DRRM-H San Fernando (Draft)
Thank You!
There are many productive ways to meet the challenges of doing more with less for
now.
Let us join hands and start transforming into a resilient community. Help the health
sector – cooperate and lead.
We hereby submit this Disaster Risk Reduction Management Plan for Health with a
positive outlook and passionate zeal in which we invite all constituents in the
Municipality of San Fernando to come and be with us in achieving this goal.
Preparedness in terms of being able to cope with disasters is one of the most
important aspects of a resilient local government unit of which San Fernando is aiming
for. With disasters and emergencies occurring anytime, it is just but timely that we
need to be ready at all times for us to be able to respond accordingly to prevent a long
term effects and irreversible damage. With this disaster plan for health, I fervently
hope this will be our guide in our future actions to mitigate health emergencies.
The Disaster Risk Reduction Management Plan for Health of the Municipality of San
Fernando, Cebu fulfills the requirement of the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Act of 2010 otherwise referred as Republic Act No. 10121. The
formulation of this plan is in accordance with Republic Act No. 10121 stating, “An Act
strengthening the Philippines Disaster Risk Reduction and Management System,
providing for the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Framework and
Institutionalizing the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan,
appropriating funds and therefore and for other purposes.”
The purpose of the plan is to continue strengthening disaster risk reduction to prevent
deaths, diseases, disabilities, and the psychosocial impact of emergencies and
disasters through people-centered actions and cross-cutting approaches. The plan
aims to improve the safety of integrated health services networks through the
application of public health safety and approaches to climate change in the planning,
design, construction, and operation of such services.
The DRRM-H plan of San Fernando, Cebu fully recognizes the principles, thrust and
vision articulated in the National Disaster Risk Reduction Strategy Framework and in
the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan (NDRRMP) 2011-2028
which serves as the national guide for achieving sustainable development by building
the adaptive capacities of communities, increasing the resilience of vulnerable sectors,
and optimizing disaster mitigation opportunities. The Local Government of San
Fernando adheres to the concept of growth, development and risk reduction that
should be inclusive, rights-based and gender responsive as enshrined in the national
framework.
The DRRM-H plan of San Fernando, Cebu also encourages pragmatic contingency
measures characterized by community self-reliance through partnership among public
officials, their constituents, and the private sector. The plan is functional and action
oriented. The effectiveness of the Municipality of San Fernando climate change
adaptation and mitigation actions and disaster preparedness largely depends on the
skills of the locales, local resources and the nature and extent of involvement of the
private sector and the public. Assistance from the provincial, regional, and national
level authorities may be sought when the need arises.
The major references in the preparation of the Plan include the following:
• National DRRM Plan based on Republic Act 10121 of 2010 that provides a legal basis
for policies, plans and programs to deal with disasters.
• Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act 11223 or the Universal
Healthcare Act - stressed the need to adopt an integrated disaster risk reduction and
management (DRRM) and climate change mitigation and adaptation approach and to
develop province-wide and city-wide health systems (P/CWHS) with timely, effective,
and efficient preparedness and response to public health emergencies and disasters;
thus, ensuring delivery of essential population-based health services
• The Philippine Disaster Management System from the Office of Civil Defense –
National Disaster Coordinating Council (OCD-NDCC)
The legal provisions of DRRM-H Planning is RA 101211 Section 2, which states, “it is the policy
of the state to mainstream disaster risk reduction and climate change in development
processes such as policy formulation, socio-economic development planning, budgeting and
governance particularly in the areas of environment, water, energy, health, education,
poverty reduction, land-use and urban planning and public infrastructure and housing among
others.”
In accordance with the NDRRMP, the country aims to have a “safer, adaptive and
disaster resilient Filipino communities.” This will be achieved through the four distinct
yet mutually reinforcing areas, namely:
PLAN DEFINITION

1. TOPOGRAPHY
The geophysical feature of San Fernando, Cebu is generally hilly with high mountains
in the western part (upland) of the municipality covering fourteen (14) barangays and
with a coastal area covering seven (7) barangays comprising the total land area of
7,707.83 hectares.
The municipality has a number of springs and rivers, and these are considered the
water sources that usually flow in valleys in between high hills and mountains. It has
also waterfalls that require further protection of its watershed areas. High mountains
and slopes with less forest cover, its rivers as subject to flood during rainy seasons and
typhoons. Heavy rainfall even without any declared typhoon signals causes the rivers
to swell and slides along highways and roads, thereby making some areas subject to
flood resulting rescue and evacuation difficult.

