IMPORTANT POINT
An early warning must be given
quickly and ahead of time so that
individuals and families could act
accordingly
IMPORTANT POINT
Early warning symbols/signals
and corresponding actions must
be understood by all (what it
means and its implications),
especially by the most vulnerable
groups.

) Warning
System (EWS)
• “information, advisory, and
warning to individuals, groups,
or populations on:
•
(1) the existence of danger, and
(2) what can be done to prevent,
avoid, or minimize danger
HOW DO WE GIVE WARNING?

EWS MECHANISMS FOR PWDS
• Auditory signals or alarms
(sirens, bells, drums, etc.)
• Visual signals with lighting
during night time
– Flags, posters written with
large characters or at least
3-centimeter letters for 3-
meter viewing distance,
pictures that are color-
contrasted, etc.; clear and
brief announcements

Looking back…
DISASTER TIMELINE
Review the worst disaster in the timeline :
How did the disaster happen?
Was there a warning before the hazard/disaster
occurred??
Sino at saan naapektuhan ng disaster?
What areas were affected? Who were the hit the
worst?
What was the pre-cursor to the disaster or what were
the signs before the impact of the hazard was felt?

INITIAL CHECKLIST FOR TSUNAMI PREPAREDNESS (2)
Does your community conduct tsunami drills?
Is there an established community-based tsunami warning
system?
Is there a long-term development plan where tsunami risk
reduction measures are incorporated?
Is there a plan on how to sustain the efforts in the long-
term?
Are members of the community involved in tsunami
preparedness…
(a)To educate everyone about evacuation scheme?
(b)To inform everyone with things they can do to
increase community safety
