Disaster is "a serious disruption of the functioning of a 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"

hazard

Republic Act 10121

The term "____" refers to a prolonged period of time during which drier-than-normal circumstances cause a shortage of water or other problems involving water.

hydrological

storm surges, cyclones, and tornadoes

climatological

The Philippines has experienced from an inexhaustible number of deadly earthquakes, volcano eruptions, and other natural disasters. This is due to its location along the ___, a large Pacific Ocean region where many volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur.

Ring of Fire

It was passed and approved on May 27, 2010 after 21 years of revisions and refiling in the two legislative bodies. This new law, unlike the previous Presidential Decree. 1566, is proactive in giving importance to disaster mitigation and preparedness measures.

Republic Act 10121

Any substantial flow of rock or debris down a slope is referred to as a ___. Unfortunately, ___ can cause a significant amount of damage depending on their size and are relatively common in some regions of the world.

landslide

A ___ is a dangerous situation or threat caused by natural or man-made events that disrupts the functions of individuals in a community.

disaster

A ____ exposed to a hazard is prone to disaster risks. Vulnerability is often caused by limited resources, illnesses within the population, and disabilities within a community.

vulnerable community

Immediate release of calamity funds to local government units (LGUs) so they can prepare for disaster mitigation and preparedness. This is a welcome provision because local government units can utilize 70 percent of the total calamity fund to risk-reduction measures and 30 percent to quick response activities. In the old law, the LGU can only use the calamity fund for quick response activities.

Salient Point

is the product of the possible damage caused by a hazard due to the vulnerability within a community. It should be noted that the effect of a hazard. The term ____ refers to the potential (not actual and realized) disaster losses, in lives, health status, livelihoods, assets, and services which could occur in a community or society over some specified future time period.

Disaster Risk

A column of air that is rapidly rotating is what is known as a ___. They originate at the base of a cumulonimbus cloud type, and they can produce wind speeds of hundreds of miles per hour.

tornado

A ____ is a specific kind of storm that develops in the troposphere as a result of intense, wet convection. When these storms produce lightning and thunder, they are classified as thunderstorms.

thunderstorm

A____ occurs when an extreme natural event is destructive to human life and property. This event could interfere with activities in a minor way such as when strong winds blow trees down, or this event could completely disrupt activities like a large earthquake damaging your home, business or school. These natural events have been happening for thousands of years (a long time before we were even around!), but they only become hazards when humans are affected in some way.

natural hazard

Encourage others to join and organize a campaign to plant mangroves and clean up the beaches and rivers in the community

ENCOURAGE OTHERS

• Let's all do our part to preserve our precious natural resources. Cutting more trees makes our communities more vulnerable to rain and landslides.

PROTECT OUR NATURAL RESOURCES

the neighborhood must identify high-risk disaster zones and prepare an evacuation point. In the event that a calamity strikes a particular location, people must have a plan for escape.

IDENTIFY THE HIGH-RISK AREAS

- the "elements at risk from a natural or man-made hazard event

Exposure

- a potentially dangerous physical occurrence, phenomenon or human activity that may result in loss of life or injury, property damage, social and economic disruption, or environmental degradation.

Hazard

- which measures those who experience disaster first hand which has the highest risk of developing future mental problems, followed by those in contact with the victims such as rescue workers and health care practitioners and the lowest risk are those most distant like those who have awareness of the disaster only through news.

Severity of exposure

- the female gender suffers more adverse effects. This worsens when children are present at home. Marital relationships are placed under strain.

Gender and Family

• - adults in the age range of 40-60 are more stressed after disasters but in general, children exhibit more stress after disasters than adults do.

Age

- evidence indicates that severe mental problems resulting from disasters are more prevalent in developing countries like the Philippines. Furthermore, it has been observed that natural disasters tend to have more adverse effects in developing countries than do man-caused disasters in developed countries.

Economic status of country

- can increase disaster risk in a variety of ways. The UNFCCC said that climate change is the change that can be attributed "directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed comparable time periods"

Climate Change

- It is both a driver and consequence of disasters, reducing the environment to capacity of the social and ecological needs. Over consumption of natural resources results in environmental degradation, reducing the effectiveness of essential ecosystem services, such as the mitigation of floods and landslides.

Environmental Degradation

- It results an increased polarization between the rich and poor on a global scale. Currently increasing the exposure of assets in hazard prone areas, globalized economic development provides an opportunity to build resilience if effectively managed.

Globalized Economic Development

- The lack of access to insurance and social protection means that people in poverty are often forced to use their already limited assets to buffer disaster losses, which drives them into further poverty. Poverty is therefore both a cause and consequence of disaster risk (Wisner et al.,2004), particularly extensive risk, with drought being the hazard most closely associated with poverty (Shepard et al., 2013).

Poverty and Inequality

The growing rate of urbanization and the increase in population density (in cities) can lead to creation Of risk, especially when urbanization is rapid, poorly planned and occurring in a context of widespread poverty-Growing concentrations of people and economic activities in many cities are seen to overlap with areas of high-risk exposure.

Poorly planned and Managed Urban Development

• - weak governance zones are investment environments in which public sector actors are unable or unwilling to assume their roles and responsibilities in providing protecting rights, basic services and public services.

Weak Governance
