LESSON 3: EFFECTS OF DISASTERS

EXPECTATIONS
This module will let you describe the effects of disaster in one’s life. Specifically,
you will be able to learn the following:
a. identify specific hazards that leads to disaster;
b. describe effects of disaster in one’s life based on types of hazards; and
c. relate risk factors that influence experiences toward disasters.
2
In the previous lesson, you learned that the nature of disaster comes in the
presence of vulnerability, exposure, and the coping capacity within a community or
one’s self. In this lesson, you will be able to understand the effects of disaster based on
the degree of risk factors present before hazard strikes. So, let us begin the lesson by
giving you the task of answering first the Pre-test.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION
In the past lesson, you were able to
differentiate the three risk factors that contribute to disasters.
In other words they are multipliers of the degree of what we
experience during a disaster. Could you remember or identify
the risk factors? Indeed, the kind and intensity of hazard, how
vulnerable the situation is, and the degree as to how expose
we are in the hazard defines the disaster that we are going to
experience.
Enduring disaster is definitely a situation that we do
not want to happen in our life. However, I believe that we had
https://thenounproject.com/term/natural-disasters/27832/
our own experience dealing with a disaster depending on the hazards that we sometimes face
in life. Have you ever thought that the intensity of disaster from one person to another varies?
We cannot just say, “I have been through with disaster and I succeeded coping with it so
other people could do it also”. We still need to understand that several factors could
specifically aggravate or mitigate the disaster experience of each individual. So, let us now
begin understanding the effects of disaster in one’s life.
ACTIVITY 1: HAZARD’S WRATH

Situation: Supposed there is a typhoon signal number three that will strike two types of house
as pictured below. Fill in the necessary data and answer the question that follows.

REMEMBER
• There are natural hazards but no natural disasters. Disaster is the impact of hazard’s result
to society. It is therefore said that the effects of disaster is the influenced of vulnerability
of community towards the nature of hazards (the coping capacity). The entire result of
vulnerability of a society is equated with its changing factors such as economic, social,
physical, cultural, political and psychological aspects where people lives and create their
environments. It is therefore emphasized that vulnerability of a society is not natural.
(Twigg, 2001)2
