INTRODUCTION TO DISASTER CONCEPTS
LEARNING COMPETENCIES Explain the meaning of disaster; Differentiate the risk factors underlying disasters; Describe the effects of disasters on ones life; Explain how and when an event becomes a disaster;
Name the place in the Philippines that considered the safest part when the Big One hits.
TRIVIA Did you know that?! Palawan is allegedly the safest part in the Philippines when The Big One earthquake hits.
TRIVIA Did you know that?! Palawan has no fault lines and will most likely not be affected once The Big One hits the country.
KEY TERMS Hazard a dangerous phenomenon, substance, human activity or condition that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage. Disaster 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 affected community or society to cope using its own resources. Risk the possibility that something bad or unpleasant will happen.
ACTIVITY 1: THE FISH BOWL Directions: 1. Write your name on 1/8 sheet of yellow paper. 2. Roll your paper and put it inside the first fish bowl. 3. On another 1/8 sheet of yellow paper, write your question about disasters. 4. Roll your paper and put it inside the second fish bowl. 5. Your teacher will randomly pick from the first bowl the paper bearing the name of your classmate who shall answer the question that your teacher subsequently picks from the second bowl. 6. The chosen student will be given a minute to answer the question.
A hazard is a dangerous phenomenon, substance, human activity or condition. It may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage.
MEANING OF DISASTER Disaster is defined as a crisis situation causing wide spread damage which far exceeds our ability to recover. Thus, by definition, there cannot be a perfect ideal system that prevents damage, because then it would not be a disaster. Their possibility of occurrence, time, place, and severity of the strike can be reasonably and in some cases accurately predicted by technological and scientific advances.
ACTIVITY 1:COUNT ME IN Direction: Write five (5) disastrous events in the Philippines in the last five years that you could still recall. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.
ACTIVITY 1.1 UNDERSTANDING DISASTER Atomic Bomb in Hiroshima, Japan Earthquake in Pakistan
INSTRUCTIONS:ANALYZE THE GIVEN IMAGES AND ANSWER THE GIVEN QUESTIONS BELOW: 1. In two to three sentences, describe the given images. 2. List down the disasters that you can identify from the images.
introduction to disaster concepts module
Natural hazards are defined as environmental phenomena that have the potential to impact societies and the human environment A natural disaster is the highly harmful impact on a society or community following a natural hazard event
TYPES OF DISASTERS The two types of disasters are natural disasters and man-made disasters. Natural disaster include earthquakes, floods, landslides, etc. On the other hand, man-made disasters include war, bomb blasts and chemical leaks.The disasters often differ in quantity of damage caused or in quality of the type of medical consequences.
TYPES OF DISASTERS Atomic Bomb in Hiroshima, Japan Earthquake in Pakistan
UNDERLYING RISKS FACTORS There are some underlying factors which increase disaster, and which need to be addresses in order to reduce overall risk. These include environmental problems, such as declining ecosystems, social and economic vulnerabilities, and climate change. Pillar 4 of the Hyogo Framework for Action which states that disaster risks related to changing social, economic, environmental conditions and land use, and the impact of hazards associated with geological events, weather, water, climate change, are addressed in sector development planning and programmes as well as in post-disaster situations.
RISK AND DISASTER RISK Risk has various connotations within different disciplines. In general, risk is defined as the combination of the probability of an event and its negative consequences (UNISDR, 2009). The term risk is thus multidisciplinary and is used in a variety of contexts. It is usually associated with the degree to which humans cannot cope (lack of capacity) with a situation (e.g. natural hazard).
The term disaster risk refers to the potential (not actual and realized) disaster losses, in lives, health status, livelihoods, assets, and services which could occur in a community or society over some specified future time period Disaster risk is the product of the possible damage caused by a hazard due to the vulnerability within a community.
EFFECTS OF DISASTERS Danger of Death Physical Injury Emotional/ Mental problems Physical Health problems Damaged natural environment Economic environment issue Disruption/loss Built environment
EFFECTS OF DISASTERS ON ONES LIFE Danger of Death
FROM NATURAL EVENT TO DISASTER When determining whether a natural event will be categorized as a disaster, emergency managers and responders need to know who and what is at risk. In tailoring response to specific populations, people may want to ensure warnings go out in multiple languages and translators are available in shelters if an area has a large foreign language speaking population. A natural vent only becomes a disaster when it impacts human life, property, or livelihood.
1. how will you differentiate natural from man-made disasters? Explain your answer in 2-3 sentences. 2. give a natural disaster you experienced within your locality or you had heard from the news recently. What makes it a natural disaster? 3. Give a man-made disaster you experienced within your locality or you had heard from the news recently.
ACTIVITY 1.5 COMPARE & CONTRAST Disaster and Human Induced Hazard Direction: In this activity, you need to make aVenn Diagram to shoe the comparison between Disaster and Human Induced Disaster.
