Disaster and Resilience
CONDINO, RALPH MICHAEL BSED MATH 1-B

ACTIVITY: RISK AND RESILIENCE

This activity aims to check your familiarity with the concepts used in analyzing
risks and resilience; and understand the similarities and differences among
these
perspectives.

Instructions:
1. Search for your city/province/municipality’s profile. It should be accessible
in their official government web page (or at the Department of Interior and
Local Government website);
2. Analyze the profile of your city/province/municipality from (a) a Disaster
Risk Reduction perspective, identifying hazards and vulnerabilities, and
from (b) a resilience perspective, identifying stresses and shocks; and
3. Share your reflections in analyzing your city/province/municipality's risk
and resilience using the template below.

Floods Floods can destroy people houses and

it can destroy farms specially we have
a lot of rice fields here in out town.

It can potentially destroy the houses It can decrease the reproduction of

of the people and it can cause a lot of rice and other foods like fruits and
damage in farms. vegetables.
SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS:

In not more than 250 words, share your new learning and overall reflections
in this module. Specifically, on the importance of strengthening the locality’s
immunity from potential shocks and managing the effects of stresses to local
and national development.

This module is all about understanding the disasters and

how can we survive from it. Through a preventative ethic, Disaster Risk
Reduction (DRR) tries to limit the damage caused by natural hazards such as
earthquakes, floods, droughts, and cyclones. Often, natural disasters follow
natural disasters. The role of DRR in our community is very important
because they are helping to lower the damage that can a hazard can cause. It
is also important to have the resilience in our community. Having resilience
can help us to be prepared for upcoming disasters in the future like typhoons,
floods, earthquake, etc. It is important that we are adapting and we are
learning from our previous experiences on natural disasters. It is important to
strengthen our immunity from potential shocks from disasters so that we can
avoid unnecessary accidents in our community. It is important that we are
always ready. In this module I learned that being prepared always for
disasters is very important. It is important to know your location and what are
the possible hazards that you will experience in the future and the importance
of the people that are responsible for making us safe like the job of DRR. As a
normal citizen we must know what to do in the amidst of disasters if it will
happen. Natural disasters are very dangerous and it can take our love ones
from us if we are not knowledgeable enough. Always be ready and always
stay safe. We we we we are the the the
