I. BACKGROUND
 This Plan is prepared for a systematic approach and organizational preparedness to meet major
goals and targets successfully. The policy of Emergency Services to respond to hazards/disasters like
earthquake may be summarized in one simple mission statement - “We serve to save and the
department is committed to providing an effective and efficient response in all emergency situations
which threatens life, property and public safety.”
Punta National High School is located at the south part of Dipolog City, Zamboanga del Norte. It
is surrounded by rice fields with a single road for entry and exit from the national highway to the school
and vice versa. The School caters Grade 7 to Grade 12 levels of Junior high and Senior high with a
population of not less than 1,000 students. Punta National High School has an area of 10,000 sqm.
Currently, the school is headed by Mr. Noel G. Solis, Secondary School Principal I and has 60
teachers and less than 10 non-teaching personnel.
The School has its own SDRRM Team headed by Mr. Solis as the Incident Commander and the
SDRRM team is fully active.

This 2018 Contingency Plan covers PUNTA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL. It focuses on Earthquake.

1. To mitigate impact of earthquake disaster through student-teacher awareness and preparedness.

III. HAZARDS
IV. DISASTERS, IMPACTS AND VULNERABLE DIVISIONS

Based on the hazard map, Punta National high School is located in Zamboanga Peninsula which
is bounded by three (3) major earthquake generators: Cotabato Trench, Sulu Trench and Mindanao
Fault System.
According to Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) Sulu Trench may
produce a 7.5 - 8.0 magnitude earthquake with an intensity of 8.0 - 8.5 ground shaking. Because of this,
Punta National High School is considered disaster risk area and should be informed and trained about
earthquake precautionary and safety measures.
In view of this risk, teachers and students are encouraged to attend trainings and seminars with
regards to disasters.

V. CAPACITIES AND VULNERABILITIES

Punta National High School is vulnerable due to its location. And we will not just think about an
ordinary earthquake but anticipate a more devastating effect of it. Table 2 shows us the capacity of the
school to cope or face such hazard.

 “God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
though the earth give away and
the mountains fall into the heart of
the sea, though its waters roar and
foam and the mountains quake
with their surging.”

Psalm 46:1-3
