Concept of Disaster-The interplay between natural phenomenon (which can turn into a hazard) and the
vulnerability of the population exposed (exposure and vulnerability) can create a disaster. Earthquakes,
typhoons, or volcanic eruptions are the usual occurrences in the region where the Philippines is located
and the inclusion of the over growing population in the area where the natural phenomenon is
happening comprises the whole concept of disaster if not reduced or managed.
Natural Event Become a Hazard-Hazards may be natural, anthropogenic or socio natural in origin
(UNDRR, 2017). When they have the potential to harm people or cause property damage, social and
economic disruption
Biological hazards- are of organic origin or conveyed by biological vectors, including pathogenic
microorganisms, toxins and bioactive substances (bacteria, viruses or parasites, as well as venomous
wildlife and insects, poisonous plants and mosquitoes carrying disease-causing agents.)
Environmental hazards-may include chemical, natural and biological hazards. They can be created by
environmental degradation or physical or chemical pollution in the air, water and soil.
Geological or geophysical hazards-originate from internal earth processes. Examples are earthquakes,
volcanic activity and emissions, and related geophysical processes such as mass movements,
landslides, rockslides, surface collapses and debris or mud
flows
Hazard Becomes a Disaster- when it happens in a place and time that causes it to harm human beings
and their property. natural hazard can be defined as natural phenomena that have the potential to do
significant damage to people and their property.( a hurricane is a natural hazard while it is at sea.
When the hurricane reaches land and destroys buildings and kills people, it is a disaster.)
Philippine Disaster Reduction and Management Act (RA 10121)- RA 10121 provides a comprehensive,
all-hazard, multi-sectoral, inter-agency, and community-based approach to disaster risk management
through the formulation of the National Disaster Risk Management Framework.
The Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) was the global blueprint for disaster risk reduction efforts
between 2005 and 2015. The HFA was adopted in 2005 at the World Conference on Disaster Reduction,
held in Kobe, Hyogo, Japan. Its goal was to substantially reduce disaster losses by 2015 – in lives, and in
the social, economic, and environmental assets of communities and countries.
the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 outlines seven clear targets and four
priorities for action to prevent new and reduce existing disaster risks: (was the first major agreement of
the post-2015 development agenda and provides Member States with concrete actions to protect
development gains from the risk of disaster.)
(i) Understanding disaster risk;
(ii) Strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk;
(iii) Investing in disaster reduction for resilience and;
(iv) Enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response, and to “Build Back Better” in recovery,
rehabilitation and reconstruction.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan (NDRRMP) fulfills the requirement of RA
No. 10121 of 2010, which provides the legal basis for policies, plans and programs to deal with disasters.
The NDRRMP covers four thematic areas, namely,
(4) Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery, which correspond to the structure of the National Disaster
Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC).
Environmental Degradation
Pollution
Complex Emergencies-Some disasters can result from multiple hazards, or, more often, to a complex
combination of both natural and man-made causes which involve a break-down of authority, looting and
attacks on strategic installations, including conflict situations and war. These can include:
-Food Insecurity
-Epidemics
-Armed Conflicts
-Displaced Populations
-Extensive Violence
-Displacements of Populations
-Loss of Life
Hazard Mapping and Risk Analysis- A hazard map is a map that highlights areas that are affected by or
are vulnerable to a particular hazard . They are typically created for natural hazards, such as
earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, flooding and tsunamis. Hazard maps help prevent serious damage
and deaths. Hazard maps provide important information to help people understand the risks of
natural hazards and to help mitigate disasters
Why is Hazard Mapping important?- Because HAHAHAH walang nakalagay baka opinon natin yan
HAHAHAHHAHAH
Ps: di ko na sinama yung PDF HAHAHHA pede naman search yun sa google while answering the exam
HAHAHAH (EVIL)
