Lesson 1: Introduction to Different Types of Disasters

● Hazard- 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.
● Disaster- A serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society
involving widespread human, material, economic, or environmental losses and
impacts which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using
its own resources.
“Disasters are often described as a result of the combination of:
I. The exposure to a hazard;
II. The conditions of vulnerability that are present, and;
III. Insufficient capacity or measures to reduce or cope with the potential negative
consequences.”

Different Kinds of Hazards:


A. Ground shaking
B. Tornado
C. Landslide (cause: deforestation)
D. Flood
E. Indoor fire
F. Lava flow
G. Industrial pollution
H. Typhoon
I. Forest fire (fuel-oxygen-)
J. Liquefaction
K. Storm surge
L. Tsunami
M. Extreme rainfall (extreme heat)

NATURAL HAZARDS- Naturally occurring physical phenomena caused either by rapid or


slow onset events.

Types of Natural hazards:


1. BIOLOGICAL HAZARD- Process or phenomenon of organic origin or conveyed by
biological vectors/agents, including exposure to pathogenic microorganisms, toxins and
bioactive substances. Ex. Ebola Virus, flu virus, rabies.
2. GEOLOGICAL HAZARD- Geological process or phenomenon. Ex: Ballistic projectiles,
earthquake, volcanic eruption, etc.
3. HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL HAZARD- Process or phenomenon of atmospheric,
hydrological or oceanographic nature. Ex. tsunami

MAN-MADE AND TECHNOLOGICAL HAZARDS- A hazard originating from technological


or industrial conditions, including accidents, dangerous procedures, infrastructure failures, or
specific human activities. Ex: forest fire, oil spill, accidents, etc.

Lesson 2: Potential Earthquake Hazards and its Effects

Earthquake - is a feeble shaking to violent trembling of the ground produced by the sudden
displacement of rocks or rock materials below the earth’s surface.
3 MAIN FACTORS CONTROL INTENSITY
A. Magnitude- How BIG was it?
B. Distance from Hypocenter- how FAR AWAY was it?
C. Bedrock and Soil- How SOLID is the ground?

Two types of earthquakes:


1. Tectonic earthquakes- those generated by the sudden displacement along faults in the
solid and rigid layer of the earth.

Three types of CONVERGENT BOUNDARIES


1. Continent‐continent convergence
2. Ocean‐continent convergence
3. Ocean‐ocean convergence
2. Volcanic earthquakes - induced by rising lava or magma beneath active volcanoes.

Fault- refers to a fracture, fissure, or a zone of weakness where movement or displacement


has occurred or may occur again.

TWO TYPES OF FAULT:


1. Active fault- if it has historical and contemporary seismicity, has evidence of fault slip
based on displaced rocks or soil units of known age and displaced landforms, and has
moved within the last 10,000 years.
2. Inactive fault- there is no movement observed or evidence of seismic activity during the
last 10,000 years.

Most common earthquake-related hazards:


I. Ground shaking- disruptive up-down and sideways movement or motion experienced
during
II. Ground rupture-displacement on the ground due to movement of fault. This will be
experienced by areas where fault passes through.
III. Tsunami- This is a series of giant sea waves commonly generated by under-the-sea
earthquakes and whose heights could be greater than 5 meters.
IV. Liquefaction- is a process that transforms the behavior of a body of sediments from that
of a solid to that of a liquid when subjected to extremely intense shaking.
V. Earthquake-induced landslide- failures in steep or hilly slopes triggered by an earthquake.

