damage, loss of livehoods and

disasters that can do severe
negative impacts in our
economy. It could occur
almost anywhere.
 INFLATION

POLITICAL
INSTABILITY

4. Invest in research and development
for economic risk management.
ENVIRONMENTAL

Environmental hazards are entities or
events in the environment that
negatively impact ecological systems.
 AIR
CONTAMINANTS

TOXIC WASTE
 HOW TO PREVENT
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD?
1. Follow strict environmental rules.
2. Use eco-friendly methods.
3. Use renewable energy.
4. Protect nature.
5. Teach about conservation.
6. Plan for disasters.
 ECONOMIC VULNERABILITY:
Lack of economic resources or
dependence on one source of
livelihood because of which a
community, or some part of it,
becomes liable to damages in case of
a disastrous event.
 ENVIRONMENTAL VULNERABILITY:
Environmental degradation,
deforestation or other environment
related factors which makes the
surrounding areas vulnerable to
losses by possible disasters.
 HAZARD
A hazard is a dangerous phenomenon,
substance, human activity or condition that
may cause loss of life, injury or other health
impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods
and services, social and economic disruption,
or environmental damage.
 VULNERABILITY
Vulnerability means the
characteristics and circumstances
of a community, system or asset
that make it susceptible to the
damaging effects of hazard
 EXPOSURE
By exposure we mean, proximity or
closeness of the people, property,
systems, or other elements to the
hazard zones that are thereby subject
to potential losses in case of any
disasters.
 What is the relationship of hazards,
exposure, and vulnerabilities To
disaster risk?
Disaster risk is therefore considered as
the combination of the severity and
frequency of a hazard, the numbers of
people and assets exposed to the hazard,
and their vulnerability to damage
