The municipality is being traversed
by the convergence of two big rivers –
Siocon River and Lituban River exiting at
Brgy. Bucana. During heavy rains, water of
these 2 rivers inundates the entire town
including several nearby barangays. In
addition, the entire Poblacion area is being
traversed by a creek coming from
barangays New Lituban and J.P. Brillantes,
Sr. During heavy downpour of rain, this
creek could no longer accommodate the
flowing waters, thus, inundating the entire
Poblacion area.

The denudation of the forest destroys the watershed of the Municipality of Siocon resulting
to drying of its rivers and creeks in the advent of El Niño and the recurrence of heavy floods during
heavy rains that bring loads of sediments down to the rivers and the coastal waters. All these
adverse conditions impact greatly to the agricultural plains and coastal habitats and resources of
the municipality.

1.6.7. Tidal Current Patterns

Siocon being located in the west of Sulu Sea has a mixed tidal cycle, characterized by two
high tides and two low tides which are unequal in height occurring about 12 hours and 25 minutes
apart (Please refer to Figure 17). During a flood tide, when the water level is rising between low
and high tides, the tidal current flows toward shore. During ebb tide, when the water level is falling
between high and low tides, the tidal current moves away from shore. The greatest tidal currents
occur midway between high and low tide. A slack tide is when there is no current and occurs near
high and low tide when the
flow of water is changing
direction. Moving water
toward and away from
shore, tidal currents often
cause a parallel flow of
water along the shoreline.
Tidal currents are usually
the strongest currents in the
municipal waters.

 2. DISASTER AND HAZARD RISKS PROFILE
2.1. Current and Future Climate Risks

2.1.1. Atmospheric Temperature

The temperature in Siocon varies so little
throughout the year that it is not entirely
meaningful to discuss hot and cold seasons.
April is the warmest month of the year. The
temperature in April averages 91°F. In January,
the average temperature is 88°F. It is the lowest
average temperature of the whole year.

The daily average high (red line) and low Figure 20. Ave. Daily Temperature Graph
(blue line) temperature, with 25th to 75th and
10th to 90th percentile bands. The thin
dotted lines are the corresponding
average perceived temperatures.

Figure 21. shows you a compact

characterization of the entire year of
hourly average temperatures. The
horizontal axis is the day of the year, the
vertical axis is the hour of the day, and
the color is the average temperature for
that hour and day. Figure 21. Annual Ave. Hourly Temperature Graph

Observed temperature in the Philippines is warming at an average rate of 0.1°C/decade.

Climate projections suggests continuous warming in the future. It is projected that the country-
averaged mean temperature could increase by as much as 0.9°C-1.9°C (assuming the moderate
emission scenario) and 1.2°C-2.3°C (considering the high emission scenario) in the mid-21st
century (2036-2065).

2.1.2. Rainfall
To show variation within the months and not just the monthly totals, we show the rainfall
accumulated over a sliding 31-day period centered around each day of the year. Siocon
experiences extreme seasonal variation in monthly rainfall.

SIOCON MDRRMP CY 2023-2025 34

 Rain falls throughout the year in
Siocon. The most rain falls during the
31 days centered around October 9,
with an average total accumulation of
6.1 inches.

The least rain falls around

March 15, with an average total
Figure 22.. Ave. Monthly Rainfall
accumulation of 1.7 inches.

Increasing trends in annual seasonal rainfall were observed in many parts of the country.
Such trends were found to be associated with extreme rainfall events. Multi-modal projections
suggest a range of increase and decrease in seasonal-mean rainfall exceeding 40% of its
historical values. Nevertheless, the multi-modal central estimate of projected changes in rainfall
could be within the natural rainfall variations, except for the projected rainfall reduction over central
sections of Mindanao that are beyond the observed rainfall variations in the past.

2.1.3. Relative Humidity

We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration
will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew
points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and
day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy
day is typically followed by a muggy night.

The perceived humidity level in

Siocon, as measured by the
percentage of time in which the
humidity comfort level is muggy,
oppressive, or miserable, does
not vary significantly over the
course of the year, remaining a
virtually constant 100%
throughout.
Figure 23. Humidity Level Graph

2.1.4. Wind
This section discusses the wide-area hourly average wind vector (speed and direction) at
10 meters above the ground. The wind experienced at any given location is highly dependent on
local topography and other factors, and instantaneous wind speed and direction vary more widely
than hourly averages.

