A

Recovery

A potentially damaging, **dangerous phenomenon**, substance, human activity or condition that **MAY** cause loss of life, injury, damage induced by natural or human causes

Hazard

**Degree** to which element at risk are likely to experience hazard events of different magnitude

Exposure

**Characteristics** and circumstances increasing susceptibility to damaging effects of hazard arising from physical, socioeconomic, and environmental factors

Vulnerability

What is the disaster equation?

(V+H) / C

Combination of **ALL STRENGTHS & RESOURCES** that can reduce level of risk or effects of a disaster

Capacity

When does a disaster occurs?

When hazard meet vulnerability

According to him, disaster is a crisis situation that exceeds the capabilities

Duarentelli, 1985

The Phiippines is ranked as what number among 200 countries most-disaster prone

12th

Average number of typhoons in the Philippines yearly

20 typhoons

Philippines is located in between what two tectonic plates?

Eurasian & Pacific ## Footnote *These are volcanic and earthquake generators*

Average destructive typhoons in the Philippines yearly

7

How many active and most active volcanoes does Philippines have?

22 active, 5 most active

Disaster risks of the Philippines (4) according to 2009 Mortality Risk Index of the UN INternational Strategy for Disaster Reduction

- Tropical Cyclones - Floods - Earthquakes - Landslides

# *The following are critical concerns* - Existing disaster response team / safety committee - Emergency / disaster drills - Emergency response plan - Preparedness / contingency plan - Trained personnel / employees - Rescue equipments and emergency paraphernalia - Institutionalized warning system - Identified evacuation areas

A disaster legislation back in 1978, focusing heavily on preparedness and response expecting **paradigm shift** emphasizing disaster management to a **disaster risk management approach**, with much greater importance given to reducing risk

RA 10121 (Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010)

RA 10121 is approved on?

May 27, 2010

It is a **systematic process** of using administrative decisions, organization, operational skills and capacities to implement policies, strategies, and coping abilities of the society and communities

RA 10121

These must be done to reduce risk

- Institutionalize local DRRM office - Establish early warning system - Formulation of communication protocol and evacuatio procedures at the community level and establishments - Organize local DRRMC and define the functional roles and responsibilities of members and task units - Establish SOPs (standard operating procedures) - Hazard awareness through community-based trainings and seminars - Integrate disaster risk reduction into the **CLUP** (comprehensive land use plan) and land use planning - Integrate **hazard, risk, and vulnerability assessment** into the development plan

These must be done to reduce risk

- **Cluster approach** on recovery program - Good working relationship with warning agencies and the local media - Installation of **rain guages** on mountain slopes - Strengthening of the LGU capabilities on disaster management - Updating hazard profile of all municipalities and to analyze data on human induced disasters for public safety studies - Effective flow of communication system to ensure accurate flow of information before, during, and after disaster

DENR-MGB CAR recommended how many mm of rainfall observed within 24 hours for evacuation?

150mm
