i. Definition

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.

Also, a disaster can be extensively 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 (Urdaneta CDRRMO).

i. Definition

Vulnerability is defined as: “The conditions determined by

physical, social, economic, and environmental factors or

processes, which increase the susceptibility of a community to

the impact of hazards” (UN/ISDR, Geneva 2004 as cited by

UN/ISDR).

means?


CDRRMO

i. Definition

Hazard is defined as: “A potentially damaging physical event,

phenomenon or human activity that may cause the loss of life or

injury, property damage, social and economic disruption or

environmental degradation. Hazards can include latent conditions

that may represent future threats and can have different origins:

natural (geological, hydrometeorological and biological) or induced by

human processes (environmental degradation and technological

hazards)” (UN/ISDR, Geneva 2004 as cited by UN/ISDR).

Man-made disasters are examples of specific cases where man-made hazards have

become reality in an event (Urdaneta CDRRMO).

response to the call of

President Benigno S. Aquino

III for a more accurate,

integrated, and responsive

disaster prevention and

mitigation system, especially

in high-risk areas throughout

the Philippines

(http://www.gov.ph/about-

The Philippines is rising against the challenges of Climate

Change.“Para naman po sa paghahanda sa kalamidad: Ang layunin nating

magpanday ng mga mekanismo upang mailayo sa peligro ang Pilipino:

natupad na rin po. Nariyan po ang epektibong serbisyong bunsod ng

pagsasanib-puwersa ng Geohazard Mapping and Assessment Program at

Project NOAH (Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards) naman ng

DOST (Department of Science and Technology).”