SIOCON MDRRMP CY 2023-2025 35

 The average hourly wind
speed in Siocon experiences
significant seasonal variation over
the course of the year.

The windier part of the year

lasts for 3.7 months, from
November 30 to March 20, with
average wind speeds of more than
8.4 miles per hour. The windiest
day of the year is January 15, with
Figure 24. Ave. Wind Speed Graph
an average hourly wind speed of
11.4 miles per hour.

The calmer time of year lasts

for 8.3 months, from March 20 to
November 30. The calmest day of
the year is May 13, with an
average hourly wind speed of 5.3
miles per hour.

The average of mean hourly

wind speeds (dark gray line), with
Figure 25. Wind Direction Graph 25th to 75th and 10th to 90th
percentile bands.

The predominant average hourly wind direction in Siocon varies throughout the year.

The wind is most often from the west for 1.4 weeks, from May 6 to May 16 and for 1.3
months, from September 16 to October 25, with a peak percentage of 48% on October 4. The
wind is most often from the south for 4.0 months, from May 16 to September 16, with a peak
percentage of 66% on August 15. The wind is most often from the north for 6.4 months, from
October 25 to May 6, with a peak percentage of 60% on January 1.

2.1.5. Typhoon
The municipality is not spared from typhoons though it Is not within typhoon belts. However,
the municipality experience inundation in some areas especially those in lowlands whenever there
is heavy downpour of rains due to typhoons. Similarly, landslides are likely to occur in the
highlands during typhoons with heavy rains.

SIOCON MDRRMP CY 2023-2025 36

 2.1.6. Water Temperature
Siocon is located near a large body of water (e.g., ocean, sea, or large lake). This section
reports on the wide-area average surface temperature of that water.

The average water

temperature experiences some
seasonal variation over the
course of the year.

The time of year with

warmer water lasts for 2.2
months, from May 1 to July 7,
with an average temperature
above 84°F. The day of the year
with the warmest water is May
26, with an average temperature Figure 26. Ave. Water Temperature Graph
of 85°F.

The time of year with cooler water lasts for 2.3 months, from January 6 to March 16, with
an average temperature below 82°F. The day of the year with the coolest water is January 31,
with an average temperature of 81°F.

2.2. Climate Change Projection

Because of its geographical setting, Siocon has a high risk of natural disasters causing
damage to the area’s population, property, and economy. A changing climate will result in these
natural disasters becoming stronger, more frequent, and having greater widespread effects. The
effects of climate change will be felt in rising temperatures, rising sea levels, stronger more
frequent extreme weather events, and wetter wet seasons and dryer dry seasons.

In 2010, Siocon had 16.4kha of natural forest, extending over 85% of its land area. However,
in 2021, it lost 64.5ha of natural forest, equivalent to 41.9kt of CO₂ emissions. Between 2001 and
2021, forests in Siocon emitted 119ktCO₂e/year, and removed -107ktCO₂e/year. This represents
a net carbon flux of 12.1ktCO₂e/year. An average of 119kt per year was released into the
atmosphere as a result of tree cover loss. In total, 2.50Mt of CO₂e was emitted in this period.

To facilitate local-scale planning, the following tables containing provincial-scale climate

extremes data are provided by the DOST-PAGASA as they regularly conduct climate modeling
initiatives, in collaboration with domestic and international partners to better understand climate
change and its effects in the country.

 2.2.1. Potential Impacts
The manifestations of climate change in the form of sea level rise, storm surge, drought,
flooding, stronger and intensified typhoons, and climate change-related outbreaks have impacts
on the municipality’s population, natural resource production areas, urban use areas, critical point
facilities, and lifeline utilities.

At the same time, the potential impacts of climate change in the different systems of interest
of the municipality are presented in the table as per result of Climate and Disaster Risk
Assessment.

