Good morning everyone.

I would like to borrow your attention please as


we present to you our presentation. Our topic is about Vulnerability in
Disaster. As we are the presenters for this group, the name’s Jasmine
Inosantos, Kenneth Caporal and Princes Celino.

Before we proceed to our topic I would like to have a small recap about
our past lesson. I know some of you are tired of these questions but I
want to know if you still recall what are discussed in these past report.

Okay so first question, what is Vulnerability? To those who are raising


hands, very good for having a good memory of remembering the answer
to this question. Yes, _______. Okay very good. Thank you very much.
So Vulnerability (answer sng klasmeyt) or the inability to resist a
hazard.

Next as you can already see please read. Who would like to answer?
Yes, _______. Who else? Yes, ______. So all your answers are correct.
A disaster is an unexpected phenomenon that causes disruption over
a short or long period of time.

Now let’s move on to the next slide, who would like to volunteer to read
what is written on the screen. Yes, ____________. Thank you very
much _______. So in this presentation, we will discuss on why there are
some sectors are more vulnerable than the others, and other topics that
will be discussed later on.

So our discussing for today is about the Factors Affecting


Vulnerability of One’s Community.

The first factor that affects the vulnerability of one’s community is the
Population Density Near a Hazard Event. Everyone please read.

Population typically refers to the number of people in a single area,


whether it be a city or town, region, country, continent, or the world.
Population density is a measurement of population per unit land area. It
is mostly applied to humans, but sometimes to other living organisms. It
is a key geographical term. In simple terms, population density refers to
the number of people living in an area per square kilometre, or other unit
of land area.

The current population density of Philippines in 2022 is 385.20 people


per square kilometer, a 1.47% increase from 2021. The population
density of Philippines in 2021 was 379.60 people per square kilometer, a
1.51% increase from 2020.

The second factor is the Capacity and Efficiency to Reduce Disaster


Risk.

The capacity to cope requires continuing awareness, resources and good


management, both in normal times as well as during disasters or adverse
conditions. Coping capacities contribute to the reduction of disaster
risks.

Ways on how to reduce vulnerability in disaster.


 Implementing building codes
Building codes are the minimum design and construction
requirements to ensure safe and resilient structures. These
codes reduce casualties, costs and damage by creating stronger
buildings designed to withstand disasters.
 Insurance and social protection (risk)
Social protection is defined as the set of policies and programs
designed to reduce poverty and vulnerability by promoting
efficient labor markets, diminishing people’s exposure to risks, and
enhancing their capacity to protect themselves against hazards and
interruption/loss of income.
 Emphasizing economic diversity and resilient livelihood
Economic diversification is the process of shifting an economy
away from a single income source toward multiple sources
from a growing range of sectors and markets. Traditionally, it
has been applied as a strategy to encourage positive economic
growth and development.
Livelihood resilience refers to the ability of social systems to
cope with and recover from disasters. Livelihood resilience
focuses on how rural residents perceive changes in the social
environment and how they modify their behaviors based on
existing knowledge and social learning.
 Knowledge and Awareness Raising
Knowledge & awareness raising is fostering communication and
information exchange in order to improve mutual
understanding as well as mobilising communities.
 Preparedness Measures
Quantitative preparedness measures can be used to calculate the
level of preparedness for handling disasters or emergencies. They
are useful for evaluating plans and preparations, and for comparing
areas and organizations with each other.
