REVIEWER IN DRRR

 Seismic Hazard- the hazard that is associated with potential earthquakes in a particular area

 An active volcano is a volcano that has had at least one eruption during the past 10,000 years. An active
volcano might be erupting or dormant.
 An erupting volcano is an active volcano that is having an eruption.
 A dormant volcano is an active volcano that is not erupting, but supposed to erupt again.
 An extinct volcano has not had an eruption for at least 10,000 years and is not expected to erupt again in
a comparable time scale of the future.
Pyroclastic Flow contains a high-density mix of hot lava blocks, pumice, ash and volcanic gas
Lava Flows streams of molten rock that are poured or oozed from an erupting vent of a volcano
Colour - part of the map highlights different information to help interpret maps
SDC stands for Seismic Design Categories
Liquefaction is described as collapse of buildings caused by earthquake vibrating water-saturated fill or unconsolidated soil?
Hazard identification is the process of knowing all the agents in a certain workplace that can cause accidents or any type of harm
Psychological impact – Ex. Grief and psychological illness - Marital conflict - Depression due to loss of loved
ones and properties - Chronic anxiety

Risk assessment
1. Identify the hazards
2. Assess the Risk
3. Modify the procedures on risk assessment
4. Monitor the modifications if followed.
Indigenous people- the group that belongs to the most vulnerable
Exposure- term used to describe the elements at risk from a natural or man-made hazard event
Hazard is a harmful condition, substance, human behavior or condition that can cause loss of life, injury or
other health effects, harm to property, loss of livelihood and services, social and economic disruption or damage
to the environment.
Vulnerability means the characteristics and circumstances of a community, system, or asset, that make it
susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard and inability of a community to prevent, mitigate, prepare for
and respond to hazardous events.
Risk implies the probability of possible adverse effects.
- the degree to which a population, system, service or geographic area is likely to be affected or disrupted by the impact of a particular hazard
Disaster is a serious disruption to the functioning of a community or society which causes widespread human,
material, economic or environmental losses that exceed the capacity of the community or society concerned to
cope with the use of their own resources.
Filipinos are generally known as “matiisin”, resourceful, helpful, optimistic, and prayerful. These characteristics are manifested in the
country’s recent fight against COVID19. And an example of socio-cultural perspective.
The Most Stressed-Out” after a disaster according to Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) are ages 40-60.
Republic Act 10121 is:

 It is pro-active in giving importance to disaster mitigation and preparedness measures.

 One of the law’s salient points is the immediate release of calamity funds to local government units (LGUs) so they can prepare
for disaster mitigation and preparedness.
 This is a welcome provision because local government units can utilize 70 percent of the total calamity fund to risk-reduction
measures and 30 percent to quick response activities.
Disaster results from the massive damages to people and property triggered by a hazard brought on by a community’ s vulnerability.

Lava flows can trigger dangerous pyro clastic flows, is mostly characterized as quite effusion of lava and can bury, crush, cover, and burn everything
in their path.
If you experience any sign of tsunami while you are out to sea, contact the harbor authority to verify conditions are safe for navigation and berthing.
If a tsunami warning has been issued while you are at home, DO NOT wait for evacuation orders by the authority especially if you live near the
coast.
Go immediately to higher grounds.
The natural signs of an impending tsunami are a felt earthquake, a loud rumbling sound and drawback of ocean.
Rules for careful excavation:
- First, manually dig trial trenches close to the specified location of the cables or pipelines.
- Never dig in areas where cables or pipelines are known to be buried in the ground.
- When using an excavator always use a toothed excavator bucket.

It is important to quantify vulnerability to estimate how much mitigation and preparedness is applicable

To quantify the vulnerability of the people get the ratio of the number of casualties or injured to the total population.

The Different Perspectives of Disaster

- 1. Physical perspective- Calamities are phenomena that cause great physical damage in a community
infrastructure, its people and their properties
- 2. Psychological Perspective -Victims of disasters may suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and
other serious mental health conditions, which are not being given much attention to by the authorities or even
by the victims, themselves.
- 3. Socio-cultural Perspective-
- 4. Filipinos are generally known as “matiisin”, resourceful, helpful, optimistic, and prayerful.
- 5. Economic Perspective -Disasters affect the economic condition of a community because they reduce local and
international trade.
- 6. Political Perspective
- 7. Biological Perspective -The disturbing effects caused by a prevalent kind of disease or virus in an epidemic or
pandemic level is known as biological disaster.
