    Study Notes

    Drug Education and the Law

    • PDEA is the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency and is responsible for enforcing drug laws in the Philippines.
    • R.A. 9165 is the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 which outlines drug-related laws and penalties.

    • Drug abuse includes using drugs without prescriptions, for purposes other than intended, and using illegal drugs.
    • Drugs have natural and synthetic origins.
    • Natural drugs are sourced from nature, while synthetic drugs are artificially produced in laboratories.
    • Drugs can be classified based on their effects, with one category being Stimulants which excite the central nervous system.

    Disaster Recovery

    • Disaster recovery programs aim to provide relief and aid for those affected by disasters, including rebuilding damaged infrastructure and providing health care and rehabilitation.
    • Disaster recovery also includes developing policies to prevent future disasters.

    Earthquakes

    • Earthquakes are caused by the sudden movement of tectonic plates along fault lines.
    • It is impossible to predict when an earthquake will occur, but scientists can identify areas prone to earthquakes.
    • Governments can prepare for earthquakes by educating the public about risks, implementing earthquake-proof building practices, and ensuring emergency services are equipped to respond effectively.

    Floods

    • Flood forecasting aims to provide timely warnings about potential flooding.
    • Flood forecasting is an ongoing process, even when the risk of flooding is low.
    • Flood warnings are issued when a potential flooding situation is present.
    • Flood forecasting is a continuous activity even when the risk of flooding is low.

    Flood Mitigation

    • Flood mitigation includes measures like cleaning river channels, constructing dikes and levees, and sandbagging.

    Flood Safety Rules

    • Before a flood:
      • Identify the risk of flooding in your location and understand the local warning system.
      • Stay informed about daily weather conditions.
      • Develop an evacuation plan, including an evacuation area for your family and any livestock.

      • Store supplies and belongings above expected floodwater levels.
      • Ensure electrical equipment and fittings are properly installed and maintained by a qualified electrician.
      • Implement pest control to prevent damage to electrical wiring.

    Heat

    • Heat can be generated by work processes and is essential in many industrial settings.
    • In steelworks and chemical plants, proper ventilation and cooling measures are important.

    Oxygen Safety

    • Oxygen at high pressure can react violently with materials like oil and grease.
    • Increasing the oxygen level in the air makes starting fires easier and the fires burn more intensely.
    • Leaks in oxygen systems can quickly raise oxygen concentrations to dangerous levels.
    • The main causes of fires and explosions when using oxygen include:
      • Oxygen enrichment from leaking equipment.
      • Use of incompatible materials.
      • Use of oxygen in equipment not designed for oxygen service.
      • Incorrect or careless operation of oxygen equipment.

    Fire Prevention

    • During National Fire Prevention Week, you can take steps to enhance fire safety at home.
    • Key actions include:
      • Creating an escape plan.
      • Conducting family fire drills.
      • Identifying fire hazards.
      • Ensuring you have the necessary fire safety tools in your home.

    Arson

    • Deliberately started fires are a significant risk, particularly in areas with history of vandalism and fire-setting.
    • Arson can be committed by local youths, but also by employees or ex-employees.
    • Employers and workers should be aware of arson threats, especially if there are repeated small fires.
    • Security measures can help prevent arson, including:
      • Adequate interior and exterior lighting.
