2. What are we dealing with?
Natural and Man-made Disasters
STORM
STORM SURGE
FLOOD
EARTHQUAKE
FIRE
 Thousands of evacuees who are
mostly MINORS.

3. What is a Disaster?
 sudden event, such as an accident or a
natural catastrophe, that causes great
damage or loss of life.

4. PHILIPPINE HAZARDSCAPE
Earthquake Tsunami Volcanic eruption
Typhoon Storm surge Flood Landslide
The Philippines is prone to many natural
hazards.

5. STORM
A storm is a disturbance in the
atmosphere, or air. Thunderstorms,
tornadoes, and tropical cyclones are
powerful and sometimes dangerous
types of storms. People also use
the word storm to describe strong
winds or other forms of severe
weather.

6. A typhoon differs from a cyclone
or hurricane only on the basis of
location. A hurricane is
a storm that occurs in
the Atlantic Ocean and
northeastern Pacific Ocean, a
typhoon occurs in the
northwestern Pacific Ocean, and
a cyclone occurs in the south
Pacific or Indian Ocean.

7. TYPHOON
Definition of TYPHOON
1:a storm occurring
especially in the region of
the Philippines or the China
sea.

8. Most Recent Super Typhoon:
“Hato” in Hong Kong

14. What is a Storm Surge?
a rising of the sea as a result
of atmospheric pressure
changes and wind associated
with a storm.
an abnormal rise in the level
of the sea along a coast
caused by the onshore winds
of a severe cyclone or storm.

16. The Risk of Earthquake, Volcanic
Eruptions, Tsunami in the
Philippines
• The Philippines is situated along a highly
seismic area lying along the Pacific Ring of Fire
• Risk report published by United Nations
University and the Institute of Environment and
Human Security, looking into 4 components of
risk (exposure, susceptibility, coping and
adaptive capacities, PHILIPPINES IS THE
THIRD MOST DISASTER RISK COUNTRY
WORLDWIDE
•(NDRRMP 2011-2018)

17. Pacific Ring of Fire
 The Pacific Ring of Fire has more
exploding volcanoes and great
earthquakes than any other place
on Earth. This 25,000 mile ribbon
of land and water is home to 75% of
the world's active and dormant
volcanoes. Earthquakes are
common in the Ring of Fire where
80% of the great earthquakes on
our planet occur.

19. Earthquake
An Earthquake is a sudden
tremor or movement of the
earth's crust, which
originates naturally at or
below the surface. Usually
caused by tectonic or volcanic
activity.

METRO MANILA AND VICINITY

24. Valley Fault System

28. Dashed line: Fault trace is approximate
Fault whose precise location on the ground cannot be delineated
because erosion, human activity, etc. have erased their traces.
Dotted line: Fault trace is concealed
Fault trace is concealed on the ground by
recent sediment deposits. Usually across
rivers and river deposits, landslide deposits.

30.  The West Valley Fault has the potential of
generating a devastating magnitude 7.2
earthquake in Metro Manila and nearby
provinces.
 Phivolcs director Renato Solidum warned the
West Valley Fault, which traverses parts of Metro
Manila and adjoining provinces of Bulacan,
Laguna, Rizal and Cavite, is ripe for a possible
strong earthquake.
 Solidum said “It can happen within our lifetime,”.
 He also said that the West Valley Fault moves
every 400 to 600 years. The last time it moved, he
said, was in 1658 or 359 years ago.

Energy released
during earthquake.
INTENSITY
Effect or felt strength at the surface
STRENGTH OF EARTHQUAKE:
