ACTIVITY 2: EXPALIN YOUR ANSWER
1. Base from the bad experiences of people during landslide or sinkhole, do you
think people were ready when they encountered them?
Not everyone is ready, there are people who experience
landslides, others can be prepared by knowing the ways for
the upcoming landslide
2. What were the noticeable signs that there would be a landslide or a
sinkhole?
SIGNS OF IMPENDING LANDSLIDE OR SINKHOLE
Signs of impending landslides and sinkholes are observed on man-
made infrastructures, bodies of water and vegetation.
This list does not cover every possible indication of an impending
landslide, nor does anything on this list trigger a landslide
immediately. It contains warning signs that are listed to help people
recognize when it’s time to hire an expert to assess a slope’s
stability, or to make people more aware that something is wrong.
3. Did the PHIVOLCS give warning to the people about the possible
dangers of a landslide or sinkhole in your area?
Yes because the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and
Seismology (PHIVOLCS, Tagalog: [ˈfivolks]; Filipino: Surian
ng Pilipinas sa Bulkanolohiya at Sismolohiya) is a Philippine
national institution dedicated to provide information on the
activities of volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis, as well
as other specialized information.
4. Why do you think that these are signs of an impending landslide or
sinkhole?
New cracks or unusual bulges in the ground, street or
sidewalks. Soil moving away from foundations, or the tilting
or cracking of concrete floors and foundations. Sunken or
down-dropped road beds. Rapid increase in creek water
levels, possibly accompanied by increased soil content.

1. Retrogressive, piecemeal, or reactivate
2. Tension cracks
3. J-curved
4. An upstream obstruction like a landslide
5. Debris flow
What I Have Learned
WARNING SIGNS OF AN IMPENDING LANDSLIDE
There are different warning signs of an impending landslide which are
soil moving away from the foundation, spring, seeps or
saturated ground in areas that have not typically wet before,
and new cracks or unusual bulges. When these signs are present,
we can conclude that landslide may happen.
WARNING SIGNS OF AN IMPENDING SINKHOLE
There are different warning signs of an impending sinkhole, some signs of
sinkholes are cracks in the ground, sudden drainage of a pond, and
cracked tiles. When these signs are present we can conclude that
sinkholes may happen.
ACTIVITY 4:
A landslide is a slipping of a slope or cliff that causes large amounts of
rock and soil to collapse. A sinkhole is a collapse in a flatter area that
causes a hole to open up in the ground.
According to my observation, there's a low
probability of having landslides or sinkholes in our area. We live in a
low or flat surface and the roadways are low.

WHAT’S MORE: ACTIVITY 1: TELL ME!
1. Despite being colorful, it's a bit stressful to the eye
especially since my mind has negative and sad thoughts
about it
2. The flood (?) by the road that seems to have made the
houses at the lowest area sunken, the cluttered
surroundings, and the bad quality of shelters that should not
be even considered a home now.
3. Like I mentioned earlier; flood
4. Well, if I were an adult, I should have looked for a better
area not just by the "quality" of homes like mansions, but
more on the safe and convenient areas. The size of a house
should not matter, but the location is more important. For
instance the market, hospital, police station should be
somehow nearby (or at least reachable), the place should be
scientifically/economically proves to have a lower chance of
being affected by floods/landslides/tsunamis (if you're lucky
the community is in a high place), more guarded (low crime
rate) as well as an adequate population since too many
people can be a problem (also can be a risk of infection rate
like a new virus)
In short, to avoid, plan everything thoroughly before moving
in a home.
WHAT HAVE LEARNED
HYDROMETEREOGICAL HAZARD is a process or phenomenon of
atmospheric, hydrological 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.

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES
Warnings are disseminated through outdoor warning sirens,
local television and radio stations, cable television systems,
cell phone apps, and NOAA weather radio. Find out how all
these systems work and which are available to you. Public
Warning Sirens are used in many towns to warn people of
tornadoes.
To be effective, early warning systems need to actively
involve the communities at risk, facilitate public education
and awareness of risks, effectively disseminate messages
and warnings and ensure there is constant state of
preparedness.

ACTIVITY 1.2 MY FIRE SAFETY MEME
FIGURE 1. FIRE EXIT
ACTIVITY 1.3 FIRE-PRONE AREAS
Fire in the workplace can be very disastrous because of the losses it can cause. The
losses here can be regarded to the terms of property damage and loss of lives.
However, most people do not worry about material loss because they are easy to
replace; life is the most precious thing. In most situations, fire arises from avoidable
situations. Additionally, there are those that are caused by unavoidable
circumstances such as lightening. This paper will focus on safety measures that
organizations can adopt to prevent the occurrence of fire related incidences.
Recent fire incidences have revealed that most organizations do not have a fire
prevention and detection program. While the role of fighting fire is designated to
firefighters, organizations should do whatever it takes in their capacity to ensure fire
is avoided. This is because firefighters always come in when the situation is out of
control.
Fire detection and prevention programs provide guidelines to all the employees so
that they would be empowered to detect fire early enough to take the necessary
precautions (Diamantes, 2010). Besides, it helps the workforce understand how they
should carry themselves in the event of fire. For instance, the organization educates
the employees on how to use fire extinguishers and the emergency exits.
Employers should include regular orientation periods to ensure that the employees
are familiar with the structures that are within the organization’s close proximity. This
should include fire drills to evaluate an organization’s level of preparedness in
handling disasters. It is essential to use the drills to identify areas that need
improvement.
For instance, if the emergency exit is not clear, the management should clear all the
possible barriers. Additionally, the management should ensure the firefighting
equipment’s are in good working condition. Moreover, there should be appropriate
signage to direct people to the emergency exit, and give warnings concerning areas
that are prone to fire probably due to presence of combustible substances (Jones,
2010).
WHAT I HAVE LEARNED
Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermal chemical process of
combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products.
Fire has three elements or ingredients namely fuel, heat and oxgen. All the three
elements/ingredients of fire must come in a certain amount to cause fire and the
absence of at least one element can put out the fire. While not everything is known
about the combustion process, it is generally accepted that fire is a chemical
reaction. This reaction is dependent upon a material rapidly undergoing
combustion process- a process that involves loss of electrons, or uniting with
oxygen so rapidly that it produces heat and flame

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES
Write your interpretation of the song with emphasis on lines which are printed in
bold and italicized. Try to relate these lines as to how fire can be extinguished when
one element of the fire triangle is lost.
In the first part of the song, the singer describes how
he was in love, but his friends just told him he was blind
to the truth; "When your hearts on fire [a metaphor for
being in love] / you must realize / Smoke gets in your
eyes". The fire in the singer's heart is creating smoke
which is making him blind.
In the second part of the son g, his girlfriend has left
him, and this is making him cry. He says the "lovely
flame has died" -- and when you extinguish a candle
flame, it often gives off a lot of smoke. So now the
smoke is a result of the end of his love. When somebody
asks him why he is crying, he will say it's because of
the smoke in his eyes; they will think he's talking
literally about cigarette smoke, but really he's talking
metaphorically.
