ABSTRACT
Communicating geohazards information is vital to save lives
and minimize damage to properties. Disaster related agencies have separate
information materials but do not have an integrated communication plan.
San Mateo, Rizal is prone to hazards (Flood, earthquake and landslide) thus an integrated module on geohazards prepared by the researchers was pretested, evaluated, revised and implemented in the area. Aside from lectures of Phililippine Atmospheric Geophysical Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), Project NOAH and Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB), Homeowners (HOA) and Local Government (LGU) officials have undergone experiential learning activity by visiting actual hazard prone areas and identified safe and unsafe evacuation routes and sites.

The study found out that the use of innovative and
interactive materials, creation of task force composed of LGU officials and
HOAs, synergy among stakeholders including Government agencies and pretesting
and evaluation of communication materials is necessary to create appropriate ,
effective and response to disasters.