Disaster History
There is no recorded major disaster in the historical timeline of the Municipality of San
Fernando.
Typhoon
There are two types of monsoon winds in the Philippines, the southwest monsoon
(May-October) or known as the “Habagat”, and the dry winds of the northeast
monsoon (November-April) called the “Amihan”. The Habagat season is characterized
by cold and hot humid weather, frequent heavy rainfall, and typhoons with a
prevailing wind from the west. The Amihan season is characterized by hot
temperatures, little or no rainfall, and a prevailing wind from the east.
San Fernando is susceptible to typhoons where strong winds will expect to damage
houses and infrastructures, business utilities, agriculture farms and other possible
source of livelihood of the populace.
Storm Surge
A storm surge is the temporary rise of sea level above that of the predicted tide. It is
caused by strong winds and low atmospheric pressure associated with the passage of
a typhoon. The period of a storm surge varies from a few minutes to a few hours
depending on the speed of the typhoon. Storm surges can have negative impacts on
the fishery, corals, seagrasses, mangroves, and sanctuary. Storm surge can exert
adverse impacts on San Fernando particularly when coinciding with typhoons. The
strong and rushing water current can cause erosion and siltation along water channels
in the south of the island (including the sanctuary) and shoreline.
Barangays Pitalo, San Isidro, North Poblacion, Sangat and Balud have high vulnerability
to storm surge. Moderate to high vulnerability is noted in Barangays South Poblacion,
Panadtaran, Magsico, Tubod, Balungag, Tabionan, Liburon, Lantawan and South
Poblacion.
Flooding
A flood is an overflow of an expanse of water that submerges land not normally
covered with water. Flooding may result from the volume of water within a body of
While all barangays are vulnerable to flooding, Barangays Magsico, Tubod, Balungag,
Tabionan, Liburon, Lantawan, South Poblacion, Sangat and Pitalo are noted to have
moderate to high vulnerability.
Rain-induced Landslide
Landslides may occur due to limestone elements in some areas and high slopes
conditions. Upland barangays are exposed to this hazard. Continued heavy rainfall
will trigger both flooding and landslides. The Geo-hazard map depicted an exposed
3,374,305 hectares under high and 2,866.84 hectares’ moderately susceptibility to
landslides. The indiscriminate cutting of trees and the continued mining activities are
among the man-made causes that contributed to the landslide’s risks.
In the Municipality of San Fernando, all barangays are susceptible to landslides. In July
2019, a landslide occurred at the boundary of Barangays Tabionan and Tinubdan in
San Fernando which caused inconvenience to motorists since they were advised to
take alternate routes as the road is still obstructed with the eroded mass of soil.
All barangays are vulnerable to landslide, while Barangays Ilaya, Tañanas, Tinubdan,
Basak, Tonggo, Lantawan and Greenhills have high vulnerability.
Liquefaction
Liquefaction is a phenomenon associated with earthquakes. It is the transformation
of stable soil into a fluid due to intense ground shaking. Liquefaction renders the
ground incapable of supporting structures.
Some barangays have strong potential for liquefaction. The soil in these areas is
characterized as poorly consolidated overlays. Seven (7) Barangays are susceptible to
liquefaction. These are Barangays Balud, Panadtaran, Pitalo, Poblacion North,
Poblacion South, San Isidro and Sangat.
Temperature Increase
The Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment (CCVA) signaled that increases in
temperatures are expected to affect the coastal and marine ecosystems, upland areas,
urban and ecological conditions. For the coastal ecosystem, warmer ocean
temperature results in degradation of marine and aquatic resources including coral
Drought
Drought is a prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall, leading to a shortage of
water. There was a prolonged El Niño in 2015-2016, the wells in the cities and province
of Cebu were drying up and seawater has been seeping into the deep wells. The
persistent shortage has led government officials to propose buying water from nearby
Bohol Island but was opposed by local officials of Bohol.
Droughts are observed in seven (7) Barangays in San Fernando, namely Balud,
Panadtaran, Pitalo, Poblacion North, Poblacion South, San Isidro and Sangat.
Heavy Rainfall
Heavy rainfall increases the risk to surface run-off resulting to soil erosion and river
siltation and this is also being aggravated by bad farming practices.
What does it take to ensure that adaptation planning has a scientific basis? Firstly, we
need to be able to investigate the potential consequences of anthropogenic or human
induced climate change and to do this, a plausible future climate based on a reliable
and accurate baseline (or present) climate must be constructed. This is what climate
scientists call a climate change scenario. It is a projection of the response of the
climate system to future emissions or concentrations of greenhouse gases and
aerosols and is simulated using climate models. Essentially, it describes possible future
changes in climate variables (such as temperatures, rainfall, storminess, winds, etc.)
based on baseline climatic conditions.
Many municipalities and cities in the Philippines are interested in having a climate
change data customized to their locality. This applies especially if these Local
Government Unit (LGUs) have diverse topography (e.g., lowlands and mountains) like
the case of the Municipality of San Fernando, Cebu.
Below are the results of local climate change projection of the Municipality of San
Fernando, Cebu with the following scenarios:
Precipitation Changes –The graph below, downscaled global climate model disagree
to some extent about the future trends for rain in San Fernando, Cebu. Low confidence
in prediction. No increase in annual rain until the middle of the century (~2,500mm).
trends for extreme rain events cannot be deducted from the models.
Precipitation Changes from Climate Change Scenarios in % for year 2020 and 2050
respectively for San Fernando.
Mean Temperature –Mean temperature increase of more or less 0.5 degree Celsius
until 2020s are very likely and about 1.0 degree Celsius until 2050s in San Fernando,
Cebu. Little direct relevance for natural disasters, but probably for other aspects
(water supply, agriculture, health).