What to expect during an earthquake


Small or moderate earthquakes
•These can last only a few seconds and represent no emergency risk.
•Ceiling lights may move and some minor rattling of objects may occur in your home.
•You may feel a slight quiver under your feet if you are outside.
•If you are close to its source, you may hear a loud bang followed by shaking.
Large earthquakes
•These can last up to several minutes and constitute a natural disaster if its epicenter is near
a densely populated area, or its magnitude sufficiently large for the region.
•The ground or floor will move, perhaps violently.
•Whether far away or close to the source, you will probably feel shaking followed by a rolling
motion, much like being at sea.
•If you are far away from the source, you might see swaying buildings or hear a roaring
sound.
•You may feel dizzy and be unable to walk during the earthquake.
•If you live in a high rise or a multi-storey building, you may experience more sway and less
shaking than in a smaller, single-storey building. Lower floors will shake rapidly, much like
residential homes. On upper floors, movement will be slower but the building will move
farther from side to side.
•Furnishings and unsecured objects could fall over or slide across the floor or be thrown with
damaging force across the room.
•Unsecured light fixtures and ceiling panels may fall.
•Windows may break.
•Fire alarms and sprinkler systems may be activated.
•Lights and power may go off.
What Should I Do?
During an earthquake you should:
•If you are indoors: “DROP, COVER AND HOLD ON”
•Stay inside.
•If you are in a shopping mall, go into the nearest store. Stay away from windows, and
shelves with heavy objects.
•If you are at school, get under a desk or table and hold on. Face away from windows.
•If you are in a wheelchair, lock the wheels and protect the back of your head and neck.
•If you are outdoors
•Stay outside.
•Go to an open area away from buildings. The most dangerous place is near exterior walls.
•If you are in a crowded public place, take cover where you won't be trampled.
•If you are in a vehicle
•Pull over to a safe place where you are not blocking the road. Keep roads clear for rescue
and emergency vehicles.
•Avoid bridges, overpasses, underpasses, buildings or anything that could collapse.
•Stop the car and stay inside.
•Listen to your car radio for instructions from emergency officials.
•Do not attempt to get out of your car if downed power lines are across it. Wait to be
rescued.
•Place a HELP sign in your window if you need assistance.
•If you are on a bus, stay in your seat until the bus stops. Take cover in a protected place. If
you can't take cover, sit in a crouched position and protect your head from falling debris.
After an Earthquake
•Stay calm. Help others if you are able.
•Be prepared for aftershocks.
•Listen to the radio or television for information from authorities. Follow their instructions.
•Place corded telephone receivers back in their cradles; only make calls if requiring
emergency services.
•Put on sturdy shoes and protective clothing to help prevent injury from debris, especially
broken glass.
•Check your home for structural damage and other hazards. If you suspect your home is
unsafe, do not re-enter.
•Unplug appliances and broken lights to prevent fire starts when the power is restored.
•Stay away from brick walls and chimneys as they may be damaged or weakened and could
collapse during aftershocks.
•If you have to leave your home, take your emergency kit and other essential items with
you. Post a message in clear view, indicating where you can be found. Do not waste food or
water as supplies may be interrupted.
•Do not light matches or turn on light switches until you are sure there are no gas leaks or
flammable liquids spilled. Use a flashlight to check utilities and do not shut them off unless
damaged. Leaking gas will smell like rotten eggs.
•If your home is equipped with natural gas: Call your gas provider immediately to report any
concerns or if you smell gas (rotten egg smell). Shut off gas valve if you know how. Once the
gas is turned off, don't turn it back on. Only a licensed gas technician can turn the gas on
safely.
•If tap water is still available immediately after the earthquake, fill a bathtub and other
containers in case the supply gets cut off.
•Use extreme caution with hazardous materials or spills. When in doubt, leave your home.
•Check on your neighbors after looking after members of your own household. Organize
rescue measures if people are trapped or call for emergency assistance if you cannot safely
help them.
•If you have pets, try to find and comfort them. If you have to evacuate, take them to a pre-
identified pet-friendly shelter.
•Place a HELP sign in your window if you need assistance.
After an earthquake you should:
•Evacuate if you are in a tsunami hazard zone. Walk inland or to higher ground as soon as it
is safe to do so. Do not wait for official notification. Stay away from the coast until officials
permit you to return.
•Check for injuries. Do not move seriously-injured persons unless they are in immediate
danger.
•Check for hazards such as fires, gas leaks, downed utility lines and fallen objects.
•Clean up any potentially harmful materials spills.
•Expect aftershocks. Aftershocks following large earthquakes can be large and damaging.
Step 2: Make a plan
Step 3: Get an emergency kit
Basic emergency kit
•Water (1-2 gallons)
•Food
•Manual can opener
•Wind-up or battery-powered flashlight (and extra batteries)
•Wind-up or battery-powered radio (and extra batteries)
•First aid kit
•Special items such as prescription medications, infant formula and equipment for people
with disabilities
•Extra keys to your car and house
•Cash in smaller bills
•A copy of your emergency plan and contact information

Topic: Tsunami Signs


Several terms are used to describe the different characteristics of tsunami in
terms of their height:
A.Amplitude, Wave Height, or Tsunami Height: refers to its height relative to the
normal sea level. It is usually measured at sea level, and it is different from the crest-
to-trough height which is commonly used to measure other types of wave height.
B.Run-up Height, or Inundation Height: The height reached by a tsunami on the
ground above sea level, Maximum run-up height refers to the maximum height
reached by water above sea level, which is sometimes reported as the maximum
height reached by a tsunami.
C.Flow Depth: Refers to the height of tsunami above ground, regardless of the
height of the location or sea level.
D.(Maximum) Water Level: Maximum height above sea level as seen from trace or
water mark. Different from maximum run-up height in the sense that they are not
necessarily water marks at inundation line/limit.
What causes a tsunami?

