boils. Lateral spread

displacements during earthquake shaking, it can produce damage in the
abutments, foundations and superstructures of bridges, pipelines, bridge
piers and other structures with shallow foundations, especially those
located near river channels or canal banks on floodplains (Kramer, 1996).

A total of about 224,550 hectares of the province is susceptible to

liquefaction. This covers 16 municipalities which are considered highly
susceptible and 5 municipalities which are considered moderately
susceptible.

EARTH-INDUCED LANDSLIDES (EIL)

Earthquake-induced landslide is the slope failure resulting from

severe ground shaking. This can be in the form of rapidly moving
detached masses and bits of pieces of solid and rock materials. In general,
steep slopes with weathered bedrock or soft rock units, hilly to
mountainous areas exposed to high precipitation rate, slope modified by
roads cuts, quarrying operations, river erosion and denuded forests are
areas highly prone to landslide occurrences (Punongbayan, 1998).
DE-IT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR TYPHOON
Almost all of the municipalities and cities in the province, except
Almagro, Tagapul-an and Sto. Nino, are highly susceptible to EIL.

Earthquake-induced landslide, which is an earthquake associated

hazard, is the slope failure resulting from severe ground shaking. This can
be in the form of rapidly moving detached masses and bits of pieces of
solid and rock materials. In general, steep slopes with weathered bedrock
or soft rock units, hilly to mountainous areas exposed to high precipitation
rate, slope modified by roads cuts, quarrying operations, river erosion and
denuded forests are areas highly prone to landslide occurrences
(Punongbayan, 1998).

BACKGROUND OF DE-IT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

De-it Elementary School (DES) was established by the year 1965

and has been serving the community for 59 years under the directive of
the Department of Education, Schools Division of Samar. DES started
operating as a complete elementary school beginning in the 2023-2024
school year. This has made possible with the effort of Erwin C. Desoyo, the
teacher in-charge up to present, and with the dynamic participation of
both the internal and external stakeholders. the school has been thriving
to give its most excellent service to its clients – the pupils, since then.

De-it ES is located at Barangay De-it, Municipality of Matuguinao,

Province of Samar. The barangay is positioned at approximately 12.1293,
124.8763, in the island of Samar. Elevation at these coordinates is
estimated at 25.3 meters or 83.0 feet above mean sea level. This
sparsely populated place when affected by typhoons due to its
geographical location which is near the river and a mountain on the other
side, the place is most likely prone to landslide and floods when heavy
typhoons happen. Since the school is located on the higher ground
(hillside), it is usually used as an evacuation center when flooding occurs.
Luckily for the residents, early aid efforts are easily transported to them
because it is just 3 kilometers away from the municipal proper.
DE-IT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

This barrio is named after a local folk from here. This person always
give new names to citizens in the población, so the leader of this
settlement arranged the barrio’s name in local tongue De-it. De-it is like a
place where people are baptized and named.

At present, DES is composed of 4 School Personnel and managed by

its School Head, Erwin C. Desoyo. Currently, De-it has a total population of 38
learners based on the enrollment reflected in the Learners Information
System (LIS) as of August 2024. Even though, it is just a small school with
a very little population, the school administration makes sure that all
programs and projects of the Department of Education are implemented well.

The table below shows the total enrollment per curricular offering.
This includes learners from the geographically isolated and disadvantaged
areas as well as culturally-diverse communities such as Indigenous People’s
Education (IPED), Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) and Special Education
(SPED).

B. HAZARD ANALYSIS
asbjsb
DE-IT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR TYPHOON
Based on the risk assessment conducted, the members of the Contingency
Planning Team have identified that the school is prone to 5 hazards namely soil
erosion, landslides, typhoon, fire and earthquake. Though the occurrence of
these known hazards has not caused any damage to the school properties, it has
been agreed that these must be included to avoid future damage both on
properties and lives.

Everytime the barangay experiences typhoon, the school is usually used

as an evacuation center especially when flooding is expected or arises. These are
the common threats that the school and the community have identified to
happen most of the time that may cause disruption of classes, property damage,
and community livelihoods. The school personnel then make sure that
classrooms are ready for use – all documents are secured – since the barangay
has no space to build an evacuation center. The school has experienced other
threats such as landslides, soil erosion and earthquake but has slight impact
while fire might take place in the future and almost certainly will but DES hopes
that it will not cause any harm.
The Philippines being at the heart of the Typhoon Belt of the Pacific Ocean – or
the Pacific Ring of Fire – makes BES prone to major storms. To stabilize the
damage that it may cause to the school community, drills and proper information
disseminations are done headed by the School DRRM Coordinator, under the
guidance of the school head.

Since the Philippine geographical location astride the Pacific

Typhoon Belt, cyclonic storms and floods have been its principal natural
hazard. The second type of cyclonic storm, the more intense wind
typhoon, generally strikes in summer and autumn—the months of
October, November and December are when this forms and hit the coasts
of southern Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao. The wind typhoons tend to
move on a west-north-westerly course. They bring hurricane-force winds
and extreme disaster in their deepening or mature stages to the Bikol
region, the Visayas—particularly Leyte and Samar—and the regions of
DE-IT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR TYPHOON
northern Mindanao. (Typhoons in the Philippines: A Historical Overview;
Professor James Warren, et.al.)
Brgy. De-it, being part of the Samar Island, makes De-it Elementary
School as almost certainly to experience typhoons during that kind of
period. Since typhoons can be detected, the school personnel can easily
prepare by listening to PAGASA Weather Bulletin and news updates, as
well as on the advisories coming from the Office of the Municipal Mayor
and Office of the Principal. People also rely on the updates given by the
BDRRM Officer through bandilyo as to whether there is a need to evacuate
or not based on the update given by the MDRRM Officer.
When classes are suspended, all school documents and equipment
are placed in a secure area and classrooms are arranged if needed as
evacuation center. The most triggering factor that can be seen here is
global warming and rainy season.
Aside from the bandilyo, hazard mapping is also conducted by the
pupils to identify areas and things which can be harmful not just in their
day-to-day stay in the school but also in times of typhoons. Accurate and
appropriate information are also given during the drill to keep the
stakeholders equipped when such hazard happens.

As seen in the table, De-it Elementary School must prepare for the worst
case scenarios since it may cause great damage both to individuals and the
school. The situation portrayed under the worst scenario is a landfall of a violent
tropical storm – super typhoon – which generated widespread destruction and
has triggered flash flooding that surged down mountain sides, uprooting trees
and swelling rivers causing the death of 5 individuals, has injured 4 people with 6
missing individuals. A total of 20 school populations are affected, composed of
19 pupils, 3 school teaching personnel and 1 utility worker.

The activation of the contingency plan shall be based on the
assessment made through the Pre-Disaster Risk Assessment (PDRA)
and with the recommendation made by the RDANA Teams. The
school head, on the other hand, shall assess the situation with the
other team leads based on the presented concrete findings. ICS will
then be activated and entrust authority to the incident commander.
The IC will direct the IMT and execute the tactical activities needed
according to the deliberate evaluation made by each cluster.
Conversely, the CP shall only be terminated if the condition
has been stabilized. This recommendation to deactivate the CP shall
be from the IC Team who is responsible in assessing the actual
situation on the ground. Upon acknowledgment of the report, the
School Head will announce the termination of the CP.
