WHAT ARE
DISASTER AND
DISASTER RISKS?
THE PHILIPPINES HAS EXPERIENCED FROM
AN INEXHAUSTIBLE NUMBER OF DEADLY
EARTHQUAKES, VOLCANO ERUPTIONS, AND
OTHER NATURAL DISASTERS. THIS IS DUE TO
ITS LOCATION ALONG THE RING OF FIRE, A
LARGE PACIFIC OCEAN REGION WHERE MANY
VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS AND EARTHQUAKES
OCCUR.
ACTIVITY 1:
“COUNT ME
IN”
Direction: Write five (5) disastrous events
in the Philippines in the last five
years that you could still recall. Write
your answer on a separate sheet of
paper.
Bagyong Paeng (OCTOBER, 2022
EARTHQUAKE IN BOHOL (OCTOBER,
2013)
LANDSLIDES NAGA CITY (SEPTEMBER,
2018)
COVID PANDEMIC (2020)
TAAL VOLCANO (MARCH,
2022)
IT’S A
DISASTER
Disaster is a sudden, calamitous occurrence that causes
great harm, injury, destruction, and devastation to life
and property. It can cause physical and emotional
distress, and can lead to death in the worst scenario.
The United Nations International Strategy for Disaster
Reduction defines disaster as a serious disruption of the
functioning of a community or society, with increased
human, material, economic or environmental losses and
impacts. Its impacts may include loss of life, injured,
disease, and other negative impacts on human physical,
mental, and social wellbeing.
A.NATURAL DISASTERS – A NATURAL PHENOMENON IS
CAUSED BY NATURAL FORCES, SUCH AS EARTHQUAKES,
TYPHOON, VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS, HURRICANES, FIRES,
TORNADOS, AND EXTREME TEMPERATURES. THEY CAN BE
CLASSIFIED AS RAPID ONSET
DISASTERS AND THOSE WITH PROGRESSIVE ONSET, SUCH
AS DROUGHTSTHAT LEAD TO FAMINE. THESE EVENTS,
USUALLY SUDDEN, CAN HAVE TREMENDOUS EFFECTS.
B.MAN-MADE - DISASTERS CAUSED BY MAN ARE THOSE IN
WHICH MAJOR DIRECT CAUSES ARE IDENTIFIABLE
INTENTIONAL OR NON- INTENTIONAL HUMAN ACTIONS.
CLASSIFICATION OF DISASTERS:
DISASTERS CAN BE DIVIDED INTO 2
LARGE CATEGORIES:
1. Technological/industrial disasters - Unregulated industrialization and
inadequate safety standards increase the risk for industrial disasters.
EXAMPLE: leaks of hazardous materials; accidental explosions; bridge or
road collapses, or vehicle collisions; Power cuts
2. TERRORISM/VIOLENCE - THE THREAT OF TERRORISM HAS ALSO
INCREASED DUE TO THE SPREAD OF TECHNOLOGIES INVOLVING NUCLEAR,
BIOLOGICAL, AND CHEMICAL AGENTS USED TO DEVELOP WEAPONS OF
MASS DESTRUCTION. EXAMPLE : BOMBS OR EXPLOSIONS; RELEASE OF
CHEMICALMATERIALS; RELEASE OF BIOLOGICAL AGENTS; RELEASE OF
RADIOACTIVE AGENTS; MULTIPLE OR MASSIVE SHOOTINGS; MUTINIES
SUBDIVIDED INTO THREE
CATEGORIES:
3. COMPLEX HUMANITARIAN EMERGENCIES - THE TERM COMPLEX
EMERGENCY IS USUALLY USED TO DESCRIBE THE HUMANITARIAN
EMERGENCY RESULTING FROM AN INTERNATIONAL OR CIVIL WAR. IN
SUCH SITUATIONS, LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE ARE DISPLACED FROM
THEIR HOMES DUE TO THE LACK OF PERSONAL SAFETY AND THE
DISRUPTION OF BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE INCLUDING FOOD DISTRIBUTION,
WATER, ELECTRICITY, AND SANITATION, OR COMMUNITIES ARE LEFT
STRANDED AND ISOLATED IN THEIR OWN HOMES UNABLE TO ACCESS
ASSISTANCE.
SUBDIVIDED INTO THREE
CATEGORIES:
RISK AND
DISASTER RISK
Risk is defined as the combination of the
probability of an event and its negative
consequences. Disaster risk refers to the
potential for catastrophic losses in lives,
health status, livelihoods, assets, and
services that would occur in a community
or society over a future time period. It is
determined by the presence of three
variables: hazards, vulnerability to a
hazard, and coping capacity.
ACTIVITY 1.2 FIX
ME!!!
INSTRUCTION: ARRANGED THE GIVEN JUMBLED LETTERS TO IDENTIFY THE CORRECTT ERMINOLOGY.
THE DEFINITION WILL HELP YOU TO DERIVE THE CORRECT ANSWER. ANSWERING THIS ACTIVITY
WILL DEVELOP YOUR VISUAL AND ANALYSIS SKILLS. W RITE YOUR ANSWER IN YOUR ANSWER
SHEET.
ACTIVITY 1.3
