Epidemiology: Risk is the probability that a particular outcome will occur following a particular exposure.  Risk analysis- is the systematic identification, evaluation, and assessment of risk objects and hazards. Disaster risk-the potential disaster losses in lives, health status, livelihood, assets and services that could occur to a particular community or a society over some specified future time.  Disaster risk assessment- it is a methodology to determine the nature and extent of risk by analyzing potential hazards and evaluating existing conditions of vulnerability that together could potentially harm exposed people, property, services, livelihood, and the environment on which they depend.  DISASTER RISK REDUCTION The working formula for disaster risk assessment (DRA) as basis for disaster risk reduction (DRR) Where: Exposure (E) is the number of “people, property, systems, or other elements present in hazard zones that are thereby subject to potential losses.” Coping Capacity (C) is “the ability of people, organizations and systems, using available skills and resources, to face and managed adverse conditions, emergencies or disasters” Where: Hazard (H) as defined earlier Vulnerability (V) the quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally.  ANATOMY OF DISASTERS (EVOLUTION RISK AND ANALYSIS) Natural phenomenon may be of geological (earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption, landslide, etc.) and hydro-meteorological (typhoon, storm surges, flood, etc.) A natural phenomenon becomes hazard if it becomes a potential for a natural or human-caused evet to occur with negative consequences.  ANATOMY OF DISASTERS (EVOLUTION RISK AND ANALYSIS) A hazard becomes an emergency, a situation that requires immediate attention, but in which the community is still capable of coping. Emergency becomes a disaster when the emergency moves beyond the control of the population. It is a situation in which the community is incapable of coping, exceeding the affected community’s capability to respond, therefore the community weeks that assistance of government and international agencies. Natural Phenomenon Volcanic Eruption Earthquake A natural phenomenon becomes hazard Volcanic Eruption Earthquake A hazard becomes an emergency Fire Incident Emergency becomes a disaster After the typhoon  NATURE AND EFFECTS OF DISASTER Tropical cyclone (Tropical depression, tropical storm, and typhoon) Flood (caused by excessive rainfall) Storm surge (caused by strong winds and low pressure of a typhoon) Earthquake (Tectonic and volcanic) Tsunami (Caused by Earthquake) Volcanic Eruption Landslide (Caused by rainfall or earthquake)  Generally, natural hazard may be classified as: Geophysical ( earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, and volcanic activity) Hydrological (Floods, storm surges) Climatological (Drought, wildfires, extreme temperatures) Meteorological (Tropical cyclones and storms/ wave surges) Biological ( Disease epidemics and insect/animal plagues)  TYPICAL EFFECTS OF NATURAL HAZARDS (IN GENERAL TERMS) Disruption of essential Loss of life services Injury Damage to Damage to property infrastructures Damage to crops and trees Economic loss of Disruption of human activities community Psycho-social traumatic Loss of livelihood effects Alteration of geological  For You What is Hazard?
