DISASTER- defined by the United Nations Office
for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR), is a serious Biological hazard- it refers to the threats from

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT CYCLE
Exposure- it refers to the properties or people
who are directly affected by a disaster. A comprehensive plan should:

-viewed as the total value of elements  address all phases of emergency

at risk.
Recovery- it can be a long term process with no
shortcuts.
Philippines- it is prone to a lot of hazards due to
its location.
- Geographic and geologic setting
contributes to the reason why these
hazards can be disastrous.
Response- it is when all plan takes action
management;
 Take an all-hazards approach;
 Ensure that manpower and
resources are identified.
Every community must have a tailored plan based on the following:
 Community history
 Type of risks present in the
community
 National and local government

MAIN COMPONENTS OF DISASTER RISK
Examples of Biological
- Vulnerability
- Exposure -insect infestation

CLASSIFICATION OF HUMAN HAZARD -epidemic

- Biological -wildfires

- Technological Geo means LAND.

- Socio-natural EFFECT OF DISASTER

CLASSIFICATION OF DISASTERS / GROUP OF Primary effects- are those coming directly from
DISASTER the incident itself.

• Geological Secondary effects- stems from the primary

effects.
• Hydrometeorological
Tertiary effects- long term effect of a hazard.
• Anthropogenic
Effects of disaster can be classified into four
• Biological groups: People; Homes; Infrastructure;
Example of Geological Economy

- Earthquake Hazard- defined as a potentially-damaging

physical event that may cause the loss of life or
- Tsunami injury, property damage etc.
Disaster are classified either as natural or
human made

Natural disaster- Natural process that occur

with or without warning.

Humanmade disaster- occur once the precursor

sets in.

WORLD RISK INDEX- report measures risks

using a system which considers a country’s
vulnerability and exposure to hazards.

SUSCEPTIBILITY

- Improve sanitation and water supply

COPING CAPACITY

- Corruption perception index

ADAPTIVE CAPACITY

- Adult literacy rate

- Size of the population that can survive

Risk – defined as the measures of the losses,

deaths, injuries, and damage to property.

HAZARD

- Potentially- damaging physical event

that may cause the loss of life or injury
- Know no politics, race, or creed; it could
strike anytime.

MARGARETA WAHLSTROM

- The special representative of the UN

secretary general for DRR from 2018-
2015
- Stated that exposure to disaster risk is
growing faster than our resilience.

Government plays a great role in disaster
