Key concepts in disaster risk reduction
Understanding how gender relations shape women’s and men’s lives is critical to disaster risk reduction (DRR). This is because women’s and men’s different roles, responsibilities, and access to resources influence how each will be affected by different hazards, and how they will cope with and recover from disaster. This presentation is part of part of Oxfam GB's Gender and Disaster Risk Reduction training pack available at www.oxfam.org.uk/genderdrrpack.

Exposure and Vulnerability
This document discusses exposure and vulnerability to natural disasters. It defines vulnerability as characteristics that make a community susceptible to hazards. Factors include demographics, socioeconomics, infrastructure, and preparedness. There are four types of vulnerability - physical, social, economic, and environmental. Exposure refers to elements at risk like people, buildings, and infrastructure. Risk is the product of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability. The Philippines faces high exposure and vulnerability due to its location, geology, poverty, and lack of disaster management capacity. It is frequently affected by typhoons, earthquakes, landslides, and volcanic eruptions.
Exposure and Vulnerability (DRRR)
The document discusses exposure and vulnerability to natural hazards. Exposure refers to people, assets, or resources that could be affected by hazards, while vulnerability is the susceptibility to harm from stresses. The Philippines has high exposure due to its location in the Pacific typhoon belt and geography of small islands and rugged terrain. It is also highly vulnerable due to poverty, weak institutions, reliance on agriculture/fishing, and other social and economic factors. Multiple sectors in the Philippines, such as agriculture, watersheds, coastal areas and human health, are vulnerable to climate change impacts.
Chapter 1 (disaster & disaster risk)
This document defines disasters and disaster risk, discussing natural disasters like geological, meteorological, and hydrological events as well as human-made disasters from accidents and incidents. It provides examples of different types of disasters and identifies risk factors like exposure, gender, age, location in developing countries, and lack of social support. The effects of natural disasters on human life are outlined as displaced populations, health risks, food scarcity, and emotional aftereffects like post-traumatic stress disorder. The document states that an event becomes a disaster when it is sudden or progressive, causing widespread human, material, or environmental impacts.
basic concept of hazard
The document discusses natural and man-made hazards. Natural hazards such as earthquakes, floods, and wildfires are caused by physical elements in the environment and are inevitable natural events. Man-made or technological hazards like bomb explosions and chemical spills are caused by human factors. The Philippines is prone to natural hazards like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and typhoons due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire and Philippine Fault Zone. Hazards can have various impacts on physical, socioeconomic, and environmental elements. Their impacts need to be assessed to reduce disaster risks.
DISASTER READINESS AND RISK REDUCTION MODULE 14.pptx
Disaster risk reduction (DRR) aims to reduce the risks and impacts of disasters through long-term planning, prevention, mitigation, adaptation, and preparedness. DRR strategies assess hazards, risks, vulnerabilities, and capacities to cope with disasters. Key principles are that development can increase or decrease disaster risk, and DRR policies and regulations can save lives if properly implemented. Elements of DRR include pre-event prevention, mitigation, and adaptation, as well as preparedness, and post-event response and recovery.
Understanding vulnerability to hazards and disasters
Vulnerability refers to the capacity of individuals and societies to prepare for, withstand, and recover from hazardous events. It is influenced by many economic, social, political, and environmental factors. The Pacific Ring of Fire is home to over 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes and is highly prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions due to its location along the boundaries of tectonic plates. Vulnerable groups include persons with disabilities, the elderly, children, and those with low socioeconomic status who have greater difficulty coping with disasters.
Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction Module 1
The document provides an introduction to disaster risk reduction and resilience (DRRR) for grade 11 students. It defines key terms like disaster, hazard, vulnerability, risk, and exposure.

