DEFINITION OF TERMS
HAZARD
• Is a dangerous phenomenon, substance, human activity or
condition that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts,
property damage, loss of livelihood & services, social & economic
disruption or environmental damage...
• Could be a potentially damaging phenomenon
• It could be natural or human-induced.

4
EXPOSURE
• The degree to which the element at risk are likely to experience
hazard events of different magnitude.

5
VULNERABILITY
• Is the characteristics and circumstances of a community,
system or asset that make it susceptible to the damaging effects of a
hazard.
• This may arise from
environmental factors.

CAPACITY

• Is the combination of all strengths and resources available within the
community, society or organization that can reduce the level of risk
or effects of a disaster.

RISK
• Is the combination of Probability of an event to happen and its
negative consequences...

HAZARD x VULNERABILITY (exposure)

CAPACITY
DISASTER
• A disaster is a natural or man-made (or technological) hazard
resulting in an event of substantial extent causing significant
physical damage or destruction, loss of life, or drastic change to the
environment. A disaster can be ostensively defined as any tragic
event stemming from events such as earthquakes, floods,
catastrophic accidents, fires, or explosions. It is a phenomenon that
can cause damage to life and property and destroy the economic,
social and cultural life of people.
• In contemporary academia, disasters are seen as the consequence
of inappropriately managed risk. These risks are the product of a
combination of both hazard/s and vulnerability. Hazards that strike in
areas with low vulnerability will never become disasters, as is the
case in uninhabited regions.

CLASSIFICATIONS
Natural Disaster
 A natural disaster is a consequence when a natural hazard affects
humans and/or the built environment. Human vulnerability, and lack
of appropriate emergency management, leads to financial,
environmental, or human impact. The resulting loss depends on the
capacity of the population to support or resist the disaster: their
resilience. This understanding is concentrated in the formulation:
"disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability". A natural hazard
will hence never result in a natural disaster in areas without
vulnerability.

CLASSIFICATIONS
Man-made or Human Induced Disaster
 Man-made disasters are the consequence of technological or
human hazards. Examples include stampedes, fires, transport
accidents,
industrial
accidents,
oil
spills
and
nuclear
explosions/radiation. War and deliberate attacks may also be put in
this category. As with natural hazards, man-made hazards are
events that have not happened, for instance terrorism. Man-made
disasters are examples of specific cases where man-made hazards
have become reality in an event

WHEN IS AN EVENT A DISASTER?
1. At least 20% of the population are affected & in need of
emergency assistance or those dwelling units have been
destroyed.

2. A great number or at least 40% of the means of livelihood such
as bancas, fishing boats, vehicles and the like are destroyed.

DISASTER

3. Major roads and bridges are destroyed and impassable for at
least a week, thus disrupting the flow of transport and commerce.

HISTORICAL SEISMICITY
The PHIVOLCS earthquake and catalogue seismicity maps shows
so far, seven (7) historically and instrumentally recorded destructive
earthquakes (Intensity VII-IX in the adapted Rossi-Forel scale) have
affected Baguio City for the past 356 years (1645-2001). This
roughly translate into a return period of at least one destructive
earthquake (Intensity VII to IX) for every 50 years. In addition, there
were four very destructive earthquakes during the 356-year period
for a return period of at least one very destructive earthquake
(Intensity VIII to IX) for every 89 years. In comparison, regional
probabilistic seismic hazard calculations by Thenhaus (1994)
yielded annual probability rates of Ms:
• 6.4 to <7.0 (1 in 23 years)
• 7.0 to <7.3 (1 in 62 years)
• Ms <8.2 (1 in 166 years)

THE PHILIPPINE DRRM SYSTEM
THE PHILIPPINE DRRM SYSTEM

DRRM

 Disaster legislation in the Philippines dates back in 1978, primarily
reactive approach to disasters, focusing heavily on preparedness
and response. Other relevant legislation for mainstreaming of
disaster risk reduction into development includes land-use controls
and building codes. However, building codes are not strictly
enforced and zoning ordinances which are reported to have been
relaxed over time.

73

 With the approval of the DRRM (Republic Act
No. 10121) expect that there would be a
paradigm shift
emphasizing disaster
management to a disaster risk management
approach, with much greater importance given
to reducing risk. The RA was approved on 27
May 2010, and the Implementing Rules and
Regulations was crafted by the Task Force RA
10121 headed by the OCD.
…Continued

RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT
 Systematic process of using administrative decisions,
organization, operational skills and capacities to implement
policies, strategies and coping capacities of the society and
communities
 Setting of related goals and objectives in development and land use
areas.

