Disaster Risk

defined by United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) as the combination of the probability of an event and its negative consequences.

Disaster Risk

This includes severity of hazard, number of damage to people and resources, and their vulnerability to damage

Hazard

refers to any phenomenon that can potentially cause damage to life, property, or environment.

Exposure

any element (people, property, or system) that is present in a hazard and is prone to potential loss

Vulnerability

refers to the feature of community that makes them prone and exposed to the negative impacts of hazard

Resilience

the ability to withstand/ adapt effectively and recover from a disaster

Risk Assessment

refers to the evaluation of the short-term and long-term risks associated with a particular activity or hazard. It is made to estimate the potential economic, infrastructure, and social impacts

True

Proper Disaster Risk Assessment reduces the negative impacts of future disasters. True or False?

Disaster Risk Factors

This affects the degree of disaster risk in a community. It can either intensify or lessen the effects of disaster.

Physical Disaster Risk Factor

This type of Disaster Risk Factor includes the concrete objects in a community that can help or harm an individual during disaster.

Physical Disaster Risk Factor

Examples of this type of disaster risk factor are availability of fire exits during a fire, sturdiness of infrastructure, or the ability of a building to withstand earthquakes.

Psychological Disaster Risk Factor

This Disaster Risk Factor includes the mental state of an individual, like the ability of an individual to respond to a disaster and fear.

Sociocultural Disaster Risk Factor

This type of Disaster Risk Factor includes traditions, religion, and social statues in society, like community folklore, presence of bayanihan, etc.

Economic Disaster Risk Factor

This type of Disaster Risk Factor includes resources in the community and the income source of individuals such as farming and employment.

Biological Disaster Risk Factor

This type of Disaster Risk Factor includes the flora and fauna in the environment, their health, and its diseases.

Disaster Risk Reduction

This aims to decrease the risk level in communities. It implements policies and measures to control potential risk. To reduce vulnerability, degree of exposure, and increase preparedness.

Mitigation

refers to the effort to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters.

Effects of Disaster in Population

Effects of Disaster that increases people to be in evacuation centers because of disasters to seek shelter nearby.

Effects of Disaster in Health

Resilience

The ability to recover from impacts of a disaster.

Social support

This factor increases the resilience of an individual through self-efficiency to believe that one can survive any disaster and reduce mental distress in the future. This includes values like optimism, hope, and confidence.
