 PREFACE

The municipality of Bulan was usually affected by tropical storms and typhoons that pass through the
Bicol Region. These events triggers landslides, flash floods, mudslides, widespread flooding that
together with high winds cause destruction to houses, buildings, roads, infrastructures, agriculture
crops. Bulan was also listed among the 48 municipalities in the Bicol Region considered as
geologically hazardous and highly prone to landslides and flooding.

The municipality was also threatened by the activity of Bulusan Volcano which is located 30
kilometers northwest of the Barangay . There have been numerous ash fall of the volcano was raised in
year 2011.

To help build disaster-resilient and prepared communities, the WFP and the LGU of Bulan together
with the PBSP, is implementing the “Disaster Preparedness and Response Project” in the municipality
whose overall aim is to complement the efforts of the LGU and communities in mitigating the effects
of hazards in the locality through adaptation and preparedness mechanism.

One activity under the project is the conduct of Contingency Plan Formulation Workshops in the
Barangays of the municipality Bulan. The CP workshops aimed to cascade down basic concepts of
DRR and the CBDRM approach, clarify the roles of the BDRRMC, craft Barangay Contingency Plan,
and agree on immediate next steps of Action Plan.

The Calomagon CP workshop was conducted at Barangay Day care center of Barangay San Francisco
on July 22-23, 2016. It was facilitated by a team of facilitators trained on the CP process by the PBSP-
WFP. Participants were members of the Barangay of Barangay Calomagon and Barangay San
Francisco and other stakeholders.

The results and output of the CP workshop were the basis in preparing the Calomagon Barangay
Contingency Plan.

 CHAPTER I
GENERAL SITUATION AND SCENARIOS

Introduction

Barangay Calomagon is one the 63 Barangay of the Municipality of Bulan . It is bounded on the North
by Barangay Recto , Antipolo on the West, Barangay Inararan on the South and Somagongsong on the
East. Calomagon is a combination of low and upland and the topography is mostly rolling hills and
mountains. The main economic activity is agricultural and the main products are coconuts, vegetables
and small-scale poultry. The predominant land use is agricultural planted mainly with coconut and rice
.

Calomagon has a population of 1,830 (NSO, 2014) with a land area of 419.3287 Hectares. There are
373 documented households in 2014 dispersed in six “Puroks”. Calomagon is 5 kilometers away from
Bulan proper . The Barangay has various facilities like a Barangay hall, Day care Center ,elementary
school, and chapel . the means of transportation was tricycle and motorcycle.

The last major typhoon that happened was “Typhoon Nona ” which was Happened last December 14,
2016 . heavy rains occurred and flooding that caused 65% are partially damaged and 35 % are totally
damaged.

When these disasters happened, it caused destruction to properties, infrastructure and livelihood of the
residents. And since the barangay is prone to disaster, it is very necessary to have a Contingency Plan.

Hazard Analysis

In the effort to understand the factors of the Barangay’s vulnerability to disasters and to come up with
a preparedness plan, hazard analysis was done. The different hazards experienced in the Barangay are
landslide, flooding and typhoon. As to the impact, landslide would destroy lands, crops and houses and
make roads impassable. Flooding would also make road impassable in the spillway and products could
not be transported as well as students could not go to school. The worst hazard for the Barangay is
typhoon and the impact would be destruction of houses, loss of livelihood and income, hunger and
destruction of rice and coconut crops. The main positive impact of these hazards is the revival of
“bayanihan” spirit.

The following table shows the detail of the Identification of Hazard and Risk Assessment
Workshop:

Hazard Focus Analysis: Typhoon

Typhoon is commonly experienced in Barangay Calomagon . A low pressure area can develop into a
tropical cyclone and would bring strong winds and rains. Warning signs of flooding can be accessed
from PAGASA d MDRRMO either by television or radio. Other indigenous warning signs mentioned:
swifts or balingsasayaw are continuously flying, chirping of “kuliglig” even at noon, and some tree
branch break even without wind. The triggering factors are identified as the higher elevation of the
Barangay and climate change. Forewarning can be as early as one week.
The force of typhoon can be seen when roofs of houses are flown away, coconuts are falling from the
trees and crops are washed out. Strong Typhoon can happen up from two to three times a year and
within the months of May, September, October, November to December. The scope of impact is 80%
of all households and 100% of all crops.

