HAZARD AND RISK
What's the difference?
HAZARDS
A dangerous phenomenon, substance,
human activity, or condition that may
cause loss of life, injury or other health
impacts, property damage, loss of
livelihoods and services, social and
economic disruption, or environmental
damage.
RISK
The combination of the probability of a
hazard occurring and the severity of its
effect or consequences.
VULNERABILITY
The characteristics and circumstances
of a community, system, or asset that
make it susceptible to the damaging
effects of a hazard.

CAPACITY
The combination of all the strengths,
attributes, and resources available
within a family, community, society, or
organization that can be used to
achieve agreed goals. In disaster risk
reduction, capacities are used to lessen
the adverse impacts of a disaster,
prepare for emergencies, and recover
from a disaster.

What is Rights- Based
Approach?
How can you relate it to disaster
management?
What is RBA’s relationship in
Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management?

If one is poor, one is vulnerable to

various factors including risks
which results to disasters.
When disaster strikes, the poor is the
most affected, and more rights are
violated. It is therefore important that
HRs are recognized, upheld, and
protected, and more especially during
disasters so that victims live a life
with dignity as against merely
surviving.

Title of the Report | Date of the Report

It is foremost the government’s
accountability to help
communities affected by
disasters.
CBDRM
COMMUNITY-BASED DISASTER RISK
MANAGEMENT

CBDRM is another approach and

framework that evolved from
experiences of local NGOs in helping
vulnerable communities in preparing for
hazards, responding to the needs during
disasters, and helping reduce the
negative impacts of disasters in their
communities.
What are the 4
thematic areas
of DRM?
PREPAREDNESS

• The knowledge and capacities developed

by governments, professional response and
recovery organizations, communities and
individuals to effectively anticipate, respond
to, and recover from, the impacts of likely,
imminent or current hazard events or
conditions.
PREVENTION AND
MITIGATION
Prevention is the outright avoidance of
adverse impacts of hazards and related
disasters

Mitigation is lessening or limiting the

adverse impacts of hazards and related
disasters.
RESPONSE
The provision of emergency services and
public assistance during or immediately
after a disaster in order to save lives,
reduce health impacts, ensure public
safety and meet the basic subsistence
needs of the people affected.
RECOVERY
Disaster Recovery involves a set of
policies, tools, and procedures to enable
the recovery or continuation of vital
technology infrastructure and systems
following a natural or human-induced
disaster.

 Section 2:

CHILD - CENTERED

12
 Training and involvement in hands-

on techniques builds children’s

CHILD- CENTERED knowledge and skills, enabling them

to assess and monitor hazards,

DRM risks, vulnerabilities and capacities

in their communities (Plan

International 2010)
POVERTY IS VULNERABILITY.
GENDER- RESPONSIVE

Men and women have

different roles, responsibilities,

limitations and capacities and

are therefore impacted upon

differently in the event of a

disaster.
CULTURE- SENSITIVE

Failing to address cultural

aspects could lead to

increase in the vulnerabilities

of community towards

disasters and the

development of unsuccessful

DRR strategies.
