Study Notes
Poverty and Vulnerability
- The poor have limited access to better homes, public facilities, and livelihood opportunities, making them vulnerable to disaster.
- Harmful practices worsen vulnerability to disaster.
- Population growth and land shortage push low-income families to worse living conditions, increasing vulnerability.
- The poor, elderly, people with disabilities, and marginalized communities are often the most vulnerable to disaster.
Hazards
- Types of hazards: natural, man-induced, and biological.
- Natural hazards: astrological, hydro-meteorological, climatological, and geologic.
- Man-induced hazards: hazardous activities, lifestyle, and industrial hazards.
Hazard Analysis
- Industrial hazards and vulnerability mapping: identifying areas vulnerable to specific hazards.
- Factor analysis: describing hazard characteristics, including frequency, duration, speed of onset, intensity, probability, forewarning, and manageability.
Geological Hazards
Earthquake
- Intensity: a scale used to estimate the amount of ground shake at a particular location.
- Earthquake: movement of the earth's crust or ground shaking caused by sudden rock slip.
- Anatomy of an earthquake: fault lines, focus, and epicenter.
- Seismographs: instruments used to measure earthquake magnitude.
- Earthquake hazards: ground shaking, ground rupture, ground subsidence.
Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction
- Risk level: high, medium, or low, depending on physical, environmental, and socio-economic factors.
- Disaster risk reduction: a proactive approach to reduce, prevent, or mitigate disaster risks.
Basic Concepts of Disaster and Disaster Risk
Concept of Disaster
- Disaster: a serious disruption of community or society causing widespread human, material, economic, and environmental losses.
- Types of disasters: natural, man-made, and biological.
Disaster Risk and Vulnerability
- Disaster risk: the probability of harmful consequences or expected losses from the interaction between natural or human-induced hazards and vulnerable conditions.
- Disaster risk reduction: reducing, preventing, or mitigating disaster risks through rapid and effective response.
- Vulnerability: an inability to resist a hazard or respond when a disaster occurs, or a condition determined by factors that increase susceptibility to disaster impacts.
- Types of vulnerability: social, economic, and environmental.
