BACKGROUND
Mataasnakahoy Central School with school ID of 342203 is located at Brgy. Bayorbor
Mataasnakahoy, Batangas. It is the only public senior high school within the Municipality of
Mataasnakahoy. Its topography lies in low flat with high levels. Its soils are mainly derived from volcanic
materials which are either deposited by air reworked by water. Majority of the soil hear are taal fine sandy
loam followed by lipa loam, which are dominant types of soil found in Mataasnakahoy.

According to the website of climate-data, the climate here is tropical. Most of the months are
marked by significant rainfall. The short dry season has little impact. The temperature averages 25.3 C. In
a year, the average rainfall is 2,158 mm. The driest month is February, with 29 mm of rain. The greatest
amount of precipitation occurs in July, with an averages of 340 mm. May is the warmest month of the year
with the temperature that averages 26.7 C.

According to PHIVOLCS, the nearest active fault in Bayorbor, mataasnakahoy, batangas is the West
Valley Fault which is 21.2 km away from the school. Also, it is one of the municipalities that encircling Taal
Volcano, which is considered as the second most active volcano in the Philippines.

For the school year 2016-2017, the total number of student enrolled is 218 in the first semester
and 216 in the second semester. The school staffs are 15 including 10 teachers, 2 administrative officers, 1
administrative assistant, 1 caretaker and the school principal.

To guarantee the safety of everyone in the school premises at all times, the school disaster risk
Reduction Management Organization was formed.

II.OBJECTIVES
 This 2017 Contingency Plan covers 216 of school learners and 15 personnel. It focuses on typhoon
and earthquakes. It aims the following:

To secure the safety of the school learners and personnel during disasters;
To prepare learners and personnel for any disasters that may occur;
To disseminate information about the precautionary measures before, during, and after typhoon
and earthquake;
To reduce the risk of disasters caused by human error, deliberate destruction, and building or
equipment failures; and
To respond immediately to the damages that may bring by typhoon and earthquake.

III. HAZARDS

A. TYPHOON:

According to Observatory and DENR, Batangas is one of the areas in Northern Luzon highly at risk
to the occurrence of tropical depressions, tropical storms, typhoons and super typhoons. Also, it is at risk
projected rainfall change where rainfall decreases during dry season and increases during wet season.

According to Philippine flood hazard map of nababaha website, due to elevated topography of the
Municipality of Mataasnakahoy, it does not experience remarkable flood for 25 years despite of having
risk of the occurrence of typhoons.

The map shows areas in the Philippines that are susceptible to floods. It is based on shape file
versions of hazard maps produced by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau or MGB.

According to MGB lands geological Survey Division OIC Lilian Rollan, the different colors show
different levels of danger. Violet areas have high susceptibility to floods while light yellow areas have
moderate to low susceptibility to floods. These areas, however, are still vulnerable to dangerous debris
flow during typhoons.

Fortunately, Mataasnakahoy is not included to those areas susceptible to floods except those
barangay near Taal Lake.

B.EARTHQUAKE
 According to PHIVOLCS, the nearest active fault in Mataasnakahoy is the West Valley fault which is
21.2 km away from the school. Moreover, it is one the municipalities that encircling Taal Volcano, which is
considered as the second most active volcano in the Philippines, making the municipality vulnerable to
earthquake and volcanic eruption.

Last April 2017, four strong earthquakes, including one measuring magnitude 6, struck Batangas
province, sending shockwaves across nearby areas and municipalities, including Mataasnakahoy. The
Successive earthquakes damaged some buildings and causing widespread panic.

IV. DISASTERS, IMPACTS and VULNERABLE AREAS

Paaralang Sentral ng Mataasnakahoy is a newly constructed four-storey building located at

Paaralang Sentral ng Mataasnakahoy. Since this building is new and near the West Valley fault, it is
considered least vulnerable to earthquake especially if there is greater shaking for a short period of time;
however, it is vulnerable to slow shaking for a long-period of time. Other than that, the school is
surrounded by weak unstable column fence which is susceptible to further hazardous circumstances.

Furthermore, the school is least vulnerable to typhoon since it is located in an elevated land of
Mataasnakahoy. There is a building under construction in front of MCS building, if typhoon with strong
rain and wind occurs, accidents might happen. Construction materials such as roof, woods and other
debris might damage the building and harm the student and staff.

The identification of vulnerable division is based on the impacts of disasters to school buildings,
particularly classrooms. The impacts focus on the damaged on classrooms according to three categories:
totally damaged, partially major damaged, minor damaged. Furthermore, the damaged according to each
category corresponds to a cost for reconstruction and repair which is the basis for ranking the vulnerability
of the areas. Since the school is newly constructed, vulnerable areas for the year 2017 will be presented.