DRRM

 It involves the formulation of strategies and Plans, Programs and
Activities (PPAs)

74

WHAT MUST BE DONE TO REDUCE RISK
 Institutionalize Local Disaster Risk Reduction & Management Office

 Establish Early Warning System
 Formulation of Communication Protocol
 Formulation of Evacuation Procedures at the community level and
establishments
 Organize Local DRRMC and define the functional roles and
responsibilities of the members and task units

DRRM

 Establish Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)

WHAT MUST BE DONE TO REDUCE RISK
 Integrate disaster risk reduction into the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan (CLUP) and land use planning
 Integrate hazard, risk and vulnerability assessment into the
development plan
 Cluster Approach on Recovery Program
 Good working relationship with Warning Agencies and the Local
Media

DRRM

 Installation of rain gauges on mountain slopes

76

(DENR-MGB CAR recommended that 150 mm of rainfall observed
within 24 hours would already trigger evacuation of communities in
high risk areas)
…Continued

WHAT MUST BE DONE TO REDUCE RISK
 Strengthening of the LGU capabilities on disaster management;

 Updating the hazard profile of all municipalities and to analyse data
on human induced disasters for public safety studies

 Effective flow of communication system to ensure that accurate flow
of information before, during and after disasters

WHAT MUST BE DONE TO REDUCE RISK
…Continued

RISK REDUCTION METHOD
In the following order
1. Identify, characterize, and assess threats
2. Assess the vulnerability of critical assets to specific threats
3. Determine the risk (i.e. the expected consequences of specific
types of attacks on specific assets)
4. Identify ways to reduce those risks

DRRM

5. Prioritize risk reduction measures based on a strategy

79
…Continued

POTENTIAL RISK TREATMENTS
Once risks have been identified and assessed, all techniques to
manage the risk fall into one or more of these four major categories:

DRRM






80

Avoidance (eliminate, withdraw from the risk area)
Reduction (optimize resources to mitigate effects )
Sharing (risk transfer or enrol in insurance)
Retention (accept, plan - formulate ConPlan, Evac Plan, ICS and
provision of budget)
…Continued

DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
 A comprehensive disaster risk management strategy, actively
involving stakeholders at all levels of government as well as the
private sector, local communities and civil society, is required to
implement the legislative framework and to provide coordination and
monitoring mechanisms and arrangements.

DRRM

 Individual disaster risk reduction actions and programs need to be
located within this strategy, rather than treated as discrete, individual
measures. Moreover, the strategy needs to indicate specific entry
points and mechanisms for mainstreaming disaster risk reduction
concerns into both the broader development agenda and the design
and implementation of individual development initiatives.

81
DRRM

…Continued
82

DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
 Individual line agencies and local governments are legally
responsible for implementing disaster management, as it is still
commonly referred to in department circulars and executive orders,
within their own areas of responsibility. In practice, some LGUs have
yet to even establish their disaster coordinating councils (DCCs),
while those DCCs that have been established vary in quality. In
addition, reflecting Presidential Decree (PD) 1566’s reactive
approach to DCC meetings are commonly held only on an ad hoc
basis, in response to crisis situations, rather than on a more regular
basis to discuss ongoing risk reduction initiatives, and DCCs’ risk
reduction and mainstreaming capacity and capabilities are often
very limited.

impacts of a disasterā€.
 The state of readiness for PDRRMC, MDRRMC and CDRRMC is

    DISASTER • A disasteris a natural or man-made (or technological) hazard resulting in an event of substantial extent causing significant physical damage or destruction, loss of life, or drastic change to the environment. A disaster can be ostensively defined as any tragic event stemming from events such as earthquakes, floods, catastrophic accidents, fires, or explosions. It is a phenomenon that can cause damage to life and property and destroy the economic, social and cultural life of people. • In contemporary academia, disasters are seen as the consequence of inappropriately managed risk. These risks are the product of a combination of both hazard/s and vulnerability. Hazards that strike in areas with low vulnerability will never become disasters, as is the case in uninhabited regions. 11
  • 12.
    DISASTER …Continued 12 CLASSIFICATIONS Natural Disaster  Anatural disaster is a consequence when a natural hazard affects humans and/or the built environment. Human vulnerability, and lack of appropriate emergency management, leads to financial, environmental, or human impact. The resulting loss depends on the capacity of the population to support or resist the disaster: their resilience. This understanding is concentrated in the formulation: "disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability". A natural hazard will hence never result in a natural disaster in areas without vulnerability.
  • 13.
    DISASTER …Continued 13 CLASSIFICATIONS Man-made or HumanInduced Disaster  Man-made disasters are the consequence of technological or human hazards. Examples include stampedes, fires, transport accidents, industrial accidents, oil spills and nuclear explosions/radiation. War and deliberate attacks may also be put in this category. As with natural hazards, man-made hazards are events that have not happened, for instance terrorism. Man-made disasters are examples of specific cases where man-made hazards have become reality in an event

