LESSON
OBJECTIVES
After going through this module, you are
expected to:

• identify the risk factors underlying disasters

• describe each Risk factors underlying disasters.
• utilize the gained knowledge in real life
situations to avoid harm and assure safety.
 DISASTER
Disaster can affect everyone, it
does not discriminate.

But certain risk factors put

those affected in a position
where they will have graver or
longer-lasting post-disaster

stress reactions.
Activity 2.1

Based on your understanding

of disaster from the previous
module, enumerate or list
down the risks that are
reflected from the text on the
next slide. Click on the model to interact

RISK FACTORS

What is it?
RISK FACTORS
DISASTER RISK HAS THREE IMPORTANT
ELEMENTS:

• EXPOSURE
• HAZARD
• VULNERABILITY
EXPOSURE

the “elements at
risk from a
natural or man-
made hazard
event (Quebral, 2016).
HAZARD
a potentially dangerous
physical occurrence,
phenomenon or
human activity that may
result in loss of life or
injury, property damage,
social and economic
disruption, or
environmental degradation.
HAZARD
a potentially dangerous
physical occurrence,
phenomenon or
human activity that may
result in loss of life or injury,
property damage, social and
economic disruption, or
environmental degradation.
VULNERABILITY
the condition determined by
physical, social, economic
and environmental factors or
processes, which increase
the susceptibility of a
community to the impact of
hazard (Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United
nation, FAO 2008).
RISK FACTORS

Reduction of the
level of vulnerability
and exposure is
possible by keeping
people and property
as distant as possible
from hazards.
RISK FACTORS
are processes or
conditions, often
development-
related, that
influence the level
of disaster risk
RISK FACTORS
OTHER FACTORS THAT ARE ALSO
CONSIDERED UNDERLYING DISASTER:

• SEVERITY EXPOSURE
• GENDER AND FAMILY
• AGE
• ECONOMIC STATUS OF COUNTRY
OTHER FACTORS THAT ARE ALSO CONSIDERED
UNDERLYING DISASTER:

SEVERITY OF EXPOSURE:
• which measures those
who experience
disaster first hand
which has the highest
risk of developing
future mental
problems
OTHER FACTORS THAT ARE ALSO CONSIDERED
UNDERLYING DISASTER:

SEVERITY OF EXPOSURE:
• followed by those in
contact with the victims
such as rescue workers and
health care practitioners
and the lowest risk are
those most distant like
those who have awareness
of the disaster only
through news.
OTHER FACTORS THAT ARE ALSO CONSIDERED
UNDERLYING DISASTER:

Gender and Family

• the female gender
suffers more adverse
effects.
• Marital relationships
are placed under
strain.
OTHER FACTORS THAT ARE ALSO CONSIDERED
UNDERLYING DISASTER:

Gender and Family

• the female gender
suffers more adverse
effects.
• Marital relationships
are placed under
strain.
OTHER FACTORS THAT ARE ALSO CONSIDERED
UNDERLYING DISASTER:

AGE
• adults in the age range
of 40-60 are more
stressed after disasters
but in general, children
exhibit more stress after
disasters than adults do.
OTHER FACTORS THAT ARE ALSO CONSIDERED
UNDERLYING DISASTER:

Economic status of country

• evidence indicates
that severe mental
problems resulting
from disasters are
more prevalent in
developing countries
like the Philippines
OTHER FACTORS THAT ARE ALSO CONSIDERED
UNDERLYING DISASTER:

Economic status of country

• it has been observed
that natural disasters
tend to have more
adverse effects in
developing countries
than do man caused
disasters in developed
countries
