DRRR

• The Philippines is located at the Pacific Ring of Fire, making it prone to earthquakes.
• Vulnerability

  The dimineshed capacity of an individual or group to anticipate, cope with, resist and recover from the impact o a natural or man-made hazard
• Proximity to a hazard event

  An area frequentent by a certain hazard predisposes it to high vulnerability
• Population density near hazard event

  Refers to the number of individuals inhabiting a particular space at the same time
• Capacity & efficiency to reduce disaster risk

  The capacity of a community to reduce disaster risk includes the accessiblity and availability of services and facilities that help in preparing for or during disasters
• Building codes and disaster policies

  Building and other structures may increase disaster risk in the design and contruction of building, possible hazard should be
• Physical Elements

  these are elements that are tangible and other or can be visually seen landscapes, inhabitants, building and other
• Environmental Elements

  These elements include the ecosystems and the narutal processes that are exposed to hazard events relationship of hazards , exposure and vulnerabilities a hazard can lead into a disaster in a community i
• A coastal community that is frequented by storms

  This would mean probably mean that the community is located within the typhoon belt it receives more rain and typhoons in a year
• Rain and typhoons has high exposure to a storm

  Typhoon and is deemed to the high vulnerability

  to he same hazard, it is more likely to experience disaster
• Earthquake

  Shaking or trembling o the crust cause by underground volcanic eruption or by breaking and shifting o rocks beneath the surface
• Earthquake

  It creates seismic waves
• faults

  these are fracture in rocks along which movement has occured

  
  

  the rocks layer are being pulled apart during diastrophism
• Diastrophism

  The movement and deformation of earth's crust
• faults

  The point where an earthquake ruptures and rocks break
• Epicenter

  the point on earth's surface directly above the focus
• Seismic Waves

  Are waves of energy caused by sudden breaking of rocks within earth or an explosion
• Magnitude

  Total energy release during an earthquake
• Ricther scale used to check the size or magnitude of an earthquake
• Intensity

  Gives the amount of shaking that people experience or the degree of damage it caused to the area
• The one that studies earthquake are called?

  seismologists
• The device they used is called?

  seismographs
• The study of earthquake is called?

  seismology
• Active

  Are the structures where there is displacement. It produces shallow earthquake
• Inactive

  Is does not produce earthquake
• According to PHIVOLCS our country has several faults lines and trenches
• Meaning Of PHIVOLCS

  Philippine institute of volcanology and seismology
• Countries along the earthquakes belt

  
  

  Philippines

  Japan

  China

  Canada

  
  

  North and south America

  Chile

  Russia

  New Zealand

  
  

  Indonesia

  Mexico

  Antartica
• Surface Causes

  Explosion, Landslide, Slip on steep coast, dashing o sea waves, avalanche, railway trains, heavy trucks some large engineering projects cause minor tremors some o them are made others are natural. What Causes is this?
• Volcanic Causes

  Volcanic Eruptions Produce Earthquakes May Precede, accompany and frequently. What causes is this?
• Tectonic Causes

  Is is the structural disturbances resulting in the parts o lithosphere is the main cause o this type o earthquake. What Causes this?
• Seismic Waves

  Energy that travels through earth and is recorded on seismograph
• Body Waves

  Travels through the interior (body) of earth as they leave the focus
• Surface Waves

  This Waves travels parallel to the earth's surface and these waves are slowest yet the most damaging type of wave
• disaster - a sudden and serious disruption of the normal functioning of a community or society, resulting in loss of life or injury, damage to property, and economic losses
• disaster - pangmalawakang epekto
• hazards - a threat or harm that has a potential to cause damage
• two types of hazards: natural and man-made
• disaster - any event that causes widespread human, economic, and environmental losses or impacts that seriously disrupt the normal function of a community
• disaster risk - maybe specific to a location or condition of a community