1. Earthquakes
Most tsunamis are caused by large earthquakes on the sea floor when slabs of rock
move past each other suddenly, causing the overlying water to move.
2. Landslides
•Landslides can happen on the seafloor, just like on land. Areas of the seafloor that
are steep and loaded with sediment, such as the edge of the continental slope, are
more prone to undersea landslides.
•When an undersea landslide occurs (perhaps after a nearby earthquake) a large
mass of sand, mud and gravel can move down the slope. This movement will draw
the water down and may cause a tsunami that will travel across the ocean.
3. Volcanic eruptions
Tsunami initiated by volcanic eruptions are less common. They occur in several
ways:
A.destructive collapse of coastal, island and underwater volcanoes which result in
massive landslides
B.pyroclastic flows, which are dense mixtures of hot blocks, pumice, ash and gas,
plunging down volcanic slopes into the ocean and pushing water outwards
C.a caldera volcano collapsing after an eruption causing overlying water to drop
suddenly.
Tsunami Warnings:
The following are the natural signs of an impending tsunami:
I. Feel an earthquake. If the ground shakes under your feet in a coastal region, a
tsunami may have been caused by a strong undersea earthquake. However, you
may not feel an earthquake if the event is far away.
II. See ocean water disappear from the beach, bay or river Before a tsunami
arrives, water may recede from the shoreline before returning as a fast-moving wall
of water. If you notice the water is disappearing, tell your family and friends and
prepare to move inland or to higher ground.
III. Hear an unusual roaring sound. If you hear a loud roar approaching (a bit like a
passenger jet or a train), tell your family and friends. It could be a tsunami
approaching.

IF YOU ARE UNDER A TSUNAMI WARNING:


•First, protect yourself from an Earthquake. Drop, Cover, then Hold On.
•Get to high ground as far inland as possible.
•Be alert to signs of a tsunami
•Listen to emergency information and alerts.
•Evacuate: DO NOT wait! Leave as soon as you see any natural signs of a tsunami
or receive an official tsunami warning.
Make plans to shelter with friends and family, if possible.
•If you must evacuate to a public shelter, try to bring items that can help protect
yourself and your family from COVID-19, such as hand sanitizer that contains at
least 60 percent alcohol, cleaning materials, and two masks per person. Children
under 2 years old, people who have trouble breathing, and people who cannot
remove masks on their own should not wear them. Review the CDC’s guidelines for
“Going to a Public Disaster Shelter During the COVID-19 Pandemic.”
•Maintain a distance of at least six feet between yourself and those who are not part
of your household.
•If you are in a boat, go out to sea.
Prepare NOW:
•If you live near, or regularly visit a coastal area, learn about the risk of tsunami in
the area. Some at-risk communities have maps with evacuation zones and routes. If
you are a visitor, ask about community plans.
•Learn the signs of a potential tsunami, such as an earthquake, a loud roar from the
ocean, or unusual ocean behavior, such as a sudden rise or wall of water or sudden
draining of water showing the ocean floor.
•Know and practice community evacuation plans and map out your routes from
home, work, and play. Pick shelters 100 feet or more above sea level, or at least one
mile inland.
•Create a family emergency communication plan that has an out-of-state contact.
Plan where to meet if you get separated.
•Sign up for your community’s warning system. The Emergency Alert System (EAS)
and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio also
provide emergency alerts. Sign up for email updates about COVID-19 from the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
•Consider earthquake insurance and a flood insurance policy through the National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
•Stay away from damaged buildings, roads, and bridges.
•Document property damage with photographs. Conduct an inventory and contact
your insurance company for assistance.
•Save phone calls for emergencies. Phone systems are often down or busy after a
disaster. Use text messages or social media to communicate with family and friends.
•Engage virtually with your community through video and phone calls. Know that it’s
normal to feel anxious or stressed. Take care of your body and talk to someone if
you are feeling upset. Many people may already feel fear and anxiety about the
coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19).
