• Two reasons why the philippines is vulnerable to disasters: Reason 1 location of the map, Reason 2 disaster as a social phenomenon

• philippines is the pathway of typhoons that form in the warm water of the pacific ocean
• Reason 2: disaster as a social phenomenon includes: Underdevelopment and poverty, Human Activities, and Planning usually comes after a disaster has taken place

• hazard are potentially damaging physical events, phenomena , or human activities that may cause injury or loss of life, damage to property, social and economic disruption or environmental degradation

• R.A 10121 is an act strengthening the philippine disaster risk reduction and Management system, providing the national disaster risk reduction and management plan
• R.A 10121 is otherwise known as PDRRM ACT if 2010
• Disaster is the serious disruption of the functioning of a community or society causing widespread human, material, economic, and environmental losses or damage which exceed the ability of the affected community to cope using its own resources
• Vulnerability are the conditions determined by physical, social, aeconomic, and environmental factors or processes which increases susceptibility of a community to the impact of hazards
• Capacity is the communities strengths, characteristics, and resources that can be utilized to limit the impact of hazards
• disaster risk is the probability of harmful consequence or expected losses resulting form the interaction between natural or human induced hazards and vulnerable conditions
• natural hazards are hazards that are beyond human control/result of natural causes
• hydrometeorological are water and weather/climate related hazrads
• geological hazards are land/earth related hazards
• biological hazards are biological substances/toxins/microorganisms/viruses that can pose a threat to human life