 2.3. Risk Assessment by Type of Hazard
The Municipality of Siocon is susceptible to disaster and hazard risks. Siocon populace are
in constant threat of flood and considered as its highest risk in terms of natural disaster and
followed with rain-induced landslide that has some smaller direct victims but also high effect in
terms economic activity as roads are blocked that prevent the free flow of goods; tsunami and
storm surges as there are coastal barangays and armed attack. Table below illustrates the areas
vulnerable to hazard and disaster risks.

 2.3.1. Flooding
Twenty (20) out of the twenty-six (26) barangays of the municipality experience flooding due
to river and creek siltation. Majority of the population lived in the lowland area which is a mixed up
of high risk and low risk areas. A high density of the population lives in the high risk areas affected
by their economic condition to locate for a lower standard of living.

 2.3.2. Rain induced landslide
Rain Induced Landslides (RIL) are downward and outward movement of materials caused
by floods and excessive rain. It is a geological phenomenon which includes a wide range of ground
movement, such as rockfalls, deep failure of slopes and shallow debris flows, which can occur in
offshore, coastal and onshore environments. Although the action of gravity is the primary driving
force for a landslide to occur, there are other contributing factors affecting the original slope
stability.

Landslide were always experience in the upland barangays and affect residences built along
the roads with high slopes or in areas with the presence of tension cracks that is vulnerable during
heavy downpour. Fifteen (15) barangays are susceptible to landslide and occasionally experience
landslide especially during heavy downpour of rains. This is both upland and lowland area.

Landslides usually occur along the National Highway in Barangay Sta. Maria, Barangay
Roads along D. Riconalla, Tabayo and Candiz. With continues rains and heavy downpours;
landslides could leave the municipality isolated for days. Landslides that are results to destroyed
nature contributed by human abuse to the environment.

2.3.3. Earthquake/ Ground Shaking

Ground shaking is a hazard created by seismic earth movements. During an earthquake,
seismic waves travel rapidly away from the source and through the earth’s crust. There are three
susceptibilities of earthquake in the municipality ranging from low to high susceptibility and those
areas with not susceptible at all with earthquake. Those areas which are not susceptible to
earthquake has the biggest area with 44,093.48 hectares while low susceptible areas has
4,097.29 hectares and areas comprising the 2,129.23 hectares are those with high susceptibility
to earthquake. Table below shows the level of susceptibility with their corresponding areas in the
municipality of Siocon.

Based on the records, the municipality has not yet reported any casualty or damage of
properties with regards to earthquakes and ground shakings.

 Figure 29. Seismicity Map

2.3.4. Drought
Siocon had also been a victim of dry spells and droughts/El Niño since 1990 to the present
which tremendously reduced crop production of farmers. The crop production area of the
municipality of Siocon is moderately vulnerable to drought with a vulnerability index value of 0.587
or moderate. Its sensitivity value is 0.46 percent (moderate) with the following indicators
considered: absence of El Nino for the year (0-2 -very low); high presence of intermittent rivers
and streams; high dependency of agricultural lands on irrigation (31-40%); and long duration of
drought from three to four months (high). Likewise, the municipality has high exposure to drought
with 0.69 value influenced by the following indicators: 61-80 percent of production areas are
affected by the last two occurrences of drought; and a high percentage of yield losses due to
drought (61-70%). The adaptive capacity of the municipality is valued at 0.6 or moderate; 41
percent to less than 21 percent of farmlands with small irrigation programs; and only 21 percent
to less than 10 percent adopts crop diversification.

2.3.5. Vehicular Accidents

As per the record taken from the office of the Municipal Police Station, the number of road
accidents that takes place in the last six years is 49 unevenly happened in the different barangays
of the town. Out of the total number of these road accidents, the highest number of incidents

SIOCON MDRRMP CY 2023-2025 45

 occurred in the Poblacion. It can be noticed that the nature of the accident with the highest number
of an incident based on collision type is Self-Accident and largely happen within the Poblacion and
in its adjacent barangay. Usually these result in minor & serious injuries accidents, property
damage, fatal death, and multiple injuries.

2.3.6. Tsunami/ Storm Surge

A storm surge is a rise above the usual water level along the shore that is the result of
strong onshore winds and/or reduced atmospheric pressure; the actual surge height is the
difference of the observed water level minus the predicted tide.

