EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS disaster readiness and risk reduction.pptx
- 2. LEARNING TASKS: Describe the occurrence of Earthquake Identify various potential earthquake hazards Discuss the effects of different earthquake hazards
- 3. VIDEO CLIP ANALYSIS EARTHQUAKE
- 4. WHAT IS AN EARTHQUAKE? (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the perceptible shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves (US Geological Science, nd).
- 5. POTENTIAL EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS Ground Shaking or Ground Motion Ground or Surface Rupture Liquefaction Earthquake-induced ground subsidence and lateral spreading Tsunami Earthquake-induced Landslides
- 6. EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS Destruction to properties/infrastructure Death Extensive devastation Deformation of land portion affected by earthquake
- 9. RP Disaster Risk Profile Seismicity of the Philippines Tsunami Vulnerability
- 10. Typhoon Vulnerability Landslide Vulnerability RP Disaster Risk Profile
- 11. What to Do Before, During and After an Earthquake? BEFORE Engage yourself in training activities that promote safety and disaster preparedness. Participate in government-initiated earthquake drills and evacuation drills. Some private companies provide training on emergency response skills. Participate. This is part of your preparation. Share your acquired knowledge and skills to your family and friends.
- 12. What to Do Before, During and After an Earthquake? DURING Stay indoors if you are within a structurally sound building or home. If you feel the building were not safe, quickly open the door for exit. If you caught inside a room or building, duck under a sturdy desk or table, and hold on to it, or protect your head with your arms or hands. Stay away from glass windows, shelves, cabinets, etc. Those who are outside should move to an open area. Those who are in moving cars/vehicle should stop and get out.
- 13. What to Do Before, During and After an Earthquake? AFTER Take the fastest and safest way out of the building. Do not use elevators. Do not enter damaged buildings Do not use telephones unless necessary Most of all, do not panic

Editor's Notes
- #9: THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE SEISMICITY OF THE PHILIPPINES. THE DOTS OR CIRCLE REPRESENT THE EARTHQUAKE EVENTS. THE BIGGER THE CIRCLE THE LARGER THE EARTHQUAKE, ONLY PALAWAN HAS NOT EXPERIENCED AN EARTHQUAKE AS OFTEN AS SEEN IN THE MAP. THE TSUNAMI VULNERABILITY MAP ILLUSTRATES THE PRESENCE OF SEVERAL TRENCHES IN THE COUNTRY THAT WOULD GENERATE A TSUNAMI WHEN IT MOVES. EXAMPLES ARE THE MORO GULF EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI IN 1976. BUT IT HAS TO BE EMPHASIZED OUR COUNTRY CAN ALSO EXPERIENCE A TSUNAMI EVENT FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD. IT SHOULD BE REMEMBERED THAT DURING THE CHILEAN EARTHQUAKE IN THE 60’S IT GENERATED A TSUNAMI THAT AFFECTED THE EASTERN SEABOARD.
- #10: THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE COUNTRY’S VULNERABILITY TO TYPHOONS AND LANDSLIDES. HAVING SHOWN THE RISK PROFILE, THE PHILIPPINES HAS BEEN CONSIDERED THE 7-11 OF DISASTERS IN THE ASEAN REGION. THAT IS BECAUSE DISASTERS HAPPEN IN OUR COUNTRY 24-7.
