NAT FUCKING SCI Flashcards
a serious disruption of the functioning of a community
Disaster
a natural phenomenon is caused by natural forces, such as earthquakes, typhoon, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornados, extreme temperature
Natural Disasters
source or condition that has the potential to cause harm to humans in the form of injury o illness, property damage, environmental damage, or a combination of these
Hazards
Elements of Disaster Risk
Exposure
Hazard
Vulnerability
the “elements at risk from a natural or man-made hazard event
Exposure
a potentially dangerous phenomenon that may result in loss of life or
injury, property damage, social and economic disruption, or environmental degradation
Hazard
the condition determined by physical, social, economic and environmental
factors or processes, which increase the susceptibility of a community to the impact of hazard
Vulnerability
are processes or conditions, often development related, that influence the level of disaster risk by increasing levels of exposure and vulnerability or reducing capacity
Risk Reduction
measures those who experience disaster first hand which has the highest risk of developing future mental problems
Severity of Exposure
the female gender suffers more adverse effects. This worsens when children are present at home
Gender and Family
children exhibit stress after disasters than adults do
Age
severe mental problems resulting from disasters are more prevalent in developing countries like the Philippines
Economic status of the country
can increase disaster risk– by altering the frequency and intensity of hazards events, affecting vulnerability
Climate change
changes to the environment can influence the frequency and intensity of hazards, as well as our exposure and vulnerability to these hazards
Environmental degradation
It results in an increased polarization between the rich and poor on a global scale
Globalized Economic Development
therefore both a cause and consequence of disaster risk (Wisner et al., 2004) the poor tend to suffer worst from disasters
Poverty and Inequality
The growing rate of urbanization and the increase in population density (in cities) can lead to creation of risk
Poorly planned and Managed Urban Development
public sector actors are unable or unwilling to assume their roles and responsibilities in protecting rights, providing basic services and public
services
Weak Governance
The country’s location makes it vulnerable to storms that cause flooding, mudslides, and typhoons
Geographical Location
many people need to abandon their homes and seek shelter in other regions
Displaced Population
Aside from the obvious immediate danger that natural disasters present, the secondary effect can be just as damaging
Health Risk
The aftermath of natural disasters affects the food supplies
Food Scarcity
Confronted with scenes of destruction and the deaths of friends and loved ones, many children develop PTSD
PTSD- post-traumatic stress disorder- a serious psychological condition resulting from extreme trauma
Emotional Aftershock
Different Impacts of Hazards
Physical Impact
Psychological Impact
Socio-Cultural Impact
Economic Impact
Environmental Impact
Biological Impact