This roughly translate into a return period of at least one destructive earthquake (Intensity VII to IX) for every 50 years. In addition, there were four very destructive earthquakes during the 356-year period for a return period of at least one very destructive earthquake (Intensity VIII to IX) for every 89 years. In comparison, regional probabilistic seismic hazard calculations by Thenhaus (1994) yielded annual probability rates of Ms: • 6.4 to <7.0 (1 in 23 years) • 7.0 to <7.3 (1 in 62 years) • Ms <8.2 (1 in 166 years)

    THE PHILIPPINE DRRMSYSTEM DRRM  Disaster legislation in the Philippines dates back in 1978, primarily reactive approach to disasters, focusing heavily on preparedness and response. Other relevant legislation for mainstreaming of disaster risk reduction into development includes land-use controls and building codes. However, building codes are not strictly enforced and zoning ordinances which are reported to have been relaxed over time. 73  With the approval of the DRRM (Republic Act No. 10121) expect that there would be a paradigm shift emphasizing disaster management to a disaster risk management approach, with much greater importance given to reducing risk. The RA was approved on 27 May 2010, and the Implementing Rules and Regulations was crafted by the Task Force RA 10121 headed by the OCD.

Prioritize risk reduction measures based on a strategy 79
  • 80.
    …Continued POTENTIAL RISK TREATMENTS Oncerisks have been identified and assessed, all techniques to manage the risk fall into one or more of these four major categories: DRRM     80 Avoidance (eliminate, withdraw from the risk area) Reduction (optimize resources to mitigate effects ) Sharing (risk transfer or enrol in insurance) Retention (accept, plan - formulate ConPlan, Evac Plan, ICS and provision of budget)
  • 81.
    …Continued DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENTSTRATEGY  A comprehensive disaster risk management strategy, actively involving stakeholders at all levels of government as well as the private sector, local communities and civil society, is required to implement the legislative framework and to provide coordination and monitoring mechanisms and arrangements. DRRM  Individual disaster risk reduction actions and programs need to be located within this strategy, rather than treated as discrete, individual measures. Moreover, the strategy needs to indicate specific entry points and mechanisms for mainstreaming disaster risk reduction concerns into both the broader development agenda and the design and implementation of individual development initiatives. 81
  • 82.
    DRRM …Continued 82 DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENTSTRATEGY  Individual line agencies and local governments are legally responsible for implementing disaster management, as it is still commonly referred to in department circulars and executive orders, within their own areas of responsibility. In practice, some LGUs have yet to even establish their disaster coordinating councils (DCCs), while those DCCs that have been established vary in quality. In addition, reflecting Presidential Decree (PD) 1566’s reactive approach to DCC meetings are commonly held only on an ad hoc basis, in response to crisis situations, rather than on a more regular basis to discuss ongoing risk reduction initiatives, and DCCs’ risk reduction and mainstreaming capacity and capabilities are often very limited.