Water footprint measures the consumption and contamination of freshwater resources.
Risk Assessment and Reduction
The document discusses various topics related to risk assessment and reduction. It notes that disaster losses have been increasing significantly in recent decades. Some key points made include: hazard x vulnerability = risk; risk is determined by the probability of an event and its consequences; vulnerability depends on factors like exposure, resilience, and coping capacity; and perceptions of risk can differ from actual measured risks.
Volcano hazards
1. The document discusses various volcano hazards such as lahars, ash fall, pyroclastic flows, ballistic projectiles, volcanic gases, and lava flows.
2. It also covers signs of an impending volcanic eruption, different types of volcanoes, and how to prepare before, during, and after an eruption using appropriate safety measures.
3. The document provides information on interpreting volcano hazard maps and understanding how they can help assess risk from future eruptions.
Disaster risk management
Disaster risk management involves identifying risks, analyzing their probability and potential consequences, and determining how to reduce risks. Risk is defined as the probability of harm from hazards like floods, earthquakes or fires. Managing risk requires understanding hazards, vulnerable community elements, capacity to build resilience, and developing preparedness, mitigation and recovery plans. Prioritizing risks by probability and consequence allows targeting resources at highest risks first.
Vulnerability to Disasters
The document discusses the concept of vulnerability analysis. It begins by outlining the components of risk such as magnitude, frequency, and duration of hazards. It then examines how vulnerability is socially constructed and influenced by economic, political, and cultural factors. Trends show disasters are increasing in number and cost. The document explores how vulnerability has changed from the 1950s to now due to factors like population growth, urbanization, and inequality. It provides definitions of vulnerability and discusses approaches to reducing vulnerability through community-focused, bottom-up methods. The conclusion suggests disaster risk reduction programs aim to be sustainable and integrated across all phases of the disaster cycle.

It defines disaster as any occurrence that causes damage, loss of life or deterioration of health on a large scale requiring an extraordinary response. A hazard is defined as a natural or human-made event that has the potential to cause disruption, while a disaster is the consequence of a hazard being realized. Vulnerability is described as characteristics of a community, system or asset that make it susceptible to harm from hazards. Risk is a function of threats exploiting vulnerabilities and is the probability that a hazard will damage assets or disrupt a community based on their nature and proximity. The document also categorizes different types of natural and human-made disasters and provides a
Basic Concept of Disaster and Disaster Risk.pptx
Disasters are tragic events that cause loss of life, property damage, and environmental harm. They can be natural, arising from hazards like earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes, or human-caused through events like technological accidents or terrorism. Disaster risk is expressed as the likelihood of losses from a future disaster and includes potential impacts on lives, health, livelihoods, and assets. Natural disasters particularly threaten populations in areas with intensive risks like earthquake or tsunami zones, while dispersed groups face extensive risks from repeated low-level hazards. Disasters have direct losses like damage, indirect economic impacts from business disruptions, and intangible costs through psychological trauma. They also cause social impacts like homelessness, health issues if
Community Based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM)
This document discusses community-based disaster risk management through local community groups. It defines key concepts, outlines the purpose and categories of community groups, and describes the typical group cycle.

It explains disasters as serious disruptions exceeding a community's ability to cope that are caused by natural or man-made events. Various terms are also defined, such as vulnerability, capacity, risk, and elements at risk. The disaster management cycle is depicted as involving disaster response/relief, rehabilitation, reconstruction, development, prevention, mitigation, and preparedness. Key differences are also summarized, such as between recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction, and between disaster management and disaster risk management.
Disaster management By vivek bhatt
India is vulnerable to both natural and human-induced disasters. Natural disasters that commonly occur in India include floods, cyclones, earthquakes, landslides, and droughts. These disasters can be categorized as slow-onset like droughts or rapid-onset like earthquakes. They cause widespread damage and disruption. India has developed systems for disaster management but remains at risk given factors like its large population, urbanization, and effects of climate change. The economically weak face greater vulnerabilities during disasters. After disasters, rehabilitation and reconstruction aim to restore affected communities while encouraging necessary adjustments. Various agencies in India are responsible for managing different types of disasters.
Disaster management concept
This document defines key concepts related to disaster management, including what constitutes a disaster and the factors that determine risk.

