Grade Level: Semester:
Subject: DISASTER READINESS AND RISK REDUCTION (DRRM) GRADE 12 SECOND

Name: Date: Section:

Direction: Write T if the statement is correct; and F if it is wrong. Write the answer on the space
provided before the number.

__________1. Technological or manmade hazards are events that are caused by humans and
occur in or close to human settlements. This can include environmental degradation, pollution
and accidents such as complex emergencies/armed conflicts. T
__________2. Natural Hazards are naturally occurring physical phenomena caused either by
rapid or slow onset events which can be: geophysical (earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, and
volcanic activity). T
__________3. To avoid risks that can be caused by surface rupture, we should avoid building
structures above or near the fault lines. PAG-ASA recommends a five meter buffer zone from
the edge of the deformation zone for building structures. F
__________4. Strong earthquake and ground shaking greatly increase the possibility of
liquefaction in areas susceptible to ground failure. F
__________5. Tsunamis are also usually referred to as tidal wave, but it has little or nothing to
do with tides on the ocean. The height of tsunamis can be tens of feet high when they hit the
shore and can do massive damages in the coastline. T
__________6. A Tsunami is a Japanese word meaning “harbor waves”. Tsunami is commonly
generated by distances associated with earthquakes occurring below or near the ocean floor.T
__________7. If the ground shakes under your feet in a coastal region, a tsunami may have
been caused by strong undersea earthquake. However, you may not feel an earthquake if the
event is far away.T
__________8. Impacts of hazards vary in different aspects such as: physical, psychological, socio-
cultural, economic, environment and biological. T
__________9. There are many different ways of classifying hazards. One is to consider the extent
to which hazards are economic impact. F
__________10. Biologist explain that an earthquake is a type of hazard that depends on the
strength of seismic activity, along with such factors as local topographic and built features,
subsurface geology and ground water. F
__________11. It is important to participate in government-initiated earthquake drills and
evacuation drills before an earthquake strikes. T
__________12. Awareness, emergency planning and preparedness are vital to be safe when an
earthquake strikes. T
__________13. Potential hazards that an earthquake may bring are the following: ground shaking,
ground rapture, liquefaction, ground subsidence, tsunami and landslide. T
__________14. Destructive tsunamis are generated with life threatening wave heights. (A destructive
tsunami is expected to arrive to Philippines coastlines with wave heights of greater than one (1)
kilometer above the expected ocean tides.) F
__________15. Tsunami is the most devastating hazard resulting from an earthquake. There are
two notable signs of an impending tsunami: animal behavior and drawback. T

Direction: Match these words with following definitions. One has been done for you.

1. Earthquake Is the perceptible shaking of the surface of the earth, resulting

from the sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that create seismic
waves.
2. Hazard Map Is a map that highlights areas that are affected by or are
vulnerable to a particular hazard.
3. Ring of Fire Belt like region, roughly surrounding the pacific ocean,
characterized by frequent volcanic and earthquake activity caused by the
colliding of moving crustal plates.

4. Evacuation Area Designated place where people have been told to wait after
Evacuating a building in the event of fire and other emergency.

5. Receptors People, properties, infrastructure or environment that may be

harmed as a result of interaction of hazard.

6. Natural Hazards Naturally occurring physical phenomena caused either by

rapid or slow onset events which can be geophysical (earthquakes,
landslides, tsunamis, and volcanic activity) hydrological
(avalanches, floods

7. Physical Impact Hazards may cause loss of vital infrastructure and facilities,
widespread loss of housing, loss of electrical and power stations
and communication lines and key transport infrastructure such as
access roads, bridges and ports.

8. Tsunami A Japanese word meaning “harbor waves”. It is commonly

generated by distances associated with earthquakes occurring
below or near the ocean floor. It occurs when earthquake is
shallow-seated and strong enough to displace parts of the seabed
and disturb the mass of water over it.

9. Ground rupture Happens on areaswhere the fault zone moves. Structures

built adjacent to the fault will survive but those built across these
zones will collapse. Any structures built across the fault is at risk of
being torn apart as the two sides of the fault slip past each other.

10. Liquefaction This occurs when sand or soil and groundwater mixed during
an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.5 and higher which makes the
ground very soft and exhibits properties similar to that of a
quicksand.

11. Aftershock A smaller earthquake that follows a larger earthquake, in the same
area of the main shock, caused as the displaced crust adjust to the
effects of the main shock.

12. Fault/Fault lines Is planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock, across which there
has been significant displacement as a result of rock mass movement.

13. Economic Impact It involves livelihood and economic activities which includes jobs,
equipment, production, crops, livestock, agriculture, sales, etc.

14. Environment Impact This element gives emphasis to the natural environment itself.
Hazards may cause a lot of harm to the environment such as loss
of forest, contamination of water sources, loss of freshwater
environments, pollution, environmental degradation and global
warming.

15. Richter Scale Instrument that makes a record seismic waves caused by an Earthquake,
explosion or other earth-shaking phenomenon.
16. Flood The inundation of land areas which are not normally covered by water.

Directions: Read the following situations and give your answers on how you the handle those
situations.

Scenario 1: Outside the school building

The final bell just rang. You and your friends are walking toward the softball field to check
out the game that’s going on. It’s the final game of the season and many people are in the stands.
As you walk through the trees to the open field, the ground suddenly starts to shake and roll.

1. How would you react in this scenario to minimize harm to yourself? (Be specific. Where would
you go? What would you do?)

Scenario 2: In class
You’re in science lab. Your teacher is reviewing the test he just gave back to the class.
You turn to a friend to see what answer she gave to number 7, when all of a sudden you hear a
deafening roar and feel the floor start to move.
