NSTP Module 4 Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Part 2

Activity 1

Geographic Hazards and Disaster Risk Profiles of the Philippines

Answer the following questions.
1. Identify and make a list of hazards in your barangay
- Improper waste disposal and improper drainage system
2. Based on the characteristics of persons and their situation that influences in facing
natural hazards, describe two ways by which vulnerability is linked to environment.

- poor design and construction of buildings,

- inadequate protection of assets,
- lack of public information and awareness,
- limited official recognition of risks and preparedness measures, and.
- disregard for wise environmental management

3. What are the ways in changing/influencing value orientations, beliefs, and norms
towards pro-environmental behavior?
- The socio-ecological model might be utilized (SEM). Individual, communal, and
institutional reactions to climate change by low-income households in Khulna,
Bangladesh, were the focus of Haque, Dodman, and Hossain's (2014) research. In this
study, researchers in Khulna, Bangladesh, chose the socio ecological model (SEM) for
climate change studies to examine low-income households' pro-environmental behavior
and their social structure. It was the interactions between people and their surroundings
that changed or influenced their value orientations, beliefs, and social norms.
4. What are the suitable and the most effective forms, ways, approaches, tools for
DISASTER EDUCATION of YOUTH?
- Making a presentation with movie clips and following explanations of what went wrong
and what should have been done to avoid the issue is the best way to teach adults about
disaster management.

Reflection
Answer the following questions:

- Disaster preparedness education can give people the knowledge and skills they need
to live and survive during and after calamities, especially children and young
people.

What is the importance of disaster risk reduction and management awareness?

- Disaster risk reduction (DRR) spending protects our development achievements
from the future while also saving lives and money. DRR investments don't just
reduce disaster losses. Additionally, they produce advantages for the economy,
society, and environment that improve the resilience of nations and communities.
Generalization
Discuss the geographic hazards and risk profiles of the Philippines.
- The Philippines, one of the most disaster-prone nations on earth, is frequently
affected by earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and flooding. The
Philippines' geographic location makes it susceptible to a wide range of natural
disasters, including earthquakes, tropical cyclones, and flooding. Tropical cyclones
had a 9.5 danger index point rating in 2021 compared to a 10 risk index point rating
for earthquakes that occurred in the nation.

Reinforcement/Deepen
