II. RATIONALE
Floods are natural disasters that have the potential to cause significant damage to both
human lives and infrastructure. They occur when an excessive amount of water accumulates
in an area, usually due to heavy rainfall, melting snow, or a combination of both. The town of
Kingking, located in Pantukan, Davao de Oro, Philippines, is particularly prone to flooding
due to its geographical characteristics and climate patterns.
The topography and hydrological features of Kingking play a significant role in the
occurrence of floods. The town is situated in a low-lying area, surrounded by mountains and
hills. These geographic features create a natural basin that collects water during heavy
rainfall events. The sloping terrain facilitates the rapid flow of water, leading to increased
chances of flash floods. Additionally, Kingking is located near the coast, which means it is
also vulnerable to storm surge flooding during typhoon events. Human activities, particularly
deforestation and improper land use practices, exacerbate the flooding problem in Kingking.
Forests act as natural buffers, absorbing and retaining rainfall, reducing the volume and
speed of water flow. However, rampant deforestation due to illegal logging, agriculture
expansion, and mining activities has significantly reduced the region's forest cover. As a
result, there is less vegetation to absorb water, leading to increased surface runoff and the
rapid onset of floods. The lack of proper drainage systems and infrastructure in Kingking
further contributes to flood vulnerability. The existing drainage networks may be insufficient
to handle the volume of water during intense rainfall events, leading to water accumulation
and subsequent flooding. In addition, the haphazard urban development and inadequate urban
planning have often resulted in the blocking or encroachment of natural waterways, impeding
the natural flow of water and exacerbating flood risks.

Pantukan National High School proudly upholds the title of being a place where character
and excellence thrive. The school highly values the importance of care and compassion
within our society. The Department of Education acknowledges and emphasizes the core
values embraced by the school community. As stated in Republic Act No. 8491, our national
motto is "MAKA-DIYOS, MAKA-TAO, MAKAKALIKASAN, AT MAKABANSA,"
which reflects our commitment to being God-centered, people-oriented, environmentally
conscious, and patriotic. Among these values, "Makakalikasan" stands out as it highlights
our commitment to environmental consciousness and stewardship. It entails being mindful of
our surroundings, respecting nature, and promoting sustainable practices. At Pantukan
National High School, we believe that fostering an environmentally aware mindset is crucial
for our students' holistic development. In line with the value of "Makakalikasan," we
encourage our students to be sensitive to environmental issues and understand the importance
of preserving our natural resources. Through various activities and programs, we aim to
instill a deep sense of responsibility towards the environment and promote actions that
contribute to its conservation.
It is imperative for the local government and relevant stakeholders to prioritize flood
management strategies such as improved land use planning, reforestation efforts, enhanced
drainage systems, early warning systems, and community awareness programs. By
understanding the underlying factors contributing to floods, proactive measures can be taken
to reduce the risks, mitigate the impacts, and enhance the resilience of Kingking and its
residents in the face of future flood events.
Our initiative also emphasizes the significance of community cooperation and resilience
in dealing with floods. We will encourage active participation from all members of the
community, fostering a sense of responsibility and collective action. By organizing
simulation exercises and drills, we aim to enhance preparedness levels, allowing individuals
to practice evacuation protocols and familiarize themselves with emergency response
procedures. Furthermore, we will collaborate with relevant authorities and organizations to
provide resources and support systems that aid in flood prevention and mitigation. This may
include distributing informative materials, implementing infrastructure improvements, and
establishing communication channels for prompt updates during flood events. By
implementing these flood awareness initiatives, we aspire to create a community that is well-
informed, prepared, and resilient in the face of flood-related challenges. Together, we can
work towards minimizing the impact of floods, safeguarding lives and property, and fostering
a culture of flood resilience within our community.
III. OBJECTIVES
IV. METHODOLOGY
The proposed initiative aims to cultivate the students' character and values, with a special
emphasis on nurturing the ethics of vigilance and preparedness. The comprehensive plan for
implementing flood awareness will be presented to Emmalinda B. Ranalan, the esteemed
principal of our school, seeking her valuable approval. The financial resources required to
execute this endeavor will be wholly sustained through generous sponsorships and donations.
In order to ensure an efficient and effective implementation of flood awareness activities,
meticulous planning and coordination will be undertaken. Working committees will be
established to oversee the systematic and organized execution of the flood awareness
program. These committees will be responsible for managing various aspects, including
lectures, skill development workshops, dissemination of essential information, livelihood
enhancement programs, provision of nourishment through a comprehensive feeding program,
as well as the distribution of essential provisions to those in need. The flood awareness
activities will be meticulously structured to take place during morning hours, maximizing the
impact and engagement of the participants. By conducting the initiatives at this time, we aim
to capture the attention and active involvement of the community, enabling them to absorb
the flood awareness messages more effectively. Through this innovative approach, we aspire
to create a network of individuals who are knowledgeable and vigilant about flood-related
risks. By infusing creativity and interactive methodologies into our flood awareness
activities, we endeavor to captivate the community's interest, fostering a genuine desire for
learning and preparedness. Together, with the support of our dedicated sponsors and
volunteers, we will make a resounding impact in promoting flood awareness, ensuring that
our community is well-equipped to face the challenges brought about by flooding incidents.
