We shared our different capacities and vulnerabilities of our community. In my case, i listed the community where I am living as of the moment. I am living in Quezon City, it means my community have many capacities and vulnerabilities. Capacities are, my community has a good garbage collecting system and in case of disasters, there are many evacuation centers. But on the other hand, there are also vulnerabilities such as many houses are really cramped and i believe that unfortunately, these houses will not hold or stay the same after a disaster, thus adding more casualty. I live near 2 hospital: Sioson general hospital and the Veterans Medical Center. The latter can also be an evacuation center due to its massive location. Also, i live just across a mall empowered by solar energy, where can potentially be an evacuation center. This is also a capacity.
When we were doing the hazard mapping, it truly helped us because say for instance, we are not at home and we are in a place we are not very familiar to, that map familiarize me on where to go or what place is dangerous for me and my family.
After conducting this activity, i felt a rush of adrenaline in me, that i should be at all times alert and not panic because as being informed, i have the responsibility to help other people.
