V. NARRATIVE:

A Hazard Map is a map that highlights areas that are affected by or vulnerable to a
particular hazard. They are typically created for natural hazards, such as earthquakes,
flooding and fire related accidents. Hazard maps help prevent serious damage and deaths.
Hazard mapping is a process of creating and making a conjunction with several natural
disasters. Different hazard maps have different uses. For instance, the hazard map created by
the SDRRMG local unit is used by Angeleňos in order to properly adjust insurance for
people living in hazardous areas. It is also created for flooding area in the school. Hazard
maps can also be useful in determining the risks of staying in a certain area. It can help
students become aware of the dangers they might face from natural disasters in a specific
area.

Pursuant to the enclosed DepEd Order No.23,s .2015 entitled Student-led school
Watching and Hazard Mapping, the Department of Education (DepEd), through the
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Service(SDRRMS),reiterates the implementing
guidelines stipulated in the aforementioned Order in all school at elementary and secondary
levels effective School Year ( 2016-2017). All schools are required to perform the activity
within the first month of the school opening of the current school year.

The Student-led School Watching and Hazard Mapping are initial steps in engaging
learners in disaster preparedness and management. This activity will raise awareness and
equip learners with the information and skills necessary for addressing the impact of hazards.
Through this activity, the DepEd creates an opportunity for learners to understand their role
in disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM)

Watching Team. The said team is composed of 14 members and they are identified leaders
of different organization in our school. The moderator presented the guidelines and
objectives of School Watching and Hazard Mapping. He prepared a timeline on the conduct
of this activity to ensure that this will not disrupt regular school activities and classes of the
members. He also discussed the student-led School Watching Checklist to the members for
guidance in the observation of hazards. He divides the members into four zones for
immediate observation and findings. Before convening the Student Watching Team, the
