Abstract / Executive Summary
This learning plan is designed to foster a deeper understanding of Disaster Readiness and Risk
Reduction in the Philippines. The following objectives are set to be accomplished by the end of the lesson:
A. identify the various types of disasters and their respective characteristics;
B. comprehend the risk factors associated with different types of disaster;
C. apply principles of disaster readiness and response;
D. explain the Sustainable Development Goals connected to the Philippine Disaster Risk.
These goals are aligned with the 11th Sustainable Development Goal, which aims to make cities and human
settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable and the 13th goal which is to take urgent action to combat climate
change and its impacts. Given the susceptibility of the Philippines to different types of disasters, this learning plan can
provide valuable insights on enhancing resilience and adaptability during times of disasters. Its purpose is to minimize
losses and facilitate faster recovery.
The target audience for this learning plan is the Grade 12 students of Asia Pacific College. The lesson will commence
with an icebreaker activity called the “Family Feud” or other gamified icebreakers. The class will be divided into teams
with an equal number of students, depending on the class size. This game will cover essential facts about the Philippine
disaster risk and will last approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
Following the icebreaker, the lesson will proceed to the core content. Simulations and interactive questioning will
be employed to create a learner-centered environment. To further enhance engagement, an interactive simulation game
titled “Legends of Learning: Robo Ready” (accessible at https://www.legendsoflearning.com/learningobjectives/natural-
hazards/) will be utilized.
Lastly, a short assessment will be conducted using this game, “Stop Disaster!”, of UN Office for Disaster Risk
Reduction. Access to this game can be obtained through this link:
