What’s In
Every year, there are millions of people who are affected by natural disasters, and
maybe you know how calamitous it is, am I right? From the destruction of buildings, the
spread of many diseases and even death. It can even devastate entire country overnight.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons and storm surge do not just wreak havoc on land; they
also disrupt people's lives, destroy ones’ properties and posse living in remote regions.

What is it
The following are some of the effects of disasters on one’s life.
A. Displacement
Population displacement is one of the most immediate effects of natural disasters.

When a certain country is ravaged by earthquakes and other powerful forces of nature,
many people have to leave/evacuate their homes and seek shelter in other place. A big
influx of refugees can disrupt everything from accessibility of health care and education to
food supplies and basic hygiene. Bigger evacuation centers are common for all natural
disasters, and only those who are fortunate enough will survive and face a range of
Challenges following disaster’s widespread.
B. Health Risks
The secondary effects can be just as damaging as the obvious danger that natural
disaster brings. Typhoons, storm surge and tsunamis often cause severe flooding that
becomes the cause in the spread of waterborne bacteria and malaria and as a result, health
complications will be prevalent among victims or survivors of natural disasters, who need the
help of emergency relief not only from national level but also from international aid
organizations, and even if the immediate danger has passed, death tolls may rise.
C. Food Scarcity
After natural disasters, scarcity of food follows. As a result of loss possessions,

destroyed crops and a loss of agricultural supplies, thousands of people around the world go
hungry. Hunger can be tremendous. The lives and health of the following potentially
vulnerable groups are at risk:
2
• young children, pregnant and nursing women, unaccompanied children, widows,
elderly people without family support, disabled persons;
• the poor or marginalized people;
• migrants or individuals who leave or flee their habitual residence to go to new places,
usually abroad to seek better and safer living;
• the displaced populations who leave their habitual residence in groups, usually due
to a sudden impact disaster, like an earthquake, volcanic eruption or a flood, threat
or community conflict, as a coping mechanism and with the intent to return; and 5.
the former migrants or displaced people returning to their homes (returnees).
Household and community structures, community facilities, livelihood and economic

activities, and the environment are also at risk in times of disaster.
Disaster risk depends on the choices made by individuals, households, communities and
governments. It might be increased or decreased depending on their preparedness level,
prevention and mitigation.
Generally speaking, when we look into the social status of certain individuals, family
responsibilities or reproductive role, women may be affected differently from men but they
are not necessarily vulnerable. They are also resourceful and resilient in times of crisis and
play a vital role in recovery.
D. Emotional Aftershocks
Natural disasters can be traumatic especially for young children. Many of them
develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a serious psychological condition resulting
from extreme trauma during a disaster. They are confronted with scene of destruction and
death of their love ones. If these children (with PTSD) are not treated, they will be prone to
lifetime psychological damage and emotional distress.
According to Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration

(SAMHSA), before and after a disaster or crisis, it is common for the children, adults, and first
responders to feel emotional distress. Natural and human-caused disasters can have a
devastating impact on people’s lives damage to property, or the loss of a home or place of
employment. Anyone who sees or experiences this can be affected in some way. Most stress
symptoms are temporary and will resolve on their own in a fairly short amount of time.
However, for some people, particularly children and teens, these symptoms may last for
weeks or even months and may influence their relationships with families and friends.
Common warning signs of emotional distress include:
For adults
• Eating or sleeping too much or too little
• Feeling guilty, helpless, or hopeless
• Avoiding family and friends
• Crying spells or bursts of anger
• Losing interest in daily activities
• Pulling away from people and things
• Having low or no energy
• Having unexplained aches and pains, such as constant stomachaches or headaches
• Feeling helpless or hopeless
• Excessive smoking, drinking, or using drugs, including prescription medications
• Worrying a lot of the time; feeling guilty but not sure why
• Thinking of hurting or killing yourself or someone else
3
• Having difficulty readjusting to home or work life
For children (6-11 years old)
• Withdrawing from playgroups and friends

• Competing more for the attention of parents and teachers
• Being unwilling to leave home
• Being less interested in schoolwork
• Becoming aggressive
• Having added conflict with peers or parents
• Having difficulty concentrating
• Become withdrawn
• Resist authority
• Become disruptive or aggressive at home or in the classroom
• Experiment with high-risk behaviors such as underage drinking or prescription drug
misuse and abuse
For teens
For teens, the impact of disasters varies depending on how much of a disruption the
disaster causes their family or community. Teens ages 12 to 18 are likely to have physical
complaints when under stress or be less interested in schoolwork, chores, or other
responsibilities.
Although some teens may compete vigorously for attention from parents and
teachers after a disaster, they also may:
• Become withdrawn
• Resist authority
• Become disruptive or aggressive at home or in the classroom
• Experiment with high-risk behaviors such as underage drinking or prescription drug
misuse and abuse
For those who have lived through a natural or human-caused disaster, the anniversary of
the event may renew feelings of fear, anxiety, and sadness. Certain sounds, such as sirens,
can also trigger emotional distress. These and other environmental sensations can take
people right back to the disaster, or cause them to fear that it’s about to trigger happen