The municipality is susceptible to tsunami/storm surge/sea level rise thus making this
community’s economy and safety vulnerable. There are seven (7) coastal communities that will
be directly affected by tsunami or storm surge. As well as the nearby communities, such the
Poblacion, M. Fracisco, and Manaol.

2.3.7. Fire
Like any other municipality, Siocon is prone to man-made hazards such as fire. Congestion
of houses, houses that are made of light materials, and kaingin activities in the upland areas are
the main causes of fire incidents in the municipality.

As per record from the Bureau of Fire Protection Sub-Station, fire incidence in Siocon is
decreasing from the past six years. The highest number of fire incidence takes place in 2016 with
eighteen (18) cases. All of the origin of the fire is accidental.

2.3.8. Armed Attack

Opposing threats operating in the Municipality of Siocon particularly the MILF seems to be
observant of the on-going peace process initiated by the government while few coming from the
MNLF was monitored to be supportive to Misuari Breakaway Group. At present, peace situation
in the municipality of Siocon and its adjacent municipalities are relatively normal.

2.3.9. Spread of Infectious Diseases

With “new normal” making a comeback in the time of COVID-19, the term’s convenient
association with many things disaster and the daily conundrum of how to make things better in
terms of our collective response. This pandemic, following a cursory risk assessment exercise, is
on all fronts a disaster. The hazard’s innate properties; our personal, organizational, and system
vulnerabilities; exposure; and most importantly, the overall capacity of Philippine society to offset
the negative consequences of COVID-19 make it so.

Covid-19 does not stop other disasters from happening but the pandemic leads us to shift
and adjust on how to prepare for them. The global impact of COVID-19 has required planners
around the world to adapt quickly and recognize the importance of a robust plan to remain resilient
and responsive to conditions. A comprehensive disaster plan at a minimum contains three major
elements: The Risk Analysis, the Emergency Response Plan, and the Recovery Plan. Each plan
represents a separate phase in the emergency preparedness cycle and should be considered
uniquely with the indefinite threat of COVID-19.

of terms including ‘predisposition’, ‘fragility’,
‘weakness’, ‘deficiency’ or ‘lack of capacity’.
All the hazards that affect the municipality
had a high impact on all systems of interest
being considered during the climate and
disaster risk assessment undertaken by the
LGU. The five systems of interest are
population, natural resource production area,
urban use area, critical point facilities, and
lifeline utilities. Impacts of such hazards may
result in either loss of lives or damage to
properties. Although the municipality is doing
all efforts to prepare and mitigate the effects
of disaster, there are still underlying reasons
which are beyond the control of the
government. Vulnerability in this plan relates
to these factors:

Given its coastal location and rivers around it,
Siocon is greatly vulnerable to the impacts of
climate change and has already experienced
noticeable adverse effects in recent years.
Adding to it, poor environmental management
and unregulated consumption of natural
resources are one of the environmental
factors that increase the vulnerability of the
locality. Many are still irresponsible in
managing their waste making drainage
systems as dumping areas. The clogging of
canals, drainage system, and streams due to
the mismanagement of solid wastes create a

municipality greater possibility of flooding due to stagnant

 surface runoff during heavy rains. Silted river beds contribute to vulnerability during calamities as
this will cause flooding. Another noticeable in this factor is the absence of cooperation of the
people in the implementation of environmental policies. Despite the buffer zone policies, many
constituents still violate the policy, which contributes to their vulnerability.

2.5. Capacity
The municipality’s adaptive capacity relies on regular services, programmes, national
policies, and civil society organization networks for support. Current measures addressing disaster
risks are mandate-driven and concentrate on social services disaster responses directed towards
addressing the impacts of hazards. This is evident in the policies, programs and projects pursued
by the municipality. The following are the present capacities of the LGU to lessen the impacts of
hazards:

2.5.1. Coordination
In order to accomplish the objectives of disaster risk reduction and to provide the necessary
services of the affected population of hazards, the LGU have an organized response system. In
dealing with a “worst case scenario” of the hazard, it is expected that various government agencies
and CSOs will be operating to provide resources and services for response and recovery.
Therefore, in order for the LGU to be able to properly manage the influx of resources and services,
a systems that will dictate the best arrangements for efficient and effective coordination, command
and control must be in place. In the contingency plans of each hazard, the following clusters had
been identified, with determined composition, specific objectives, roles and responsibilities,
protocols and needs and activities. The table below present the summary of identified clusters
which will be activated on the onset of disaster.

