Nature have it own fury and no force of man can stop the
devastating effect of it, to caution the effect of it we must study and make
necessary preventive action to reduce or even eliminate the risk that may
arise.
The importance of BDRRM for us is to be prepared of any disaster
that may occur and by doing so, we minimize the impact of disaster.
Ultimately to educate the people and be aware of any impending natural
calamities that may occur.

As per inventory of the BDRRM facilities, the
barangay can accommodate people that will be
displace/affected by disaster in our barangay hall.
The barangay is actively participating in an on-going
seminars and disaster response related seminars conducted
by the city. The barangay council are always aware of
emergency that may occur in the barangay. The barangay
tanod always visible within the barangay jurisdiction to
assist for any problem that may occurred.

Extinguisher, CCTV, Public Address System to promote
readiness in disaster that may occurred in barangay.

There where calamities before and during the 1st term of Punong
Barangay Alexander T. Tasarra. It was 2009, tropical storm ONDOY and
Typhoon Pedring, out down the country’s economic growth in the past years,
according to the Vice Chair of the climate change Commission ( CCC ).
There is need to address the vulnerability of natural resources to
climate change to ensure sustainable economic growth. We lost an average of
our GDP due to damage cause by extreme events ( Ondoy, Pedring, Quiel,
Sendong, etc. ) during the last 3 years. Government estimated damage from
Ondoy wich drowned most in Metro Manila 2009, hit a 11 billion.
During the typhoon of course the barangay officials especially the
Punong Barangay Alexander T. Tasarra, is always on foot patrol together
with all the barangay officials and barangay tanods.

Barangay 465, Zone 46 is located at east zone of Sampaloc area under
District IV legislative jurisdiction of Manila City. It is composed of 400 estimated
families with an estimated population of 2,000. Barangay 465 is bounded on the East
by Padre Noval St. (U.S.T), West by G. Tolentino (Brgy.467) , North by J. Barlin St.
(Brgy. 466) and South by I. Delos Reyes St. ( Brgy. 469)
Barangay 465 is proud to have within our territorial area of jurisdiction the
oldest university in Asia and the home of the Dominican priests, the University of
Santo Tomas and UST Parish Church respectively.
This small barangay community is proud to be the sanctuary of students
that are studying in different universities and of middle class families generating most
of their income from varied public and private employments, small scale business
enterprises, professional practices and skills.
Among the various projects offered to our constituents are declogging,
beautification, clean and green, solid waste management, sports activities and fitness
programs, medical, distribution of school supplies, disaster preparedness, livelihood
and poverty alleviation trainings, gift-giving, feeding programs, preservation of peace
and order, anti-drug campaign programs and more.

The barangay is the basic territorial and political unit of the Philippines.
Originally, the word barangay meant the boat used by the Malays who migrated
around 200 B.C from Borneo to the Phil. Achipelago. Later, it was to refer to any
of the native settlement headed by a monarchical chieftain called datu, Panginoo
or pangolo. When the Spaniards arrived in the 16th Century, theadopted the same
tribal org. and named the headman cabeza de barangay.
Nearly thought the spanish period, the barangays were mere administrative
units of the goverment, Existing towns, called pueblos, were composed of
poblaciones (town Center)barrios (rural settlements ) and visitas ( municipal
districts ). The town was where the church was located and only those places
regularly visited by the priest and having cabezas debarangay were considered
part of the pueblo. It was only in 1893 with the proclamation of the Maura Law
that brgys, each comprised of 100 to 150 families, became territorial wards of
towns.
In 1931, with the enactment of ACT No. 3861. A barrio Council was
composed of four rural councilors appointed in each barrio by municipal
councillors and headed by the barrio lieuterant.Barrios became quasi- municipal
corporations with the passage of Republic Act No. 2370 in1959.)

There are 400 families living in the
Barangay and divided into 220 households.
Therefore, it can be stated that in one house
structure there maybe 2 families living.

The geographical location of the Philippines has
rendered it susceptible to more than twenty (20) storms
and typhoons annually. These are expected to strike during
the wet season in the months of July to September. It can
be inferred that there is a probability that flooding can be
an inevitable and residents have to endure damage to
property, traffic congestion, work interruption, class
suspension, diseases, epidemics and other related cases.
It is well to note, however, that flooding within the barangay
generally subsides within a few hours of its occurrence.

