1. Difference of Hazard and 3

Disaster

• The main difference between hazard and

disaster is that HAZARD is a dangerous
situation or event that poses a threat to
humans while DISASTER is an event that
actually harms human’s life, property
and thus disrupts social activities.

• Hazards can lead to disasters.

2. Hyogo Framework 2005

• The Hyogo Framework is a global

blueprint for disaster risk reduction efforts
during the next decade. Its goal is to
substantially reduce disaster losses by 2015
- in lives, and in the social, economic, and
environmental assets of communities and
countries.

3. NEDA
• The National Economic and
Development Authority is the country’s
premier socioeconomic planning body,
highly regarded as the authority in
macroeconomic forecasting and policy
analysis and research. It provides high-level
advice to policymakers in Congress and the
Executive Branch. In terms of calamities
and disasters in our country, it functions
during rehabilitation and recovery
process.

4. Republic Act 10121

• Also known as Philippine Disaster
Reduction and Management Act.
• A National Disaster Risk Management Plan
(NDRMP) is being formulated, developed,
and implemented as the master plan that
will provide the strategies, organisation,
tasks of concerned agencies and local
government units, and other guidelines in
dealing with disasters or emergencies.
Through this plan, a coherent, integrated,
efficient, and responsive disaster risk
management at all levels will hopefully be
achieved.

5. NDRRMC
• The National Disaster Risk Reduction &
Management Council (NDRRMC) is the highest
organized and authorized body for Disaster
Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) in the
Philippines. Established by virtue of Republic
Act 10121 in 2010, the NDRRMC is composed of
various government, non-government, civil
sector and private sector organizations.
• The NDRRMC is vested with the overall policy-
making, coordination, integration, supervision,
monitoring and evaluation functions focusing
on DRRM.
• It is headed now by its executive director Mr.
Ricardo Jalad.

6. Hazard Profile
• A description of the physical characteristics
of a specific hazard and determination of
its various descriptors including magnitude,
duration, frequency, probability, and
extent.

7. Continental Drift Theory

• It was a revolutionary scientific theory
developed in the years 1908-1912 by Alfred
Wegener (1880-1930), a German
meteorologist, climatologist, and
geophysicist, that put forth the hypothesis
that the continents had all originally been a
part of one enormous landmass or
supercontinent about 240 million years
ago.

7. Continental Drift Theory

• Wegener postulated that about 200 million
years ago, a supercontinent that he called
Pangaea (which means "all lands" in Greek)
began to break up. Over millions of years
the pieces separated, first into two smaller
supercontinents, Laurasia and
Gondwanaland, during the Jurassic period
and then by the end of the Cretaceous
period into the continents we know today.

8. Plate Boundaries
• The point where two or more plates meet is
known as a plate boundary. It is at these
locations where earthquakes, volcanoes
and fold mountain form.
• Convergent boundary – collision of
tectonics plates (forms ocean ridge
and volcanic islands).
• Divergent boundary – tectonic plates
move away from each other (forms
fold mountains and oceanic trenches).
• Transform boundary – tectonic plates
slide past with each other (forms long
fault lines)

9. Layers of the Earth

• Earth is composed of several layers.
• Crust – thinnest layer of the Earth in
which livings thrive. There are two
types of crust:
• Continental crust - denser
• Oceanic crust – less dense
• Mantle – thickest layer of the Earth
composed mostly of molten rocks.
• Core – innermost layer of the Earth
mostly composed of metals. This layer
is responsible for the magnetic field
around the Earth.

• Mantle – thickest layer of the Earth

11. Rotation and Revolution 15

of the Earth
• Earth rotates around on its own axis.
Earth’s full rotation takes around
approximately 24 hours or 1 day. This
causes occurrence of daytime and night
time.
• Earth revolves around the sun on its orbit.
One full revolution of earth takes around
approximately 365 days or 1 year. This
causes occurrence of seasons on locations
above and below the equator.