Hazard Map

The Barangay hazard map shows where the houses are located in all Purok as well as the important
landmarks like as school, roads, rivers and Barangay hall. Since typhoon was identified as the major
hazard of the Barangay, the areas to be affected were indicated on the map to show the extent of
possible reach.

Further, evacuation route and the pick-up points were also shown in the hazard map. The alternate
routes were also identified in preparation when the main routes are flooded or impassable.

8|Contingency Plan, Calomagon Bulan, Sorsogon.

Worst-Case Scenario

A worst case scenario would happen when a tropical cyclone would come and brings heavy rains.
Because the Barangay is an agricultural community and most houses are made of light materials,
typhoon would have grave impact to the community. Impact on the people would include hunger,
sickness, trauma and death. Impact on properties and livelihood include loss of crops and livestock,
damage to houses and economic crisis. Infrastructure and facilities would be damaged particularly the
lone access road to the Barangay would be damaged, loss of power and water supply and cut-off of
transportation.

Potential Population to be Affected

To better prepare the Barangay, the Contingency Plan focused on typhoon and what would happen to
the Barangay if it occurs. And in order to have a better grasp of the worst-case situation, the potential
population to be affected by typhoon has been identified for each of the six Purok. The table shows the
details of those to be affected:

Early Warning and Evacuation Plan

A safe community is a community that is prepared to respond and act to help and evacuate the
residents when a hazard of catastrophic proportion happens. In the case of Barangay Calomagon , their
preparedness plan consists of early warning system to alert people to prepare and eventually evacuate
when they see the presence of warning signs. When the early warning systems are heard, the
predefined courses of actions will be taken depending on the severity of the situation. These are shown
in the following table:

Inventory of Resources

Since this CP focuses on typhoon as the Barangay’s main hazard, the Barangay identified the
Inventory of Material and Non-Material Resources that could be used in a disaster situation. These
inventories of resources are properties of the residents of the community or of the Barangay. Material
Resource Inventory pertains to the materials that could be used to keep the people protected, fed and
cared for. The table shows the materials that are available in the community and other details:

Stakeholder Analysis

A community would function better if all its sectors, groups and associations would help to plan,
contribute assistance and provide manpower in a disaster. To ensure this, Barangay Calomagon did an
inventory of all the groups and institutions in their area and basing from its services offered, their
possible assistance to the community on a disaster or emergency situation were identified. The
BDRRMC would make sure to enjoin these organizations to commit and actually support the
discussion and implementation of the CP. The table that follows shows the stakeholders in the
community and its services and possible assistance to be provided.

Needs Projection

The need to be prepared and be sufficient is imperative for the BDRRMC to be fully functional and
confident. In this light, the amount and volume of materials needed to provide for the basic needs of
the people should be ready and fully provided. In the case of Barangay Calomagon , their needs
projection was made based on the standards set by the OCD, which was translated to local standards
and definitions for easy understanding. The basic requirements to be prepared are: food (rice), canned
sardines, water, latrine, and blankets, among others.

The projection was set on the needed resources for the potential population to be affected. The
available resources are then deducted from the gross needs in volume, and the gaps are to be sourced
out elsewhere. The BDRRMC Team on Supplies and Resource Mobilization, and aided by the rest of
the BDRRMC Teams, will have to actively mobilize for funds and in-kind contribution to fully fill the
gaps for each basic requirement.

The BDRRMC should see to it that the gross requirements for the basic needs for the evacuation center
will be fully provided and available before the people evacuate. The following table is the needs
projected of the Barangay according to the potential population to be affected:

 CHAPTER II
GENERAL POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES

The Contingency Plan ensures that vital processes are done and followed towards efficient disaster
operations. The CP as a disaster management tool, is mandated under Section 2, Paragraphs (c) and (e)
of Republic Act 10121 or the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010, which
signed into law on May 27, 2010.

