BASIC DISASTER CONCEPTS
Hazard
(Bantang panganib)
A process, phenomenon, or human activity that may cause loss of life
Disaster
(Sakuna)
A serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society
Multi-hazard
Hazardous events may occur simultaneously, cascadingly, or cumulatively
vs.
3 TYPES OF HAZARDS
Natural
Anthropogenic or human-induced
Socionatural
HAZARDS INCLUDE:
•Biological
•Environmental
•Geological or geophysical
•Hydrometeorological
•Technological
DISASTER RISK REDUCTION FORMULA
Exposure – located in hazard-prone areas
Vulnerability – susceptibility of an individual, community, assets, or systems to the impacts of hazards
Capacity – combination of strengths, attributes, and resources
Disaster risk – potential disaster losses
“There is no such thing as natural disaster, only natural hazards.”
Toward Resilience
Figure 1. A visual reference to illustrate risk as a function of hazard, vulnerability, and exposure, what a (natural or human-induced) disaster is, and the concept of resilience. (United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction)
Hazard
Exposure × Vulnerability
= Disaster Risk
