The document focuses on disaster readiness and risk reduction, emphasizing the understanding of various hazards and appropriate response measures. It covers specific disasters that have affected the Philippines, such as Typhoon Yolanda, the Luzon earthquake, and the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the impacts and ongoing risks. The learning schedule and assessment methods for students are also detailed, alongside a classification of different natural and man-made hazards.

1. DISASTER READINESS AND
RISK REDUCTION

2. DISASTER
READINESS AND
RISK REDUCTION
This learning area is designed
to provide knowledge about
disaster readiness and risk
reduction by first
understanding the hazards
that may potentially lead to
disasters. Precautionary
measures and ideal responses
to prevent disasters for each
hazard type will be
comprehensively discuss.
Towards the end of the course,
students will focus on the
applications of what they have
learned to the community and
Philippine society.

11. TYPHOON YOLANDA
Click icon to add picture
Typhoon Yolanda, internationally
known as Haiyan, was one of the
strongest storms ever recorded,
with wind speeds of more than
300 kilometers per hour (km/h)
and storm surges of over four
meters.The typhoon made its
first landfall in the Philippines
on 8 November 2013 and
crossed the central part of the
country, severely affecting more
than 170 cities and
municipalities in 14 provinces
across six regions found within a
100-kilometer (km) storm track.
The typhoon caused widespread
flooding and landslides, which
brought about thousands of
deaths and unprecedented
damage to the affected areas.

12. THE GREAT LUZON EARTHQUAKE

The massive 7.7-magnitude
earthquake that struck Luzon
Island in the Philippines on July
16, 1990, wreaked havoc across a
sizeable portion of Luzon, the
country’s largest island, with
Baguio City suffering the most
devastating effects.The
epicenter of the quake, which
struck at 4:26 p.m., was north of
Manila in the Nueva Ecija
province. Reports indicate that
the shaking went on for nearly a
full minute. Collapsing buildings
were the main cause of damage
and death, although many
people were injured stampedes
of people fleeing multi-story
buildings.

13. MT. PINATUBO ERUPTION

The second-largest volcanic
eruption of this century, and by far
the largest eruption to affect a
densely populated area, occurred
at Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines
on June 15, 1991.The eruption
produced high-speed avalanches of
hot ash and gas, giant mudflows,
and a cloud of volcanic ash
hundreds of miles across.The
impacts of the eruption continue to
this day. Following Mount Pinatubo's
cataclysmic eruption, thousands of
roofs collapsed under the weight of
ash made wet by heavy rains. Ash
deposits from the eruption have
also been remobilized by monsoon
and typhoon rains to form giant
mudflows of volcanic materials
(lahars), which have caused more
destruction than the eruption itself.

14. OZONE DISCO
FIRE

The Ozone Disco fire in
Quezon City,
Philippines, broke out at
11:35 pm Philippine
Standard Time on March
18, 1996, leaving at least
162 people dead. It is
officially acknowledged
as the worst fire in
Philippine history, and
among the 10 worst
nightclub fires in the
world.

15. COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The COVID-19 pandemic, also
known as the coronavirus
pandemic, is an ongoing global
pandemic of
coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-
19) caused by
severe acute respiratory syndrome c
oronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2).The novel virus was
first identified from an outbreak in
the Chinese city of Wuhan in
December 2019, and attempts to
contain it there failed, allowing it to
spread across the globe.The
World Health Organization (WHO)
declared a
Public Health Emergency of Internati
onal Concern
on 30 January 2020 and a pandemic
on 11 March 2020. As of 7 January
2022, the pandemic had caused
more than 300 million cases and
5.47 million deaths, making it one of
the deadliest in history.

21. NATURAL HAZARDS
 Naturally-occurring physical phenomena caused
either by rapid or slow onset events which can
be geophysical (earthquakes, landslides,
tsunamis and volcanic activity), hydrological
(avalanches and floods), climatological (extreme
temperatures, drought and wildfires),
meteorological (cyclones and storms/wave
surges) or biological (disease epidemics and
insect/animal plagues).

22. NATURAL HAZARDS CAN BE…
BIOLOGICAL
• Process or phenomenon of organic origin or conveyed
by biological vectors/ agents, including exposure to
pathogenic microorganisms, toxins and bioactive
substances
• Examples of biological hazards include outbreaks of
epidemic diseases, plant or animal contagion, insect or
other animal plagues and infestations.

23. NATURAL HAZARDS CAN BE…
GEOLOGICAL
• Geological process or phenomenon
• Geological hazards include internal earth processes,
such as earthquakes, volcanic activity and emissions,
and related geophysical processes such as mass
movements, landslides, rockslides, surface collapses,
and debris or mudflows.

24. NATURAL HAZARDS CAN BE…
HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL
• Process or phenomenon of atmospheric, hydrological or
oceanographic nature
• Hydrometeorological hazards include tropical cyclones
(also known as typhoons and hurricanes),
thunderstorms, hailstorms, tornados, blizzards, heavy
snowfall, avalanches, coastal storm surges, floods
including flash floods, drought, heatwaves and cold
spells.

25. MAN-MADE AND TECHNOLOGICAL HAZARDS
 A hazard originating from technological or industrial
conditions, including accidents, dangerous
procedures, infrastructure failures, or specific human
activities
 Examples of technological hazards include industrial
pollution, nuclear radiation, toxic wastes, dam failures,
transport accidents, factory explosions, fires, and
chemical spills. Technological hazards also may arise
directly as a result of the impacts of a natural hazard
event

26. • This activity is meant for you
to think collaboratively on the
impacts of certain hazards
according to specific
locations.
• One or more than one
member of the group will
report their output next
meeting.
• Through pictures, show us
what can possibly happen to
the living and/or non-living
things caught in the given
situation. The assumption is
that they are unable to avoid
the situation.
