PROCESSES AND DISASTER
DISASTER

A disaster is a sudden and severe event that

causes significant disruption, destruction, and
often results in substantial human, economic,
and environmental losses.
 DISASTER
Two
classifications of
Disaster

• Natural
disaster
• Man-made
disaster
 DISASTER
Natural disaster

• any events driven

by natural
processes and
phenomena.
• Earthquake,
volcanic eruptions,
landslides,
typhoons, tsunamis,
thunderstorms are
only few examples
of natural disaster.
 DISASTER
Man-made disaster

• any events driven

by human activities.
• Landslide and flash
flood are some
categories of
disaster that can be
man-made and
natural as well.
DISASTER
Disasters brought about by natural processes is
further sub-divided into the following:

• Geologic disaster – land-related disaster

• Hydrologic disaster – water-related disaster
• Atmospheric and meteorologic disaster
atmospheric and meteorologic-related disaster

EARTHQUAKE
 EARTHQUAKE
• Earthquakes are defined as
movements of the ground that are
GEOLOGIC caused by a sudden release of
energy when rocks along a fault
DISASTERS move.
WITH THEIR • When fault suddenly moves, the
energy beneath the surface of the
HAZARD Earth is released away from the
focus and travels in all directions
like a stone dropped into a calm
water.
 EARTHQUAKE
• Earthquakes are defined as
movements of the ground that are
GEOLOGIC caused by a sudden release of
energy when rocks along a fault
DISASTERS move.
WITH THEIR • When fault suddenly moves, the
energy beneath the surface of the
HAZARD Earth is released away from the
focus and travels in all directions
like a stone dropped into a calm
water.
 EARTHQUAKE
• The strength of an earthquake is
measured based on the seismic
GEOLOGIC wave generated deep within the
Earth. Using magnitude and intensity
scale, scientists were able to
DISASTERS determine how strong and
devastating an earthquake could be.
WITH THEIR • Richter magnitude scale measures
the magnitude and describes how
HAZARD strong an earthquake could be and is
represented from 0-9.
• Mercalli intensity scale describe the
degree of effects of the earthquake
based on the damage it could bring.
 EARTHQUAKE
• There are two types of earthquake
that may happen depending on
GEOLOGIC its cause:
DISASTERS
1. Tectonic earthquake – generated
WITH THEIR by sudden movement of fault

HAZARD system.
2. Volcanic earthquake – generated
during volcanic eruptions.
 EARTHQUAKE HAZARD
• When earthquake occurs, it creates various hazards
that could potentially harm plants, animals, and man.
Such hazards includes the following:

• Ground shaking
• Surface faulting
• Liquefaction
• Tsunami
• Landslide

 VOLCANIC ERUPTION

• It is a phenomena when a
molten magma flows out
through a volcanic vent
during volcanic activity. As
the volcano erupted, it
releases lava, rocks, ashes,
and various gases that can
potentially harm anybody.

 LANDSLIDE

• Landslide is the downward

movement of the soil, rocks,
and other debris into a
slope that may occur
naturally during an
earthquake or due to
human activities like
deforestation.
 LANDSLIDE
What triggers landslide?

• Typhoon
• Deforestation
• Mining
• Excavation
• Land pollution
 LANDSLIDE
What are the effects of
landslide?

• Damage to property
• Clearing of forested areas
• Deposition of land mass to
sewage systems
• Transportation problem
• Death

FLOOD
 FLOOD
• Floods occur when water levels
rise to cover land that is usually
GEOLOGIC dry. They can result from heavy
DISASTERS rainfall, rapid snowmelt, dam or
levee failures, or storm surges.
WITH THEIR • When flood occurs, communities
are exposed to hazards like land
HAZARD subsidence, submersion of
communities to water, and
Leptospirosis disease.
 FLASH FLOOD
• Flash flood, on the other hand,
may occur due to sudden release
GEOLOGIC of water from reservoir or through
DISASTERS dam failure without the presence
of a storm or a typhoon.
WITH THEIR • When this happens, communities
and organisms are exposed to
HAZARD hazards like habitat loss, soil and
river erosion, damage to
infrastructure, and even death.

