DISASTER READINESS AND RISK REDUCTION

DISASTER
 A catastrophic event that causes significant disruption and damage

natural hazard
Earthquake, Volcanic eruption, tsunamis, floods, tornadoes

vulnerability
 The conditions that increase susceptibility to hazards

Difference of disaster risk from a disaster itself


 Disaster risk is the chance of a disaster occurring

exposure in disaster risk management


 The situation of people in hazard-prone areas

COMPONENTS OF DISASTER RISK


Exposure
Hazard
Vulnerability

Urbanization in hazard-prone areas is most likely to increase disaster vulnerability in the Philippines

Climate change may act as a driver of disaster risk by increasing the resilience of communities

Poverty increases vulnerability and exposure in disaster risk

Investing in disaster preparedness and training is most effective for reducing disaster risk in
communities

Loss of personal belongings and property is one common effect of disasters on individual

Disruption of daily routines and activities is a direct impact of disasters

disasters affect mental health and can lead to increased anxiety and trauma

Assessing the damage and needs of the community is the crucial first step in recovery if a community
experiences a natural disaster

In the aftermath of a disaster individuals support each other by sharing resources and emotional
support

sharing resources and emotional support is an effective strategy for disaster preparedness in
communities

socio-cultural perspective influence disaster recovery by shaping community responses and resilience

From a psychological perspective Development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)


is a common effect of disasters

the economic perspective views the impact of disasters by considering long-term economic recovery
and growth

Spread of diseases and health risks are biological impacts that have on communities

Rural communities with limited access to services often are more vulnerable during disasters in the Philippines

Enhancing disaster preparedness and response plans can reduce vulnerability to hazards in communities

From a physical perspective poorly constructed buildings that cannot withstand hazards are the vulnerabilities
communities face
Limited financial resources to rebuild after disasters is an economic vulnerability manifested in disaster-prone
areas

Difference between hazards and vulnerabilities


 Hazards are events that may cause harm, while vulnerabilities are conditions that increase risk.

certain sectors of society often face social, economic, and environmental disadvantages thus they are
considered more vulnerable to disasters

Communities in the Philippines reduce their vulnerability to hazards by enhancing disaster preparedness and
community training programs.

By participating in community risk assessment and planning individuals can mitigate their exposure to hazards

Vulnerabilities and exposure determine how hazards impact communities.

difference between natural and human-induced hazards


 Natural hazards are caused by nature, while human-induced hazards are caused by human
activities.
Drought is an example of a slow-onset hazard

hazards differ in their potential for causing damage in the Philippines


 Hazards that occur more frequently have a higher potential for causing damage.

Factors that contribute to the vulnerability of communities to hazards in the Philippines


Poverty, lack of resources, and poor living conditions

type of hazard poses the greatest threat to the Philippines


 Typhoons, because they occur frequently and can cause extensive damage to infrastructure
and agriculture.

Tectonic plate movement is the primary cause of earthquakes in the Philippines

Coastal communities in the Philippines prepare for a tsunami by developing evacuation plans and practicing
drills regularly

Individuals should do remain indoors and take cover under a sturdy table if they experience strong shaking
from an earthquake

Earthquakes in the Philippines causes significant damage to well-constructed structures

A comprehensive disaster preparedness plan for a community includes identification of hazards, risk
assessment, and mitigation strategies

Ground shaking in the context of earthquakes is the movement of the Earth's surface during an earthquake

Residents use earthquake hazard maps effectively by identifying areas at risk for ground shaking

Communities should develop and practice evacuation plans for coastal areas to prepare for potential tsunamis

Buildings may collapse due to unstable ground are the potential effects of liquefaction during an earthquake?

Emergency contacts, evacuation routes, and supply lists


 are components that should be included in an effective earthquake preparedness plan

Residents should evacuate the area and seek safety immediately upon observing increased volcanic gas
emissions

Communities effectively use volcanic hazard maps by identifying safe zones and evacuation routes

Inform local authorities and prepare for evacuation if there are signs of ground deformation near a volcano

Individuals can prepare for potential volcanic eruptions by developing a family emergency plan and practicing
drills
Volcanic hazard poses the greatest risk to communities living near active volcanoes
 Pyroclastic flows, due to their speed and destructive power
