I. MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE (15 ITEMS) MOSTLY TERMS BUT JUST IN CASE!!

1. Disaster is a ‘serious’ disruption of the functioning of a community or society causing

widespread human, material, economic, and environmental losses that exceed the ability of
the affected community to cope using its own resources.

2. According to one of the theories regarding to the formation of the Philippines, our island and
mountains were the results of the collision of the Pacific Plate in the east and the Eurasian
Plate in the west.

 3. Typhoon Yolanda, the strongest typhoon in the world so far, devastated the provinces of
Leyte, Samar, Cebu, and other areas in Visayas.

4. The location of the Philippines in the Pacific makes it very vulnerable to meteorological
disturbances.

5. The Philippines can also be called “Exporter of typhoons”.

6. The 2014 World Risk Report cites in the Philippines as the second country that is most at
risk to the disasters that may be brought about by climate change, next to Vanuatu.

7. Typhoon Frank hit Iloilo in 2008 while Typhoon Sendong devastated Cagayan de Oro and
Iligan City in 2011.

8. The Philippines is also located in the western ring of Pacific Ocean where many active
faults, trenches, and volcanoes can trigger earthquakes.

9. The maps highlight the cities, municipalities, and barangays along the fault line in Metro
Manila, Rizal, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna that could be affected by the Big One.

10. The poor usually have lesser access to better homes, public facilities, and livelihood
opportunities, which makes them vulnerable to disasters

11. In 2009, Typhoon Ondoy affected people from all socio-economic groups in Metro Manila.

12. While disaster is mainly caused by naturals hazards and by physical effects, it is also a
social phenomenon because natural events “have social consequences only as a result of the
action of human beings and societies.

13. Harmful practices worsen vulnerability to disaster.

14. Deforestation, quarrying, mining operations and other practices that leas to environmental
degradation also contribute to #13’s problem.

15. Population growth and shortage of land have further pushed low-income families to worse
living conditions, which make them more vulnerable to disasters.

16. The aftermath of a disaster paves the way for disaster prevention efforts.

17. Disasters encourage people to collaborate in addressing the roots of disaster risks, engaging
in volunteerism, and builng the resilience of communities.

18. In the Philippiens, the most devastating earthquake was in 1976when a 7.9 magnitude
earthquake in Mindanao resulted tsunami that killed 3,564 people.

 19. Ground shaking is affected by how huge the earthquake is, what type of grounf the
earthquake wave stravel through, and how far it is from the earthquake source.

20. Ground Rupture can cause a building to collapse if it stands right above it.

21. Water-saturated, low lying areas and those with loose sand or silt deposits are prone to this
hazard.

22. During the 1990 earthquake in Central Luzon, sseveral buildings in Dagupan City collapse
because of liquefaction.

II. A IDENTIFICATION (22 ITEMS)

1. Disaster - is a ‘serious’ disruption of the functioning of a community or society causing

widespread human, material, economic, and environmental losses that exceed the ability of
the affected community to cope using its own resources.

2. Disaster risk - is the probability of harmful sequences

3. Disaster Risk Reduction - a provocative approach being adopted.

4. Vulnerability - a condition determined by physical, social, economic, and environmental

factors.

5. Hazards- are potentially damaging physical events, phenomena, or human activities that
may cause injury or loss of life.

6. Social Vulnerability - susceptability of the population

7. Economic vulnerability - assets and resources of the community that is susceptible to

disasters.

8. Physical and environmental vulnerability - refers to “human-made and natural

environment”

9. Human-made environment - buildings and infrastructures

10. Natural environment - agriculture, forestry and aquaculture

11. Capacity - the opposite of vulnerability

12. Natural Hazards - are beyond human control.

— DRRR 3
 13. Hazards induced by people - may be due to accidnets, carelessness or inability.

14. Hazards planned by people - result in massive loss of lives and pro[erties because of
personal or political interest.

15. Hazard analysis - it is the identification study, and monitoring of any hazard to determine
its potential, origin, characteristics, and behavior.

16. Earthquake - is a natural phenomenon that occurs in different parts of the world.

17. Fault line - are cracks on the earth’s surface that along the smaller plates move or slip
against each other.

18. Focus - the place where the energy is released like an explosion.

19. Epicenter - is the point above the focus.

20. Active fault - a fault that has moved within the last 10,000 years.

21. West Valley Fault - one of the most active faults that can trigger a strong earthquake.

22. Magnitude - is the measure of the total energy released at the earthquake’s point of origin
which is below the earth’s surface.

23. Ritcher Magnitude Scale - is used to measure the strength of an earthquake.

24. Intensity - is the perceived strength of an earthquake.

25. Ground shaking - is caused by the passage of seismic waves beneath the structure.

26. Ground rupture - is the displacement of the ground due to the violent shaking of the
surface.

27. Liquefaction - takes place when there is an increase in water pressure in saturated soils
because of ground shaking.

28. Ground subsidence - or the lowering of the land surface.
