QUESTION QUESTION

Each group will make a bubble map of the following

questions:

1. Write one natural phenomenon that you can think of.

2. Can we prevent this natural phenomenon from
happening?
B. Lesson Proper
3. When does a natural phenomenon occur?
1. Deepening 4. Does the mere occurrence of this natural phenomenon
automatically damage people, properties,
environment, and the economy?
5. Where does this kind of event occur?
6. Who would be the most affected?

WHEN A NATURAL PHENOMENON BECOMES A HAZARD

AND A HAZARD BECOMES A DISASTER

C. Culminating Activity

1. Valuing
Natural Once you And when
event can park a car if it poses
be likened right a threat
to a weak beside it to people,
concrete becomes becomes
fence. a hazard. disaster.

For the next activity we will be playing a game. The players

may compose the whole students in a class. There are three
choices to choose from. They will have to distinguish whether
each of the following questions is a NATURAL EVENT,
HAZARD and DISASTER. Each player will have to choose
his/her answer and must be at the place of the choice for the
count of three after the question having been announced.
Until questions have been consumed, those who survive and
continuously get the correct answer will be declared winners.

QUESTIONS:
 1. A super typhoon with storm surge affecting Leyte.
2. A cyclone in a desert.
3. A typhoon passing over an unpopulated island.

DISASTER CONCEPTS

• Natural event
Hazard

• People encroach on hazardous

Exposure areas.

• People who encroach are

Vulnerability vulnerable of threat.

Exposure
Hazard

Vulnerability

ELEMENTS OF DISASTER RISK

 • Severity of the natural event
Hazard

• People encroach on hazardous

Exposure areas continue to grow.

• Vulnerable threat increases.

Vulnerability

Disaster
Vulnerability Exposure Hazard
Risk

IV. EVALUATION

Vulnerability x Exposure x Hazard = Disaster Risk

At the disaster risk model implies, the magnitude of the

disaster depends on:
1. The severity of the natural event;
2. The quantity of exposure of the elements at risk which
includes lives and properties; and
3. Vulnerability level or quality of exposure.

According to this formula, if there is no hazard, then the risk is

null (the same if population or vulnerability is null).

Answer the following questions:

1. How can we reduce exposure and vulnerability? List two

best measures.
