 Activity 2: Identify the following statement if they are mitigation for Landslides or
Sinkhole.

1. Retaining walls- can be created to stop the land from slipping this
is usually found in road and hill station
2. Rockfall barriers are installed to catch big rocks that can fall in the
slope
3. Replace old utility pipes- old water pipes can create a leak that can
dissolve rocks
4. Hire a building inspector- A land inspector will be able to survey
your land and beneath it
5. Increase vegetation cover- plants hold the soil that prevents erosion

HYDROMETEOROLOG
ICAL HAZARDS
 OBJECTIVES
1. Define hydro-meteorological hazards;
2. Identify different hydro-meteorological hazards;
3. Recognize the signs of impending hydro-meteorological
hazards.
4. Improve creativity through brochure making about
signs of hydro-meteorological hazards.
5. Value and apply the learned knowledge about
hydrometeorological hazards.
 HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL HAZARDS
Hydro means water.
Meteorological is a phenomena that are observable weather
events which illuminate and are explained by the science of
meteorology.
According to UNISDR (United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction),
HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL is a process or phenomenon of
atmospheric, hydrological or oceanographic nature 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.

2. Thunderstorm
3. Flood
4. Flashflood
5. Storm Surge
6. El Niño
7. La Niña
 CYCLONE ,TYPHOON OR HURRICANE
Tropical cyclone, also called typhoon or hurricane, an
intense circular storm that originates over warm tropical oceans
and is characterized by low atmospheric pressure, high winds,
and heavy rain.

A Typhoon is a low-pressure area or a tropical cyclone that is

large and violent. It rotates counterclockwise with warm air
raising above the warm water of the Western Pacific Ocean. On
the other side of the world, some call it hurricane or wily-wily.
(Department of Education 2008)
 CYCLONE ,TYPHOON OR HURRICANE
A typhoon forms when the wind
blows in warm water. This wind
collects moisture and rises while
the colder moves below. This
process creates pressure that
causes the wind to move quickly.
The wind rotates to the canter that
called an eye and the more
moisture and warm air the more
intense the wind.
 CYCLONE ,TYPHOON OR HURRICANE

Hurricanes occur in the Atlantic Ocean and the eastern

north Pacific Ocean.
Typhoons occur in the western Pacific Ocean.
Tropical cyclones occur in the south Pacific Ocean and
Indian Ocean.

METEOROLOGICAL HAZARDS

 TYPHOON
1. Strong winds
2. Dark clouds
3. Blowing debris
4. Barometers start to drop
5. Cirrus clouds start to appear
 THUNDERSTORM
This is a powerful, short-lived weather disturbance, almost
always associated with lightning, thunder, dense clouds,
heavy rain or hail, and fast, roaring winds. Thunderstorms
occur when layers of dry, moist air rise to cooler regions
of the atmosphere in a broad, rapid updraft.
 THUNDERSTORM
Thunderstorm forms through 3 stages known as CUMULUS
STAGE, MATURE STAGE and DISSIPATING STAGE.

Cumulus Stage where

the sun heats the Earth's
surface during the day
and warms the air around
it.
 THUNDERSTORM

MATURE STAGE
A cumulus cloud becomes
very large, where the water
therein becomes large and
heavy, and raindrops begin to
fall through the cloud when
the rising air can no longer
hold them up.
 THUNDERSTORM

DISSIPATING STAGE
After 30 minutes, thunderstorm
begins to dissipate, this occurs
when the downdrafts in the cloud
begins to dominate over the
updraft. Since warm moist air can
no longer rise, cloud droplets can
no longer form.

1. Cumulus/Shelf/Wall clouds formed

2. Lightning and thunder
3. Wind blowing
4. Temperature drop
 FLOOD & FLASHFLOOD
Flood is a high-water stage in which water overflows its
natural or artificial banks onto normally dry land, such as
a river inundating its floodplain. The effects of floods on
human well-being range from unqualified blessings to
catastrophes.
 FLOOD & FLASHFLOOD
“ the rise of water from stream, water drainage, enclosed bodies
of water, and rivers that is overflowing on adjacent lands; the
overflowing is a result of continuous heavy rainfall due to
weather conditions such as monsoons, tropical cyclones, and
intertropical convergence zone (DepEd, 2008, p.26)”
 FLOOD & FLASHFLOOD
Flood is also defined as superfluous water that swamps land and
property that are ordinarily dry (Haddow, Bullock and Coppala, 2011).

Flood hazard is “compounded by the problems of sediments

positon, drainage congestion, synchronization of river floods
with sea tides in the coastal plain (Haddow, Bullock and Coppola, 2011,
p.16)”.
 TYPES OF FLOODS
1. Inland flooding is the technical name for ordinary flooding
that occurs in inland areas, hundreds of miles from the coast.
 TYPES OF FLOODS
2. Flash floods are caused by
heavy rain or the sudden
release of water over a short
period of time. The name
"flash" refers to their fast
occurrence and also to their
raging torrents of water that
move with great speed. Flash
floods are also caused by
heavy precipitation in a short
period of time, usually less
than 6 hours.
 TYPES OF FLOODS
3. River flooding occurs when water levels in rivers,
lakes, and streams rise and overflow onto the
surrounding banks, shores, and neighboring land.
 TYPES OF FLOODS
4. Coastal flooding is the inundation of land areas along
the coast by seawater.
 TYPES OF FLOODS
5. Urban flooding occurs when there is a lack of drainage
in an urban (city) area.

 FLOOD/FLASHFLOOD

1. Intense rainfall
2. Dam failure
3. Slow-moving Tropical Storm
4. Check local weather channel
 STORM SURGE
Storm surge or "Daluyong ng Bagyo" in the Philippine system
where the irregular sea-level rise during tropical cyclone or "bagyo"
occurs. When the tropical cyclone reaches the coast, powerful
winds force the ocean water over the coastal low-lying areas, which
can lead to flooding.
 STORM SURGE
PAGASA takes many technological considerations into
account when forecasting the negative impacts of a storm surge. For
storm surge prone communities, the most important considerations
are the strength of the tropical cyclone; the height of the surge, and
the community located in the low-lying area.

 EL NIÑO
EL NIÑO- means The Little Boy, or Christ Child in
Spanish. El Niño was originally recognized by fishermen off the
coast of South America in the 1600s, with the appearance of
unusually warm water in the Pacific ocean. The name was
chosen based on the time of year (around December) during
which these warm waters events tended to occur.

The term El Niño refers to the large-scale ocean-

atmosphere climate interaction linked to a periodic warming in
sea surface temperatures across the central and east-central
Equatorial Pacific.
 LA NIÑA
LA NIÑA – means The Little Girl in Spanish. La Niña
is also sometimes called El Viejo, anti-El Niño, or
simply "a cold event.“

La Niña episodes represent periods of below-average

sea surface temperatures across the east-central
Equatorial Pacific. Global climate La Niña impacts tend to
be opposite those of El Niño impacts. In the tropics, ocean
temperature variations in La Niña also tend to be opposite
those of El Niño.
 IMPENDING SIGNS OF HYDRO-
METEOROLOGICAL HAZARDS
 EL NIÑO
1. Extended dry season
2. Delayed rainy season
3. Weak monsoon activity
4. Fewer tropical cyclones

 LA NIÑA
1. Normal to above rainfall condition
2. Increase in a tropical storm.
