Article II- Definition of Terms

(a.) Disaster- a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society involving widespread human ,
material , economic or environmental losses and impacts, which exceeds the ability of the affected community or
society to cope using its own resources. Disasters are often described as a result of the combination of: the exposure
to a hazard; the condition of vulnerability that are present; and insufficient capacity or measures to reduce or cope
with the potential negative consequences. Disaster impacts may include loss of life, injury, disease and other
negative effects on human, physical, mental and social well being, together with damage to property, destruction of
assets, loss of services , social and economic disruption and environmental degradation.

(b). Disaster Mitigation- the lessening or limitation of the adverse impacts of hazards and related disaster. Mitigation
measures include but not limited to the engineering techniques and hazard- resistant construction but includes as
well as improved environmental policies and programs and public awareness.

(c.) Disaster Preparedness- the knowledge and capacities developed by governments, professional response and
recovery organizations, communities and individuals such activities effectively anticipate\ respond to, and recover
from- the impacts of likely, imminent or current hazard events or conditions. Preparedness action is carried out
within the context of disaster risk reduction and management and aims to build the capacities needed to efficiently
manage all types of emergencies and achieve orderly transitions from response to sustained recovery. Preparedness
is based on a sound analysis of disaster risk, and good linkages with early warning systems, and includes such
activities as contingency planning, stockpiling of equipment and supplies, the development of arrangements for
coordination, evacuation and public information and associated training and field exercise. These must be supported
by formal institutional, legal and budgetary capacities.

(d) Disaster Prevention- the outright avoidance of adverse impacts of hazards and related disasters. It expresses the
concept and intention to completely avoid potentials adverse impacts through action taken in advance such as
construction of dams or embankments that eliminate flood risks, land use regulations that do not permit any
settlements in high risk zones, and seismic engineering designs that ensure the survival and function of a critical
building in any likely earthquake.

(e) Disaster Response- the provision of emergency services and public assistance during or immediately after
disaster in order to save lives reduces health impacts, ensure public safety and meet the basic subsistence needs of
the people affected. Disaster response is predominantly focused on immediate and short-term needs and is
sometimes called “disaster relief”.

occur to a particular community or a society over some specified future time period.

(h) Hazards- a dangerous phenomenon , substance, human activity or condition that may cause loss of life, injury or
other health impacts property damage, loss of livelihood and services , social and economic disruption or
environmental damage.

(i.) Risk- the combination of the probability of an event and its negative consequences. Also, the probability harmful
consequences, or expected losses (deaths, injuries, properties, livelihood, economic activity disruption or
environment damage) resulting from interactions between natural, human- induced hazards and vulnerable
conditions.

(j) Vulnerability- the characteristic and circumstances of a community, system or asset that make it susceptible to
the damaging effects of a hazard. Vulnerability may arise from various physical, social, economic, and
environmental factors such as poor design and construction of building, inadequate protection of assets, lack of
public information and awareness, limited official recognition of risks and preparedness measures and disregard for
wise environmental management.
