Performance Task for Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction:
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST!
Steps to a Successful Research Report
1. Study the given topic. It should be a subject he can understand.
2. Make a plan. Create a calendar together to map out the process.
3. Check with the teacher. She should double-check the topic with her
teacher.
4. Conduct research and take notes. He can use a range of resources —
from books, periodicals, and the Internet — to do this. Help him practice
taking notes without copying word-for-word to reduce the risk of plagiarism.
5. Outline the project. This will help her organize her notes and thoughts.
6. Write the report. Use the outline as a road map.
7. Edit and reread the report. Checking and correcting mistakes are the
hallmarks of a good student.

mitigation of its effects to communities?
Group 6: Volcanic Debris Avalanche
1. What is a Volcanic debris Avalanche?
2. Name the features that indicate the occurrence of debris avalance?
3. What are the conditions that you must look for to say that a volcano is ripe for an avalanche
once triggered.
4. Described a post- debris avalanche scenario where a housing area and a commercial center
just beside the coastline used to be before being hit by debris avalanche from a nearby
volcano?
5. What would be the best thing to do to ensure one’s safety from debris avalanche?