Sea level Rise – According to the IPCC it is very likely that mean sea level rise will
contribute to upward trend in extreme coastal high water levels I the future. There is
high confidence that locations currently experiencing adverse impacts such as coastal
erosion and inundation will continue to do so in the future due to increasing sea levels,
all other contributing factors being equal.
The seven (7) coastal barangays are vulnerable to sea level rise, but the degree of
exposure and susceptibility decreases in Barangays San Isidro, Panadtaran, and Balud
due to the presence of mangroves.

These climatic variabilities may lead public health diseases outbreak, pest infestation
to agricultural crops and some environmental problem. In the Municipality of San
Fernando in Cebu, the scenarios below are most likely to happen:
Disease Outbreak:
A disease outbreak is the occurrence of cases of disease more than what would
normally be expected in a defined community, geographical area, or season. An
outbreak may occur in a restricted geographical area or may extend over across
provinces. It may last for a few days or weeks, or for several years.
The most possible outbreaks that may occur in the municipality of San Fernando are
dengue fever, diarrhea, and typhoid. Dengue fever is an infectious tropical disease
caused by the dengue virus. Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle and joint
In 2015, there was a 200 percent increase in dengue fever cases in the Province of
Cebu which prompted the Cebu Provincial Board to declare a dengue outbreak in the
whole province. The Municipality of San Fernando was among the top ten areas in the
province of Cebu that reported the greatest number of dengue cases with 238 cases
and 1 death.
In 2016, San Fernando registered 238 cases, with one death. In 2018, the municipality
was still among the top ten areas in Cebu Province that reported the greatest number
of dengue cases in 2018. In the same year, the LGU firmed up the following major
components in dengue surveillance: vector surveillance and monitoring of
environmental and social risks.
Diarrhea is the condition of having three or more loose or liquid bowel movements
per day. It is a common cause of death in developing countries and the second most
common cause of infant deaths worldwide. The loss of fluids through diarrhea can
cause dehydration and electrolyte disturbances such as potassium deficiency or other
salt imbalances.
Fire disasters in the Philippines are estimated to have affected 94,875 people in 2010.
The Philippines Disasters report (2010) indicates that fires were the second highest
cause of casualties from a disaster with 43 deaths (CDRC, 2010). What the report fails
to show is any explanation of what constitutes a disaster and distinctions between
different types of fires such as urban or wildfires. Figure 11 shows the distribution of
fatalities from disasters in 2010 in the Philippines. Fires cause nearly twice as many
deaths as flooding.

