Tail-end of a cold front

I learned that tail-end of a cold front is a front boundary of two  air masses, found in mid-latitudes. It brings rainfall and cloudiness over affected areas. It occurs in  northern portion of the country during the northern hemisphere winter season.It is also defined as the later portion of an advancing or leading edge of a steep cold wedge of air characterized by cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds with frequent precipitation in the form of heavy shower. This was the explanation of the continuous heavy rain that have occured in Mindanao, Eastern Visayas and Bicol Region. The continuous rainshowers, strong winds and thick clouds that enveloped the land of the Bicolanos since the start of the year causes huge landslides and over flowing rivers, causing to an unexpected massive flooding,  have resulted to damages not only to properties but most importantly lives. I want to know more about the effects it may brought  to us. I would like to research on how we can lessen or prevent the extent damage in may cause and the signs of its occurrence. I appreciate the fact that we are now knowledgeable about this, and we can easily get prepared about its occurrence by means of the different media that broadcast the weather forecast and the precautionary measures to be followed when experiencing this kind of phenomenon. I can apply my learning and insights in my daily living like giving extra effort on helping find ways to prevent too much damage that can be caused by this like heavy flooding.
