This document provides definitions and terminology for concepts related to disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) and climate change (CC) according to Philippine law and United Nations frameworks. It aims to help participants understand and properly apply these terms. The document defines key terms like hazard, vulnerability, capacity, prevention, mitigation, adaptation, and more. It also distinguishes between DRRM and CC, and explains the objectives of DRRM. Participants will use their understanding of these concepts to formulate a DRRM-CCAM plan for schools.
2. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the sessions, the participants should
be able to:
Present the DRRM and CC agreed definitions
according to RA. 10121- Philippine Disaster
Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010,
the 2009 UNISDR Terminology on Disaster Risk
Reduction, the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC), and the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC);
Gain understanding and right application of
the DRRM and CC related terminologies; and
Formulate a DRRM-CCAM plan for their
respective schools based on their
understanding of the DRRM and CC concepts
and terminologies.

7. HAZARD
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.
• There is a potential…
• Slow onset, rapid
onset
• Natural or human-
induced
12. DISASTER
The serious disruption of the
functioning of society, causing
widespread human, material or
environmental losses, which exceed
the ability of the affected people to
cope using their own resources.
13. HAZARD VS DISASTER
Hazard-No death, no damage in
properties and livelihood and affected
people
Disaster-There are dead people, damaged
properties and livelihood and affected
people
14.
15. DISASTER RISK
The potential disaster losses, in lives,
health status, livelihoods, assets and
services, which could occur to a
particular community or a society over
some specified future time period.
24. o Sensitivity:
Who are the most affected of the hazard?
e.g. mas sensitive ang mga mangunguma sa tingadlaw kumpara sa mga mangingisda
kag naga-mina.
o Exposure:
Location of the building,houses and individuals(diin nga lugar ang pinaka-
apektado?)
e.g. mas exposed sa tsunami o storm surge ang mga balay sa higad dagat kumpara sa
ara sa mga bukid. Pero mas exposed ang mga balay sa kilid sang bukid sa landslide o
soil erosion.
ELEMENTS OF VULNERABILITY
28. CAPACITY
The combination of all
the strengths,
attributes and
resources available
within a community,
society or organization
that can be used to
achieve agreed goals.
29.
30.
31.
32. PREVENTION
The outright avoidance of adverse
impacts of hazards and related
disasters.
Sendai Framework for DRR speaks of
prevention as “prevention of new
risks”
33.
34. MITIGATION
The lessening or limitation of the
adverse impacts of hazards and related
disasters.
• Adverse impacts of hazards often cannot be prevented
fully – use interchangeably with prevention
• Scale or severity can be substantially lessened by
various strategies and actions
• Both structural and non-structural measures
35.
36. PREPAREDNESS
The knowledge and capacities developed by
governments, professional response and
recovery organizations, communities and
individuals to effectively anticipate, respond
to, and recover from, the impacts of likely,
imminent or current hazard events or
conditions.
• Requires formal institutional, legal
and budgetary support and
capacities
• Aims to build capacities needed to
efficiently manage all types of
emergencies
37.
38.
39. RESPONSE
Provision of emergency services and
public assistance during or
immediately after a disaster in order to
save lives, reduce health impacts,
ensure public safety and meet the basic
subsistence needs of the people
affected.
• Immediate and short-term needs
• Division between response stage and
subsequent recovery stage is not clear-
cut
• Response actions, such as the supply of
temporary housing and water supplies,
may extend well into the recovery stage
40.
41. REHABILITATION
Measures that ensure the ability of
affected communities/areas to restore
their normal level of functioning by
rebuilding livelihood and damaged
infrastructures and increasing the
communities' organizational capacity.
• Actions taken in the aftermath of disaster
to:
• Assist victims to repair their
dwellings
• Re-establish essential services
• Revive key economic and social
activities
42.
43. RECONSTRUCTION
Permanent measures to repair or
replace damaged
dwellings and infrastructure and to set
the economy back on
course.
“build back better”
44.
45. RECOVERY
The restoration and improvement
where appropriate, of facilities,
livelihood and living conditions of
disaster-affected communities,
including efforts to reduce disaster risk
factors.
Applies “build back better” principle
46.
47. RESILIENCE
The ability of a system, community or society exposed to hazards to
resist, absorb, accommodate and recover from the effects of a
hazard in a timely and efficient manner, including through the
preservation and restoration of its essential basic structures
and functions.
No internationally
agreed definition
48.
49.
50. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
The concept and practice of reducing
disaster risks through systematic efforts to
analyze and manage the causal factors of
disasters, including through reduced
exposure to hazards, lessened vulnerability
of people and property, wise management
of land and the environment, and improved
preparedness for adverse events.
Sendai Framework for DRR
speaks of DRR as “reducing
existing risks”
51. DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT
The systematic process of using administrative
directives, organizations, and operational skills
and capacities to implement strategies, policies
and improved coping capacities in order to
lessen the adverse impacts of hazards and the
possibility of disaster.
DRM is DRR in ACTION
52.
53. Change in the
state of climate
over time due
to:
• human activity, either
directly or indirectly
*human activity, i.e. activities that release greenhouse gases; also known as anthropogenic
CLIMATE CHANGE
IPCC UNFCCC
Change in the
state of climate
over time due to:
• natural processes
• human activity
54. Greenhouse Gases
Gaseous constituents of the
atmosphere, both natural and
anthropogenic, that absorb and
emit radiation of thermal
infrared radiation emitted by the
Earth’s surface, the atmosphere
itself, and by clouds (IPCC).

DIOXIDE
NITROUS

56. IPCC 2007 CONCLUSION
“Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is
now evident from observations of increases in global
average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of
snow and ice, and rising global average sea level”
(WG 1, IPCC 4th Assessment Report)
57. Adaptation is adjustment in natural or
human systems in response to actual or
expected stimuli or their effects, which
moderates harm or exploits benefit
opportunities (IPCC).
Adjustments in ecological, social, or
economic systems in response to actual
or expected climatic stimuli and their
effects or impacts. It refers to changes in
processes, practices, and structures to
moderate potential damages or to benefit
from opportunities associated with climate
change (UNFCCC).
58. Mitigation (in Climate Change)
An anthropogenic intervention to reduce
the sources or enhance the sinks of
greenhouse gases (IPCC).
Human interventions to reduce the
emissions of greenhouse gases by sources
or enhance their removal from the
atmosphere by “sinks”. A “sink” refers to
forests, vegetation or soils that can
reabsorb CO2 (UNFCCC).
Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions

Editor's Notes
The adverse impacts of hazards, in particular natural hazards, often cannot be prevented fully, but their scale or severity can be substantially lessened by various strategies and actions. Mitigation measures include engineering techniques and hazard-resistant construction as well as improved environmental and social policies and public awareness.
For WMO, change in the state of climate for at least 30 years
Mitigation in DRRM is lessening the impacts of hazards; it is closer to the idea of adaptation in climate change. In climate change, mitigation is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