It also explains that disaster risk is the likelihood of losses from a disaster and includes direct losses to infrastructure as well as indirect economic and social impacts affecting housing, health, education, and the environment.
Disaster
A disaster is defined as a sudden event that exceeds a community's ability to cope using its own resources. Disasters can be natural or human-caused. Natural disasters include hazards like earthquakes, floods, droughts and cyclones that kill thousands and cause billions in damage annually. Human-caused or manmade disasters result from technological hazards, wars, and deliberate attacks. Developing countries are often more vulnerable to natural disasters due to factors like population growth, deforestation, and lack of disaster prevention planning. Effective disaster management includes preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery efforts to minimize risks and impacts and return communities to normalcy.
Disaster management
Disaster Management can be defined as the organization and management of resources and responsibilities for dealing with all humanitarian aspects of emergencies, in particular preparedness, response and recovery in order to lessen the impact of disasters

Vulnerability is determined by a combination of physical, social, economic, and environmental factors that influence a community's ability to prepare for and respond to disasters. Physically vulnerable groups include the poor, elderly, women, and children, as they often have less resources to withstand hazards. Socially, less educated groups and those with weaker community ties are more vulnerable. Certain key infrastructure, coastal and agricultural areas, and human health are also vulnerable sectors affected by climate change and disasters. Reducing vulnerability requires policies and programs that address factors like poverty, education, governance, technology, and social inclusion.

Disaster management involves preparing for, responding to, and recovering from disasters. It includes emergency response and relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction, mitigation, and preparedness. Mitigation refers to efforts to reduce disaster risks and impacts, and can include both structural measures like building flood defenses, and non-structural measures like educating the public. Different hazards require different mitigation strategies tailored to the specific risks. Floods, cyclones, earthquakes, landslides, and droughts are some of the major hazards addressed, along with examples of both structural and non-structural mitigation approaches for each.
Disaster relief
The document discusses different types of disasters including natural disasters like earthquakes, floods and hurricanes, environmental emergencies caused by industrial accidents, complex emergencies from conflict situations, and pandemic emergencies from disease outbreaks. It also covers different phases of disaster management such as prevention, preparedness, response, relief and recovery. Several examples of major disasters from across the world that caused large loss of life are provided such as the 2010 Haiti earthquake, 2008 Sichuan earthquake in China, and the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
DISASTER READINESS AND RISK REDUCTION
The document defines disaster as a serious disruption that exceeds a community's ability to cope using its own resources. It causes widespread harm to life and property through destruction and devastation. A disaster disrupts normal life, causing physical and emotional distress like helplessness. Disasters affect life, property, and can be natural or human-made. They can be viewed from physical, psychological, economic, sociocultural, environmental, and political perspectives based on the damage and impacts caused.
DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
This document discusses disaster mitigation and preparedness. It defines what constitutes a disaster, noting that disasters overwhelm existing resources and cause casualties or damage. India is particularly vulnerable to both natural and man-made disasters due to its unique geography and climate. Disasters can be categorized as sudden onset like earthquakes or floods, slow onset like droughts or famines, or man-made like industrial accidents. Disasters progress through relief, rehabilitation, reconstruction, and mitigation phases for rapid onset events or early warning, emergency relief, and rehabilitation phases for slow onset events. Risk assessment is important for effective disaster management.
Disaster management
The document discusses various types of natural disasters commonly occurring in India such as floods, earthquakes, cyclones, and landslides. It describes the causes and effects of these disasters and highlights various structural and non-structural mitigation measures that can help reduce their impacts, such as early warning systems, disaster preparedness training, land use planning, and hazard-resistant infrastructure development. The document emphasizes that while not all natural disasters can be prevented, taking proactive mitigation actions can considerably reduce loss of life and property.
