DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
MANAGEMENT EFFORTS
W H A T I S B A G O N G T A N Y A G D O I N G ?
Because Bagong Tanyag lies on the West Valley Fault, their DRRM
efforts are focused on earthquakes. Nonetheless, they also
prepare for common hazards such as fires, typhoons, and
flooding.
Prevention and Mitigation
Hazard and risk reports are regularly submitted
A housing resettlement project for vulnerable communities in
Taguig (Project BRACE) is being performed, with the goal of
providing its residents safer homes
Preparedness
As required by Mayor Cayetano, all Taguig barangays must
prepare a comprehensive disaster management plan
Drills, simulations, trainings, and seminars on disaster
response are regularly performed
Proper equipment and utilities for disaster mitigation and
response are being invested in
A disaster visibility information system that will provide realtime
updates on all 28 barangays in the city called the Taguig
Weather Monitoring System (TWMS) will be implemented
Response

Always remember to listen to emergency alerts or alarms and
follow orders given to you in all disasters, if there are any.
For typhoons and floods
Stay updated and listen to broadcasts on the radio for status
updates
Stay inside your home unless advised to vacate by authorities
If you are staying inside:
Avoid windows and glass doors
Close all indoor doors and secure external doors
Turn off electricity and store electronics on high surfaces
if flood levels are rising
Move to higher ground and stay where you are
If you are vacating:
Equip yourself with protective gear such as raincoats and
boots
Follow routes specified by officials. Do not take shortcuts.
Do not cross in flooded areas, as you may get swept away
by rushing current or infected by water-borne diseases
Stay off bridges above fast-moving waters
If you are driving and get caught in fast-rising waters, get
out of the car immediately

For fires
If possible, try to put out the fire
Make sure to act fast
Use a fire extinguisher if available. If the fire does not go
out immediately, drop the extinguisher and evacuate.
If it is a stove fire, turn off the burner and cover the pan
with its lid until the pan is completely cool
If you have no means of extinguishing the fire, contact the
fire department and get out
Evacuate as quickly as possible to minimize exposure to the
smoke
Be sure to feel closed doors for heat to ensure that there
is no fire on the other side
If there is smoke on your current escape route, switch to
the second route
If you must exit through the smoke, stay low and crawl out
If you are surrounded by the fire and cannot get out safely,
stay in the room with the door closed

For earthquakes
If indoors:
Drop to the ground on your hands and knees, cover your
head and neck, and hold onto your shelter for sturdy
support
Face away from windows and glass doors
Stay away from glass and bricks
Protect your head and body from debris
Stay in place until shaking stops
If outdoors on foot:
Go toward open space, away from trees, buildings, walls,
and power lines
If no open space is available, head towards the nearest
shelter and take refuge there
Crouch low or lie down for balance
If outdoors and driving:
Stop your car and wait until shaking stops
Do not stop underneath overpasses and bridges
Stay below window level in your vehicle
Turn off the engine and turn on the radio for emergency
instructions and broadcasts
Stay in the vehicle if power lines have fallen on it and wait
for help
If you have to leave your vehicle, move to an open area
quickly

After
Stay posted on broadcasts for instructions from officials
Check for injuries
If minor, perform first aid
If serious, seek medical attention. Do not move the victim
unless needed.
If separated from family, head to the meeting place if it is
safe. If you do not have a meeting place, head to the nearest
evacuation center
For floods and fires: Public schools and covered courts (as
advised in Taguig)
For earthquakes: Open spaces
Check for other hazards in the area and control them
If you have evacuated, return only if officials ensure that it is
safe to do so. Make sure your home is completely risk and
damage free before returning.

them immediately
