Lesson

1 Hazard and Its Types

This lesson introduces various concepts underlying hazard and determine types of
Hazard and its example. In the varied information given below it will help students
understand the major effects of hazards and how to prevent and avoid that to
happen. It will also serve as a warning signal for the students to be aware and extra
cautious.
These are the some definitions of Hazards from different sources:
According to Burton et al (1978), Hazard is defined as "Those elements of the
physical environment, harmful to man and caused by forces extraneous to him.
It is also defined as a source of potential harm or a situation with a potential to

As stated in Philippine DRRR law 2010, 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 livelihoods and services, social and
economic disruption, or environmental damage.

What is It

Let’s Learn

After identifying hazards in the previous activity, this part gives information about
the types of Hazard and its example.

Hazards can be categorized in different types:


1. Natural hazards - arise from natural processes in the environment.
e.g. earthquakes, tsunami, landslides, volcanic eruptions and floods

2. Quasi-natural hazards- arise through the interaction of natural processes and


human activities
e.g. pollution or desertification, smog and fog

3. Technological (or man-made) hazards- These arise directly as a result of


human activities.
e.g. accidental release of chemicals, toxic and pesticides to floral and fauna

7
Hazards Signs and Symbols

These signs and symbols with corresponding meaning below help people to be extra
cautious, aware and observant in surroundings.

Each picture is designed to become recognizable to anyone as a signal word like


“danger” or “warning”.