Grass Fire:
Grass/Forest Fire become a disaster when combustion of carbon-based materials and
oxygen goes out of control and spread fast, threatening human life, homes and other
structures. Fires also affect agricultural crops, forest vegetation, and livestock during
dry seasons. Forest fire can be ignited by lightning during a sudden storm. It could also
be caused by burning agricultural wastes in adjoining farms or grazing areas without
fire breaks.
The top emitter in the world is China, with an average GHG emissions of 7,666 MtCO2
and a global share of 17.15%. It is followed by the United States of America with GHG
emissions of 6,668 MtCO2 and a global share of 14.91%. Other countries in the top 5
emitters are Russia, India, and Indonesia with average GHG emissions of 2,721 MtCO2,
2,103 MtCO2 and 1,912 MtCO2, respectively.
In Southeast Asia, Myanmar comes second to Indonesia with 562 MtCO2 and with a
global share of 1.26% while the rest of the countries only account for 1% of the world
total.
The Philippines, which is considered as a net emitter of GHGs, ranked 6th in the region
with a share of only 0.31% of the world total. From 1990 to 2010, the Philippines’ GHG
emissions were still below the 200 MtCO2 level growing annually by 3.25% on the
average for the past 20 years.
San Fernando’s ELA states that air pollution, particularly in the Poblacion, are mainly
due to build-up of pollutants from large vehicular population and the presence of two
cement plants. Significant contributory factors to urban air pollution are activities
which arise from uncontrolled burning of waste and improper incineration. The
principal sources of water pollution in urban areas are sewage, domestic, industrial
wastes, garbage, refuse pesticides and other chemicals.
Among the municipal goals to address the above issues are to: Increase pocket forest
areas in Alien and Disposable (A&D) lands, forest lands and mangrove areas, and
effectively implement their approved Forest Land Use Plan (FLUP). To achieve and
maintain clean and healthy air, the municipality intends to ensure the protection of
These are the contributions of San Fernando in the GHG reduction effort of Central
Visayas Region.

Household based hazard specific evacuation centers was considered as important information in CDRA to identify gaps in terms of available
evacuation centers in the Municipality of San Fernando. And it is important to note that it should be hazard specific to consider the lesson of
super typhoon Haiyan that people evacuated in an evacuation center that they think that are sturdy and can withstand strong winds from
typhoon, but unfortunately it was not safe for storm surge that cause the tremendous casualties in Tacloban City.
In the table below, shows the exposures of vulnerable sectors to certain climatic variability scenarios. This is a very good information for the
LGUs in formulating and effective and efficient climate change adaptation and mitigation plan that will benefit to human and social capital of

RECORDS OF DISASTERS:
This tool has been used in CDRA to recall the severity of impact of every disaster that happens in the municipality for the past 20-30 years. This
is very important for the community to undergo such activity to establish the worst-case scenarios based on their actual experience in the past,
so that they can now foresee the possible damages and the important things they need to do to prepare or to adapt future scenarios. Below are
the results of record of disasters happen in the Municipality of San Fernando in Cebu.