HAILSTORM
TROPICAL CYCLONE
 TROPICAL CYCLONE
• It is a severe weather disturbance
characterized by a strong winds
GEOLOGIC and heavy rainfall which revolve
DISASTERS around a central low-pressure
area, called the eye.
WITH THEIR • Tropical cyclone can be
categorized into two based on the
HAZARD location of their formation:
1. Hurricane
2. Typhoon
How does a Tropical Cyclone looks like?
How does a Typhoon categorize?
Tropical Cyclone Hazard

STRONG WIND HEAVY RAINFALL

Tropical Cyclone Hazard
STORM SURGE

• This hazard happen

in response to a
very strong wind of
a category 4 or 5
typhoon making the
surface waves to go
into the
landmasses, just
like in the case of
super typhoon
Yolanda.
TORNADO AND WATERSPOUT
 TORNADO & WATERSPOUT
• These are rapidly swirling
condensation funnel, whose
GEOLOGIC narrow end come in contact either
DISASTERS with the ground (tornado) or a
bodies of water (waterspout).
WITH THEIR • It could bring hazards like:
HAZARD 1. Strong whirlwind
2. Flying debris
3. Fire
TORNADO WATERSPOUT
THUNDERSTORM
 THUNDERSTORM
• A powerful, short-lived weather
disturbance which is always
GEOLOGIC associated with hazards like
lightning, thunder, dense clouds,
DISASTERS heavy rain or hail, and fast, roaring
winds.
WITH THEIR • Most thunderstorm occurred
HAZARD during summer or hot season in
which water vapor rises to the
atmosphere and forms a violent
weather condition.
MONSOON
 MONSOON
• These are seasonal winds that
blow during a certain period of
GEOLOGIC time because of the difference in
DISASTERS air pressure and temperature.
• Locally, these wind systems are
WITH THEIR called as Habagat (Southwest
monsoon) and Amihan (Northeast
HAZARD monsoon).
 MONSOON
HABAGAT SEASON
• This wind system brings moisture
GEOLOGIC absorbed from the surrounding
DISASTERS seas and causes hazards like
heavy rainfall that may result to
WITH THEIR flash flood and landslide.
HAZARD • It is also during this time that
flooding of communities are
frequently occurring.
 MONSOON
AMIHAN SEASON
• Wind that blows from Siberia that
GEOLOGIC brings cold and dry air. During
DISASTERS Amihan season, severe
thunderstorm may be experience
WITH THEIR and health issue may arise.
HAZARD • It is also during this time that skin,
intestinal, and respiratory diseases
are common among all age
groups.
HAILSTORM
 HAILSTORM
• Hailstorms produce large, frozen
pellets of ice that can damage
GEOLOGIC crops, vehicles, and structures.
DISASTERS • This could bring hazard like storm
of ice particles that is present in
WITH THEIR solid form and could harm
anyone.
HAZARD • It is most common in polar regions
and temperate countries.
What can we do
to prepare?
 HAZARD MAP
• Hazard maps are important tools
in disaster risk reduction and
GEOLOGIC emergency management. They
DISASTERS provide visual representations of
potential hazards in specific
WITH THEIR geographic areas, offering
valuable information to
HAZARD communities, government
agencies, planners, and decision-
makers.
 HAZARD MAP
• Risk awareness and
communication
GEOLOGIC • Informed decision-making
DISASTERS • Emergency response planning

WITH THEIR • Early warning system

• Community engagement
HAZARD • Resource allocation
• Insurance and risk assessment
• Research and education
 How can we
cope up with the
effects of
Disaster?
WAYS TO COUNTER THE EFFECTS OF DISASTER
A. Stay positive – remain calm and do not panic. Think
of a way on how you can survive a disaster or
hazard.

B. Be informed – watch or listen to news and timely

updates about the condition of the environment.

C. Stay alert – be observant to your environment.

WAYS TO COUNTER THE EFFECTS OF DISASTER
D. Guard yourself and your family – prioritize yourself
and your family’s safety at all times.

E. Follow safety measures – adhere to the safety

measures given by the authority.

F. Stay home – Do not go closer to any hazard in the

environment. Stay away from them.
G. Pray – surrender your safety and your family’s safety
to the Almighty Creator.
