Severe weather events like disasters can cause a lot of damage.

How bad it gets depends on how

vulnerable and exposed people are to these events. Changes in vulnerability and exposure play a
big role in how much impact these events have. Changes in vulnerability and exposure strongly
influence the risks associated with online activities.

Its important to understand the diffferent aspects of the natural climate system to prevent
disasters and come up with effective disaster risk management strategies.

EXPOSURE
when we talk about exposure, we're referring to the things that could be harmed during a
disaster, whether it's natural or human-made. To properly assess the risks and manage disasters
effectively, it's important to understand what might be at risk.

So, before discussing the elements that are expose to hazards let us know first what hazard is.
Anyone? A hazard is something that can cause harm, like a danger or a threat. It's a situation or
thing that has the potential to be unsafe or cause damage.

1. **HUMAN BEINGS:**
- People are exposed to hazards because they live and interact with the world. Hazards, like natural
disasters or accidents, can happen in places where people go or live, putting them at risk.

2. **DWELLINGS OR HOUSEHOLDS AND COMMUNITIES:**

- Our homes and communities are exposed to hazards because they exist in locations where things
like storms, earthquakes, or other dangers can occur. The places we choose to live may be prone to
specific risks.

3. **BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES:**

- Buildings and structures can be exposed to hazards because they are situated in areas where
potential dangers exist. Whether it's a house, an office, or a bridge, their location may make them
susceptible to specific risks.

4. **PUBLIC FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE ASSETS:**

- Public places and essential infrastructure, like schools or hospitals, are exposed to hazards because
they are open for everyone to use. Their accessibility makes them vulnerable to potential dangers
that can impact the community.

5. **PUBLIC AND TRANSPORT SYSTEM:**

- Transportation systems are exposed to hazards because they operate in various environments and
weather conditions. Buses, trains, and highways may face risks such as accidents or disruptions due to
natural disasters.

6. **AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES:**
- Agricultural products are exposed to hazards because they grow in specific regions that might face
risks like floods, droughts, or other natural disasters. These hazards can affect the production and
availability of food.

7. **ENVIRONMENTAL ASSETS:**
- Natural surroundings, like forests, rivers, and ecosystems, are exposed to hazards because they
exist in the same world where disasters can occur. Hazards can harm these environmental assets,
disrupting ecosystems and affecting the balance of nature.

Vulnerability is like how easily something can be harmed or affected by a danger. According to the
United Nations, it depends on many things like the physical, social, economic, and environmental
factors of a place or a thing. The more vulnerable something is, the more likely it is to get damaged
or face negative impacts when there's a hazard or threat. So kanang mga something nga dali ra ma
expose sa danger

Some examples could be badly built buildings so kanang mga building nga dinali-an ra ofcourse
expose jud kaayo na syas danger no risky kayna kayy linogun lang nag gamay wana bungkag na so
vulnerable kayna, not enough protection for things, people not knowing much about the risks so yeah
ofcourse kanang mga wala kabalo nga risky na kaayo diay na ila gibuhat pareha anang s akurente no
only the electrician ang mo kuan rajud ana kayy kungg ikaw maggpa mao2 ka diha nya live na ahw
kirig ka, officials not recognizing dangers enough, and not taking care of the environment wisely
ofcourse this is the most important because ato na environment ani ang apektado kung ato ni
abusohun diha na mo sud si hybrid, this is the most harmful because it is the combination of man-
made and natural disaster. Like mamutol og kahoy so mawnang magbaha and combination sa soil
errosion mawnana dapat jud nato mahibaw-an unsa nga mga butangg ang mka cause or expose sa
hazard.
