Introduction
A disaster is an event, natural or manmade, sudden or
progressive, which impacts with such severity, that the affected
community has to respond by taking exceptional measures.
It is a serious disruption of the functioning of a society
causing widespread human, material, financial, and
environmental losses which exceed the ability of the society to
cope using its own resources.
The Philippines is oftentimes subjected to different
natural disasters and calamities because we are surrounded by
water. It is considered as an Archipelago because our country is
composed of 7,000 islands.
These ocean and seas that surround us are considered
blessings because they are the source of marine wealth.
