DRRR

• Exposure - people, properties
• Vulnerability - failure to withstand the impacts of hazards
• Vulnerability - is the state of susceptibility to harm from exposure to stresses associated with environmental and social changes and from absence of capability to adapt.
• Various elements exposed to hazards

  Physical hazard - is defined as a factor within the environment that can harm the body without necessarily touching it.
• Various elements exposed to hazards

  Cultural hazards - also known as social hazards , result from your location, socioeconomic status, occupation and behavioral choices.
• Various elements exposed to hazards

  Economic hazard - refers to major natural disasters which can and do have severe negative short-run economic impacts.
• Various elements exposed to hazards

  Enviromental hazard - refers to the potential to threaten the surrounding natural environment and adversely affect people's health,
• Vulnerable sectors:

  Agriculture and Food - this is the sector that the Philippines is highly dependent on. Climate changes tend to disrupt farming activities and hamper agricultural production resulting physical factors.
• Vulnerable sector include:

  
  

  Watersheds, Forestry, Biodiversity, and Water resources - Major river basins in the Philippines are considered the lifeblood of the Philippine Economy. However, because of the pollution, unstable resource use and the additional pressure brought on by climate change, these areas have become less viable.
• Vulnerable sectors

  Coastal and Marine resources - even without climate change, many parts of the Philippine Coasts were already getting damaged and deteriorating due to natural causes or human induced activities.
• Hazards are potential threats to human life and property.
• Hazards trigger events
• Three types of Hazards:

  Geologic

  Hydrometeorological

  Biologic
• Human Health - infectious diseases that are climate sensetive become vulnerabilities of a population that is threatened by the increasing frequency of extreme climate events.
• Human Factors:

  Wealth - the poor are less able to afford housing and other infrastructure hat can withstand extreme events and less likely to have medical care.
• Human factors:

  Education - we can learn how to avoid or reduce many impacts. When populations include professionals trained in hazards, then these people can help the populations with their hazard preparations and responses.
• Human Factors:

  Governance - They can advance policies that reduce vulnerability. They can support education and awareness efforts, as well as economic development to reduce poverty. They can foster social networks and empower individuals and communities to help themselves to prepare for and respond to hazards.
• Human Factors

  Technology - It can improve our ability to forecast extreme events, withstand the impacts of events, and recover afterwards. Wealthier, more educated societies are more likely to have more advanced societies
• Age - Children and elderly tend to be more vulnerable. They have less physical strength to survive disasters and are often more susceptible to certain diseases.
• Gender - Women are more often vulnerable to natural hazards than men. This is in part because woman are more likely to be poor, less educated, and politically marginalised, often due to sexism.
• • United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR)
• DISASTER RISK - the combination of the probability of an event and its negative consequences.
• Disaster Risk - This includes the severity of the hazard, the number of damage to people and resources, and their vulnerability to damage.
• Hazard – any phenomenon that can potentially cause damage to life, property, or environment.
• Exposure – any element (people, property, or system) that is present in a hazard and is prone to potential loss.
• Vulnerability – a feature of a community that makes them prone and exposed to the negative impacts of hazards.
• RISK FACTORS UNDERLYING DISASTERS

  1. Severity of Exposure
  2. Gender and Family
  3. Age
  4. Economic and Status of the country
  5. Climate change
  6. Environmental degradation
  7. Globalized economic development
  8. Poorly planned and Managed Urban Development
  9. Weak governance
• Risk Assessment - Is made to estimate the potential economic, infrastructure, and social impacts
• Disaster risk reduction aims to decrease the risk level in communities. It implements policies and measures to control potential risks like poor urban and rural planning, poverty, and poor government and local capacities. 
• Disaster came from the french word desastre
• des meaning bad
• astre - star
• Disaster is a dangerous situation or threat from natural or man-made events that disrupt the functions of individuals in a community.
• Elements of Disaster:

  1. Vulnerability
  2. Hazard
• Types of Hazard:

  1. Natural
  2. Man Made
• Elements of DIsaster Risk:

  1. Hazard
  2. Exposure
  3. Vulnerability
