DRRR Week 1-4 Flashcards
IS DEFINED AS A SERIOUS DISRUPTION OF THE FUNCTIONING OF A COMMUNITY OR A SOCIETY AT ANY SCALE DUE TO HAZARDOUS EVENTS.
DISASTER
AN EVENT IS ALREADY A DISASTER IF..
A HAZARD HAS ALREADY AFFECTED A POPULATION MAKING THEM VULNERABLE
IS THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF LIFE, INJURY OR DESTROYED OR DAMAGED ASSETS.
DISASTER RISK
DISASTER RISK FORMULA
Disaster risk= Hazard x exposure x vulnerability/capacity
DR= H* E * V/C
IS DEFINED AS A PROCESS, PHENOMENON, OR HUMAN ACTIVITY THAT MAY CAUSE LOSS OF LIFE, INJURY OR HEALTH IMPACTS, PROPERTY DAMAGE, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DISRUPTION, OR EVEN ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION.
HAZARD
IS THE SITUATION OF PEOPLE, INFRASTRUCTURE, HOUSING, AND OTHER TANGIBLE HUMAN ASSETS LOCATED IN HAZARD-PRONE AREAS.
EXPOSURE
IS A CONDITION DETERMINED BY PHYSICAL, SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS OF PROCESSES WHICH INCREASES THE SUSCEPTIBILITY OF AN INDIVIDUAL
VULNERABILITY
IS THE COMBINATION OF ALL STRENGTHS, ATTRIBUTES, AND RESOURCES AVAILABLE
CAPACITY
THESE ARE THE FACTORS THAT PROMOTE OF INCREASE THE RISK OF A DISASTER
DISASTER RISK DRIVERS
mga disaster risk drivers (familiarize nalang)
* CLIMATE CHANGE POVERTY
* SOCIO-ECONOMIC INEQUALITY
* INCREASE POPULATION DENSITY / GROWTH
* RAPID AND UNPLANNED URBANIZATION
* ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION
* LACK OF AWARENESS WEAK GOVERNANCE
The effects of disaster is focused where
on how it damaged the community.
This is what will the LGU will take inconsideration in planning out or giving out their resilience / capacity.
THE EFFECTS OF DISASTER
THE EFFECTS OF DISASTER
kahit di mo memorized lahat basta ma familiarize
- DEATH / MORTALITIES / INJURIES / MISSING PERSONS
- DIPLACED POPULATION
- HEALTH RISKS
- FOOD SCARCITY AND WATER SHORTAGE
- EMOTIONAL AFTERSHOCKS
- ECONOMIC LOSS
- INFRASTRACTURE AND PROPERTY
- DAMAGES
are used to assess the damages,the possibility offuture damages to the community.
DISASTERS FROM DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
What are these different perspectives
- Physical
- Psychological
- Socio - Cultural
- Economic
- Political
- Biological
PPSEPB
Damages to physical elements such as on people and their properties, and buildings and other infrastructures
PHYSICAL PERSPECTIVE
Serious mental and emotional consequences of a disaster to a victim
PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE
This refers to the behavior of communities and societies towards hazards and disaster
SOCIO - CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE
Refers to the loss caused by disasters on human physical and financial capital, or the impact of disasters on economic growth
ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE
The role of government and its institutions on disaster preparedness, mitigation, prevention, response,recovery, and rehabilitation.
POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE
Involvement ofliving organisms that can spread diseases, orthe sudden growth of population of pests
BIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE
Refers to the elements at risk that can be affected by hazards or are present in the hazard zone that are subject to potential losses.
EXPOSURE
Categories of exposed elements:
- Physical elements
- societal elements
- economic elements
- environmental elements
PSEE
A category of exposed elements related to:
* Infrastructures such as bridges, roads,railways, harbors, and airports.
* Essential facilities such as schools, hospitals etc.
* Utilities
* Transportation and communication
* facilities
Physical elements
A category of exposed elements related to:
* Vulnerable age groups (elderly and children), persons with disability,
homeless etc.
Societal elements
A category of exposed elements related to:
* business and trade activities, transport, productivity and pportunity costs
Economic elements
A category of exposed elements related to:
* biodiversity, and environmental resources such as land, water and air
Environmental elements
Refers to the susceptibility of an individual, community, asset, or system to the assets of hazards
VULNERABILITY
Vulnerability dimensions:
hint, apat to
*physical
*social
* economic
* environmental
PSEE
Vulnerability dimension which refers to the geography, location, and
place of the population at risk, and the site, design and materials used for
physical structures
PHYSICAL
Vulnerability dimension that includes demography, displacement and migration, level of education and literacy, health, and well-being etc.
