In this illustration, give ways on how to reduce disaster risk?

Risk is the likelihood or probability that a person may be damaged or experience an

unfavorable health consequence if exposed to a threat. It may also apply in cases of
property or equipment loss, as well as harmful environmental consequences. As
you can see the illustration above, there are risk found in the surroundings.

Here are the following ways on how to reduce disaster risk:

 Call the professionals and ask for help

 Reinforce the slope with rock bolts, steel pins, tiebacks, or shotcrete to keep
rocks in place. The use of buttresses and cable lashing are further
strengthening techniques.
 Mesh cable nets, which can be slope protection, anchored mesh, or
suspended systems, trap and retain pebbles, preventing them from
damaging the land below.
 Removing potentially hazardous material via scaling, blast scalability, or trim
booming, as well as re-sloping the zone to alter its form

Choose only four Natural Hazards to answer:

FORMULATE PLAN OR ACTIONS WHAT TO DO BEFORE,

NATURAL HAZARDS
DURING AND AFTER IN A NATURAL HAZARD
BEFORE: Avoid mounting heavy objects like bookshelves and picture
frames on walls where they could fall onto beds or areas where your
family will be seated. Use closed hooks to hang goods, and earthquake
putty to secure corners. To prevent stuff from spilling out during an
earthquake, latch cabinet doors.

DURING: Drop, cover, and hold! Lay down, hide beneath a large table,
and hold on until the shaking stops. Set yourself up such that your head
and neck are protected if your entire body will not fit beneath the
furniture. When possible, stay inside; most accidents happen when
those inside attempt to move to a different location or leave. Steer clear
of things that might fall, windows, outside walls, stairwells, elevators,
and more. Be mindful that if the power goes out, the fire alarm or
1. Earthquake sprinkler system may start to sound. Find a roomy area if you're
outside. Avoid being too close to any structures, electricity wires,
lighting, or other objects that might fall on you.

AFTER: Look out for the injuries of others and provide help if necessary.
Look for and extinguish any little fires. Clean up any flammable liquid
spills right away. Watch out for anything that could have moved in
closets or cabinets and endanger or cause more injury when the doors
are opened. If you are caught under debris, do not light a match or
attempt to escape. To help rescuers discover you, cover your lips with
your clothing and tap on a wall or a pipe. Shouting shouldn't be utilized
unless it's absolutely necessary since it might result in you inhaling
dangerously high levels of dust.

2. Fire BEFORE: Create an escape plan for each room of the house, with a
special emphasis on fleeing from the bedrooms. In the event that one
escape route is blocked by fire, each room should have two other exits.
You must practice frequently. Pick a meeting location that is secure and
not at home. Make sure that everyone is aware of where it is. Recognize
fundamental fire safety rules, such as touching a door before opening it
to determine its security. If it's hot, find another exit. Keep in mind to
stop, drop, and roll if your clothing catches fire.

DURING: Your only concern is getting out quickly and safely. No matter
 how priceless the object may be, do not try to "save" it. Go to a
neighbor's home and ask them to do the same, or dial the fire
department. Never use an elevator in a fire. wherever feasible, use the
stairs. Keeping a low profile. Cover your mouth and nose with a
handkerchief or your shirt to prevent inhaling in smoke or dangerous
fumes. If a door feels warm to the touch or if smoke can be seen
entering the room from the floor or the door frame, do not open it.
Meet away from the flames in a safe area.

AFTER: Make sure that anyone hurt, whether from burns, smoke
inhalation, or injuries received while running, is treated by a medical
professional. Until the fire department gives the all-clear, do not enter
the building again. Make sure the home has not sustained any structural
damage from minor fires that might cause it to collapse. For help finding
temporary housing if fire damage prevents you from staying in your
home, get in touch with your local government office.

3. Tsunami BEFORE: Ask your local government about tsunami risk and regional
warning systems if you live close to the coast. Decide with your support
network to get alerts for any warnings or emergencies if you have a
disability or special requirements. Create a get-away kit and a
household emergency plan. Be aware of the location and directions to
the closest high ground. Plan to get as far inland or high up as you can.
Not just for times when you are at home, but also for times when you
are working or taking a trip near the ocean, plan your escape route.

DURING: Bring any necessary escape equipment. Do not venture into

hazardous areas to gather your tools or belongings. Bring your animals
along, if you can do so safely. Get as far inland or to higher ground as
you can as quickly as you can. Take the routes suggested on evacuation
maps if they are accessible. Drive only if absolutely required; otherwise,
consider biking or walking. To allow others room behind you, if you're
driving, keep going until you're far beyond the evacuation zone. If you
are unable to escape the tsunami, travel to the top floor of a large
building, climb a tree or the roof, or grab a floating object and hang to it
until help arrives.

AFTER: Keep listening to the radio for civil defense advice and refrain
from entering the evacuation areas until the authorities have given the
all-clear. It may not be safe for up to 24 hours or more, and there may
be more than one wave. The waves that come after the first one might
be bigger as well. Check yourself for injuries and get assistance if
required. Help others if you can. When entering homes or other
structures after floods, exercise additional caution. Find any damaged
utility wires and let the appropriate authorities know about them. If
your property is damaged, record the damage and take pictures for
 insurance purposes. If you rent your home, notify your landlord as
quickly as possible, as well as your contents insurance company.

BEFORE: Prepare a disaster supply kit and a family communication plan.

Avoid constructing on a floodplain unless you elevate and strengthen
your house. Elevate your home's furnace, water heater, and electrical
panel if you live in a flood-prone area. To stop floodwater from backing
up into your home's drains, install "check valves." Create barriers to
keep floodwater from entering the structure, and seal basement walls
using waterproofing materials.

DURING: In just a few seconds, flash floods can happen. As soon as they
start, get to higher ground, stay safe, and ensure that the elderly and
children are kept safe. If there is time, switch off all gas, heating, and
similar devices as well as any electrical ones. Before it's too late, leave
the area. You risk being carried away if you drive across moving water.
Avoid touching any damaged power transmission cables or electrical
wires. Avoid floodwater as it might contain chemicals or other
dangerous substances.
4. Flood
AFTER: Unless specifically instructed to do so by law enforcement,
firefighters, or humanitarian agencies, avoid damaged areas. Emergency
workers will aid those in flooded areas. To help them, stay off the roads
and out of their way. Take safety measures. There might be further
flooding or flash floods. Pay attention to local announcements and
information. If your car stops in water that is rising swiftly, get out and
go to higher ground as soon as you can. Only go back home when the
authorities indicate it is okay to do so. Until the house has been
thoroughly cleaned and an electrician has deemed it safe to do so, turn
off all electricity and electrical appliances. As much as possible, make
sure you have images or a documentation of all the damage. Clean the
entire home, together with all the objects in it very well before you use
them again. They may be contaminated. Wear appropriate gear (mask
and gloves) before cleaning begins.
