Prioritizing measures that could limit the need to relocate people far from their homes and their livelihoods.

MITIGATION STRATEGIES:

Firmly securing large items of furniture (such as bookcases and large cabinets), TV and computer screens.

TRUE OR FALSE:

El Niño is a climate pattern that describes the cooling of surface ocean waters along the tropical west coast of South America.

TRUE OR FALSE:

Hydro-meteorological hazard is a phenomenon of atmospheric, geological, or oceanographic nature that may cause loss of life, injury, or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage.

TRUE OR FALSE:

Typhoon is an extremely large and destructive storm that occurs especially in the region of the Philippines or the China Sea.

TRUE OR FALSE:

Some signs of Flashflood/Flood are continuous storms, typhoons, and rain, increased ocean swell, rapidly rising water, muddy water, and water carries debris

TRUE OR FALSE:

El Niño is a flow of unusually warm water along the western coast of South America that causes many changes in weather in other.

TRUE OR FALSE:

Signs of storm surge are cloud formations, darkening sky, lightning wind, and wind.

TRUE OR FALSE:

The Philippines ranks among the world’s most disaster-prone countries.

TRUE OR FALSE:

Different types of hydrometeorological hazard are Typhoon, Landslide, thunderstorm, storm surge, El Niño, and La Niña.

TRUE OR FALSE:

Some impending signs of El Niño are hot weather, high pressure, change in temperature and gradually drying of land.

A hazard map is a map that highlights areas that are affected by or are vulnerable to a particular hazard. Hazard maps help prevent serious damage and deaths.

Type II means two pronounced seasons, dry from November to April and wet during the rest of the year. Maximum rain period is from June to September.

Type III means no very pronounced maximum rain period with a dry season lasting only from one to three months, either during the period from December to February or from March to May. This type resembles types I since it has a short dry season.

Orange Warning means flooding is threatening. Red Warning means there nothing to worry.

El Niño is a significant decrease in ocean temperature over the eastern and

central Pacific Ocean. Drought/Dry spell assessment is also regularly published to report usual climate conditions in different parts of the Philippines.

Before the storm surge, stay away from beaches / shore during tropical cyclone passage. After the storm surge, establish evacuation plans and procedures.

Uneven ground, open drainage and/or sharp debris under floodwater can be potentially harmful. If caught in a storm surge, you are advised to hold on large structures like big trees.

During El Nino, stay outdoors whenever possible. Seek medical attention if you or another person experiences symptoms of heat stress.

Unplug all electric and electronic devices. Listen continuously to official updates on weather and flooding

If treat of lightning is eminent, turn on and unplug all electrical and electronic

devices. If treat of lightning is eminent, keep using phones (mobile, landline) until the storm passes over.

Type I means no dry season with a very pronounced maximum rain period from December to February. There is not a single dry month. Minimum monthly rainfall occurs during the period from March to May. Type IV means rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year. This type resembles type II since it has no dry season.
