Human Induced Hazards
www.redcross.org.ph

When is there a
presence of Disaster
Risk?
Disaster Risk
Hazard + Vulnerability =
Capacity
www.redcross.org.ph
www.redcross.org.ph
Why do people live in
conditions of vulnerability?
• Ignorance of the
vulnerability or limited
perception of risk;
• Limited interest,
authority, ability to
change it;
• Poor ineffectual
leadership to alter
conditions, and
• Few alternate options.

DISASTER MANAGEMENT
www.redcross.org.ph
DISASTER MANAGEMENT IS NOT…
1. A national government nor a local government
problem
2. An academician’s problem nor a politician’s
problem
3. A citizen’s problem nor a destiny problem
DISASTER MANAGEMENT IS …
1. A national issue for the Philippines . . . for every
country of the world
2. The responsibility of all the active agents of
society
3. A concern of each community member