 2.5.2. Command and Control
The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) of the Municipality of Siocon is the repository of
information and the main hub for the coordination of the MDRRMC. It serves as the main
communication link for all responding units, receives emergency and non-emergency calls,
dispatches calls to a concerned responding unit and receives data and reports from responding
units. The Emergency Operations Center shall be activated upon the issuance of an alert level
from the Provincial DRRMO and based on the findings of the Pre-Disaster Risk Assessment
(PDRA).

The Municipal Incident Management Team that will carry out the tactical operations of the
clusters is as follows:

of the EOC to communicate their guidance to the IMT. The IMT then undertakes tactical operations
based on the directives from the EOC. The IMT also reports back to the EOC about situation
updates on the ground. The clusters will continue to coordinate with the IMT via the EOC to provide
assistance especially in terms of resource mobilization.

2.5.4. Programs & Projects

The municipality’s lessons from the experience of the past disasters have improved the
community’s risk reduction responses, as seen in the foregoing measures that it has been
pursuing. Various programs and projects had been implemented to mitigate and lessen the
impacts of hazards. The implementation of buffers along the shoreline and the edges of the rivers
is one of the ongoing programs of the LGU. The construction of a drainage system and efforts to
extend flood control projects within the Siocon river is very visible. In terms of hazard, the
municipality is most intense on averting its impacts and least equipped for sea level rises and
drought. By sector, the social sector posted the highest level of adaptive capacity as seen in the
focus on climate change-related outbreaks hazards solutions and considering its short-term and
disaster-response paradigm adopted for its services. The infrastructure sector has the lowest level
of adaptive capacity, seeing the limited financial resources of the municipality to put up an effective
and sufficient structural solution for water-related hazards. The economic sector is in the medium
score since its capacity heavily relies on the performance of infrastructure sectors, which generally
scored low in many of the hazards identified.

aimed at addressing current and reducing future risks. It is about access, use and application of
science in risk reduction and management work – from assessment to early warning actions. Also,
this thematic pillar is about the institutionalization of risk financing mechanisms for both ex ante
and ex post actions, emphasizing the complementarity of resources to help strengthen resilience.

Goal Address current and reduce future risks of communities and

government through mainstreaming integrated risk management into
science, policy and practice.

 THEMATIC AREA 2: DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
Overall steering and leadership - MDRRMO

Disaster Preparedness provides for key strategic actions that give importance to community
awareness and understanding, contingency planning, conduct of local drills, competency building
for survival and rescue, and the development of needed disaster preparedness and response
plans. In preparing communities and governments for possible disasters, pre-determined needs
based on information available are crucial. Risk- related information coming from the Prevention
and Mitigation aspect is necessary in order for preparedness activities to be responsive to the
needs of the people and situation on the ground. Also, policies, budget, and institutional
mechanisms established under the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation aspect will be further
enhanced through capacity building activities, development of coordination mechanisms, among
others. Through these, coordination, complementation, and interoperability of work in DRRM
operations and essential services will be ensured.

Considering the diversity of risks confronting the country in recent years, the need for
stronger mechanisms on preparedness for response is also underscored in this pillar. The
activities identified under this pillar also seek to ensure functional and responsive systems that
are ready in the event of disasters. The crafting of operational guidelines and protocols for the
implementation of forecast-based early actions is deemed necessary to bolster the capacities and
expand the assets of local actors to effectively and efficiently prepare for and respond to disasters.

Goal Establish and strengthen capacities of governments, communities,

CSOs, and private sector to anticipate, cope, and recover from the
adverse impacts of hazards and potential cascading disasters, and
minimize losses and disruption of daily life.
Objectives: • Increase the level of awareness and understanding of communities in
hazards, exposure, and vulnerabilities;
• Equip institutions, communities, families, and individuals with the
necessary skills to respond and cope with the adverse impacts of
disasters;
• Increase the capacity of institutions for risk governance to avert loss of
lives and assets;
• Strengthen partnership among all key actors and stakeholders; and,
• Develop and implement comprehensive and mutually- reinforcing
national and local disaster preparedness and response plans and
systems.

