10. The Philippines is the third among the
countries most frequently hit by
natural disasters until now, competing
closely with China, Japan and India.
11. DISASTER SITUATION IN THE
COUNTRY
• Average of 20 typhoons ravages the Philippines yearly
• It lies within the Pacific Ring of Fire where 80% of world’s
earthquake occur.
• 22 of the country’s 220 volcanoes scattered all over the
archipelago is active.
• El Nino induces long dry spell in many parts of the country.
• Climate change is evidently affecting the country all year round
• The poverty situation of majority of the Filipinos restricts
their capacity to cope with these hazards, and more so,
to recover rapidly from damages brought by disasters
12. 1. Kahulugan ng “Disaster”
DISASTER
(SAKUNA O
DELUBYO)
Ang DISASTER ay mga DI- PANGKARANIWANG
PANGYAYARI sa ating buhay na resulta ng isang
sakuna o panganib gaya ng matinding bagyo,
lindol ,malawakang sunog at iba pa, kung saan
ang mga tao sa komunidad at ang kanilang
kakayahan ay HINDI na sapat para tugunan ang
problemang pangkabuuan.
13. A DISASTER is any event that causes a level of
destruction, death, or injury that affects the
abilities of the community to respond to the
incident using available resources.
A disaster event, depending on the
characteristics of the disaster, maybe beyond
the ability of the community to respond and
recover from the incident using their own
resources.

23. Types of Disaster Victims:
1. DIRECT
2. INDIRECT
3. DISPLACED ( Can be called Evacuees or
Refugees)
26. Principles of Disaster Planning
1. Plan should be proactive and realistic
2. Measures usually taken are not sufficient for major disasters
3. Plans should be adjusted to people’s need
4. Planning does not STOP with the development of written plan
5. Lack of information causes inappropriate responses of the
community
6. People should be able to respond with or without direction
7. Plan should coordinate efforts of the entire community or
stakeholders
8. Plans should be linked to surrounding areas
9. Plans should be general enough to cover all potential disaster events
10. Plans should be based on everyday work methods and procedures
11. Plans should specify a person’s responsibility for implementing
segments by position or title rather than by name
27. 12. Plan should develop a record keeping system before a
disaster occurs, regarding:
∙ Supplies and equipment
∙ Records of all people within the institution at any given time (
to account for anyone missing
∙ Identification of victims and deceased, conditions and
treatment documented, and to which facility victims are sent
13. Back up plans need to be in place for the following:
∙ Disruption of telephone and cell phone lines
∙ Disruption of computer data ( should be downloaded weekly
and stored off site)
∙ Protecting essential public health functions ( e.g. vital records
and communicable disease data)
28. Characteristics of a disaster:
There are several significant characteristics
used to explain and describe different types of
disasters. These characteristics are
interdependent and interconnected. One
cannot completely describe a disaster
phenomenon without identifying other
underlying characteristics and these are all
important in creating, planning and managing
disaster event.
29. 1. FREQUENCY: This refers to how often a
disaster occurs. Some disasters occur relatively
often in certain parts of the world. . Tropical
cyclones / storms, which occur with variable
frequency between months of June and
November. However, because of climate change,
the occurrence of typhoons has become more
variable than in previous years. Earthquakes
occur periodically throughout the world. Our
country runs along the so called “Ring of Fire’,
which encircles the Pacific Ocean and volcanic
eruptions (World Atlas, 2012).
30. 2. PREDICTABILITY: This relates to the ability to
tell when and if a disaster, such as floods, may be
predicted based on the expected volume of rainfall,
sometimes in conjunction with tide changes. Weather
forecaster can predict when conditions are right for
the development of typhoons and with the monsoon
rains. Usually between June and November, but
climate change has made their occurrence more
variable (Summerlin, 2012). Because of advancement
in technology, weather forecasters can predict
hurricanes with increasing accuracy but other
disasters like fires and industrial explosions may not
be predictable at all
31. 3. PREVENTABILITY: This is a characteristic
indicating that actions can be taken to avoid a disaster.
Some disasters (e.g., typhoons and earthquakes) are not
preventable,
whereas others can be easily controlled if not prevented
entirely. For example, flooding can be controlled or
prevented through proper refuse disposal, maintenance
of waterways, control of indiscriminate logging, and
construction of infrastructure for flood control.
32. 4. IMMINENCE: This refers to the speed of onset of an
impending disaster and relates to the extent of
forewarning possible and the anticipated duration of
the incident.
Weather forecasters can tell when a weather
disturbance may be developing days ahead of its
expected arrival and can give the approximate time of
arrival, the general direction it will take, and the
location for its landing and forward movement.
Weather disturbances like typhoons, however are
subject to other weather variables and can change
direction and intensity several times before actual
landfall.
33. 5. SCOPE AND NUMBER OF CASUALTIES: The
scope of a disaster indicates the range of its effect.
The scope is described in terms of the geographic area
involved and in terms of the number of individuals
affected, injured or killed. From a health care
perspective, the location, type, and timing of a disaster
event are predictors of the types of injuries and
illnesses that might occur. For example, several factors
brought about contrasting effects of TS Ondoy in 2009
and TS Sendong in 2011
34. 6. INTENSITY: This refers to the characteristic
describing the level of destruction and
devastation of the disaster event. Tropical
cyclones that affect the country are categorized
according to intensity in terms of wind speed
near the center of the cyclone.
