DEFINITION OF TERMS
 HAZARD

Is a dangerous phenomenon, substance, human activity or condition

that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property
damage, loss of livelihood & services, social & economic disruption
or environmental damage...
Could be a potentially damaging phenomenon
It could be natural or human-induced.

4
 EXPOSURE

The degree to which the element at risk are likely to experience

hazard events of different magnitude.

5
 VULNERABILITY

Is the characteristics and circumstances of a community,

system or asset that make it susceptible to the damaging effects of a
hazard.

This may arise from various physical, social, economic &

environmental factors.

 VULNERABILITY Continued

VULNERABILITY HAS BEEN RELATED TO THE FOLLOWING FACTORS:

Social Integration Psychological & Physiological
Ethnicity Locus of control
Age Disability
Gender Coping-style
Location Individuals perception
Status Lifestyle
Wealth Agility
Income Mobility
Education Experience
Family type

community, society or organization that can reduce the level of risk
or effects of a disaster.
CAPACITY

 RISK

Is the combination of Probability of an event to happen and its

negative consequences...

 DISASTER

A disaster is a natural or man-made (or technological) hazard

resulting in an event of substantial extent causing significant
physical damage or destruction, loss of life, or drastic change to the
environment. A disaster can be ostensively defined as any tragic
event stemming from events such as earthquakes, floods,
catastrophic accidents, fires, or explosions. It is a phenomenon that
can cause damage to life and property and destroy the economic,
social and cultural life of people.

In contemporary academia, disasters are seen as the consequence

of inappropriately managed risk. These risks are the product of a
combination of both hazard/s and vulnerability. Hazards that strike in
areas with low vulnerability will never become disasters, as is the
case in uninhabited regions.

CLASSIFICATIONS
Natural Disaster
A natural disaster is a consequence when a natural hazard affects
humans and/or the built environment. Human vulnerability, and lack
of appropriate emergency management, leads to financial,
environmental, or human impact. The resulting loss depends on the
capacity of the population to support or resist the disaster: their
resilience. This understanding is concentrated in the formulation:
"disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability". A natural hazard
will hence never result in a natural disaster in areas without
vulnerability.

CLASSIFICATIONS
Man-made or Human Induced Disaster
Man-made disasters are the consequence of technological or
human hazards. Examples include stampedes, fires, transport
accidents, industrial accidents, oil spills and nuclear
explosions/radiation. War and deliberate attacks may also be put in
this category. As with natural hazards, man-made hazards are
events that have not happened, for instance terrorism. Man-made
disasters are examples of specific cases where man-made hazards
have become reality in an event

WHEN IS AN EVENT A DISASTER?
1. At least 20% of the population are affected & in need of
emergency assistance or those dwelling units have been
destroyed.

2. A great number or at least 40% of the means of livelihood such

as bancas, fishing boats, vehicles and the like are destroyed.

3. Major roads and bridges are destroyed and impassable for at

least a week, thus disrupting the flow of transport and commerce.

HISTORICAL SEISMICITY

The PHIVOLCS earthquake and catalogue seismicity maps shows

so far, seven (7) historically and instrumentally recorded destructive
earthquakes (Intensity VII-IX in the adapted Rossi-Forel scale) have
affected Baguio City for the past 356 years (1645-2001). This
roughly translate into a return period of at least one destructive
earthquake (Intensity VII to IX) for every 50 years. In addition, there
were four very destructive earthquakes during the 356-year period
for a return period of at least one very destructive earthquake
RISK PROFILE

(Intensity VIII to IX) for every 89 years. In comparison, regional

probabilistic seismic hazard calculations by Thenhaus (1994)
yielded annual probability rates of Ms:
6.4 to <7.0 (1 in 23 years)
7.0 to <7.3 (1 in 62 years)
Ms <8.2 (1 in 166 years)

THE PHILIPPINE DRRM SYSTEM
 THE PHILIPPINE DRRM SYSTEM
Disaster legislation in the Philippines dates back in 1978, primarily
reactive approach to disasters, focusing heavily on preparedness
and response. Other relevant legislation for mainstreaming of
disaster risk reduction into development includes land-use controls
and building codes. However, building codes are not strictly
enforced and zoning ordinances which are reported to have been
relaxed over time.

With the approval of the DRRM (Republic Act

No. 10121) expect that there would be a
paradigm shift emphasizing disaster
management to a disaster risk management
approach, with much greater importance given
to reducing risk. The RA was approved on 27
May 2010, and the Implementing Rules and
DRR

Regulations was crafted by the Task Force RA

10121 headed by the OCD.

DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
A comprehensive disaster risk management strategy, actively
involving stakeholders at all levels of government as well as the
private sector, local communities and civil society, is required to
implement the legislative framework and to provide coordination and
monitoring mechanisms and arrangements.

Individual disaster risk reduction actions and programs need to be

located within this strategy, rather than treated as discrete, individual
measures. Moreover, the strategy needs to indicate specific entry
points and mechanisms for mainstreaming disaster risk reduction
concerns into both the broader development agenda and the design
and implementation of individual development initiatives.

 Continued
DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
Individual line agencies and local governments are legally
responsible for implementing disaster management, as it is still
commonly referred to in department circulars and executive orders,
within their own areas of responsibility. In practice, some LGUs have
yet to even establish their disaster coordinating councils (DCCs),
while those DCCs that have been established vary in quality. In
addition, reflecting Presidential Decree (PD) 1566s reactive
approach to DCC meetings are commonly held only on an ad hoc
basis, in response to crisis situations, rather than on a more regular
basis to discuss ongoing risk reduction initiatives, and DCCs risk
reduction and mainstreaming capacity and capabilities are often
very limited.