SOCIAL
Vulnerability dimension that refers to susceptibility of an economic system to the effects of a possible disaster
ECONOMIC
Environmental dimension which includes the regulation of the ecosystem, ecosystem degradation, depletion of the naturalresources etc
ENVIRONMENTAL
Variations of vulnerability
- children
- senior citizen
- women
- persons with disabilities
- ethnic minorities
- survivors of conflict and violence
- urban poor
They are not fully developed physically and emotionally and have a poor capability to defend themselves from abuse and exploitation. As a vulnerable sector they should be provided with special protection needs
Children
The elderly may have poor health conditions which can worsen during a disaster. They would require assistance in terms of source of income, supply of medicines or access to medical facilities.
Senior citizens
Some women have less opportunities for work and lower wages due to discrimination and gender inequality. Pregnant omen and those who underwent childbirth would need pre- and post-natal care
Women
They are often not reached by disaster warning systems or are not included in disaster plans. Due to their conditions, they would require higher level of protection and easy access to specifed healthcare
Persons with Disability
Disaster may force indigenous people to flee from their homes and relocate to distant places. They are vulnerable to misrepresentation and discrimination due to cultural differences. They may also have less of income generating opportunties when displaced by disaster events
Ethnic minorities
Aside from physical needs, victims of conflict and violence would also need counselling to help them recover from disaster. They may also need protections as they are vulnerable to abuse.
Survivors of conflict and Violence
Those with low income and unsecure livelihoods are less likely to have greater capacity to withsrand its effects of disaster. It is possible that laborers in the informal sector be displace due to the circumstances of disaster.
Urban poor
If there are no exposed elements or the exposed elements have low vulnerability, there is no disaster risk

Recognizing vulnerability (4 elements)
- Physical elements
- societal elements
- economic elements
- environmental elements
Recognizing vulnerability:
* poorly made and planned establishments
* faulty wiring, gas, water leaks
PHYSICAL
ELEMENTS
Recognizing vulnerabilities:
* inadequate knowledge or training
* population of vulnerable age groups
* lack of insurance or social protection
SOCIETAL
ELEMENTS
Recognizing elements:
* unsustainable livelihood or business
* poor accessibility to work
* ban on tourism activities
* unstable price of raw building materials
ECONOMIC
ELEMENTS
Recognizing elements:
* possible leakage of harmful substances to the environment
* introduction of invasive species habitat destruction
ENVIRONMENTAL
ELEMENTS
These are categories and associated that can be used to recognize vulnerability.
Vulnerability monitoring and assessment
acronym ng lahat ng vulnerability monitoring eme: PGHHWECTE
THIS REFERS TO THE POPULATIONS WHO NEED MORE INTERVENTION, MOST ESPECIALLY DURING AND AFTER THE DISASTER
POPULATIONS OF CONCERNS
GENDER-BASED DIFFERENCES RELATIVE TO ACCESSIBILITY OF OPPORTUNITIES, SERVICE, RESOURCES, AND POSITIONS IN ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL STRUCTURES SHOULD BE CONSIDERED WHEN DISASTER STRIKES.
GENDER CONCERNS
REFERS TO THE POPULATION’S STATUS OF GENERAL HEALTH
HEALTH OUTCOMES
REFERS TO THE CAPACITY AND AVAILABILITY OF HEALTH CARE
HEALTH SERVICES
REFERS TO THE GENERAL STATE AND QUALITY OF POTABLE WATER, AND THE STATE OF SEWAGE DISPOSAL
WATER AND SANITATION
THE ACCESS TO FORMAL AND NON-FORMAL EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM SHOULD BE ADDRESSED ACCORDINGLY.
EDUCATION
THIS REFERS TO THE AVAILABILITY OD AND ACCESS TO COMMUNICATION FACILITIES
COMMUNICATION
THE AVAILABILITY OF AND ACCESS TO TRANPORTATION NETWORKS AND FACILITIES INCLUDES TRAFFIC DENSITY IN ROAD AND HIGHWATS, DISTANCE OF AIRPORT AND SEAPORTS, ACCESSIBILITY OF TRAVEL WITHIN AND ACROSS AREAS ETC.
TRANSPORTATION
REFERS TO THE CHANGES IN THE ENVIRONMENT DUE TO HUMAN ACTIVITIES.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRESSURES
HOW CAN WE REDUCE THE DISASTER RISK?
PREVENTION, MITIGATION, ADAPTATION
AIMS TO COMPLETELY AVOID OR ELIMINATE THE
HAZARD OR THE EXPOSURE TO ITS EFFECTS
PREVENTION
AIMS TO REDUCE, LESSEN, AND LIMIT THE HAZARD OF THE EXPOSURE TO ITS EFFECTS THROUGH EXTERNAL INTERVENTION METHODS.
MITIGATION
INCLINED TO CHANGES IN HUMAN BEHAVIOR TO REDUCE EXPOSURE AND VULNERABILITY
ADAPTATION
