1. Differentiate HAZARD, RISK, and
DISASTER.
The biggest difference between hazard, disaster,
and risk is that a hazard is a potentially hazardous
occurrence, substance, activity by humans, or
condition that could end up in fatalities, serious
injuries, or other health consequences, harm to
property, the interruption of livelihood and
services, social and economic disruption, or
destruction of the environment. A disaster is an
extensive disruption of a community's or society's
functioning that involves widespread human,
material, economic, or environmental losses and
consequences that surpass the impacted
community's or society's capacity to deal with its
own resources. It might be either natural or man-
made. The chance of an event and its detrimental
effects are combined to form a risk.
2. Why study Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management in NSTP?
Disaster risk management is the effective
implementation of disaster risk reduction measures
and approaches in order to avoid new disaster
risks, decrease current disaster risks, and manage
residual risks, thereby fostering the development
of resilience and loss reduction. Disaster risk
management procedures can be divided into three
categories: prospective disaster risk management,
corrective disaster risk management, and
compensatory disaster risk management (also
known as residual risk management).

3. Infer the saying, “An ounce of prevention is
better than a pound of cure” and relate this
to the phrase “Disaster Risk Reduction”.
Plenty of things throughout life involve
extensive thought and planning. We must be
vigilant and always take security measures.
Concentrating on what is important to
individuals to create improved safety and well-
being and to ensure they remain safe. It may end
up saving you more trouble in the long run.
Even with today's superior technology,
preventing damage is significantly more
effective than attempting to restore it.
4. In this illustration, give ways on how to
reduce disaster risk?
Based on the portrayal, below are some potential solutions to lessen
disaster risk in the circumstances depicted in the figure above.
- Reducing exposure to hazards (as seen in the picture, the
house is built beneath a hill or cliff where a large rock can
cause devastation; the best way to avoid the risk associated
with this type of situation is to find a more secure location to
build your house; in this way, we can reduce our exposure to
hazards.)
- Minimizing an individual's and property's vulnerability (To
mitigate an individual's and property's vulnerability, we must
guarantee that we are in an appropriate location to ensure
that we are able to construct our house and live safely, and
we must avoid choosing locations such as under a cliff, near
the shore, and other hazard-prone areas).
- Boosting emergency preparedness and early cautioning for
unforeseen circumstances (this indicates that we must
comply with all safety guidelines issued by authorities in
times of disaster, especially if the location of the house
depicted in the illustration is truly unsafe; if you are urged to
depart as soon as possible, depart immediately and relocate
to a safer location; in this manner, we can reduce the disaster
risk associated with this specific situation.)

 Create a family strategy in case of an
earthquake that involves how to get in

 Determine the safest areas in your home,
workplace, or school to take shelter in the
event of an earthquake, as well as
evacuation routes.
 Make sure you have enough emergency
supplies, such as clean water,
nonperishable meals, prescription drugs, a
first-aid kit, batteries, a radio, and pet food.
