DEFINITION OF HAZARD

A hazard is an agent which has the potential to cause

harm to a vulnerable target. The term hazard and risk
are often used interchangeably, however in terms of
risk assessments they are two nary distinct terms
wazard is any agent that can harm or damage to
humans, property , or environment risk is defineal as
the probability that exposure to the hazard while lead
to a negative consequences, or more simply, a hazard
passes no risk it there is no exposure to that hazard.
DEFINITION OF DISASTER
A disaster is a serious disruption, accruing over a
relatively that time of the functioning of the community
or a society involving widespread humans , material ,
economics or environmental loss and impacts , which
exceeds the ability of the affected community or society
to cope using its own resources.
 Types of Disaster
Drought
Earthquake
Tsunami
Flood
 DROUGHT
A drought is a period of below – average precipitation in a
given region resulting in prolonged shortages in water
supply , weather atmospheric , surface water or ground water
. A drought can last for months of years , or may be declared
after as few as 15 days.

Causes – causes of drought are land and water temperature ,

air circulation and weather pattern , soil moistation

Prevention – Irrigate slowly , slow soaking limits runoff and

encourage plants to dewlap deep roots system that are better
able to tolerate drought.
Using an escalating sprinkler to water large area help to
reduce runoff.
 EARTHQUAKE
An earthquake is the shaking of the surface of the
earth , caused by the sudden movement in the
earth’s crust . They can be extremely violent or
cannot be felt by anymore.

Causes – Earthquake are usually caused by when

rock underground , as suddenly break along a fault.
This sudden release energy cause the earthquake.

Prevention – Locate a place in each room of the

house that you can go in case of a earthquake. Keep
a supply of canned food , first- aid kit , 3 gallons of
water per – person . Turn off your gas all electric
appliances
 TSUNAMI
A tsunami is a tidal waves , also known as a seismic waves of
sea , is a series of waves in a water body caused by the
displacement of a large volume of water , generally in oceans
or a lake.

Causes – Tsunami are actually wave caused by sudden

movement of the sea floors , major volcanic eruptions on large
meter ate impact.

Prevention – Try to know the warning sign of a tsunami :

rapidly rising or falling coastal water and rumblings of an
offshore earthquake plan an evacuation route that leads to
higher grounds.
 FLOOD
A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that is
usually dry . The flood as a covering by water of land not
normally covered by water.

Causes – Flooding may occur as an overflow of water from

water bodies . Such as river , lake or ocean in which the water
overtops or breaks.

Prevention – Permanent monitoring of the risk of flooding (

establishment of a network to measure the water levels of
streams, rivers )
DEFINITION OF DISASTER
MANAGEMENT
Emergency management or disaster management is the
organization and management of resources and responsibilities
for dealing with all humanitarian aspects of emergencies
(preparedness , response and recovery ). The aim to reduce the
harmful effects of all hazards , including disasters. It should not
be equated “ disaster management”.
 DIFFERENT PHASES OF DISASTER
MANAGEMENT

RESPONSE

Response addresses immediate threats presented by the

disaster, including saving lives , meeting humanitarian needs (
food, shatter , clothing , public health and safety ) , cleanup ,
damage assessment period progresses , focus shifts from
dealing whit immediate emergency issues to conducting
repairs.

RECONSTRUCTION

It includes construction of damaged infrastructure and habitats

and enabling sustainable lively foods
PREPAREDNESS

Preparedness refers to measures taken to prepare for and reduce

the effects of disasters. That is , to predict and , where possible ,
prevent disasters, mitigate their impact on vulnerable
populations , and respond to and effectively cope with their
consequences .”
