DRRR Exposed Elements

The document discusses identifying elements that are exposed to hazards and reducing their exposure. It provides content and performance standards for learners to conduct hazard hunts and propose corrective actions. Learners are expected to determine elements exposed to specific hazards, and formulate strategies to reduce hazard exposure. Examples of hazards from a Christmas tree fire video are discussed, along with exposed elements and steps to prevent, mitigate and adapt to the fire hazard.

IDENTIFYING EXPOSED

ELEMENTS
Content Standard
• The learners demonstrate
understanding of various
elements that may be exposed to
hazards including physical, social,
economic, and environmental.
Performance Standard
• The learners shall be able to:
conduct hazard hunts of exposed
element and propose
corresponding corrective actions
of one’s preparedness.
Learning Competencies
• The learners are able to:
– determine the elements that are exposed to a
particular hazard (DRR11/12 Id-11)
Specific Learning Outcomes

• I will be able to:


– identify elements exposed and vulnerable to a
specific hazard; and
– formulate preventive, mitigative and adaptive
strategies for reducing hazard exposure of
exposed elements.
VIDEO PRESENTATION

• Christmas tree fires can turn devastating and deadly


within seconds(National Fire Protection Association, 2015)
• Fire Power (Original).mp4
• Christmas tree fires can turn devastating and deadly
within seconds.mp4
Steps to reduce exposure to hazards (UNISDR)-
3 CATEGORIES:
• I. PREVENTION – steps that can be taken to eliminate
hazard or exposure to the hazard.
- aimed at effectively eliminating either the hazard
itself, Or exposure and/or vulnerability of exposed
elements.
Steps to reduce exposure to hazards (UNISDR)-
3 CATEGORIES:
• II. MITIGATION – steps that can be taken to reduce the
hazard or exposure and/or vulnerability of the elements
exposed to the hazard.
-Mitigation and adaption reduce the hazard, or the
exposure and/or vulnerability of exposed elements.
Steps to reduce exposure to hazards (UNISDR)-
3 CATEGORIES:
• III. ADAPTATION – modifications in the normal or natural
behavior aimed at reducing the exposure and/or
vulnerability to the hazard.
– Adaptation generally pertains to a change in the
normal/natural human reaction of behavior to reduce the risk,
whereas mitigation generally involve external intervention
strategies aimed at reducing exposure and/or vulnerability.
After watching the video, answer the ff:
Give learners 15 minutes to answer the questions.

I. What specific hazards related to fire can you identify in video?


(Electrical fire, extreme heat, smoke and noxious gases, water damage)

II. What are the exposed elements that are exposed and vulnerable to
each of these hazards?

III. What specific steps can you think of for preventing a Christmas tree
fire.
IV. What specific steps can you think of for reducing the likelihood of a
Christmas tree fire

V. What changes to our normal/normal behavior can we adopt to prevent


or reduce the risk from fire hazard?
Possible answer
1. Electrical fire, extreme heat, smoke and
noxious gases, water damage
2. Any nearby furniture or objects that are
combustible. People (Physical well being,
psycho-social well being) House and
contents; loss of place to live; loss of
place; loss of economic and sentimental
value of lost or damaged possessions.
3.Prevention
• Regularly maintain Christmas lights.
Check for any exposed wires that may
cause a short circuit.Not using Christmas
lights on the Christmas tree.
• Use Christmas Tree and ornaments made
from non-combustible material.
Locating Christmas Tree away from
combustible furniture and objects.
Possible answer
4. Mitigation
• Buy only Christmas lights with ICC or PS
Certification. Use a timer on outlet to turn
Christmas lights off.

• Install a fire alarm. Regularly maintain fire


alarm so that it is working properly.
Place a fire extinguisher near the Christmas
tree
Possible answer
5. Adaptation
• Do not overload electrical socket.
Do not leave christmas lights on for an
extended period of time.
• Locate Christmas tree outside the house
(instead inside the house).
Show the following videos:

I. Earthquake – Kobe, Japan (superbogag, 2008)

II. Earthquake Preparation: Potential Falling Hazards (City of


Hillsboro OR, 2015)
Imagine that a similar earthquake occurs within the area where
your house is located.

Ask learners to answer the following questions:

I. What are the specific elements exposed to strong ground


shaking?

II. Enumerate at least 3 specific measures can be undertaken


to prevent or mitigate injury of people living within the house as
well as damage to contents of the house?

Application

• If you will be given a chance


to change something that
could help our country
about our safety, what
would it be?
Abstraction

•How important is
to be prepared?
