Hazard literacy · educational sovereignty
Curriculum for hazard literacy and educational sovereignty. Every lesson states who it is written for, what it teaches, and what a reader can actually do with it in the field.
10 modules · 20 lessons
How a volcano is monitored, what an alert level does and does not promise, and how the ground itself decides where the danger sits. Paired with a true-scale 3D exhibit so the geometry can be seen rather than imagined.
Open module →What actually injures people in an earthquake, how to act in the seconds available, and how to read a building for the vulnerabilities that decide whether it stands.
Reading the warning systems for cyclones and rainfall, understanding why wind category and flood risk are different questions, and deciding to move while the decision is still free.
Open module →How slopes fail, the precursors that precede failure by minutes to weeks, and how to assess the ground a home or school actually sits on.
Open module →Tsunami and storm surge: two coastal hazards with different physics, different warning times, and one shared lesson — that the coast gives very little notice.
How outbreaks propagate, which interventions actually break transmission chains, and why water and sanitation dominate health outcomes after a disaster.
Open module →Why systems fail together rather than separately, how dependency chains propagate a single outage, and how to judge whether a building can serve as shelter.
Open module →How hazard information degrades as it travels, why engagement-ranked feeds systematically distort it, and how to hold a decision open under uncertainty without becoming paralysed.
Open module →What separates a warning people act on from one they discount, and how a community converts a warning into coordinated movement before impact.
Open module →How a community keeps teaching, deciding, and remembering on its own terms when institutions are disrupted — and why local hazard knowledge is a record worth keeping.
Open module →The same material is written for different readers. These paths filter the library to the lessons that address a given role — a lesson may appear on more than one path.
An educator delivering the material to others, who needs the lesson structure, the objectives, and the reasoning behind them.
A learner working through the material directly, in a classroom or independently.
A school, agency, or programme adopting the material at the level of policy or curriculum rather than delivering an individual lesson.
A general reader with no institutional role, arriving without prior context and owed a self-contained explanation.
Someone who may have to act during an actual hazard event, for whom the field-actionable steps are the operative part of the lesson.

Mayon Volcano 3D Interactive renders the volcano at true scale from real terrain and satellite data, with historical eruption eras and illustrative hazard overlays. It is a teaching instrument — not a live monitoring, warning, forecast, or evacuation tool. For current status and instructions, follow PHIVOLCS and your local authorities.
