1. PRE-DISASTER PHASE
The pre-disaster phase is the prevention aspect of the plan. This is also considered as the education/information
phase. The Barangay Government must see to it that all residents are aware of the different types of disasters, its
characteristics, warning signals or precautionary measures and its effects to lives and properties. The basic
concept underlying the pre-disaster phase is self-protection. It is the LGUs responsibility to make certain that
the community knows how to react in an emergency. This is accomplished through organizing and training
small groups of residents and tapping existing government and private institution for the performance of
specialized tasks.

Activities undertaken:
1. IEC on the types of disasters, its corresponding signals and warnings, mitigating circumstances,
precautionary measures and is effects. Contact persons and numbers are also disseminated during assemblies
and meetings.
2. Trainings of selected community members on specified tasks during disaster and emergencies

2. DISASTER PHASE
In an event of any disaster or emergency tapping the organized and trained individuals for specially assigned
tasks is the best course of action, this is the rescue, relief and medical service aspect of the plan. For each type
of disaster or emergency or for any area of concern, there is an organized team specially trained on each field of
expertise. There are 54 Zones of the Barangay. Each zone is provided with a communication facility. Zone
commanders, Zone Tanod Chief and members of the rescue team are provided with such. These key
communicators are strictly instructed to be on monitor 24 hours a day for informations and instructions which
they would disseminate to the workforce for action. In each area of concern, there is an identified
communication center to avoid overlapping of stations and commands, because it is a fact that failure or delay
of action is often caused by unclear and unspecific informations and instructions. These concerns are classified
as follows:

concerns.
Evacuation is also part of the rescue operations. The 70 zones of Carmen automatically become the
responsibility of their respective evacuation commander. The zone commander to which the disaster occurs
automatically taps the transport service leader and the security service team to facilitate the evacuation of

victims to West City Central School or to the Macanhan Covered Court or Zone 8, 10 Covered Court who
would then turn over the victims to the relief service leader.
Disaster relief Services are to be performed with the supervision of the Disaster Relief Service leader. Victims
or evacuees are to be properly accounted by them. They are responsible for the receipt of supplies like canned
food, clothing, medicines, household utensils and equipment needed for operation, material for temporary
shelter and others and distribute the same to the disaster victims. It is also their responsibility to inform the
BDRRMC through the Barangay Chairman of the status of disaster relief activities and they are also tasked to
coordinate with other relief agencies.
Medical operations:
This is performed by trained personnel/medical and first aid services in an emergency. A medical service leader
supervises this work. Aside from the medical team, the members of the rescue team also performs first aid
operations. The duties of the medical leader includes the following:
1. Supervise the selection of first aid or medical treatment areas in shelters and elsewhere.
2. Directs first aid and/or medical self-help operations and controlling access to medical supplies as required to
assure the proper use, conservation and availability for emergency use.

leader to facilitate for he transport of the patient to the nearest hospital for proper medical attention.
3. POST-DISASTER PHASE
This is the part of the plan that would cater to the needs of the victims after the disaster. This is the rehabilitation
phase. The BDRRC will be on the look out for the provision of emergency shelter to the victims. The
evacuation centers provides immediate answer to this. In cases of total destruction of abode, the BDRRC