Editor's Notes

  • #8Ā In parallel to this shift in disaster management, the health sector is recognizing that better health within a community cannot be achieved through the provision of health care alone. The health sector is looking to models of population health and health promotion to address the determinants of health just as disaster management has evolved from treating the harmful agent to strengthening the community’s resilience to harm.
  • #25Ā Tropical Storm ā€œOndoyā€ {Ketsana} was quickly followed by Super Typhoon ā€œPepengā€ {Parma} (affected Northern Luzon October 2 – 10, 2009).
  • #28Ā Super Typhoon ā€œPepengā€ {Parma}affected Northern Luzon October 2 – 10, 2009.
  • #44Ā Based your presentation with your observation and experiences from previous disasters Demand driven vs. donors driven means relief or assistance extended by fit the requirements of the victims and not according to the desire of the donor
  • #71Ā Preparedness cycle helps in the development/improvement of a plan.The advantage of continuous training or the execution of the preparation cycle is that it becomes part of their (the participants) routine and reflex.
  • #72Ā 72-Hour Survival Kit depends on the needs of a family or an individualThe kit is should be good for 72-hours (3 days) or longerNote the word ā€œneedsā€ and not wants
  • #75Ā DRR is a systematic approach and application of policies, strategies and practices to minimize vulnerabilities and disasters in the community-To avoid (prevent) or limit (mitigate and prepare) the adverse impacts of hazards -DRR policies 2 fold aims: to be resilient to natural hazards while ensuring that development efforts do not increase vulnerability to these hazards
  • #76Ā Institutionalize Local Disaster Risk Reduction &amp; Management Office. The establishment of this independent body or office to ensure continuity of the programs on disaster management and strengthened the effective coordination of the various institutions for more efficient management. Likewise, the office will serve as a venue for disaster management seminars and trainings, and conduct of drills and exercise due to the availability of facilities and resources and competent staff.
  • #77Ā 90% of the Cordillera consists of mountain slopes, the steeper the slope it is more vulnerable to mass movement DENR-MGB CAR has recommended that 150 mm of rainfall observed within 24 hours would already trigger evacuation of communities in high risk areas)The Oct 2009 incident will serve as the bench mark for the susceptibility of the region from massive slides.Baguio City received an average 17 mm normal rainfall everyday if the span of 24 hours 685 mm of rainfall will already trigger slides
  • #81Ā Risk avoidanceThis includes not performing an activity that could carry risk. An example would be not buying a property or business in order to not take on the Legal liability that comes with it. Another would be not be flying in order to not take the risk that the airplane were to be hijacked. Avoidance may seem the answer to all risks, but avoiding risks also means losing out on the potential gain that accepting (retaining) the risk may have allowed. Not entering a business to avoid the risk of loss also avoids the possibility of earning profits. Hazard PreventionHazard prevention refers to the prevention of risks in an emergency. The first and most effective stage of hazard prevention is the elimination of hazards. If this takes too long, is too costly, or is otherwise impractical, the second stage is mitigation.Risk reductionRisk reduction or &quot;optimization&quot; involves reducing the severity of the loss or the likelihood of the loss from occurring. For example, sprinklers are designed to put out a fire to reduce the risk of loss by fire. This method may cause a greater loss by water damage and therefore may not be suitable. Holon fire suppression systems may mitigate that risk, but the cost may be prohibitive as a strategy.Acknowledging that risks can be positive or negative, optimizing risks means finding a balance between negative risk and the benefit of the operation or activity; and between risk reduction and effort applied. By an offshore drilling contractor effectively applying HSE Management in its organization, it can optimize risk to achieve levels of residual risk that are tolerable.Ā  Modern software development methodologies reduce risk by developing and delivering software incrementally. Early methodologies suffered from the fact that they only delivered software in the final phase of development; any problems encountered in earlier phases meant costly rework and often jeopardized the whole project. Ā Outsourcing could be an example of risk reduction if the outsourcer can demonstrate higher capability at managing or reducing risks. For example, a company may outsource only its software development, the manufacturing of hard goods, or customer support needs to another company, while handling the business management itself. This way, the company can concentrate more on business development without having to worry as much about the manufacturing process, managing the development team, or finding a physical location for a call center.Risk sharingBriefly defined as &quot;sharing with another party the burden of loss or the benefit of gain, from a risk, and the measures to reduce a risk.&quot;The term of &apos;risk transfer&apos; is often used in place of risk sharing in the mistaken belief that you can transfer a risk to a third party through insurance or outsourcing. In practice if the insurance company or contractor go bankrupt or end up in court, the original risk is likely to still revert to the first party. As such in the terminology of practitioners and scholars alike, the purchase of an insurance contract is often described as a &quot;transfer of risk.&quot; However, technically speaking, the buyer of the contract generally retains legal responsibility for the losses &quot;transferred&quot;, meaning that insurance may be described more accurately as a post-event compensatory mechanism. For example, a personal injuries insurance policy does not transfer the risk of a car accident to the insurance company. The risk still lies with the policy holder namely the person who has been in the accident. The insurance policy simply provides that if an accident (the event) occurs involving the policy holder then some compensation may be payable to the policy holder that is commensurate to the suffering/damage.Some ways of managing risk fall into multiple categories. Risk retention pools are technically retaining the risk for the group, but spreading it over the whole group involves transfer among individual members of the group. This is different from traditional insurance, in that no premium is exchanged between members of the group up front, but instead losses are assessed to all members of the group. Risk retentionInvolves accepting the loss, or benefit of gain, from a risk when it occurs. True self insurance falls in this category. Risk retention is a viable strategy for small risks where the cost of insuring against the risk would be greater over time than the total losses sustained. All risks that are not avoided or transferred are retained by default. This includes risks that are so large or catastrophic that they either cannot be insured against or the premiums would be infeasible. War is an example since most property and risks are not insured against war, so the loss attributed by war is retained by the insured. Also any amount of potential loss (risk) over the amount insured is retained risk. This may also be acceptable if the chance of a very large loss is small or if the cost to insure for greater coverage amounts is so great it would hinder the goals of the organization too much.
