Chapter II

Background

A. INTRODUCTION

Barangay Mapalad is one of the seventy six (76) barangays of Tarlac City.
Furthermore, this barangay is under the second (2 nd) congressional district of the Province
of Tarlac, Region III, and a member of the Liga ng mga Barangay (Tarlac City). Barangay
Mapalad is situated at approximately 15.5471, 120.5574, in the island of Luzon. Elevation
at these coordinates is estimated at 29.2 meters or 95.8 feet above mean sea level, with
adjacent barangays Santo Niño, Dolores, Laoang, Baras-Basras, and Santa Maria.

Our barangay is composed of 475.3859 hectares of total land area, 237.6929

hectares of which are used in agriculture, 59.7 hectares are forests, 118 hectares are idle,
and the remaining is used as residential land.

Major Transportation.

The only means of transportation in our area is via TODA and personal vehicles.

Produce.

Rice and various vegetables are the main produce of this locality.

Creeks:

Our barangay had a main man-made creek that holds as an outlet for the purpose of
drainage system of the barangay and anti-flood control during heavy rain shower and
irrigation channel to be use in agricultural farming.

B.ANATOMY OF HAZARD

During the Super Typhoon Santi, as it was categorized by the PAGASA, way back in
2013. Region III suffer most and one of our barangay that was hit then. Since the PAGASA
never expected that typhoon, it was a major blow to us. There were no warning and public
information from the bureau

Hydro-meteorological Hazard

Hydro-meteorological hazards are natural processes or phenomena of atmospheric,

hydrologic or oceanographic nature, which may cause loss of life, injury, property damage,
social and economic disruption or environmental degradation. Hydro-meteorological
hazards can be single, sequential or combined in their origin and effects. Hydro-
meteorological hazards include: floods, debris and mud floods; tropical cyclones, storm
surges, thunder/hailstorms, rain and wind storms, blizzards and other severe storms;
drought, desertification, wildland fires, temperature extremes, sand or dust storms;
permafrost and snow or ice avalanches. (NEDA – Manual on Mainstreaming DRR/CCA in
PDPFPs).

Of the hazards, under this origin, one was discussed in this report: floods.

 FLOODS

Floods are characterized by a rise in the water level when a body of water, such as a
river or lake exceeds its total capacity. Having a slow build up and usually seasonal, floods
have many causes. Heavy rains, whether sudden or prolonged, may create several
scenarios of flooding and its impact depends also on artificial or human interventions.

Riverine floods are typically caused by excess overland run-off and stream
discharge, where the main channel capacity has been exceeded and hence overtops river
banks and flows through its adjacent flood plains. Other factors that may cause flood flows
are dam breaches; blockages of channels arising from deposition of sediments, debris and
the like; and the narrowing of sections along waterways like canals, bridges, and culverts
which create fast waters in main canals and floodplains. Flooding also affects the land
cover, e.g., agriculture, built-up areas, tree canopy, among others.

Flooding is a perennial problem in the low-lying barangays in the municipality. During

the rainy season, communities located near the Tarlac River are usually inundated when
the banks of this river overflows.

 FLOOD HAZARD CHARACTERIZATION

The most common trigger events for the occurrence of flood are the tropical cyclones
that bring heavy rainfall within the catchment areas in the adjacent and neighboring areas.
In some cases, heavy monsoon rains cause inundation to highly flood prone communities.
Barangays that are susceptible to flood hazards are those within the influence areas of the
major rivers and creeks traversing the municipality. One of the primary contributing factors
for the occurrence of these hazards is heavy siltation of waterways due to lahar, resulting in
the limited capacity to handle heavy flash flood water flow from the rain catchment areas.

Based on the study conducted by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB)
released in 2008, the agricultural barangay Mapalad, Tarlac City is moderately susceptible
to flooding. The area is indicative of small tension cracks along moderate slopes and
located away from the community.
B. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

Barangay Mapalad has two (3) natural hazards namely; Flood, Typhoon, and Earthquake.

As seen in the probability and impact of hazards, typhoon ranks first, as evident in
recent years proved to be slightly devastating in terms of damages in crops, infrastructures
and properties both in numbers and costing. No worst flooding that hit the barangay brought
about by heavy rains due to typhoon. Clogged drainage canal or improper waste disposal
can be attributed to this problem.

 The root cause of flooding in Brgy. Mapalad can be associated to climate change,
poor waste management and poor de-clogging of sewers in the barangay.

The early warning signs the barangay should monitor are continuous rainfall and
rising water level along flood prone areas.

Flooding may be triggered by continuous heavy rainfall with clogged water system.
Dam break can be possible.

At the very least, Brgy. Mapalad has established existing mitigating measures in
response to flooding. These include non-structural measures like de-clogging and proper
waste management as well as structural measures such as repair and de-clogging of
drainage canal near the barangay creeks.

D. SCENARIOS FOR FLOOD

The following table describes the three different scenarios that may occur in the
event that flooding hits Mapalad, Tarlac City.

The root cause of flooding in Brgy. Mapalad can be associated to poor waste
management and improper unclogging of sewers and the narrow/shallowly built of the
same.

The early warning signs the barangay should monitor are continuous rainfall and
rising water level along the creeks partially in 1st – 10th street.

At the very least, the barangay has established existing mitigating measures in
response to flooding. These include non-structural measures like de-clogging and clearing
tree branches along the sewers as well as boulders that may delay the flowing rain water.

The barangay will have to be prepared for the worst effect of flood due to the effect
of super typhoon, worst flood and severe effects can be experience in our area. The
expected effects of the same to the majority of the population is what we have to be
prepared of, evacuation of the affected families especially those living near the creeks who
are potential first victims. Proper and correct method on all steps for the safety of the
victims must be considered. A total of 152 household with 159 families can be affected by
a super typhoon. In case of worst scenarios brought about by flood, a contingency plan
must be activated and applied.

Power interruption must be anticipated during intensified winds and strong

downpours. The preparation must be intensified by having generators ready as well as
flashlights and search lights. Proper coordination to TEI to clear tree debris along the Main
electric lines to avoid accident due to down electrical lines. There is no existing cable for
any communication installed in the vicinity and therefore no risk of communication facilities
damage. There must be a concrete plan on how and where to keep the farmer produce the
likes of palay and other vegetables during calamity and disasters to avoid loss and damage.
 The barangay will activate the Barangay Search and Rescue Team (BSRT) that
will answer the call of rescue among our constituencies; BSRT was organized by the
Chairman thru an Executive Order No. 014.

The BSRT will be activated during disaster and calamity by the BDRRMO and will act as
the team in-charge in search and rescue operation within the locality,

 The contingency plan shall be activated based on the findings of Pre-Disaster Risk
Assessment by the CDRRMO, to the Barangay level leading to the activation of the
Barangay Emergency Operation Center (BEOC). The Barangay Chairman shall then
convene all the clusters to assess the situation. Afterwards, Barangay Chairman shall
officially activate Barangay Incident Command System (BICS) and delegate authority to the
IC coming from the City BRRMO. The BIC shall then proceed to organize the BSRT and
implement tactical activities based on the strategic decisions of the clusters.

The contingency plan shall be deactivated once the situation has improved and
when heightened alert is no longer required. The recommendation for deactivation shall
emanate from the BIC going to the Barangay Chairman via the BEOC. Once deactivated,
operation will still remain until such time that the BEOC will be back to “white alert” status.
At this point, the operation is already terminated.

B. NON-ACTIVATION

In case that the flooding will not take place, the contingency plan will not be
activated. In this case, the plan will be maintained as a perpetual plan for future use in the
event of upcoming typhoons.
