Disasters Awareness
Preparedness and
Management
2. INTRODUCTION
The Philippines is located in the circum-pacific belt of Fire and
typhoon. This being so, the country has always been subjected
to natural disaster and calamities-floods, typhoons,
turnadoes, earthquake, drough, fire, tsunamis, and volcanic
eruption which have brought incessant miseries to our people.
No to loss of lives and properties
3. Objective:
• Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM)
concepts, principles and trends (RA 10121)
• Geographic Profile of the Philippines
• Disaster Risk Profile of the Philippines (focus on
specific region/area where the school is located)
• Four thematic areas of the Philippine Disaster
Management System
4. What is Disaster Awareness
Preparedness and Management?
- Disaster awareness denotes the extent of knowledge about
disaster risks, and the factors that lead to disasters influence the
actions that could be taken individually or collectively to address
exposure and vulnerability to hazards,
-Disaster preparedness denotes the measures that are taken to
prepare for/reduce.
-Management the systematic approach and practice in managing
uncertainly to minimize potential harm and loss. It comprise risk
assessment and analysis, and the implementation of strategies and
specific action to control, reduce and transfer risk.

6. Disaster risk reduction and
management.
Is a series of actions (programmes,
projects, and/measures) and instruments
expressly aimed at reducing disaster risk
in endangered regions, and mitigating
extent of disasters.
7. DRRM CONCEPTS, PRINCIPLES AND
TRENDS (RA 10121)
Disaster risk reduction (DRR) is a systematic
approach to identifying, assessing and
reducing the risks of disasters.
It aims to reduce socio-economic
vulnerabilities to a disaster as well as dealing
with the environmental and other hazards that
trigger them.
8. The concept of disaster risk
reduction and management
(DRRM) accepts that some hazard
events may occur but tries to lessen
the impact by improving the
community’s ability to absorb the
impact with minimum damage or
destruction.
9. Operationally, it includes risk
assessment, disaster prevention and
mitigation and disaster preparedness.
It is used to underscore the current
trend of taking a proactive approach
to hazards
posed by extreme natural
phenomena.
10. EXAMPLES OF DRRM ACTIVITIES
•Building code revision and implementation
•Hazard and vulnerability analysis
•Zoning and land use management
•Public awareness and education
•Early warning system (forecasting and etc.)
11. The components of Disasters risk
reductiontaken before the disaster.
Disasters Risk Reduction is a process which is done
before a disaster, strikes and consist with 5 steps.
• Risk Identification
• Risk Analysis
• Risk Priorization
• Risk Treatment
• Monitoring and Evaluation
12. Risk Identification
-The Risk Identification stage identifies
the hazard, potential threats are
identified base party on experience and
records.
14. Risk Prioritization
-The Risk Prioritization step analyzes
and identifies priority subjects (hazard,
areas and elements at risk) requiring
treatment.
15. Risk Treatment
-The Risk Treatment stage identifies the
cause of the risk, identifies treatment
strategies, and prepares and
emplements treatment plans.
16. Monitoring and evaluation
-Monitoring and evaluation overseas
the implementation progress of the of
the disasters risk management process.
This stage also conduct periodic
investigation of progress and analysis of
impact and achievements.
17. Look at those pictures :
those pictures are examples of man-made disaster and natural disaster
18. Kinds of Disaster:
• Man- made disasters- it is disaster resulting from
human intent, negligence, or error. The results are
usually wide scale destruction, and high cost.
• Natural disaster- is the effect of natural hazard. Ex.
Flood, earthquake, volcanic eruption, strong winds,
typhoon, drought, tsunami.
19. Theories of Disaster:
a. Disaster is an Act of God- were viewed as divine retribution
for human misdeeds and failings. Thus the old old biblical idea
of disaster as act of God include the notion of a God acting in
response of human failings (for example, in the epidemic of HIV,
is just punishment for behavior they see as immoral,
“catastrophic”, “earthquake”, as God’s way of controlling the
relentless rise of population.”
b. Disaster as an Act of Nature- Natural disasters have come to
be seen as random, morally inert phenomena—chance events
that lie beyond the control of human beings.
20. c. Disaster as intersection of society and nature- disaster are result of
human activities, not of natural or super natural forces. Disaster are
simply the collapse of cultural protections; thus they are principally
man made. Mankind responsible for the consequences of his actions as
well as of his omission.
d. Disaster as avoidable Human Creation- inequalities in risk (and
opportunity) are largely a function of the principal system of power
operating in all societies, which are normally analyzed in terms of class,
gender, and ethnicity.
23. Definition of term
Vulnerability
- is the human dimension of disasters and is the result of the range of economic,
social, cultural, institutional, political and psychological factors that shape people’s
lives and the environment that they live in.
24. Definition of term
DISASTERS
- is a serious disruption of the functioning of the community or a
society involving the 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.
26. Definition of term
Reduction
-aims to reduce the damage course by natural hazards, like
earthquake, floods, drought, and cyclone, through an ethic
of prevention.
