3. Global warming is the slow increase in the average
temperature of the earth’s atmosphere because an
increased amount of the energy (heat) striking the earth
from the sun is being trapped in the atmosphere and not
radiated out into space.
The earth’s atmosphere has always acted like a greenhouse
to capture the sun’s heat, ensuring that the earth has
enjoyed temperatures that permitted the emergence of life
forms as we know them, including humans.
4. Without our atmospheric greenhouse the earth would be very
cold. Global warming, however, is the equivalent of a greenhouse
with high efficiency reflective glass installed the wrong way
around.
Scientists attribute the current warming trend to the use of
fossil fuels because using them releases into the atmosphere
stores of carbon that were sequestered (buried) millions of
years ago.
The addition of this “old” carbon to the world’s current stock
of carbon, scientists have concluded, is what is heating our
earth which causes global warming.

6. Climate change
refers to significant, long-term changes in the global climate.
Changes in temperature change the great patterns of wind that bring the
monsoons in Asia and rain and snow around the world, making drought and
unpredictable weather more common.
There are also what we call natural climate change which was made by
volcano eruptions and forest fire or wild fires.

EXERCISE
18. A disaster is a serious disruption occurring over a short or long period of time
that causes widespread human, material, economic or environmental loss which
exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own
resources. Developing countries suffer the greatest costs when a disaster hits
more than 95 percent of all deaths caused by hazards occur in developing
countries, and losses due to natural hazards are 20 times greater in developing
countries than in industrialized countries. No matter what society disasters occur
in, they tend to induce change in government and social life. They may even alter
the course of history by broadly affecting entire populations and exposing
mismanagement or corruption regardless of how tightly information is controlled in
a society.
20. o Human-instigated disasters are the consequence of technological or human
hazards. Examples include stampedes, fires, transport accidents, industrial
accidents, oil spills, terrorist attacks, nuclear explosions/nuclear radiation.
War and deliberate attacks may also be put in this category.
o Other types of induced disasters include the more cosmic scenarios of
catastrophic global warming, nuclear war, and bioterrorism.
o One opinion argues that all disasters can be seen as human-made, due to
human failure to introduce appropriate emergency management measures
Human-Made Disasters
21. o A natural disaster is a natural process or phenomenon that may cause loss of life,
injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services,
social and economic disruption, or environmental damage.
o Various phenomena like earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, floods,
hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, tsunamis, cyclones and pandemics are all natural
hazards that kill thousands of people and destroy billions of dollars of habitat and
property each year. However, the rapid growth of the world's population and its
increased concentration often in hazardous environments has escalated both the
frequency and severity of disasters. With the tropical climate and unstable
landforms, coupled with deforestation, unplanned growth proliferation, non-
engineered constructions make the disaster-prone areas more vulnerable.
Natural Disasters
22. o Developing countries suffer more or less
chronically from natural disasters due to
ineffective communication combined with
insufficient budgetary allocation for disaster
prevention and management.
23. WHAT IS DISASTER MANAGEMENT?
● We act before, during and after disasters strike, often providing
assistance in some of the world’s most hostile environments.
● Our disaster management activities seek to:
● > Save lives and reduce human suffering
● > Protect and restore livelihoods
● > Reduce the risks faced by communities affected by disaster and
conflict.
24. DISASTER MANAGEMENT
Whether natural or man-made, children are the most vulnerable
when a disaster strikes. More than half of the people who are
affected by disasters are children. It is our calling to protect the well-
being of children affected by disasters.
DM2020 (Disaster Management 2020) is our child-focused disaster
management strategy, designed to meet the needs of the world’s
most vulnerable children.
Our areas of focus in disaster management include:
25. EARLY WARNING
Our teams monitor signals and indicators of both
natural and man-made threats. This
information warns of emerging events, such as
typhoons, flooding, the precursors of famine and
stirrings of conflict, so we can anticipate and
reduce the impact of a humanitarian
emergency.
26. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
Through proper training and planning, we can help minimise the loss to
children and families when a disaster strikes.
We work with families and individuals as well as local, national and
international partners across the world to ensure communities are aware of
the risks they face and how to properly prepare and respond in the event of
an emergency.
Our programmes are designed to eliminate or mitigate hazards within their
control, increase community resilience and provide training in disaster risk
reduction. Activities aim to:
27. Reduce vulnerabilities – including physical, social, economic and
environmental factors that increase susceptibility.
Lessen the impacts of natural and man-made conditions that
have the potential to adversely impact the lives and livelihoods
of communities.
Develop and enhance the capacity of individuals, communities
and institutions to reduce risk and build up resilience. The better
the capacity the more resilient to risk.
28. PREPAREDNESS
In addition to helping communities and families prepare for
disasters, our own preparedness means we are ready to
help communities when a disaster strikes.
Stores of relief items are maintained in most countries where
we work and in strategically-located disaster response
warehouses.
30. What is Natural
Hazard?
• Natural hazards are all related to the
processes that drive our planet. Indeed, the
Earth would not be a functioning
ecosystem without the dynamic processes
that shape our planet’s landscapes over
geologic time. Natural hazards (or
geohazards, as they are sometimes called)
include such events as earthquakes,
volcanic eruptions, landslides and ground
collapse, tsunamis, floods and droughts,
geomagnetic storms, and coastal storms.
32. 1. Geological hazards - are hazards driven by geological (Earth) processes, in
particular, plate tectonics. This includes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
2. Meteorological hazards - are hazards driven by meteorological (weather)
processes, in particular those related to temperature and wind. This includes heat
waves, cold waves, cyclones, hurricanes, and freezing rain. Cyclones are commonly
called hurricanes in the Atlantic and typhoons in the Pacific Ocean.
3. Hydrological hazards - are hazards driven by hydrological (water) processes. This
includes floods, droughts, mudslides, and tsunamis.
Biological hazards - are hazards driven by biological processes. This includes various
types of disease, including infectious diseases that spread from person to person,
threatening to infect large portions of the human population.

34. What is Hazard
Management?
• Hazard management is basically a field that
involves identifying, analyzing, and eliminating
potential hazards. An example of a hazard
would be things such as hazardous construction
materials that could endanger the lives of
workers.
35. • Hazard management is essentially a problem
solving process aimed at defining problems
(identifying hazards). gathering information
about them (assessing risks) and solving
them (controlling the risks).
41. • Disaster Mitigation - Structural and non-structural
measures undertaken to limit the adverse impact of
natural hazards; for example, planting mangroves to
reduce the risk posed by tidal surges or raising
awareness of natural hazards through school-based
education projects.
• Early Warning - The provision of timely information
enabling people to take steps to reduce the impact of
hazards. Early warning is typically multi-hazard and
requires genuine ownership of, and participation by,
communities and other stakeholders, e.g., access to
information by local people concerning an approaching
typhoon or tropical storm.
42. • Disaster Preparedness - Measures that help ensure a timely and
effective ‘first line’ of response supported by National Societies’
volunteers, branches, regional and national capacities, e.g.,
community action teams backed up by National Society
contingency planning and regional and/or international
response teams
• Recovery - Decisions and actions taken after a disaster with a
view to restoring or improving the pre-disaster living conditions
of the affected community, while facilitating necessary
adjustments to reduce disaster risk, e.g., assessing levels of
future risk when planning housing projects in the aftermath of a
disaster.
43. • Support to Livelihoods - Projects that strengthen or
diversify livelihoods that enable individuals or households
to develop strategies to reduce risk, e.g. home gardening
can improve nutrition and increase reserves in the time
of drought.