What is it
Disaster can be avoided or lessened if the people are knowledgeable enough in

choosing their location or area of living. Choosing one’s reducing the risk of disaster and
looking security. The following are some of the areas or locations exposed to hazards that
may lead to disasters:
1. Flood Plains or Flood-Prone Areas
What happened when there is a heavy or continuous rainfall exceeding the

absorptive capacity of soil and the flow capacity of rivers, streams, and coastal areas? Yes,
flooding happens. Flooding causes a watercourse to overflow its banks onto lands adjacent
to it. In general, flood plains are lands most subject to recurring floods, located beside or
adjacent to rivers and streams. These are the lands that are inundated by water. Flood plain
is the large area of flat land on either side of a river that is sometimes covered with water
when the river becomes too full (From Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English @
http://www.ldoceonline.com/Geography-topic/flood-plain). These are the “flood-prone”area
and are very hazardous to development activities if the acceptable level of vulnerabilities
exceeds.
8
Owing to their continually changing nature, floodplains and other flood-prone areas
need to be examined in the light of how they might affect or be affected by development.
Below is an illustration of the characteristics of a floodplain. Familiarize it and try to

analyze if your house is located to a floodpr family to move to prevent you and your family
from the damaging effect and danger of flooding.
Below is the list of identified flood-prone/affected areas in Region X. Familiarize the

place and try to remember who among your friends and relatives are living in that area. Be
a life saver!

What is it
A landslide is also known as a landslip. It is a geological phenomenon that

includes a wide range of ground movements. Rock falls, deep failure of slopes and shallow
debris flows were common. Landslides can occur in offshore, coastal and onshore
environments. Although the action of gravity is the primary driving force for a landslide to
occur, there are other contributing factors affecting the original slope stability. Typically, pre-
conditional factors build up specific sub-surface conditions that make the area/slope prone to
failure, whereas the actual landslide often requires a trigger before being released.
Landslides occur when the stability of the slope changes from a stable to an unstable
condition. A change in the stability of a slope can be caused by a number of factors, acting
together or alone. Natural causes of landslides include:
o groundwater (pore water) pressure acting to destabilize the slope

o Loss or absence of vertical vegetative structure, soil nutrients, and soil structure (e.g.
after a wildfire - a fire in forests lasting for 3–4 days)
o erosion of the toe of a slope by rivers or ocean waves
o weakening of a slope through saturation by snow melt, glaciers melting, or heavy
rains
o earthquakes adding loads to barely stable slope
o earthquake-caused liquefaction destabilizing slopes
o volcanic eruptions
11
Landslides are aggravated by human activities, such as:
o deforestation, cultivation and construction, which destabilize the already fragile

slopes
o vibrations from machinery or traffic
o blasting
o earthwork which alters the shape of a slope, or which imposes new loads on an
existing slope
o in shallow soils, the removal of deep- rooted vegetation that binds colluviums to
bedrock
o Construction, agricultural or forestry activities (logging) which change the amount of
water which infiltrates the soil.)
Look at the figures in the next pages. These are some of the landslide-prone area in the
City of Golden Friendship. Have you gone these places?

3. Area with Armed Conflicts
The word “disaster” usually brings tsunamis to and mi many other kinds’ of disasters.
Accordingly, human consequences, rather than the phenomenon that causes it. The physical
and psychological destruction of living creatures is the main point of the word.
Accordingly, disaster is an actual or threatened accidental or uncomfortable events

that are concentrated in time, and space, in which society, or a relatively self-sufficient
subdivision of society undergoes severe danger, and injuries such losses to its members
and physical appurtenances that the social structure is disrupted and the fulfilment of all or
some of the essential functions.

Disaster due to terrorism always leaves messages to the societies causing social disruption.

4. Fault line Areas
In the previous years, you already knew that a fault, in geography, is a discontinuity
in a volume of rock, across which there has been significant displacement along the
fractures as a result of earth movement. The Philippine fault system runs from north to south
and east to west of the archipelago. Knowing about it, the most important question to answer
is whether or not you, your family and your properties are safe from earthquakes. It’s easier
for you to determine w eruptions or not but what about earthquakes? Are you aware of all
the locations of the fault lines in the Philippines?
In the Metro Manila, the biggest fault line system is the Marikina Valley Fault System
or commonly called the Valley Fault System. The Marikina Valley Fault System
Do you live in quake zone? Are you living in a safe area? Did your parents check
whether your house or planned house lies along or near an active fault line? Have you heard
about “The Big One”? What is this all?
This active fault line system has the potential of generating up to a 7.2-magnitude
earthquake that can devastate the capital and nearby provinces. PHILVOCS Director,
Renato Solidum Jr. said that a new survey discovered new fault traces aside from those
previously mapped and since there is no early warning when or where an earthquake
occurs, PHILVOCS has bn calling for public preparedness through earthquake drills and
contingency plans and checking the structural integrity of homes and buildings.
Now, with the use of the map

