• a serious disruption of the functioning of the community or a society involving widespread human, material, economic, or environmental losses and impacts which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources. Disaster
• are associated with large-scale destructive events such as typhoons, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, among others. Disaster
• struggles and challenges they face in getting their lives back to normal. Disaster
• factors that contribute to the vulnerability of a community

  • poverty
  • lack of education
  • climate change
  • human-induced environmental changes
• a sudden, calamitous event, usually catching residents unprepared. Disaster
• A dangerous phenomenon, substance, human activity or condition that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage. Hazard
• People, property, systems, or other elements present in hazard zones that are thereby subject to potential losses. Exposure
• The characteristics and circumstances of a community, system or asset that make it susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard. Vulnerability
• The combination of all the strengths, attributes and resources

  available within a community, society or organization that can be

  used to achieve agreed goals. Capacity
• the possibility that something bad or unpleasant (such as an

  injury or a loss) will happen. Risk
• interaction between exposure to natural hazards including the

  adverse effects of climate changes and the vulnerability of

  societies. Risk
• To know how high the risk are

  A) Risk

  B) Hazard

  C) Exposure

  D) Vulnerability

  E) Coping Capacity

• are variables that either aggravate or mitigate the effects of hazards, affecting the degree or scope of a disaster. Disaster Risk Factors
• Physical factors would pertain to tangible objects or infrastructure, like the availability of fire exits, or the sturdiness of the building, or the presence or absence of objects that can harm you or help you, etc.
• Psychological factors include state of mental capacity and health (e.g. are we dealing with babies? Kids? Adults? People with special needs?), perception of self (e.g. self- assessment of capability to respond to disasters, fear), etc.
• Socio-cultural factors include religion, social status, traditions, perception by society, etc.
• Economic factors include assets and liabilities, income, economic class, etc.
• Political factors include government structure, diplomatic issues, etc.
• Biological factors include flora and fauna in environment, health, diseases
• a serious disruption of the functioning of the community or a society involving widespread human, material, economic, or environmental losses and impacts which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources. Disaster
• Effects of disaster that those coming directly from the incident itself. Primary Effects
• Water damage due to floods, collapse structure due to earthquakes are example of primary effects of disaster
• stems from the primary effect. Secondary Effects
• long term effect of hazard. Tertiary Effect
• Break out of fire and damaged electrical lines and water pipes are exmaple of secondary effects of disaster
• Permanent relocation of a community and reshaping of a river channel are example of tertiary effects of disaster
• The effects of disaster can be classified into four groups: people, homes, infrastructure, and economy.
• True or False

  When faced with the dead or dying. survivors often suffer psychological damages. True
• true or false

  People can't have lasting nightmares of what they see in the immediate onset of a disaster. False
• It is advisable for survivors and responders to undergo stress debriefing. True
• Sometimes, this necessitates moving the survivors into another location to give them time to be away from a disaster zone. True
• naturally-occurring physical phenomena caused either by

  rapid or slow onset events. Natural Hazards
• process or phenomenon of organic origin or conveyed by

  biological vectors/agents, including exposure to pathogenic

  microorganisms, toxins and bioactive substances. Biological Hazards
• outbreaks of epidemic diseases, plant or animal contagion, insect

  or other animal plagues and infestations. Biological Hazards
• Ebola Virus, flu virus, and rabies are example of Biological Hazards
• geological process or phenomenon. Geological Hazards
• internal earth processes like earthquakes, volcanic activity and emissions are example of geological hazards
• geophysical processes like mass movements, landslides, rockslides, surface collapses, and debris or mudflows are geological hazards
• process or phenomenon of atmospheric, hydrological or

  oceanographic nature. Hydrometeorological Hazards