 THEMATIC AREA 3: DISASTER RESPONSE AND EARLY RECOVERY
Overall steering and leadership - MDRRMO

Disaster Response provides for key actions that give importance to activities during the
actual disaster response operations such as needs assessment, search and rescue, relief
operations, and early recovery activities. The activities identified below will be done either before
the actual response operations or during the disaster event. For those activities that need to be
completed prior to actual response operations, they will be linked to activities earlier identified in
the preparedness aspect. However, to ensure that the proper response “lens” is issued in doing
said activities, they have been included in this aspect. Overall, the success and realization of this
priority area rely heavily on the completion of the activities under both the prevention and
mitigation and preparedness aspects.

Goal Provide risk- based, timely and anticipatory response actions to

address basic, life- preservation and immediate needs of
communities and government. Also, affected communities/
populations are able to continue life with dignity and prevent or
minimize exacerbation of emergency situations.
Objectives: • To activate emergency operations center equipped with response
workforce and volunteers;
• To activate risk and forecast-based financing to forecasted
affected communities
• To evacuate safely, preemptively and immediately, affected
communities and ensure their safety;
• To ensure the timely, effective and well-coordinated response
action and humanitarian logistics among cluster members and
other actors;
• To ensure adequate, prompt and well-coordinated assessment of
needs and damages;
• To immediately and temporarily restore basic needs; and,
• To establish and implement an integrated system for early
recovery.

 THEMATIC AREA 4: DISASTER REHABILITATION AND RECOVERY
Overall steering and leadership - MDRRMO

The Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery aspect covers recovery efforts related to
employment and livelihoods, infrastructure and lifeline facilities, and housing and resettlement to
bring the affected area back to normal as quickly as possible.

Specifically for the Priority Area of Disaster Response and Rehabilitation and Recovery,
Operational Timelines are used primarily to give an overall guidance on the “rapid” time element
in providing humanitarian activities and recovering from disasters. Likewise, the operational
timelines will guide the plan’s implementation and monitoring activities for the two priority areas.
These operational timelines for disaster rehabilitation and recovery are as follows:

Immediate Term (IT) - Within 1 year after the occurrence of the disaster
Short-term (ST) - Within 1 to 3 years after the occurrence of the disaster
Medium-term (MT) - Within 3 to 6 years after the occurrence of the disaster
Long-term (LT) - Beyond 6 years after the occurrence of the disaster

Goal Speed up recovery from disaster losses through rehabilitation and

recovery programs that are aligned to sustainable development
and “build back better” principle
Objectives: • Assess damage, losses, and damage needs during disasters as
basis for the formulation of rehabilitation and recovery program; and,
• Develop short- and medium-term rehabilitation and recovery plans,
aligned with or contributing to the medium- and long-term local
development plan.
Outcomes: 18. Clear policy directions for rehabilitation and recovery
19. Sustainable and socially inclusive income sources for households
are made available and stability of economic activities restored
20. Agricultural production is restored or increased and support
services for farmers, fisher folks, and laborers are made
accessible
21. Affected families or individuals have access to: (a) affordable
disaster-resilient housing that are located in safe zones where
social services and public facilities are available; or, (b) financial
assistance to rebuild houses in areas that are declared safe zones
22. Affected individuals, families, and communities have access to
responsive, appropriate and adequate education, health, and
social protection services
23. Disaster resilient standards in infrastructure are observed during
rehabilitation and recovery

TRIAGING

The objectives of this triaging system is to quickly identify victims needing immediate
stabilization on transport and the level of care needed by these victims by assessing airway,
breathing and circulation(ABAS).

Ideally, the following should be contained in the patients color tag:

1. Patients sequence number
2. Name of patient
3. Injuries identified
4. Previous interventions given at the scene

RED TAG GREEN TAG

First Priority-Life Threatening- Needs to Third priority: Requires no immediate

be Treated 1-3 hours treatment, can be delayed
a) Obstruction/Damage of airways
b) Breathing disturbance a) Minor injuries
c) Circulation disturbance b) Minor fractures
d) Altered level of consciousness
e) External bleeding with CVS collapse
BLACK TAG
