Lesson 1: Survival Kits, IEC Materials, and the Philippine DRRM Law

‘IM READY’ is the official public safety and preparedness campaign of the News and Public Affairs of GMA 7, one of the local TV or media networks in the Philippines. As a country, are we ready to face and deal with the challenges of natural and man-made disasters? We can’t change the situation that the Philippines is a disaster-prone country, but we can change the mindset and capacity of the Filipino nation to become more ready and prepared for disasters.

What’s In

Directions: List down six (6) simple steps in making a community disaster preparedness plan. Complete the diagram below.

[chart: flowchart; six numbered boxes (1 to 6) arranged in a loop with arrows showing the order from 1 to 6. The boxes are empty; no step text is printed in them.]

transcriber’s note: the six boxes are numbered 1 through 6 and contain no printed text.
