Q

A new wave of urbanization
is unfolding in hazard-exposed countries and with it, new opportunities for resilient
investment emerge. People, poverty, and disaster risk are increasingly concentrated
in cities

Q

Impoverished people are more likely to live in hazardexposed areas and are less able to invest in risk-reducing measures. 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.

Q

is the presence of elements at risk or chance of being harmed from a natural or man-made hazard event.

A

Exposure

31
Q

means the characteristics and circumstances of a community, system, or asset, that make it susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard and inability of a community to prevent, mitigate, prepare for and

respond to hazardous events.

A

Vulnerability

32
Q

implies the probability of possible adverse effects.

A

Risk

33
Q

is a serious disruption to the functioning of a community or society which causes widespread human, material, economic or environmental losses that exceed the capacity of the community or society concerned to cope with the use of their own resources.

A

Disaster

34
Q

Disasters can be divided into 2 large categories

A

Natural Disasters
Man-made Disasters

35
Q

a natural phenomenon is caused by natural forces, such as earthquakes, typhoon, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, fires, tornados, and extreme temperatures.

A

Natural Disasters

36
Q

Disasters caused by man are those in which major direct causes are identifiable intentional or non-intentional human actions.

A

Man-made Disasters

37
Q

Subdivided into three categories:

A

Technological/Industrial Disaster
Terrorism/ Violence
Complex humanitarian emergencies

38
Q

the term complex emergency is usually used to describe the humanitarian emergency resulting from an international or civil war. In such situations, large numbers of people are displaced from their homes due to the lack of personal safety and the disruption of basic infrastructure including food distribution, water, electricity, and sanitation, or communities are left stranded and isolated in their own homes unable to access assistance

A

Complex humanitarian emergencies

39
Q

the threat of terrorism has also increased due to

the spread of technologies involving nuclear, biological, and chemical agents used to develop weapons of mass destruction.

A

Terrorism/Violence

40
Q

Unregulated industrialization and inadequate safety standards increase the risk for industrial disasters.

A

Emotional Aftershock

44
Q

The aftermath of natural disasters affects the food supplies.

A

Food Scarcity

45
Q

Aside from the obvious immediate danger that natural disasters present, the secondary effect can be just as damaging.

Q

One of the most immediate effects of natural disasters is

A

Population Displacement

47
Q

The Different Perspectives of Disaster

A

Physical Perspective
Psychological Perspective
Socio-cultural Perspective
Political Perspective
Biological Perspective

48
Q

Victims of disasters may suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other serious mental health conditions, which are not being given much attention to by the authorities or even by the victims, themselves

A

Psychological Perspective

49
Q

Filipinos are generally known as “matusin”, resourceful, helpful, optimistic, and prayerful. These characteristics are manifested in the country’s recent fight against COVID19.Due to the National Health Emergency, Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) prevailed in the whole country

A

Socio-cultural Perspective

50
Q

Disasters affect the economic condition of a community because they reduce local and international trade

A

Economic Perspective

51
Q

Natural disasters are commonly thought to be less politically argumentative than armed conflicts, yet a closer look shows that both the effects of a natural disaster and the resulting distribution of humanitarian aid are profoundly linked to politics.

A

52
Q

A

Biological Perspective

53
Q

Calamities are phenomena that cause great physical damage in a

community infrastructure, its people and their properties, e.g. houses and environmental sources of living. These cited effects of a disaster can be easily measured and the most common.

A

Physical Perspective

54
Q

Vulnerability is a state of being at risk.

A

Vulnerability Defined

55
Q

Vulnerabilities of different elements are determined due to its exposure to particular and specific hazard.

A

Physical Vulnerability
Social Vulnerability
Economic Vulnerability
Environmental Vulnerability
Socioeconomic Vulnerability

56
Q

is caused by natural resources

depletion and destruction.

A

Environmental Vulnerability

57
Q

happens due to inability of people, organization, and societies to prevent severe effects from hazards because of the expected behavior in social interactions, institutions, and system of cultural values.

A

Social Vulnerability

58
Q

Social and economic vulnerability can be combined also known as

A

Socioeconomic Vulnerability

59
Q

is based on the economic status of individuals, communities, and nations.

A

Economic Vulnerability

60
Q

includes population density levels, place of a settlement, the site design, and materials used for infrastructure and housing.

A

61
Q

measures are those that eliminate or reduce the impacts and risks of hazards by means of proactive measures taken before an emergency or disaster takes place

A

Disaster mitigation

62
Q

Hazards can be categorized in different types

A

Natural Hazards
Quasi-natural hazards
Technological (man-made) hazards

63
Q

These arise directly as a result of

human activities. e.g. accidental release of chemicals, toxic and pesticides to floral and fauna

A

Technological (man-made) hazards

64
Q

arise through the interaction of natural processes and human activities e.g. pollution or desertification, smog and fog

A

Quasi-natural hazards

65
Q

arise from natural processes in the environment.

e.g. earthquakes, tsunami, landslides, volcanic eruptions and floods

A

Natural hazards
