a time of intense natural catastrophe that
difficulty or danger. causes great damage or loss
of life.
 THE EFFECT OF SEVERAL CRISES IN
THE PHILIPPINES

The Philippines is not new to struggling through one

crisis after another. However, the relentless shocks brought
about by climate change-related disasters, combined with
recent economic blows including the COVID-19 pandemic
and Russia-Ukraine war, have plunged the country into
inflation, debt, and crisis.
 THE EFFECT OF SEVERAL CRISES IN
THE PHILIPPINES

The COVID-19 pandemic has been brutal to the country – In April 2020, there were
12.9 million unemployed people, with almost 19 million families facing income losses without
savings in the third quarter of 2020, and 15.5 million families going hungry.

The service and tourism industries have been battered due to the lockdown and
quarantine restrictions, making it even harder for Filipinos to earn enough to make ends meet.

And climate change is battering the country – since 2020, the country has been hit by
54 tropical cyclones, severely draining Filipinos already depleted resources.

disasters are crime, arson, civil disorder,
terrorism, war, biological/chemical threat,
cyber-attacks, etc.

 THE 5 STAGES OF THE CRISIS
AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT
CYCLE
Prevention Recovery

Mitigation Response

Preparedness
 PREVENTION
The best way to address a disaster is by
being proactive. This means identifying potential
hazards and devising safeguards to mitigate their
impact. Although this stage in the cycle involves
putting permanent measures into place that can
help minimize disaster risk, it’s important to
acknowledge that disasters can’t always be
prevented.
 MITIGATION
Mitigation aims to
minimize the loss of human
life that would result from a
disaster. Both structural and
nonstructural measures may
be taken.
 PREPAREDNESS
Preparedness is an ongoing process
in which individuals, communities,
businesses and organizations can plan and
train for what they’ll do in the event of a
disaster. Preparedness is defined by
ongoing training, evaluating and
corrective action, ensuring the highest
level of readiness.
 RESPONSE
Response is what happens
after the disaster occurs. It
involves both short- and long-
term responses.
 RECOVERY
It involves stabilizing the area and
restoring all essential community
functions. Recovery requires
prioritization: first, essential services like
food, clean water, utilities, transportation
and healthcare will be restored, with less-
essential services being prioritized later.
