“A sudden, calamitous event,
bringing great damage, loss,
destruction and devastation to life
and property”. (Asian Disaster
Preparedness Center- ADPC, 2012)
Disaster is defined as “a
serious disruption of the
functioning of society,
causing widespread human,
material or environmental
losses, which exceed the
ability of the affected people
to cope, using their human
resources” (Adelman, 2011).
What is Hazard?
A dangerous phenomenon, substance, human
activity or condition that may cause loss of life,
injury or health impacts, property damage, loss
of livelihoods and services, social and economic
disruption or environmental damage.
What is Disaster
Disaster risk?
risk signifies the possibility
of adverse effects in the future.
Can we STOP
disasters from
happening?
We can't stop natural
phenomena from
happening. But we can
make them less damaging if
we understand better why
they happen, and what we
can do to prevent or
NATURAL DISASTERS
DISASTERS
• Disasters are hazards that cause
destruction or environmental
changes.

Two types of disaster:


• Natural disaster
• Man made disasters
NATURAL DISASTERS
a sudden and terrible event in nature
(such as a hurricane, tornado, or
flood) that usually results in serious
damage and many deaths.
Examples include earthquakes,
hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, wildfires,
volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis.
1. HURRICANES
A hurricane is a type of
tropical storm, but much
more powerful. It’s like a
gigantic, spinning storm
that forms over warm
ocean waters.
Hurricanes have
powerful winds that
blow things around,
heavy rain causes
flooding, and storm
surges flood coastal
areas.
2. TORNADOES
Tornadoes form when warm and cold
air collide during big thunderstorms.
This collision can force the wind to
start spinning in a circle.
When a tornado comes, it can be
extremely destructive, like a
powerful giant vacuum cleaner that
sucks up everything in its path.
3. VOLCANOES
Volcanoes form hot molten
rock, ash, and gases from
deep within the Earth. They
can burst out through an
opening, often creating an
eruption.
4. EARTHQUAKES
An earthquake happens when there’s a sudden
release of energy in the Earth’s crust. This
creates seismic waves that cause the ground to
shake.
5. TSUNAMIS
A tsunami is a super-
sized ocean wave that
can be extremely
destructive. It happens
when something big,
like an undersea
earthquake disturbs the
6. DROUGHTS
A drought is a prolonged
period of abnormally low
rainfall in a particular
region. This can cause
water shortages and
impact the environment
and agriculture.
7. LANDSLIDES
A landslide is a sudden
movement of dirt,
rocks, or even entire
chunks of land that
suddenly moves
downhill.
8. FOREST FIRES
A forest fire, also known as a wildfire,
is when a forest suddenly catches fire
and spreads quickly to the surrounding
area.
9. FLOODING
Water overflowing onto dry land is called
flooding. Flooding can occur because of heavy
rain, melting snow, or rising rivers, lakes, or
oceans.
A subcategory is flash floods, which is a sudden and
unexpected rush of water. Flash floods are very
dangerous because they occur suddenly and the fast-
moving water can carry debris, putting people and
property at risk.
10. TYPHOONS
A typhoon is essentially the
same thing as a hurricane, but
it’s called a typhoon in the
western Pacific Ocean and the
South China Sea.
In other parts of the world,
such as the Atlantic Ocean
and the northeastern Pacific,
we refer to these powerful
storms as hurricanes.
