DRRR

• Disaster is a natural or man made emergencies that cannot be handled by affected communities who experience severe danger and incur loss of lives and properties causing disruption in its social structure and prevention of the fulfillment of all or some of the affected community’s essential function.
• Emergency is any situation in which life or well being of a community will be threatened unless immediate and appropriate action is taken, and which demands an extraordinary response and exceptional measures.
• Exposure are People or properties which are directly affected by natural disasters
• Vulnerability are Factors in the community that allow a hazard to cause a disaster and increase the susceptibility of a population to the impact of hazard
• Disaster Readiness Also known as “disaster preparedness” refers to measures taken to prepare for and reduce the effects of disasters.
• Disaster Recovery It is an area of security planning that aims to protect an organization from the effects of significant negative events.
• Risk are how great the chance that someone will be harmed by a hazard
• Disaster Risk Is expressed as a function of hazard, exposure and vulnerability. It seeks not only express the chance of disaster but also to quantify the impact.
• Elements of Disaster Risk: Hazard, Exposure, Vulnerability and Coping Capacity
• The magnitude of a disaster depends on 1. Severity of the natural event 2. Quantity of exposure of elements at risk 3. Vulnerability level or quality of exposure
• FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE DISASTERS IN THE PHILIPPINES: Geographic, Poverty, Education, Climate Change, Human induced and environmental changes
• DISASTER ELEMENTS Hazard, Capacity, Vulnerability, Exposure, Disaster Risk
• Natural Disaster are Natural processes that occur on Earth with or without warning
• Human-made Disaster Usually has a precursor but sometimes occur without any warning.
• Disaster


  A natural or man-made emergency that cannot be handled by affected communities, causing severe danger, loss of lives and properties, and disruption in social structure
• Emergency


  Any situation threatening the life or well-being of a community, requiring immediate and appropriate action
• Hazard


  Any phenomenon with the potential to cause disruption or damage to humans and their environment
• Exposure


  People or properties directly affected by natural disasters
• Disaster Readiness


  Measures taken to prepare for and reduce the effects of disasters, also known as "disaster preparedness"
• Disaster Reduction


  Systematic approach to identify, assess, and reduce the risk of disaster
• Capacities

  Positive resources and abilities helpful in mitigating, preparing for, responding to, and recovering from hazard impact
• Disaster Recovery


  Security planning area aiming to protect an organization from the effects of significant negative events
• Disaster Risk


  Expressed as a function of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability, seeking to quantify the impact and not only the chance of disaster
• Elements of disaster risk

  • Hazard
  • Exposure
  • Vulnerability
  • Coping capacity
• Magnitude of a disaster depends on

  • Severity of the natural event
  • Quantity of exposure of elements at risk
  • Vulnerability level or quality of exposure
• Factors contributing to disaster in the Philippines

  • Geographic and geologic setting
  • Poverty
  • Education
  • Climate change
  • Human-induced and environmental changes
• Nature of Disaster


  Natural disasters are natural processes that occur on earth, while human-made disasters usually have a precursor
• Classifications of Disaster

  • Geologic
  • Hydrometeorological
  • Anthropogenic
  • Biological
• Four Phases of Disaster Management

  1. Mitigation

  2. Preparation/Preparedness

  3. Response

  4. Recovery
• Response

  To protect people and property in the wake of an emergency, disaster or crisis
• Recovery

  To rebuild after a disaster in an effort to return operations back to normal
• Levels of Responses

  • Primary
  • Secondary
  • Tertiary
• Tertiary effects


  • Long-term effect of permanent relocation of the community after an earthquake
• Disaster Rehabilitation


  A response strategy for the creation of sustainable livelihoods, restoration of human-centered services and infrastructure, and the restoration of the physical and ecological integrity of the affected ecosystem
• Types of Hazard

  • Natural hazard
  • Hazard induced by humans
  • Hazard planned by people
• Various Impacts of Hazard

  • Physical impact (economic hazard)
  • Psychological impact (anxiety, depression)
  • Socio-cultural impact (discrimination)
  • Economic impact (cash)
  • Environmental impact (natural, climate change)
  • Biological impact (living organisms)
• Risk Assessment


  A way to determine which hazards and risks should be prioritized by considering the probability and severity of impact
• Vulnerability Assessment

  To ensure that precautionary measures are in place to eliminate hazards and minimize the effects of a disaster
• Capacity


  • Quality of individual or community to cope, resist, and recover from the impact of a hazard
• Disaster Mitigation

  • Limitation of adverse impacts of hazards and related disasters through proactive measures
