CHAPTER I. BACKGROUND
A. Introduction
“Strategic planning will help you fully uncover your available options set priorities for them
and define methods to achieve them.” – Robert J. Mckain. We take measures, list possibilities,
expect different kinds of outcomes, in short, we do something ahead of time to reduce the risks
we may encounter in the future as a DRRM personnel. Planning is essential in our field because
we know we can’t control the future, but we also know we can be prepared for it. That is why,
Sta. Isabel Elementary School of Cabiao, Nueva Ecija created this contingency plan aims to be
ready when a flashflood or flood occur.
The school is situated at Sta. Isabel, Cabiao, Nueva Ecija and it is only a few kilometers
near the Pampanga River. On the past 7-10 years, the barangay has experienced floods after
strong typhoons because it is near the river. The flood reaches 4-5 meters above ground level.
According to Reliefweb, A flash flood occurs when water overflows on or inundates land that is
normally dry. Rivers can overflow their banks to cause flooding, and sea waters can be pushed
towards land by massive winds, which then cause flooding. Rainfalls over an extended period
can cause major rivers to overflow their banks. Rivers can overflow their banks, causing flooding
during heavy rains, severe storms, and dam breaks. Huge amounts of water flowing in rivers are
due to incessant heavy rains and melting of snow, resulting in severe flooding. Flash flood
normally happens during the monsoon season. Around this time, potholes can overflow fast,
breaking and damaging the river banks. Generally, most flash flooding can be caused by a
number of things due to slow-moving thunderstorms or multiple of thunderstorms moving over
the same area. Flash floods often carry away some trees along the river, and these floods can
destroy buildings, roads, bridges, etc. Flash flooding can have devastating consequences and
can have effects on the economy, environment, and its people. During floods, especially flash
flooding, houses, offices, hospitals, transportation, roads, bridges, and water tanks are
destroyed. People become homeless. Additionally, the government deploys firemen, police, and
other emergency apparatuses to the affected areas. It usually takes years for affected
communities to be rebuilt and resettle in order to get back to normalcy. The environment also
suffers when floods occur. Moreover, chemicals and other hazardous substances end up in the
water and eventually contaminate the water bodies that floods end up in. In addition, flooding
can destroy the natural balance of the ecosystem.
Many people and animals have perished in flash floods and others have been made
homeless. Thus, they have to take shelter at the temporary relief centers, schools, halls, and
monasteries. Flooding brings a lot of diseases and infections including fever, pneumonia, and
dysentery. The consequences of events triggered by flash flooding usually overwhelm local
response capacity and seriously affect the social and economic development of the country. As
for the authorities concerned, concerted efforts are being made to provide necessary assistance
to these flood victims nationwide. The collaboration between governments, NGOs, CSOs, and
donors plays a pivotal role in fulfilling their requirements and returning these regions to a better
than normal condition. That is why it is important to anticipate that when a strong typhoon is
reported to hit the province, a flood or a flash flood is possible to take place. This calls for
immediate preparation through strategic planning for disaster risk reduction in relation to the
flood or flash flood.
In connection with this, Sta. Isabel Elementary School is continuing its preparation for a
flood or flash flood that happened and affected the school. This contingency plan is a great help
for preparation, prevention of worst scenarios, and mitigation towards the safety of the school
and the community too.

Sta. Isabel Elementary School is exposed to five (4) natural hazards: Typhoon, Flashflood, Earthquake, and (2) human
induced or natural hazards: Fire, and COVID-19. Flashflood is ranked 2 nd in the hazards that most likely will happen in Sta. Isabel
Elementary School with high potential for damaging the school.

C. Hazard to Plan for FLASHFLOOD OR FLOOD
The possibility that Barangay Sta. Isabel may experience a flood or a flashflood is high thus, the school must be alert at all
times and must be prepared though early warning systems, orientations about what to do before, during, and after flood occur, and
must have good coordination with the local government.
