BACKGROUND CHECK:

• Located at Batangas,
Philippines
• 2nd most ACTIVE Volcano
in the Philippines

• 311 meters high
• 33 eruptions recorded

“An island with a lake with an island with its own lake and
in that lake there is a small island.”

HAZARDS
HAZARD CHECK:
• Main Crater Lake
• Lake Tsunamis
• Pyroclastic Materials
• Volcanic Earthquake
• Potential to erupt
anytime
 MAIN CRATER
LAKE
Though the aquamarine lake
looks good for swimming, it’s
not. The lake is rich in sulfuric
acid which is toxic for our body
and is extremely dangerous.

Sulfuric acid is unique for it

does not only causes chemical
burns but also secondary
thermal burns.
 LAKE
TSUNAMIS
Tsunamis occurring in lake is
a rare phenomenon but that
does not mean it may not occur.

It is a series of water waves

that is displaced by sudden
displacement of large volumes.
 PYROCLASTIC
MATERIALS
These are volcanic materials
that came from the inside of
the volcano itself.

Another name for a cloud

of ash, lava fragments carried
through the air, and vapor.

Most common material of

pyroclastic is the ash that is so
fine it can be blown in the
atmosphere and can circle
Erath for several years.
 VOLCANIC
EARTHQUAKES

This occurs when the cause of

earthquake is the tremendous
eruption of volcano.

It is an earthquake induced by
the movement (withdrawal) of
magma.
 POTENTIAL TO ERUPT ANYTIME
The potential to erupt anytime
gives the incapability of citizens
to prepare for the possibility of
eruption.

Due to this, spontaneous

eruption might lead to multiple
cases of injuries especially to
people who are near the said
volcano.
 How do we avoid these
Hazards?
Hazards brought about by volcanoes are
unavoidable, such as hazards stated a while ago
(Pyroclastic materials, volcanic earthquakes, and
volcanic eruptions).
 How do we prepare for
these Hazards?
* Practice a communication and evacuation plan
with everyone in your family.

* Have a shelter-in-place plan if your biggest risk is

from ash.
 How do we prepare for
these Hazards?
* Keep important documents in a safe place. Create
password-protected digital copies.

* PREPARE NOW
 What should you do
when caught up in
Hazards?
* Follow evacuation orders from local authorities.
Evacuate early.
 What should you do
when caught up in
Hazards?
* Take temporary shelter from volcanic ash where
you are if you have enough supplies. Cover
ventilation openings and seal doors and windows.
 What should you do
when caught up in
Hazards?
* If outside, protect yourself from falling ash that can
irritate skin and injure breathing passages, eyes, and
open wounds. Use a well-fitting certified facemask.
 What should you do
when caught up in
Hazards?
* Most importantly, SURVIVE WITH YOUR LOVE
ONES.
 What should you do
after hazards take
place?
* Send text messages or use social media to reach
out to family and friends. Phone systems are often
busy after a disaster. Only make emergency calls.
 What should you do
after hazards take
place?
* Do not get on your roof to remove ash unless you
have guidance or training. If you have to remove
ash, then be very careful as ash makes surfaces
slippery.
 What should you do
after hazards take
place?
* If you have any breathing problems, avoid
contact with ash. Stay indoors until authorities say it
is safe to go outside.
 Hazards are all around us and any moment it could
cause a life if neglected. How hazard affects is caused
by negligence and as much as possible we need to be
aware, be alert, and be ready for the hazards that
could possibly harm us. Remember, prevention is
better than cure.
