Basic concept of

Disaster and
Disaster Risk
Lesson Objectives:

- Understand the meaning of disaster


- Justify the different kinds of disasters
that are common; the Philippines has
experience.
- Observe surroundings and every
situation that you may encounter
- Appreciate the significance of knowing
disaster risks and how it may affect ones
life.
Give some disastrous
events in the
Philippines in the last
five years that you
could

still recall.
If you were one of the affected by
the disaster, how can you survive
from it? Why? What will you do?

These originate from the different forces' of
nature. Natural disasters such as earthquakes
volcanic eruptions typhoons and cyclones affect
many countries in Asia particuIarIy the
Philippines.
These disasters occur due to people’s actions
against humans materials and environnment. These
include transport and industrial accidents such
as air and train crashes chemical spills and building
collapses. Terrorism is also categorized as human-

Risk Factors Underlying
Disasters
 Climate change can
increase disaster risk
in a variety of ways –
by altering the
frequency and
intensity of hazards
events, affecting
vulnerability to
hazards, and
changing exposure
patterns.
Risk Factors Underlying
Disasters
 Environmental
Degradation It is
both a driver and
consequence of
disasters, reducing
the capacity of the
environment to meet
social and ecological
needs.

Globalized Economic
Development
Developing urban
areas can have a big
expense on the
environment.
Risk Factors Underlying
Disaster
 Povertyand Inequality
Poverty is both a
driver and
consequence of
disasters, and the
processes that further
disaster risk related
poverty are
permeated with
inequality.
Risk Factors Underlying
Disasters
 Weak Governance Weak
governance zones are
investment environments
in which public sector
actors are unable or
unwilling to assume their
roles and responsibilities
in protecting rights,
providing basic services
and public services.
The following are also taken into consideration
when risk factors underlying disaster are involved:

 Severity of exposure - which measures those who


experience disaster firsthand 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.
 Gender and Family - the female gender suffers more
adverse effects. This worsens when children are present
at home. Marital relationships are placed under strain.
 Age- 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
 Economic status of country - 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.
WW #1
1. Using three sentences, defend the importance of
studying Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction
2. Give three example of natural and man made
disaster. Be specific! EX: 2011 TOHOKU
EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI, INDIA
3. Give one example of situations on each risk factors
underlying disaster
Example: Weak Governance/Corrupt Politicians

Note: Do not use the situations used on Activity no. 2


Performance Task no. 1
Direction: Suppose you are invited by the SK
Chairman in your barangay as a resource speaker to
your fellow age group during an Environmental
Awareness Activity and you were asked to give
emphasis on the risk factors underlying disasters so
that young people will be equipped with knowledge on
how to mitigate the effects of a disaster. Have a
concept in mind of how you are going to deliver the
information. Write down what you want to deliver to
the audience.