The overwhelming majority of deaths immediately after a natural
disaster are directly associated with blunt trauma, crush-related injuries and burn
injuries. The risk of infectious disease outbreaks in the aftermath of natural
disasters has usually been overemphasized by health officials and the media,
leading to panic, confusion and sometimes to unnecessary public health activities.
The prolonged health impact of natural disasters on a community may
be the consequence of the collapse of health facilities and healthcare systems, the
disruption of surveillance and health programmes (immunization and vector
control programmes), the limitation or destruction of farming activities (scarcity of
food/food insecurity), or the interruption of ongoing treatments and use of
unprescribed medications.
The risk factors for increased infectious diseases transmission and
outbreaks are mainly associated with the after-effects of the disasters rather than to
the primary disaster itself or to the corpses of those killed. These after-effects
include displacement of populations (internally displaced persons and refugees),
environmental changes and increased vector breeding sites. Unplanned and
overcrowded shelters, poor water and sanitation conditions, poor nutritional status
or insufficient personal hygiene are often the case. Consequently, there are low
levels of immunity to vaccine-preventable diseases, or insufficient vaccination
coverage and limited access to health care services.

Infectious disease transmission or outbreaks may be seen days, weeks or even
months after the onset of the disaster. Three clinical phases of natural disasters summarize
the chronological public health effects on injured people and survivors:
Phase (1), the impact phase (lasting up to to 4 days), is usually the period when victims
are extricated and initial treatment of disaster-related injuries is provided.
Phase (2), the post-impact phase (4 days to 4 weeks), is the period when the first waves of
infectious diseases (air-borne, food-borne, and/or water-borne infections) might emerge.
Phase (3), the recovery phase (after 4 weeks), is the period when symptoms of victims
who have contracted infections with long incubation periods or those with latent-type
infections may become clinically apparent. During this period, infectious diseases that are
already endemic in the area, as well as newly imported ones among the affected
community, may grow into an epidemic.
It is common to see the international community, NGOs, volunteers, experts and
the media leaving a disaster-affected zone usually within three months, when in reality
basic sanitation facilities and access to basic hygiene may still be unavailable or worsen
due to the economic burden of the disasters.
Although it is not possible to predict with accuracy which diseases will occur
following certain types of disasters, diseases can be distinguished as either water-borne, air-
borne/droplet or vector-borne diseases, and contamination from wounded injuries.

We recommend re-establishing and improving the delivery of primary health
care. Medical supply should be provided, and training of healthcare workers and
medical personnel on appropriate case management should be conducted. Public health
responders should set up a rapid disease risk assessment within the first week of the
disaster in order to identify disaster impacts and health needs. Practically, prompt and
adequate prevention and control measures, and appropriate case management and
surveillance systems are essential for minimizing infectious disease burdens. The
prevention and control checklist provided in our paper shows the measures to be
undertaken in order to avoid infectious diseases following natural disasters.
Natural disasters and infectious disease outbreaks represent global
challenges towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. It is
important for the public, policymakers and health officials to understand the concept
that disaster does not transmit infectious diseases; that the primary cause of death in
the aftermath of a disaster is non-infectious; that dead bodies (from disasters) are not a
source of epidemic; and that infectious disease outbreaks result secondarily from
exacerbation of disease risk factors.
National surveillance systems and the establishment of continual practices
of protocol for health information management have to be strengthened. In disasters,
education on hygiene and hand washing, and provision of an adequate quantity of safe
water, sanitation facilities and appropriate shelter are very important for prevention of
infectious diseases. The assessment and response activities described above should be
properly coordinated.

In case of earthquake, evacuation plan should have
contingency to exercise all available space at UST OPEN FIELD
or any nearest area that is safe from falling debris and other
materials that may cause injuries.

In this time, we are not sure of how strong the disaster may
occur in our barangay. Everyone now is vulnerable in any disaster.
Typhoons and are became stronger unlike before and the Fire has
grown rapidly and spread primarily wooden houses. We are not sure
how safe we are right now.
As one of the Barangay in Sampaloc, we ensure to have
early warning system in areas that are prone in disaster.

The 5% Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund is
divided into 70% for Mitigation and 30% for Quick Respond Fund. The
70% mitigation fund could be used for training expenses and equipments
for disaster use. The 30% Quick Response Fund could be used for
calamity and disaster in case it will occur.

Nobody knows when the disaster may happen or occur in our barangay.
One of the many functions of the Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction Management
Council is to have a procurement plan. During the disaster, the Barangay Disaster
Risk Reduction Management members should know the number of beneficiaries
and also the number of supply for the needs of the victims.
The 30% quick response fund can be used if there is a state of calamity
that announce by the government officials. This will help the BDRRM members
to decide on what to buy and what are the needs of the victims.
