Abstract

Modification of evacuation systems is sometimes hindered by restrictions that include the lack of information and publicity regarding the new discovery of an environmental concern such as a fault line. The safety and well-being of residents can become significantly affected as a result of these constraints. The main purpose of this research study is to assess the sense of awareness of the local residents in Brgy. Baruya, Lubao, Pampanga towards the discovery of the Lubao Fault and to propose some modifications in their existing evacuation plan. A survey questionnaire was administered to the 357 residents of Barangay Baruya who were extracted through the use of a simple random technique. The results revealed that the focused population stands to disagree that they know the Lubao Fault and its attributes in terms of the highest magnitude and the underlying risks it can produce. Moreover, a structured interview was conducted with the Lubao Disaster and Risk Reduction Management Office (LDRRMO). The summary of transcribed answers indicated that they have an available general evacuation system and do not hold separate evacuation procedures in an earthquake situation. The community of Baruya was not thus far given the particular earthquake preparations that are purposively intended for the potential strike of the Lubao Fault. The Jose Abad Santos Avenue and the Lubao Bypass Road were set to be the routes of evacuation mobility. Available rescue vehicles and the aforementioned road networks were optimized in three cases. Open safe spaces and danger zones during earthquakes were identified through community evaluation and utilization of the HazardHunterPH tool. The proposed safety signages were provided with specifications. Overall, the areas covered by the modification in this present study are all open for integration into the future earthquake evacuation plan of Lubao, Pampanga.
