DRRR

• Hydrometeorological hazards


  refer to processes or phenomena of atmospheric, hydrological, or oceanographic origin that may cause loss of life, injury, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage
• El Niño


  is associated with having no rain, hence the fear of drought and consequently dried-up fields and low water levels in dams and reservoirs for domestic, agricultural, and industrial uses
• La Niña


  is associated with heavy rainfall and hazards such as flood.
• the boy-child


  The term El Niño translates from Spanish as ________
• El Niño



  It is now the commonly accepted term to describe the warming of the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.
• El Niño-Southern Oscillation


  what does ENSO stands for?
• TROPICAL CYCLONE


  is an intense low-pressure system with a minimum sustained wind velocity of 35 kilometers per hour (kph) in diameter
• EYE


  This is the area where the wind is light and calm and there is no rain
• 10 to 100


  This is a tropical cyclone that has an eye that is ______ kilometers in diameter and is no rain
• eyewall


  where the precipitation is heaviest and the wind is strongest.
• Spiral rain


  -bands surround the eye
• Tropical cyclones


  _____ especially typhoons, can cause secondary hazards such as floods, storm surges, strong winds, landslides, and mudflows
• The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration


  what does PAG ASA stands for?
• PAG ASA


  is the official source of information about tropical cyclones even before it enters the PAR
• PHILIPPINE AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY


  what does PAR mean?
• tropical depression, tropical storm, severe tropical storm, typhoon, super typhoon


  tropical cyclone is classified into five categories which are:
• FLOODS


  this affects the low lands and coastal areas. this is due to the rising of bodies of water.
• man-made and natural


  causes of floods
• river flood,flash flood,coatal flood 


  types of floods:
• river flood


  is caused by the overflowing of rivers when the run-off exceeds the capacity of the channels
• flash flood


  is caused by a very short period of unusually heavy rainfall.
• coastal flood


  occurs when strong onshore winds push the water inland.
• STORM SURGE


  describes as a sudden rise of sea level above the normal level on the coastal due to the drop in atmospheric pressure and the force of the wind as a tropical cyclone approaches the coast
• Typhoon Yolanda


  a storm surge which hit Tacloban City and other municipalities of Leyte and Samar in 2013.
• Wind/pressure effect,Rainfall effect,Tidal effect,Shape of the coastline


  causes of storm surge
• Thunderstorm 


  is a localized storm cloud that produces lightning and thunder, and often brings heavy rain shower or hail as well as strong gusty winds.
• The typical thunderstorm is 5 kilometers in diameter and lasts an average of 30 minutes, although some may last longer.
• initial/cumulos stage,mature stage, dissipating stage


  three stages of thunder storm
• initial/cumulus stage


  a stage wherein the sun heats the Earth's surface, the ground warms the air above it. The warm air rises and water vapor condenses to cumulus clouds.
• mature stage


  the cloud causes heavy precipitation, severe lightning, strong and gusty winds, hail, and tornadoes at times
• dissipating stage


  The precipitation decreases its intensity and clouds begin to dissipate.
• Thunderstorms can produce dangerous weather conditions such as heavy rains, floods, tornadoes, hailstones, and lightning.
• Hailstones are ice crystals falling from a thunderstorm.
• Lightning, the most dangerous hazard associated with thunderstorms, is a visible electrical discharge due to high voltage differences that build up within the clouds, between the clouds, and the ground.
• The sudden lightning makes sound waves that we hear as thunder
• Tornado is a localized windstorm characterized by a visible funnel-shaped, rapidly whirling cloud extending downward from the base of a dark cumulonimbus cloud
• tornado is also know as a twister
• When a tornado occurs or moves over a body of water, this is called waterspout
• drought is the lack of rainfall in normal needs.
• It can be attributed to the El Niño phenomenon and the greenhouse effect or the warming of the Earth's surface (CDRC, 1992). With climate change, extreme atmospheric conditions could happen such as prolonged and heavy rainfall or the lack of rain, resulting in drought.
