A typhoon leaving great damage of properties d. A man falling from the top of the roof causing his death What I Know 2. How can we reduce the risk brought about by disasters? We can reduce risk by: a. Decreasing the capacity, hazard, exposure, and vulnerability b. Decreasing the hazard, capacity, vulnerability while increasing the exposure c. Increasing the capacity while decreasing the hazard, exposure, and vulnerability d. Increasing the hazard, exposure, and vulnerability while decreasing the capacity. What I Know 3.

Vulnerability Disaster and the Underlying Risk Factors The Philippines is an 02 archipelago in Company Southeast Asia You can describe the topic of the section here surrounded by the Philippine Sea and Pacific Ocean in the 04 East and the South Conclusion China sea in the West. You can describe the topic of the section here Disaster and the Underlying Risk Factors 02 With a land area of Company 300,001 sq km and an You can describe the topic of the section here estimated population of 101,991,000 (Worldometer, August 04 4, 2015) Conclusion You can describe the topic of the section here Disaster and the Underlying Risk Factors 02 Philippine ranks third Company on the list of most You can describe the topic of the section here vulnerable countries to climate change with a 24.32% disaster risk. 04 Conclusion You can describe the topic of the section here Disaster and the Underlying Risk Factors Philippines is also one of the countries that belongs to the Pacific Ring of Fire where two major tectonic plates of the world meet, the Eurasian Plate and the Pacific Plate. Disaster and the Underlying Risk Factors Aside from being 02 situated in the Pacific Company Ring of Fire, it is You can describe the topic of the section here located along the Typhoon Belt on the Western North 04 Pacific Basin where Conclusion more or less 66 percent of tropical cyclones enter or Disaster and the Underlying Risk Factors It is visited with an average of 20 events of typhoons per year in which more or less than six of these typhoons can be rather destructive. CONCEPT OF DISASTER D - disruption of function of a large number of people I - impact involves human, material, monetary and ecological losses S - sudden devastating and unexpected event A - affect different levels of society: household level, community level and provincial level S - safe keeping measures is the utmost concern T - total damages to life, limb and property is appalling E - exceed the capacity of a neighborhood or the general public to manage by means of its own resources DISASTER The word disaster is originated from the French word "des" meaning bad and "aster" meaning star, literally the term refers to "Bad Star". Ancient people believed that disaster occurred due to inauspicious position of the planets, thus the name "Evil Star". Section 3 of The Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010, simply known as RA 10121 define disaster as a severe disruption of a community or society's day to day functioning that involves extensive physical, financial, material or ecological losses and its devastation surpass the capacity of the affected people or community to deal with utilizing its own resources.  CONCEPT OF RISK R - resources are in danger of being lost I - incident occurring in particular locale over a period of time S - surveillance is essential in disaster preparation K - (constant) Disaster Equation Risk = Hazard x Vulnerability/ Capacity Risk is defined as the measure of the expected losses due to a hazardous event occurring in a given area over a specific period of time. Taken from the perspective involving community resources risk equation is stated as: RISK = HAZARD x VULNERABILITY/CAPACITY. Risk assessment is an important aspect of disaster planning. It identifies what natural or manmade phenomenon the individual, community or country is at risk for.  NATURE OF DISASTER Natural - Natural disaster Man-made - Man-made results from an environmental disasters are cause by errors of disturbance or peril that man, either intentional or surpassed the coping capacity of accidental. the affected community Eg. Oil spills, Armed conflict, (Veenema, 2013). Eg. Volcanic Nuclear Explosions, Vehicular Eruption, Typhoons, Tsunamis, Accidents and Terrorist bombings Tornados, Floods and other hydro- etc. meteorological and geologic occurrences.  Disaster Preparedness Prepared to be self-sufficient for at least three days. Non-perishable foods Water Flashlight Portable battery operated radio/television Batteries Medicines Anti-bacterial hand wipes First-aid kit Money Seasonal clothing Sanitation supplies Republic Act No. 10121 Republic Act No. 10121 or the Philippines Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010 (DRRM) transforms the Philippines’ disaster management system towards Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). Its purpose is to reduce the risk brought by any calamities or hazards which put ones’ lives in danger and loss of many properties.  HAZARD, EXPOSURE, VULNERABILITY, AND CAPACITY Hazard A situation, condition or items that may predispose an individual, group, or community to danger thereby increasing the likelihood that a disaster can occur (Veneema, 2013). These hazards can be a consequence of a natural phenomenon or man-made threat. In some cases, uncontrolled human activity may be the reason for such. Types of Hazards Exposure The presence that makes the disaster a possibility. It measures the likelihood of a individual, target group, edifice, populace or the whole state to experience a disaster and its effects.  Vulnerability The possibility or susceptibility to acquire the consequences of disasters. It is a measure of how an object, individual, groups or a whole country to meet the consequences of a hazard. (Coppola, 2015)  Types of Vulnerability  Any question?

Describe what type of disaster you drew. Then discuss briefly – how did the disaster happen? What action did the community take? What would you do? Thank you!