Legal Basis

The Philippines had a legal framework for disaster management as early as 1978. It is known as
Presidential Decree (PD) 1566 or “Strengthening the Philippine Disaster Control and Establishing the
National Program on Community Disaster Preparedness”, which was issued on June 11, 1978.

But since PD 1566 was centered only on analyzing the hazard and combating its effect after the
disaster, it was more considered to be very reactive disaster response. The need for a more proactive
response brought forth the signing into law of the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Act of 2010.

Among the salient provisions of R.A. 10121 are the following:

 Coherence with international disaster risk reduction and management framework
 Adherence to universal norms, principles and standards of humanitarian assistance
 Good governance through transparency and accountability
 Strengthened institutional mechanism from national to local government units
 Integrated, coordinated, multi-sectoral, inter-agency, and community based approach to
disaster reduction
 Empowerment of the LGUs and the civil society organizations as partners in disaster risk
reduction and management
 Integration of the DRRM into education curricula
 Establishment of the DRRM Fund at the national and local levels
 Providing for provisions on the declaration of a state of calamity, remedial measures,
prohibited acts and penalties.

Rules and Regulations Implementing R.A. 10121

Under the IRR of R.A. 10121, the disaster management activities of BDRRMC member-agencies as
well as procedures and guidelines for multi sector coordination and dissemination of information
during the three (3) phases are defined.

A. Pre-Disaster Phase

1. Planning for Disaster

20 | C o n t i n g e n c y P l a n , C a l o m a g o n B u l a n , S o r s o g o n .
  Development/formulation of a Disaster Management Plan (DMP) by the BDRRMC to be
submitted to the MDRRMC for review and evaluation. The plan should conform to the
guidelines of the OCD and shall be revised/updated as necessary.
2. Organizing
 Organization of BDC and BDRRMC in accordance with Rule 5 and Section 5, Rule 6 of
the Implementing Rules and Regulations of R.A. 10121, and the BDRRMC structure set
forth in the National Calamities and Disaster Preparedness Plan (NCDPP), supported with a
Local Sanggunian Resolution/Ordinance.
 Establishment of BDRRMC guidelines for inter-agency coordination/networking.
3. Training
 Conduct of training on disaster management for BDRRMC members; skills training for
BERT operating teams, volunteers and community members in coordination with various
agencies and sectors.
4. Drills
 Conduct of organizational and community drills/exercises periodically in order to assess
effectiveness in responding to disasters. The OCD shall assist/observe and provide critique
in the conduct of drills and exercises.
5. Stockpiling
 Pre-determination of food, clothing, shelter, medical supplies, transportation and other
emergency requirement.
 Takes appropriate measures to stockpile the same.
6. Resource Data Canvassing
 Identification of existing resources.
 Evaluation of capability of resource organizations to carry out disaster-related tasks.
 Allocation of suitable roles to resource organization.
7. Public Information/Awareness Drive
 Conduct of public information/awareness campaign in coping with disaster situations in
coordination with the OCD, Philippine Information Agency (PIA) as well as other
government/or private entities with facilities for dissemination of information.
8. Communications and Warning Activities
 Organization of warning units in the province.
 Establishment of a warning system that must be clearly defined and written down in plans,
standard operating procedures and other relevant documents.
 Inform concerned officials and agencies in the province as well as the general public of the
warning system.

B. Emergency Phase

 Mobilizes all emergency services of the DRRM Councils, namely rescue and engineering,
evacuation, first aid and medical services, emergency relief, police and fire auxiliary,
transportation and survey and damage assessment with the national government supporting
the efforts of the BDRRMC.

21 | C o n t i n g e n c y P l a n , C a l o m a g o n B u l a n , S o r s o g o n .
  Evaluation of survey results and submission of damage report and recommendation to
PDRRMC through the MDRRMC.

C. Post-Emergency Phase

1. Cross-checking of data
a. Cross-checking of damage report with pre-emergency data obtained to facilitate the
location or whereabouts of persons and to assess available community resources for
rehabilitation purposes.
b. Rehabilitation requirements determine the nature and extent of rehabilitation efforts to
be undertaken and requests for assistance from appropriate government agencies,
private offices/agencies or individuals, if the situation goes beyond the capability of the
MDRRMC and PDRRMC.

