TRUE
Giive the 6 effects of Disaster.
Medical effects
Damage to critical Facilities
Disruption of transportation.
Economic impact
Global environmental change
Social and political Impact
Environmental aspects of exposure and vulnerability encompass those beyond. the physical dimension, also included are potentially winerability, natural systems. such as low-lying areas, coastal regions and mountainous areas.sometime the combination of human settlement patterns and environment makes. population more vulnerable to hazard events.
Environmental
a rating used to calculate a systems vulnerability. It is based on whether a perpetrator needs physical access to system in order to exploit the system’s vulnerability.
Physical Exposure
the sudden occurrence of a violent discharge of stem and volcanic mate- rials.
Volcanic Eruption
large mass of rocks and earth that suddenly and quickly moves down the slide of a mountain or hill.
Landslide
is the shaking of the surface of the earth. They are caused by sudden movements of the carth’s tectonic plates-it can be extremely violent or so slight that they only register on instruments.
Earthquake
also known as (typhoons and hurricanes) are a rapidly rotating storm system characterized by a low-pressure center, aclosed low-level atmospheric. circulation, strong winds, and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain.
Tropical Cyclone
the groups of people who are more vulnerable to disasters
women, children, old
category that is NOT part of man-made hazard
Technological/Industrial
