DISASTER READINESS AND RISK REDUCTION MANAGEMENT

Lesson Objectives
1 Define hazards
2 Give examples of the types of hazards
Explain the impact of various hazards on

3 different exposed elements.

Why do toy manufacturers usually indicate
warning labels in their products?

DEFINITION OF
HAZARD
Hazard
Hazards are potentially damaging

physical events, phenomena or
human activities that may cause
injury or loss of life, damage to
property, social and economic
disruption, or environmental
degradation (UNISDR 2007).

GENERAL KIND OF
HAZARD
Natural Hazard
These are hazards that is beyond human
control.

Natural Hazard
Hydro-meteorological and climatological

1 hazards
A process or phenomenon of atmospheric, hydrological or

oceanographic that includes tropical cyclones, thunderstorms,
hailstorms, tornados, blizzards, heavy snowfall, avalanches,
coastal storm surges, floods including flash floods, drought,
heatwaves and cold spells.

Natural Hazard
2 Geologic Hazards
Is an extreme natural events in the crust of the earth that pose a

threat to life and property, for example, earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, tsunamis (tidal waves) and landslides.

3 Biological Hazard
Also known as biohazards, refer to biological substances that pose

a threat to the health of living organisms, primarily that of humans.
This can include samples of a microorganism, virus or toxin (from
a biological source) that can affect human health.

3 Biological Hazards

Natural Hazard
4 Astronomical Hazard
A potentially hazardous object (PHO) is a near-Earth object –

either an asteroid or a comet – with an orbit that can make
exceptionally close approaches to the Earth and large enough to
cause significant regional damage in the event of impact.

Hazard Induced by
Humans
Maybe due to accidents, carelessness, or
inability to implement protective
measures.

Hazard Induced by Humans
1 Fire Hazard
Fire hazards are workplace hazards that involve the presence of
flame or the risk of an uncontrolled fire.

2 Industrial and Technological Hazard

Include industrial pollution, nuclear radiation, toxic wastes,
dam failures, transport, industrial or technological accidents
(explosions, fires, chemical spills). - UNISDR

Industrial pollution nuclear radiation toxic wastes

Dam failure Factory explosions Chemical spills

3 High-risk recreation hazards

Outdoor recreation, such as hiking, camping,
canoeing, cycling, or skiing, entails risks, even if
participants do not recklessly place themselves in harm's
way. In some circumstances, such as being in remote
locations or in extreme weather conditions, even a minor
accident may create a dangerous situation that
requires survival skills.

3 High-risk recreation hazards
Camping Canoeing Cycling

Hazards Planned
by People
Because of personal or political interest,
resulting in massive loss of lives and
properties.

Hazards Planned by People
1 Arson
Fire planned by people by means of personal interest.

2 Terrorism
The unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against
civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

3 Wars
War is a situation or a period of fighting
between countries or groups of people.
A war generally involves the use of
weapon, a military organization and
soldiers. War is a situation in which a
nation enforces its rights by using force.

HAZARD ANALYSIS
Hazard Analysis
It is the identification, study,
and monitoring of any
hazard to determine its Purpose of Tools for Doing
Hazard Hazard Analysis
potential, origin, Analysis
characteristics, and
behavior. – UNISDR 2007.

Purpose of Hazard
Analysis

Hazard Analysis
1 Provide description of the hazards
Help in setting priorities corresponding to the need for

2 protection
Assist in designing the appropriate DRRM system,

3 plan, system, programs, and services.

Tools for Doing
Hazard Analysis

Hazard Analysis
Community hazards and disaster history

1 construction
This method, the

existing hazards and the
disasters that the
community experienced
are identified.

Hazard Analysis
2 Hazard and vulnerability mapping
Areas in the community that are vulnerable to a

specific hazard are identified then located in
the map.

Hazard Analysis
3 Factor Analysis
Tool describes the characteristics of the hazard in terms

of frequency, duration, speed of onset, intensity,
probability, forewarning, manageability.