Section 11 of R.A. 10121 provides that “the Barangay Disaster Coordinating Councils shall cease to
exist and its powers and functions shall henceforth be assumed by the existing Barangay Development
Councils which shall serve as the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils in every
Barangay”. And just like other local government levels, the Chief Executives are, by law, the
Chairmen of their respective Councils. Thus, the Barangay Chairman acts as the Chairman of the BDC
and Over-all Incidence Commander during Disaster Situations.

Acting as DRRM implementing arm of the BDC will be the Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Committee. As provided for under Paragraph (a), Section 12 of R.A. 10121, “There shall
established xxx a Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Committee in every Barangay
which shall be responsible for setting the direction, development, implementation and coordination of
disaster risk management programs within their territorial jurisdiction.”

The BDRRMC is the closest to the people. It is at this level that emergency is most felt and rescue,
evacuation, relief and rehabilitation operations are launched and carried out. It is also at this level that
damages are assessed and requirements are evaluated so that the necessary actions can be taken with
dispatch and efficiency. This local responsibility was reinforced with the passage of the RA 7160 or
the Local Government Code of 1991, which provides among others, the devolution of basic services
and functions to local government units, and RA 10121 where fund allocation of not less than 5% of

the estimated revenue from regular source shall be set aside as the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Fund to support disaster risk management activities (Section 21, R.A. 10121).

 CHAPTER III
STRATEGIES AND ACTIVITIES

To fully understand and observe the order of the disaster risk reduction and management of Barangay
Liang, the Barangay prepared the details of the Strategies and Activities. These were grouped and
aligned with the Disaster Cycle that dictates courses of action in predetermined stages.

First is for the barangay’s preparedness and ability to mitigate negative impacts Before the disaster
happens. The next group is for the Barangay to effectively respond to the effects of the disaster During
its occurrence. And finally, the third group are courses of action for rehabilitation and reconstruction
that the Barangay should do After the disaster happens.

B. Responsibilities According to Needs

Disaster preparedness is the key to reducing the risks and thereby increasing the capability of the
community to reduce damages to properties, infrastructure and livelihood and avert loss of lives.

To better prepare for these, roles and functions were identified, clarified and understood by those
assigned. These follow the Structure for the Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Committee and the Emergency Response Teams set by the Office of Civil Defense to be strictly
followed by the BDC. These are designed based on the complex coordination and enormous needs that
are experienced in a disaster situation.

As mandated, the Barangay Chairman or the Barangay Captain is the designated Chairman of the BDC
and Over-all Incidence Commander. A Councilor maybe appointed by him will be assigned as Head of
the Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Committee. The BDC Chairman and
BRDRRMC Head will see to it that the Teams are headed by learned and capable people who are
either Councilors or Key Members of the Community with sufficient skills and capacity to lead and
implement the functions set for each Team.

The BDRRMC Structure

The structure below is the active BDRRMC of Barangay Calomagon with the designated officers to
lead the teams:

25 | C o n t i n g e n c y P l a n , C a l o m a g o n B u l a n , S o r s o g o n .
The BDRRMC is composed of the Barangay Captain as the BDC Chairman and Over-all Incidence
Commander, the BDRRMC Head, 3 Assistant Heads for each functional division and the 11 heads or
leaders of all the Teams. However, all Teams have different numbers of members, depending on its
functions, who have the capability to act and execute their functions for disaster preparedness, during
disaster response and rehabilitation after the disaster. The members of the BDRRMC Teams would
now comprise the Barangay Emergency Response Teams or BERTs.

On the other hand, the BDOC or the Barangay Disaster Operations Center or the Emergency
Operations Center, will automatically be established when a disaster happens. The functions of the
EOC are already in place, and will be located in the Evacuation Center. This is lodged under the
Chairman of the BDC, and will host the various Staff Teams and the command center of the
Operations Team while doing their active duty.

CHAPTER IV
PROCEDURES FOR FEEDBACK, UPGRADING AND FUTURE ACTION

The Barangay hopes not to experience any kind of hazard to affect them. However, since the fortuity of hazards
could never be predicted and its negative effect to the barangay could never be averted, but in the least could
only be reduced, the presence of the Contingency Plan gives them much confidence. Armed with it, Barangay
Calomagon is already prepared to mitigate and reduce possible damages and avoid loss of lives at the wake of
the typhoon or any other disaster that may affect them.