San Fernando
The Municipality of San Fernando comprises a total area of 7,707.83 hectares covering
twenty-one (21) barangays. It has an equivalent area for forestland of 20 hectares
comprising .26% of its total land area. A vast majority of the actual forestland use of
San Fernando covers natural forest category at 41%. Next to natural forest category is
the mud plot category at only 24%. The rest are distributed to minimal categories as
barren land (23%) and built up which is (13%). As an observation San Fernando has a
minimal coverage at only 41% of natural forest which gives us an idea to organize more
greening projects in our municipality through tree planting and nurturing.
The 20 hectares Forestland with mangroves and mud plot is located at four coastal
barangays: San Isidro, Panadtaran, Balud and Sangat. The rest of the coastal barangay
have mangrove in their foreshore area. It has the coastal stretch is approximately 8.3
kilometers covering 1454.9 hectares or 19% of the total land area of the municipality.
Coastal Areas
San Fernando’s mangroves cover a total of twenty-nine (29) hectares and were
generally in good condition. Seagrass and seaweeds were found in some
barangays. The marine ecosystem serves as a source of livelihood for coastal
communities. The mangroves serve as excellent spawning grounds and
nursery for many species and should be protected as coastal conservation
areas. They also play an important role in storm protection for low lying land
and natural protection against shoreline erosion.
There are the endemic species in the area but many of those species live in
what has now been characterize as disturbed habitats due to rapid
urbanization. Identified likewise as common threats to biodiversity include
hunting, habitat alteration, illegal settlements, land conversion, deforestation.
Forest and marine habitats are becoming increasingly exposed to landslides
and storms. Climate change poses a big threat to the survival of vulnerable
changes and increasingly acidity of the soil and the sea. Mangroves serve as
excellent spawning grounds and nursery for numerous species hence should
be protected as coastal conservation areas. Mangroves also play an important
role in storm protection for low lying land and natural protection against
shoreline erosion.

C. HEALTH STATISTICS
For the past years, the progress in the health sector was evident. Mortality and
morbidity table shows that the cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes (mostly
lifestyle diseases) are the leading causes of death. Communicable diseases still prevail,
while malnutrition rate has reduced.
During the past three years, only one maternal mortality was recorded. This is so
because of the establishment and operation of facility- based deliveries in every
barangay.
Environmental sanitation, personal hygiene, and proper health habits still need more
attention.
Over the past years, the number of infant deaths in the municipality of San Fernando
is decreasing based on the FHSIS report. Here are the causes of the infant death
reported in the municipality.

AXIS TITLE
The graph illustrated below showed the actual accomplishment of the municipality of

Oral disease continues to be a serious public health problem in the Philippines. The
prevalence of dental caries on permanent teeth has generally remained above 90%
throughout the years. About 92.4% of Filipinos have tooth decay (dental caries) and
78% have gum diseases (periodontal diseases) (DOH, NMEDS 1998). Although
preventable, these diseases affect almost every Filipino at one point or another in his
or her lifetime.
Filipinos bear the burden of gum diseases early in their childhood. According to
NOHS, 74% of twelve-year-old children suffer from gingivitis. If not treated early, these
children become susceptible to irreversible periodontal disease as they enter
adolescence and approach adulthood.
In general, tooth decay and gum diseases do not directly cause disability or death.
However, these conditions can weaken bodily defenses and serve as portals of entry
to other more serious and potentially dangerous systemic diseases and infections.
Serious conditions include arthritis, heart disease, endocarditis, gastro-intestinal
diseases, and ocular-skin-renal diseases. Aside from physical deformity, these two oral
diseases may also cause disturbance of speech significant enough to affect work
performance, nutrition, social interactions, income, and self-esteem. Poor oral health
poses detrimental effects on school performance and mars success in later life. In fact,
children who suffer from poor oral health are 12 times more likely to have restricted-
activity days (USGAO 2000). In the Philippines, toothache is a common ailment among
schoolchildren, and is the primary cause of absenteeism from school (Araojo 2003,
103-110). Indeed, dental and oral diseases create a silent epidemic, placing a heavy
burden on Filipino schoolchildren.

Livestock farming is the rearing of animals for food and for other human uses. The
word 'livestock' applies primarily to cattle or dairy cows, chickens, goats, pigs, horses
and sheep. Livestock farming is a double-benefiting system - it helps the farmers both
economically and supplies them with food throughout the year.
Livestock and poultry play a vital role in agriculture, not only do they produce food
directly, but for many smallholder farmers, these can be a ready source of cash to buy
the inputs (seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides) they need to increase their crop
production.
