Risk Assessment
• It is a tripartite process in analysing
disasters
– Identification of hazards and risk factors
– Analysis of risks associated with the hazards
– Formation of procedures and protocols for
hazard elimination risk control
How to do a Risk Assessment
• First, you identify all possible hazards
• Second, you determine the risks through its likelihood
and severity through a risk severity and likelihood chart
• Third, identify possible actions that would be deemed
necessary to eliminate identified hazards and
predetermined risks using the hierarchy of risk control
methods
• Fourth, evaluate if the hazard has been eliminated or if
the risk is sufficiently controlled
• Fifth, monitor the measures done to control the risk
• Keep all pertinent documents on hand on the entirety of
that the assessment has been done

Severity and Likelihood Chart
Quiz
• On 2:30PM of January 12, 2020, Taal Volcano underwent a magmatophreatic eruption,
raising the alert level from the pre-set level 1 to level 2, then level 3, and finally level 4 as
the intensity of the eruption escalated exponentially over the course of the day, displacing
more than 30,000 individuals within a 14Km Danger Zone Radius.
• Now, going back to your exposure and vulnerability assessment, input all possible hazards
that would make the risks you have indicated possible
• Rate the risk/s that you have indicated previously, and from this rating, rank your risks by
order of priority via the severity and likelihood chart
• Submit a printed output in a long bond paper with the following parameters:
– Title: Arial 16, bold, italicized
– Members list (immediately below the title): Arial 12, bold
– Subheadings: Arial 14, bold, underlined
– Body text: Arial 12
• The rubric to be used is the same as the rubric for exposure and vulnerability assessment
