Main Idea
A hazard is defined as a potentially-damaging physical event that may cause the loss of life or injury, property
damage, social and economic disruptions, or environmental degradation.

Example/s:

 The Philippines is exposed to hazards due to the presence of several factors: the Pacific Ring of Fire for Volcanic
eruptions, active fault lines for earthquakes, trenches for tsunamis, and the Pacific Ocean for tropical cyclones.
Typhoons, which occur in the country at an average of 22 times a year, also enhance the southwest monsoon
(habagat) which increases the possibility of storm surges.
 Hazards know no politics, race, or creed; it could strike anytime.
 With the changes brought about by the effects of climate change, hazards have become even more powerful and their
occurrences more frequent.

Activity/Exercises:
Directions: Read and analyze the meaning of Hazards. Give words associated with the word HAZARD. (10 points)

Main Idea
Hazards are generally classified as natural or human-induced.
Natural Human-Induced

1. Geologic hazards- occur on Earth’s crust.
These hazards pose a threat to life and property.
2. Hydrometeorological hazards- could be
atmospheric, hydrological, or oceanographic in
nature. They could potentially cause loss of life
and damage to property, and disrupt normal living
conditions and provision for services.
1. Biological Hazards- refer to threat from viruses or bacteria,
medical waste, microbiological samples, or toxic chemicals of
biological origin that can cause harm to human life.
2. Technological hazards- can be industrial in origin. They may
be results from accidents, collapsed structures, and explosions in
the industries.
3. Socio-natural hazards-are the result of the interaction of a
natural hazard with overexploited land or other environmental
resources.

Example/s:
Natural Human-Induced

1. Geologic hazards 1. Biological Hazards

 Earthquakes  Epidemic diseases caused by viral and bacterial infection.
 2. Technological hazards
2. Hydrometeorological hazards-  Accidental release of chemicals, toxic and pesticides to flora
 Typhoons and fauna.
 Thunderstorms 3. Socio-natural hazards
 Landslides
 Floods
