NSTP 1 - Midterms Flashcards
It is a natural or man-made hazards resulting
in physical damage or destruction, loss
of life, or drastic change to the natural
environment.
Disaster
Is the discipline that involves preparing,
warning, supporting and rebuilding
societies when natural or man-made
disasters occur.
Disaster Management
Is the discipline that involves preparing,
warning, supporting and rebuilding
societies when natural or man-made
disasters occur.
Disaster Management
- the continuous process in an effort to
avoid or minimize the impact of disasters
resulting from hazards.
Disaster Management
Goals of Disaster Management (3items)
- Avoid or reduce the potential losses
from hazards - Assure prompt and appropriate
assistance to victims of disaster - Achieve rapid and effective recovery.
Illustrates the ongoing process by
which the government and the private
sector plan for and reduce the impact of
disasters, react during and immediately
following a disaster, and take steps to
recover after a disaster has occurred.
Disaster Management Cycle
- Appropriate actions at all points in the
cycle lead to greater preparedness,
better warnings, reduced vulnerability or
the prevention of disasters during the
next iteration of the cycle.
Disaster Management Cycle
The complete disaster management
cycle includes the shaping of public
policies and plans that either modify the
causes of disasters or mitigate their
effects on people, property, and
infrastructure.
Disaster Management Cycle
The complete disaster management
cycle includes the shaping of public
policies and plans that either modify the
causes of disasters or mitigate their
effects on people, property, and
infrastructure.
Disaster Management Cycle
Includes actions taken to save lives,
prevent damage to property, and to
preserve the environment during
emergencies or disasters. It is the
implementation of action plans
Response
Includes actions that assist a
community to return to a sense of
normalcy after a disaster.
Recovery
- Any activity that reduces either
the chance of a hazard taking place or
a hazard turning into a disaster.
Mitigation
It includes building codes; zoning
and land use management; regulations
and safety codes; preventive health
care; and public education
Mitigation
Anticipatory measures and actions that
seek to avoid future risks as a result of a
disaster.
Risk Reduction
-Avoiding a disaster at the eleventh
hour.
-Includes activities that actually
eliminate or reduce the probability of
disaster occurrence, or reduce the
effects of unavoidable disasters.
Prevention
-Plans made to save lives or property,
and help the response rescue service
operations.
Preparedness
This phase covers implementation/
operation, early warning systems, and
capacity building so the population will
react appropriately when an early
warning is issued.
Preparedness
Types of disasters
Natural
Man-made
- Earthquakes/Tsunamis -
- Typhoons
- Drought
- Landslides
- Flooding
- Volcanic Eruption
Are Examples of what?
Natural Disasters
- Air & water pollution (red tide)
- Fire
- War
- Bomb Threats
- Industrial accidents (Oil Spill)
- Civil disturbances
- Accidents like transport, nuclear
or biological
Are examples of what?
Man-made disasters
Categories of Severity
- Accident
- Disaster
- Emergency
- Catastrophe
Five reasons: (for higher risks)
- Rapid population growth;
- Concentration of populations in highrisk areas like floodplains, landslideprone slopes, and seismic zones;
- Capital Development; destruction of
marches by real estate developers; - Man-made destruction, for example,
deforestation, lessened ecosystem
resilience to disaster; - Growing poverty means more lives in
increasingly substandard housing.
- Malnutrition
- Poor Health
- Inadequate basic services: water,
sanitation, drainage, light,
education - Unemployment. Low wages
Are a result of?
Poverty and Marginalization
Forest denudation
- Soil erosion
- Genetic erosion
- Marine pollution
- Agrochemicals
- Air and water pollution
Are?
Resource Depletion
Clear, simple language
- Consistent Content
- Convincing
- Community-clearly precautions
and action
- Information on technical
consequences
- Repetitive
Are characteristics of?
Effective Warning Messages
Among the activities that may minimize
the impact of disasters are:
(5 items)
- Identification of areas most prone
to typhoons and other calamities - Display and teaching of structural
improvements - Preparation of educational
materials - Community systems
- Media liaison
Disaster Preparedness (5 items)
- Principle
- Effective Warning Message
- Land Use Planning (Risk Zoning)
- Public Awareness
- The risk must be known
- Vulnerability must be known
- Mitigation measures must be in
place - Preparedness system must be in
readiness
Principle
- Mitigation Awareness
- Preparedness Awareness
- Emergency Response Awareness
Public Awareness
How do we prepare ourselves for servant
leadership?
(14 items)
- Generate enthusiasm
- Not determined by small people
- Built on strength
- High expectations
- Goal oriented
- Significance
- Team synergy
- Enrich lives of others
- live integrity
- Emphasize results, not integrity
- Manage Challenge
- understand people
- Need for Respect
- Visionary
Internalize
perpetuating values, inspiration, and
intellectual enrichment.
Generate Enthusiasm
Actual
practice of management by
integrity.
Not deterred by small people
A weakness is only
missing strength or an insufficiently
developed strength.
Built on Strength
This is the key for
developing the confidence and
ability in individuals and helping
them.
High Expectations
Servant-leaders know
we must have some future point
clearly in mind to stretch toward.
Goal Oriented
People experience
faith, hope, love and gratitude.
Significance
This occurs when the
effort of two or more people adds up
to a whole that is greater than the
sum of its parts.
Team Synergy
Seek to enrich
the lives of others by the richness of
their own.
Enrich the lives of others
Leaders know that
management by integrity is realistic
and workable.
Live Integrity
Tough-minded servant leaders
measure the performance of their
team members by results and their
contribution to team objectives.
.Emphasize results, not integrity
Require and
encourage a climate conducive to
innovation and creativity in all facets
of life.
Manage Change
Continually
strive to attain a better
understanding of people and their
differences to determine what it
takes to impel each person to

.Understand people
Mutual respect
should be observed at all times.
Need for Respect
Vision keeps the team
moving towards a goal.
- Fueled and pulled in purpose
and direction.
Visionary
