DRRR Quarter 1 - Module 1
What’s New?
1. In the images given, I can perceive that life goes on even if there is a disaster. There is still
hope awaiting everybody in the midst of a ruin. “Hope is important because it can make the
present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can
bear a hardship today.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
2. The disasters that I indentified are floods, earthquake, bombing in Marawi City and the
typhoon in Leyte, Philippines
Guide Questions:
1. Severe geo-physical or climatic events, such as volcanic eruptions, floods, cyclones and fires
that threaten people or property, are termed as natural disasters. Man-made disasters are
events which are caused by human activities (e.g. industrial chemical accidents and oil spills).
Sometimes, natural disasters that are accelerated by human influence are termed human-
induced disasters
Give a man-made disaster you experienced within your locality or you had heard from
the news recently.

Have you learned so much from this module? What are the three things that you learned
today? What are the two things you found interesting?
1. You can categorize disasters into categories: Natural and Man- Made Disasters
2. Man-made disasters can be subdivided into three categories: industrial, violence and
complex humanitarian emergencies
3. I learned about risk and disaster risk
1. That disaster stress the two elements which are affected- life and property
2. That damage caused by disaster cannot be measured.
1 Question I Have
1. Communicate where you will be. Contact someone outside the affected area to tell
them where you will be for the duration of the event. Business owners should remind
employees of their roles in helping to get the business back up and running, and how
they will be notified when the facility is open again.
2. Know the warning signs and alert signals for your area. Stay tuned to your local
television or radio station or community alert system for emergency information.
3. Check your emergency survival kit. Make sure your emergency survival kit is stocked
with essential items and kept in an easily accessible location.
4. Collect emergency building materials. Depending on the type of disaster, you may
want to have emergency materials on hand, such as plywood, sandbags and
waterproof tarps.
5. Know how to shut off all utilities. It is always a good idea to know how to turn off the
gas, electricity and water in your home or place of business. If you need to evacuate
suddenly, it may be prudent to turn off utilities before leaving. Before doing so,
consider equipment that can help minimize damage and should therefore not have
utilities interrupted, such as electricity to sump pumps or fire protection equipment.
