The concepts/ terminology of hazard,
hazard event, secondary hazards,
multiple hazards and disaster
Hazards
• Hazards can include latent conditions that may represent future threats. They
can be natural in origin (geological, hydro-meteorological and biological) and/or
induced by human processes (environmental degradation and technological
hazards).
• Hazards can be single, sequential or combined in their origin and effects.
• Each hazard is characterized by its location, intensity, magnitude, area of extent
and probability.
Hazard is an event or occurrence that has
the potential for causing injuries to life and
damaging property and the environment.
A natural hazard refers to the probability
of occurrence in a specific time period
and geographic area of a potentially
damaging phenomenon.
There is a potential for the
occurrence of a disaster
event
Visualizing a Hazard
Elements at Risk
• People - death, injury, disease and stress
• Human activity – economic, educational etc.
• Property - property damage, economic loss of
• Environment - loss fauna and flora, pollution, loss of amenities.
A Hazard is a threat. A future source of danger. It has the potential
to cause harm to (element at risk):
Persons, buildings, crops or other such like societal components exposed to known
hazard, which are likely to be adversely affected by the impact of the hazard.

Visualizing Disaster
An event, either man‐made or natural, sudden or progressive, causing
widespread human, material or environmental losses
Natural Disaster vs Natural Phenomenon
• A natural disaster is the consequence of the combination of a
natural hazard (a physical event e.g. volcanic eruption,
earthquake, landslide) and human activities.
• A natural phenomena is the occurring of such kind of natural
processes within given magnitude which is not harmful to human
activities
A cyclone that surges over the ocean or an uninhabited
island does not result in a disaster.
However, it would be a disaster
if it hit the populated coast and
caused extensive loss of lives
and property.

Classify and describe types of hazards,
explain hazard characteristics such as
magnitude, frequency, intensity and rate
of onset and their importance
Type of Hazards
1. Natural hazards such as earthquakes
or floods arise from purely natural
processes in the environment.
2. Quasi-natural hazards such as smog or
desertification arise through the
interaction of natural processes and
human activities.
3. Technological (or man-made) hazards
such as the toxicity of pesticides to
fauna, accidental release of chemicals
or radiation from a nuclear plant.
These arise directly as a result of
human activities.
Type of Hazards

SECONDARY HAZARD: LAHAR
Anis Efizudin, VivaNews.com, 9 Desember 2010
Lahar is Javanese term to explain a rapidly flowing,
high-concentration, poorly sorted sediment-laden
mixtures of rock debris and water from a volcano.

• Ultraplinian eruption
• Samalas volcano in Lombok
is a solid source candidate
for one the biggest volcanic
eruption of the Holocene,
AD 1257;
• Greater magnitude than
the nearby Tambora;
• Drastic local effects in
Indonesia:
• Total destruction of the
Pamatan Kingdom
• in Lombok (this ancient city
probably lies buried
beneath tephra deposits);
• No sovereign in Bali for 64
years since AD 1260 for an
unknown reason.
ULTRAPLINIAN ERUPTION OF SAMALAS (1257 AD)
• Large volume of aerosols into the atmosphere for at
least two years (two dark lunar eclipses observed in
Europe in May and November 1258)
• Climate disturbance in the continental northern
hemisphere in 1258: winter warming, widespread
summer cooling (a “year without a summer »
revealed by written sources and tree-ring data) =>
bad harvests that may have led to local disasters.
 Global impacts of the AD 1257 ultraplinian Samalas eruption
Archaeologists
recently determined
a date of AD 1258
for mass burial of
thousands of
medieval skeletons
in London, which
can thus be linked to
the global impacts
of the AD 1257
Samalas eruption.
Perturbation of Aerial Transportation
Ex.: Galunggung, 1982
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We
have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are
doing our damnedest to get them under control. I trust you
are not in too much distress”
Boeing 747 du vol 9 British Airways, 263 passagers
After the four reactors were shut down, the aircraft continued its flight for 16
minutes, losing 7500 meters from its initial altitude of 11,500 meters.
Example: Earthquake as a primary hazard
• Building collapse
• Dam failure
• Fire
• Hazardous material spill
• Interruption of power/ water supply/ communication/
transportation/ waste disposal
• Landslide
• Soil liquefaction
• Tsunami (tidal wave)
• Water pollution
SecondaryHazards
Hazard identification, hazard assessment and
hazard mapping
Natural Hazards Analysis
The identification, study and
monitoring of any hazard to
determine its potential, origin,
characteristics and behavior.
Identification Mapping
Assessment Monitoring Forecasting
Questions related to Hazards identification and
mapping
1. What kind of hazards that potentially threatening the area you live in ?
2. Could this hazard affect the area you live in?
3. Is this hazard a significant threat there?
4. How often does it pose a threat? E.g. Once every 5 years? 10 years?
5. What is a close estimate of the population size that could be affected by this hazard event? Give a
rating. Very high? High? Medium? Low?
6. What is the expected duration of the hazard?
7. What is the expected damage from the hazard event? Give a rating. Very high? High? Medium? Low?
8. What is the expected intensity of impact expected? Give a rating. Very high? High? Medium? Low?
9. How predictable is the threat?
10.Can the effect of the event be reduced?
Hazards Assessment / Zoning
Hazard zoning – The subdivision of the area in zones that are
characterized by the probability of occurrence of natural hazards of a
particular size/magnitude, area, volume, within a given period of
time.
Hazard Assessment is the process of estimating, for defined areas, the
probabilities of the occurrence of potentially-damaging phenomenon of
given magnitude within a specified period of time. UNDRO

Hazards monitoring and forecasting
• Hazards are dynamic processes, they can be different from one year
to another, therefore hazards map should be updated in order to
adjust to the environmental dynamic/ change.
• Series of phenomena have to be monitored in order to determine the
pattern, therefore the future threat can be forecasted.

Editor's Notes

  • #8 Between 1998 and 2017 climate-related and geophysical disasters killed 1.3 million people and left a further 4.4 billion injured
  • #18 Environmental events become hazards once they threaten to affect society and/or the environment adversely. A physical event, such as a volcanic eruption, that does not affect human beings is a natural phenomenon but not a natural hazard. A natural phenomenon that occurs in a populated area is a hazardous event. A hazardous event that causes unacceptably large numbers of fatalities and/or overwhelming property damage is a natural disaster. In areas where there are no human interests, natural phenomena do not constitute hazards nor do they result in disasters.
  • #47 This method uses ranking such as ‘high’, ‘moderate’ and ‘low ‘to assess a hazard event. Where there is a lack of sufficient data for quantitative evaluation, or where certain variables cannot be expressed numerically, this qualitative ranking may be appropriate to take hazard mitigation decisions. We can use: geomorphic signature, for example: deposits, watermark caused by floods.
