A hazard is a physical or human-made even that can potentially trigger a disaster(POTENTIAL
THREAT). Examples include earthquakes, mudslides, floods, volcanic eruptions (ivi)
Risk: The probability of the non-desirable event happening. Risk is related to the expected
losses which can be caused by a risky event and to the probability of this event.
Risk analysis requires determining the probability of the disaster happening. (dandik

Disaster Preparedness: Ability to predict, respond to and cope with the effect of a disaster
Disaster Mitigation: Measures taken in advance of a disaster aimed at reducing its impact on
society and the environment.
Disaster Prevention: Activities designed to provide permanent protection from disasters

2. Draw the Emergency Management Cycle and briefly explain the two main components of it.
Risk Management:
The systematic approach and practice of managing uncertainty to minimize potential harm and
loss
Risk analysis is a technique used to identify and assess factors that may jeopardize the success
of a project or achieving a goal
Crisis management is the process by which an organization deals with a major event that
threatens to harm the organization, its stakeholders, or the general public

3. Write three core components of the Organization Disaster Risk Reduction Plan and give one
specific examples for each.
Risk Assessment and Planning: Be aware of vulnerable groups and individuals.
Physical Protection: Maintain the building, repairing damage when it occurs.
Response Capacity: Train Staff on first aid.
4. First Aid:
a) Write down 3 components of the First Aid?
1) Protection, Call for Help, Immediate Help
b) List down the steps of the Call for Help.
When someone has been hurt or has had an accident, the first thing to do is get help.
Dial an emergency number: 112 for an ambulance,