The Immediate Next Steps for the BDRRMC to undertake are presented on the table below:

The Barangay Calomagon BDRRMC will conduct a Barangay Assembly where the CP will be
discussed. To be discussed are the Disaster Management Cycle, CDRM Approach and Terminologies,
the Risk Assessment, Alert Levels, Evacuation Plan, and the Activation of the BDRRMC and BERTs
complete with its functions, responsibilities, heads and members.

Leadership of the BDRRMC

The Chairman of the BDC, the Honorable Barangay Captain, is at the helm of the BDRRMC functions
and affairs. As such, he will make sure that all the deliverables are acted on, all concerns are resolved,

29 | C o n t i n g e n c y P l a n , C a l o m a g o n B u l a n , S o r s o g o n .
and all gaps are provided. The Chairman will also see to it that efficient networking with other
agencies, sectors, civil society groups, and other organizations and persons, are properly cared of.

Meanwhile, the Head of the BDRRMC would be on hand to provide the much needed leadership and
assistance to stretch the command to generate all requirements for the effectiveness and efficiency of
the implementation of the CP. The leaders or heads of the various Teams would also be capacitated to
work with minimal supervision, so that the expectations, functions and deliverables of their teams
would be best served.

These would be done to generate the much needed support for disaster preparedness, resource
mobilization to fund the gaps needed for food, medical equipment and facilities, evacuation and
operations center, equipment for search and rescue.

It is also of paramount interest for the efficiency of the BDRRMC and its action teams, to always
refresh their functions to have each team prepared and running on any given time.

Succession and Development of Second Liners

Should a vacuum in leadership happens, the BDC Chairman, thru the BDRRMC Head should
immediately convene an emergency meeting to appoint and immediately fill the void. There should be
in no way a team would be without a leader for any length of time. There should always be continuity
of functions and expedite its services immediately when needed.

In the event that the Chairmanship is vacated, the Vice Chairman of the BDC should immediately be
ready to assume the position of Chairman. Should the Vice Chairman position become vacant, it is the
responsibility of the Chairman to immediately appoint a new Vice Chairman from the existing
members of the BDC. Should the Head of BDRRMC become vacant, it is the responsibility of the
Chairman to immediately appoint a new Head from the existing leaders of the BDRRMC teams. This
should be concurred by the members of the BDC as a whole.

Should a team leader be vacant, the BDC Chairman should immediately appoint a new leader. It is
highly recommended that the new leader should come from the existing roster of members. Any new
appointment should be informed to the BDRRMC and the BERTs immediately. To prepare the
BDRRMC for succession, there should be a proactive development of second liners for each team, so
that each team is ready to fill a new leader for every vacancy.

Should a member resign, the Team leader appoints the new member who is not a member of any team
yet. This should be immediately informed to the BDRRMC. In any case of replacement or succession,
the new appointee for Leader or the new member should be oriented of its functions or roles and
should immediately be capable to perform its sworn duties and responsibilities.

Monitoring and Reporting

The BDRRMC is set to convene and meet once a month. During this BDRRMC meeting, the progress
of the BDRRMC strengthening and the training and capacity building of the BERTs will be reported.
There will be constant critiquing by and among members of the BDRRMC and for the BERTs to

30 | C o n t i n g e n c y P l a n , C a l o m a g o n B u l a n , S o r s o g o n .
enhance and fully grasp the functions of the BDRRMC Teams and the roles and responsibilities of the
BERTs.

The Communication Team, which also has the designated function of Documentation and Public
Information, is tasked to prepare the reports, keep updates and file these and other documents for
future use and reference. All the other BDRRMC Teams will also prepare their reports and present
them during BDRRMC meetings, and keep the files safe.

A consolidated copy of the BDRRMC report will be submitted to the MDRRMC of the Municipality
of Bulan, especially the immediate needs that require the assistance and attention of the MDRRMC,
PDRRMC and higher authorities.
