  What to do before, during and after a flood/ What to put in an emergency relief boxIn the wake of Typhoon Ondoy, Rotary International District 3830 put together a Disaster Management Manual for all Philippine Rotary Clubs. The manual, created by the District Disaster Management Committee, included lots of pertinent information about the kinds of natural and man made disasters that we may find ourselves in and mapped out appropriate responses.In light of the torrential rains we have suffered in the past week, we quote below some of the safety tips during typhoons and flashfloods that were mentioned in the manual.Before the flood:1. If you live in an area prone to flooding, stockpile emergency building materials including plywood, plastic sheeting, lumber nails, hammer and saw, pry bar, shovels and sandbags.
  2. Construct barriers to stop floodwater from entering your home.
  3. Have an evacuation plan or route and two or three other contingency plans in case the first route is not passable. Find out what the community’s evacation plan is from the local emergency management agency.
  4. Have flashlights and extra batteries, portable battery operated radios, a first aid kit, emergency food and water, a non-electric can opener, essential medicines, cash and credit cards and sturdy shoes on stand by

  When a flood is imminent

  1. pack a bag with the most essential items, including your medications
  2. When advised to evacuate your home, do so immediately and move immediately to higher ground
  3. turn off utilities at the main switches or valves and disconnect appliances
  4. Fill bathtubs, sinks and pails with clean water in case water becomes contaminated

  During a flood:

  1. Do not walk through moving water. As little as six inches of moving water can make you fall.
  2. If you have to walk, use a stick to test the firmness of the ground in front of you.
  3. Do not drive through floods. If floodwaters rise around your car, abandon the car and move to higher ground if you can do so safely.
  4. Do not touch electrical equipment if you are wet or standing in water.

  After a flood:

  1. Listen to news reports to hear whether your community’s water is safe to drink.
  2. Avoid flood water which could be contaminated or electrically charged. Clean and disinfect everything that got wet with floodwater or mud.
  3. Stay away from downed power lines.
  4. Service damaged septic tanks, cesspools, pits and leaching systems ASAP as these are serious health hazards.

  In a separate box:

  Knowing what to donate to relief centers is not an exact science. We give whatever is convenient or accessible but this may not always be appropriate to the needs of a particular community. RI District 3830 has designed a Disaster Relief Emergency Box that meets the needs of a wide range of calamities.
  Should you want to reproduce this, these are the items found in the box.

  1 25kg sack of rice
  50 pcs of canned sardines
  50 pcs instant noodles
  25 pcs 50g coffee
  25 pcs 500g sugar
  25 pcs 90g creamer
  25 pcs plastic bags

  pain reliever such as alaxan/asprin/anti diarrea/band aid

  tooth paste/toothbrush/soap

The giant leap to the job of your dreams 

JobStreet.com, the No. 1 Job Site in the country, gives the biggest career break there is for all jobseekers who want to leap to their job of their dreams through the JobGantic Career Fair 2011 on August 12 and 13 at the SMX Convention Center, Pasay City.

A total of 158,600 job vacancies in various fields of specializations from over 250 local employers and overseas recruitment firms are up for grabs at the leading job portal’s major event this year, which is taunted to be their biggest job fair ever. At present, pre-registration for the said event has totaled to over 45,000, a clear indication of that its 40,000 target number of jobseekers who will participate in the event will be surpassed.

Yoda Buyco, JobStreet.com’s marketing director says, “JobStreet.com is known to have the most number of employers including the top ones in the country. Hence, jobseekers can expect thousands of local jobs at the event. But in an internal study conducted by our Company, we found out the 25% or 850,000 of our total number of jobseekers (3.5M) opt in to (apply) for overseas jobs. This is the reason why we have clearly ensured that we are going to have our overseas recruitment client-firms with us.” 

JobGantic Career Fair offers a good mix of employers and recruitment firms with 75% or 188 participating companies hiring for local employment while 25% or 62 others are for overseas employment. Of the mentioned 158,600 jobs that will be available at the event, 64% are for local employment and the remaining 36% are for jobs abroad. 

As the event estimates more than 40, 000 jobseekers to attend the job fair, Jobstreet.com innovates a way to give these jobseekers an easier way gain entrance the career fair without the hassles of long and endless lines. Jobseekers are encouraged to pre-register at www.jobstreet.com to get a faster lane voucher. This voucher ensures the jobseeker immunity from long lines that hinders them from getting the most out of the career fair.

Meanwhile, a closer look at the demographics of the pre-registered jobseekers reflect that 49% of them are coming from the National Capital Region followed by those from the rest of Luzon at 41%. Based on work experience metrics, 45% of those who wish to try their luck at the fair are those with one to four years of work experience; 20% are those who are currently holding supervisor level or with five years or more work experience; and 17% are fresh grads and those with less than one year work experience.

Finally, JobGantic Career Fair has also invited some government agencies to provide jobseeker service assistance to include the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), Social Security System (SSS), Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), and Technical Education Skills and Development Authority (TESDA).  The inclusion of these agencies will better help the jobseekers land their dream jobs, whether here or abroad, and will also give the assurance of non-fraud transactions.
