UNIT X: DISASTER MANAGEMENT Flashcards
Is a dangerous phenomenon, substance, human activity or condition that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihood & services, social & economic disruption or environmental damage
Hazard
Could be a potentially damaging phenomenon
Hazard
T or F: Hazards are all natural
F
can be human-induced
The degree to which the element at risk are likely to experience hazard events of different magnitude
Exposure
Is the characteristics and circumstances of community, system or asset that make it susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard
Vulnerability
Vulnerability may arise from various p______, s_____,
e______ & e_______ factors
physical; social; economic; environmental
Is the combination of all strengths and resources available within the community, society or organization that can reduce the level of risk or e ffects of a disaster
Capacity
Opposite of vulnerability
Capacity
Is the combination of Probability of an event to happen and its negative consequences
Risk
Formula for solving Risk
R= (Hazard * Vulnerability (Exposure)) / Capacity
Top 1 risk over a 2-yr period
Cost of living crisis
Top 1 risk over a 10-yr period
Failure to mitigate climate change
The Philippines is at ____ risk for humanitarian crises and disasters
High
Potential Risk Treatments
Avoidance
Reduction
Sharing
Retention
(eliminate, withdraw from
the risk area)
Avoidance
In the perimeter of Taal Volcano, there should be a certain kilometer danger zone wherein people should not be living. This refers to
Total avoidance
(optimize resources to mitigate e ffects )
Reduction
(risk transfer or enroll in insurance)
Sharing
(accept, plan - formulate ConPlan, Evac Plan, and provision of budget)
Retention
T or F: In retention, if you’re not gonna change anything or do not apply the first three, then you atleast should have plans
T
a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society involving widespread human, material, economic or environmental losses and impacts, which exceeds the ability of the a ected community or society to cope using its own resource
Disaster
Special funds for disasters
Disaster relief
often described as a result of the combination of:
the exposure to a hazard; the conditions of vulnerability, and insufficient capacity
Disaster
Extremely high risk that has been realized is a
Disaster
impacts may include loss of life, injury, disease and other negative e ffects on human, physical, mental and social well-being, together with damage to property, destruction of assets, loss of services, social and economic disruption and environmental degradation
Disaster
any tragic event stemming from events such as earthquakes, floods, catastrophic accidents, fires, or explosions. It is a phenomenon that can cause damage to life and property and destroy the economic, social and cultural life of people.
Disaster
A disaster is a ______ or ________ (or _______) hazard resulting in an event of substantial extent causing significant physical damage or destruction, loss of life, or drastic change to the environment.
natural; man-made/technological
A consequence when a natural hazard aff ects humans and/or the built environment
Natural disaster
Human vulnerability, and lack of appropriate emergency management, leads to
financial, environmental, or human impact
T or F: The resulting loss depends on the capacity of the population to support or resist the disaster: their resilience
T
The understanding of natural disaster is concentrated in the formulation:
“Disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability”
T or F: A natural hazard will hence never result in a natural disaster in areas without vulnerability.
T
dapat vulnerable sila para maapektuhan
Man-made disaster is also known as
Human induced disasters
consequences of
technological or human hazards.
Man-made disasters
Examples include stampedes, fires, transport accidents, industrial accidents, oil spills, war, and nuclear explosions/radiation.
Man-made disasters
T or F: As with natural hazards, man-made hazards are events that have not happened, for instance terrorism.
T
T or F: Man-made disasters are examples of specific cases where man-made hazards have become reality in an event.
T
Increasing disaster impacts
increased population
climate change
increased vulnerability
When is an event a disaster?
- at least 20% population
- at least 40% means of livelihood
- destroyed and impassable roads
- widespread destruction
- epidemics
The concept and practice of reducing disaster risks through systematic e fforts to analyze and manage the causal factors of disasters
Disaster Risk Reduction
The systematic process of using administrative directives, organizations, and operational skills and capacities to implement strategies, policies and improved coping capacities in order to lessen the adverse impacts of hazards and the possibility of disaster.
Disaster Risk Management
Refers to risk reduction and management of activities that address and seek to avoid the development of new or increased disaster risks, especially if risk reduction policies are not put in place
Prospective disaster risk reduction and management
The potential disaster losses in lives, health status, livelihood, assets and services, which could occur to a particular community or a society over some specified future time period
Disaster Risk
T or F: We need to manage risks, not just disasters
T
How do we reduce risk?
- Disaster Prevention
- Disaster Mitigation
- Transfer
- Disaster Preparedness
The outright avoidance of adverse impacts of hazards and related disasters
Disaster Prevention
It expresses the concept and intention to completely avoid potential adverse impacts through action taken in advance
Disaster Prevention
Activities and measures to avoid existing and new disaster risks (often less costly than disaster relief and response).
Disaster Prevention
The lessening or limitation of the adverse impacts of hazards and related disasters.
Disaster Mitigation
the process of formally or informally shifting the financial consequences of particular risks from one party to another whereby a household, community, enterprise or state authority will obtain resources from the other party after a disaster occurs, in exchange for ongoing or compensatory social or financial benefits provided to that other party.
Sharing
pre-disaster actions and measures being undertaken within the context of disaster risk reduction and management and are based on sound risk analysis as well as pre-disaster activities to avert or minimize loss of life and property
Disaster Preparedness