28. Geographic Profile of the
Philippines
•The Philippines is vulnerable to almost all types of
natural hazards because of its geographical
location.
•The Philippine archipelago occupies he western rim
of the Pacific Ocean (Western Segment of the
Pacific Ring of Fire) and earthquake belt of active
volcanoes and earthquake generators.
29. •It lies along the Western Pacific Basin in between
of two tectonic plates that create mountain ranges,
islands and volcanoes.
•Our locality which is the Province of Guimaras is in
western part of Visayas. The San Lorenzo is the 5th
municipality. the other Municipality are Jordan,
Nueva Valencia, Buenavista, and Sibunag.
30. Lesson 3
Disasters Risk Profile of
the Philippines (focusing
on the specific
region/area where
school is located)
31. Disaster Risk Profile
According to the world risk index 2011. The Philippines places 3rd out of 173
countries rank according to their risk score or their exposure to hazards.
RA 10121- Disaster Risk Reduction Management
What is Disaster?
According to RA 10121, it is a serious disruption of the functioning of the
community or a society involving the 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.
Disaster result from the combination of: the exposure to hazard; the
condition of vulnerability that are present; and insufficient capacity or
measures to reduce or cope with the potential negative consequences.
32. The Philippine profiles
• Situated along the Eurasian and Pacific plates
• 300 volcanoes, 22 as active, 27 are potentially active with 3
volcanoes constantly monitored recently, (Mt. Mayon, Taal,
and Bulusan)
• Extensive fault line generates an average of 20 quakes per day,
mostly monitor ones.
• Located in the typhoon belt, the Philippines average of 18-22
typhoon a year almost half of which is destructive.
• Vulnerable rural areas where houses are light structured and
not available to withstand the effect of these weather
disturbances
33. •Its 289 km. Of coastline is exposed to possible
storm surges, tsunami, and sea level rise.
• Flooding is perennial problem due to:
a. Unplanned and unregulated development
ventures (housing and other industries e.g. fish ponds,
mining)
b. Informal settlers living in water ways and houses
on river banks;
c. Denuded forest due to illegal logging
34. d. Eroded soil
e. Poor waste management
f. Problematic protocols in the release of waters in
major dams
g. The impact of climate change is also causing
unpredictable behaviors of typhoons and its effects
h. The effects of El Niño and La Niña can cause
inundations, landslides and drought which affects food
security and energy
35. • The country’s vulnerability to natural hazards alone cost the
Philippine government an average of Php.15 Billion annually
in direct damages or more than .5% of countries GNP
• Aside from these direct impacts, disaster have also derailed
social and economic development since funds are
reallocated from on- going program of finance relief and
reconstruction assistance.
• The Philippines’ Risk profile for natural disaster is also
reflected in the 2009 Global Assessment Report prepared by
the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster
Reduction (UNISDR)
36. Vulnerability of climate change:
• Current climate change trends exhibited increasing
temperature. Mean temperature increased .57C and
average of .01 C per year- increase from 1971-2000
• With global warming, more intense typhoon are likely,
but changes in frequency are uncertain- PAGASA
• It is likely that hot temperature and heavy
precipitation will continue to become more frequent
in the future.
37. • Number of days with maximum temperature>35 degree
Celsius is expected to increase in all parts of the country in
2020 and 2050
• Extreme rainfall is expected to increase in Luzon and Visayas
in 2020 to 2050
Perceived impact of climate change:
• The Philippines rank 6th out of 16 countries extremely
vulnerable to climate change based on climate change
vulnerability index 2010
38. •The Philippines relies on its agricultural economy
for food security which make up 18% of GDP
•One out of five (or 15.73% million) Filipino has no
access to safe drinking water.
•Climate projections by 2020 and 2050 would impact
domestic water supply, irrigation, hydropower
generation, recharge of equifers, water quality,
water shades and fishery, and even flood control
operations
39. •Climate change is expected to further aggravate the
present condition of the Philippine eco system
•Human security is threatened
•Disaster risk are increasing, due to increasing
intensity and frequency of hydro- meteorological
hazard (brought about by climate change); and the
increasing value of exposed elements due to
development and demographic expansion.
41. The Four thematic areas of the
Philippines Disasters Management
System
•Disaster prevention and mitigation
•Disasters preparedness
•Disasters response
•Disasters rehabilitation and recovery
42. •Disaster Prevention and Mitigation- Avoid hazard
and mitigate their potential impacts by reducing
vulnerabilities and exposure and enhancing capacities
of communities.
•Disaster preparedness- establish and strengthen
capacities of communities to anticipate, cope and
recover from the negative impact of emergency
occurrences and disaster.
43. •Disaster Response - provides the preservation and meet the
basic substance needs of affected population base on acceptable
standards during or immediately after a disaster.
•Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery- restore and
improve facilities, livelihood and living conditions and organizational
capacities of affected communities and reduced disaster risk in
accordance with the building back better principle.