above and with the places cited, can you
locate the place where your relatives and
friends live in Luzon? Are they living near
this fault or near any active fault? If so, it is
time for you to inform them. Informing
them is capacitating them. If they have
that capacity or preparedness, then it is
pretty sure that the impacts of an
earthquake will be reduced. For you to
have a clear picture about the VFS, study
the figure below. Aside from the fault lines,
trenches are also shown.
14
In Mindanao, The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology is sending
scientists to North Cotabato to study and document previously unidentified fault line that
goes through the provinces of North Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat.
(http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/641090/phivolcs-to-send-experts-to-study-central-mindanao-
fault-line)
Renato Solidum, Phivolcs chief, said it was this new fault line that caused last
earthquakes in September 2014 — about 400 have since been recorded, some too feeble to
be felt— in Makilala and Kidapawan City in North Cotabato and Columbio in Sultan Kudarat.
Accordingly, there are 80 earthquakes with magnitudes of up to 5.2, struck the area and
caused damage, from September 20 to September 22 alone
(http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/692133/do-you-live-in-quake-zone-new-phivolcs-maps-trace-
100-km-west-valley-fault).
There are active faults also near Cagayan de Oro. With the recent Bohol Earthquake
of magnitude 7.2 last October 15, 2013, people in Cagayan de Oro and Misamis Oriental are
starting to be aware again about earthquake hazards. The said Bohol earthquake was felt in
Cagayan de Oro City (Intensity V).
Below is a MAP OF ACTIVE FAULTS AND TRENCHES IN MINDANAO. You could

see the EAST BOHOL FAULT in the map (which triggered the recent earthquake) just
across the seas fronting the province of Misamis Oriental. In the map, the fault nearest to
Cagayan de Oro is CABANGLASAN FAULT on the eastern part of the province

Lesson
3 Disaster from different perspective
This module is all about analyzing the different perspective of disasters.

Preparedness is one of the main aspect that comes to our mind when we talk about disaster,
after studying and working on all activities in this module it hopes to capacitate individual
from the great impacts of disaster.
What I need to know
• Analyze disaster from the different perspectives (physical, psychological,

socio-cultural, economics, political, and biological).
What I know

A. a storm surge.


5. A sudden event, such as an accident or natural catastrophe that causes great damage
or loss of life is called _________.
1
What’s In
When we talk about disasters, immediately, preparedness comes to our mind

followed by our vulnerability. That is the reason why we have to capacitate ourselves so that
we will be freed from the great impacts of disasters. Disasters can be analyzed in different
perspective: physical, psychological, socio-cultural, economic, political and biological.

5. _____________ N I O T A T L I I B A H E R
What is it
When a disaster like an earthquake strikes, many structures are destroyed and
properties as well. The wide-ranging physical impacts also cause social and psychological
disruption at community. Survivors are traumatized, become psychologically-ill and others
may even have suicidal tendencies. They need guidance and immediate care. Others
become so sensitive and irritated that they will burst to anger even just in a small thing.
Biological system is also affected during disasters. Not only the place or area
affected to but for the area where rehabilitation site is built. There would be cutting of trees
and transforming the green environment into subdivisions with low-cost housing. See how
destructive a disaster is. It affects every live in. This is our only planet. We have to show
our love and concern to it. The question is... as a student, what will you do to help take care
of our planet earth? What will you do to help protect your family and friends from danger?
Act now. Be an instrument of CHANGE! Be Proactive! Be prepared!

SUMMARY
A disaster is a sudden, calamitous event that seriously disrupts the functioning of
community or society and causes human, material, and economic or environmental
losses that exceed the com its own resources.
Disaster is different from hazard. A hazard may or may not result to a disaster. Suppose
there is a very strong typhoon. When it hits a particular area and leave no damages,
then there is no disaster happened but if it leaves great damages to lives and
properties, then that is what we call
The following are some of the communicable diseases associated with natural disasters:
Diarrhea
Hepatitis A and E
Leptospirosis
Crowding
Disaster greatly affects ones’ lives. Thus, counteracted. To do this, it requires the reduction
of the impact of the hazard through mitigation, prediction, warning and preparedness.
Building capacities of the community is very important also to withstand and cope with
hazards.
The root causes of vulnerability such as poverty, poor governance,

discrimination, inequality and inadequate access to resources and livelihoods should be
solved.
These are the four (4) pillars to counteract community’s Prevention / mitigation,
Preparedness, Response and Recovery.
The following are some of the effects of disasters on one’s
Displacement
Health Risks
Food Scarcity
Emotional Aftershocks
A landslide is also known as a landslip. It is a geological phenomenon that includes a wide

range of ground movements. Rock falls, deep failure of slopes and shallow debris flows
were common. Landslides can occur in offshore, coastal and onshore environments.
