Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction (DRRR)

Core Subject – 2nd Semester (4th Quarter)


Hydrometeorological
Hazards
 Define hydro-meteorological hazards and identify different
hydro-meteorological hazards;

 Recognize the signs of impending hydro-meteorological hazards.

 Value, and apply the importance of knowing the


different hydro-meteorological hazards.
PHYNOTO
It is a low-pressure area, or a wide and violent
tropical cyclone. It rotates in the counterclockwise
direction, with warm air rising
above Western Pacific Ocean. Many people on the
other side of the planet name it storm, or hurricane.
LFODO
- It is characterized as superfluous water that
swamps normally dry land and properties.

- It is a types of Hydro-meteorological hazards


has an overflow of water onto normally dry land
in an existing waterway, such as a river, stream,
or drainage.
AÑNIAL
It represents periods of under-average sea surface
temperatures across the Equatorial Pacific in the
east-central.
It means The Little Girl in Spanish. also sometimes
called El Viejo, anti-El Niño, or simply "a cold
event."
MRSTO GRSUE
is an abnormal rise in sea level during
tropical cyclones or "bagyo".
MROTSREDNUHT
It is local storm created by cumulonimbus
clouds and are often accompanied by
lightning and usually with strong wind, heavy
rain and occasionally hail and/or tornado.
ÑNOELI
It refers to the large-scale ocean-atmosphere
climate interaction linked to a regular warming of
sea surface temperatures around the
Equatorial Pacific region and east-center.
AFLSOHFLOD
It is often caused by heavy rainfall
in a short time span, typically less
than 6 hours.

Hydro-meteorological
Hazards
is a process or phenomenon of atmospheric,
hydrological or oceanographic nature that may cause
loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property
damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and
economic disruption, or environmental damage.
1. Tropical cyclone

also called typhoon or hurricane, an intense


circular storm that originates over warm tropical
oceans and is characterized by low atmospheric
pressure, high winds, and heavy rain.

Typhoon – Pacific & Indian Ocean


Hurricane – Atlantic Ocean
Classification
of Typhoons
2. Thunderstorm
This is a powerful, short-lived weather
disturbance, almost always associated with
lightning, thunder, dense clouds, heavy rain
and fast roaring winds.
Thunderstorms a storm with thunder and
lightning and typically also heavy rain or hail.
Thunderstorm
Thunderstorm forms through 3 stages known as CUMULUS STAGE, MATURE STAGE and DISSIPATING STAGE.

Cumulus Stage

Mature Stage

Dissipating Stage
Cumulus Stage

Cumulus Stage where


the sun heats the
Earth's surface during
the day and warms the
air around it.
Mature Stage

A cumulus cloud becomes


very large, where the water
therein becomes large and
heavy, and raindrops begin
to fall through the cloud
when the rising air can no
longer hold them up.
Dissipating Stage

After 30 minutes,
thunderstorm begins to
dissipate, the storm no
longer has a supply of
warm moist air to
maintain itself and
therefore it dissipates.
3. FLOOD & FLASHFLOOD

Flood is a high-water stage in which water


overflows its natural or artificial banks
onto normally dry land, such as a river
inundating its floodplain.

Here are the main types of floods to look out for:


A. Inland flooding
is the technical name for
ordinary flooding that
occurs in inland
areas, hundreds of miles
from the coast.
B. Flash floods
are caused by heavy rain or the
sudden release of water over a
short period of time. The name
"flash" refers to their fast
occurrence and also to their
raging torrents of water that
move with great speed.
C. River flooding
occurs when water levels
in rivers, lakes, and
streams rise and overflow
onto the surrounding
banks, shores, and
neighboring land.
D. Coastal flooding
is the inundation
of land areas
along the coast by
seawater.
E. Urban flooding
occurs when
there is a lack of
drainage in an
urban (city) area.
PAGSA Rainfall Warning System
4. STORM SURGE

 Storm surge or "Daluyong" in the Philippine


system where the irregular sea-level rise during
tropical cyclone or "bagyo“ occurs.
 Abnormal rise of water generated by a storm.
El Niño VS. La Niña
 El Niño refers to the above-
average sea-surface
temperatures that
periodically develop across
the east-central equatorial
Pacific.
 La Niña refers to the
periodic cooling of sea-
surface temperatures
across the east-central
equatorial Pacific.
