Day 1
Concept of Disaster
You probably have become used to hearing news about typhoons, earthquakes, or volcanic
eruptions happening every now and then. Many of us might have also experienced disasters due to
one or more of these natural events that they are no longer considered news. Why is the
Philippines one of the world’s most disaster- prone countries? Surely, it is not simply because
natural events visit us so often. The occurrence of a disaster depends on the interplay between a
natural phenomenon (that can turn into a hazard) and the vulnerability of populations exposed
(exposure and vulnerability).
Day 2
Disaster Risk
Recognizing that no two persons are alike helps us relate to different kinds of people.
In the same manner, no two disasters are alike. Some are definitely similar, but
appreciating their differences in terms of their nature and magnitude of triggering
hazards, exposed elements at risk, and vulnerabilities will help us deal with potential
disasters. The risks associated with disasters can be estimated and expressed either
quantitatively or in relative terms. This provides a way of comparing past and future
disasters.
