WHY DO WE NEED TO LEARN DRRR IN
SCHOOLS?
Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction is the concept and practice of
reducing disaster risk by:
• Systematically studying the causes of disasters;

• Reducing exposure to hazards;
• Lessening the vulnerability of people and property; and
• Improving the preparedness of people and communities to face hazards
DRRR aims to strengthen the resilience of persons, communities and

societies
GLOBAL RISE IN DISASTER RISK
• The global number of disasters has more than doubled since the
1980s.
• An annual average of 232 million people worldwide were
affected by disasters between 2001 and 2010.
• More than 680,000 people died in earthquakes between 2000
and 2010 mainly due to poorly constructed buildings.
• Every year, an average of 102 million people around the world
are affected by floods, 37 million people by cyclones,
hurricanes and typhoons, and nearly 366,000 people by
landslides.
PICTURE ANALYSIS
1. Identify the hazard in the

picture?
2. Why is it a hazard?
3. Which is vulnerable to the
hazard?
4. What can be done to prevent a
disaster from occurring?
5. Identify hazards which makes the
school or the community
vulnerable?
The probability of harmful
RISK consequences, or expected
loss of lives, people
injured, livelihoods,
disruption of economic
activities and damage to
the environment as a
result of interactions
between natural or human
induced hazards and
vulnerable conditions.
Hazard It is an event or
occurrence that has
the potential to
cause harm to life
and damage
property and the
environment.
It comprises conditions
determined by physical, social,
economic and environmental
factors or processes, which
increase the susceptibility of a
community, school, or certain area
in a locality to the impact of
hazards.
Vulnerability
A natural or man-made
emergencies that cannot be
handled by affected
communities who experience
severe danger and incur loss of
lives and properties causing
disruption in its social structure
and prevention of the
fulfillment of all or some of the
affected community’s essential
functions.
Disaster
Activities that provide
outright avoidance of
the adverse impact of
hazards and means to
minimize related
environmental,
technological and
biological disasters
Prevention
Steps taken to contain
or reduce the effects of
an anticipated or
already occurred
disastrous events
Mitigation
Activities and measures taken
in advance to ensure effective
response to the of hazards,
including the issuance of
timely and effective early
warnings and the temporary
evacuation of people and
property from threatened
locations
Disaster
Preparedness
NATURE
OF
DISASTERS
NATURAL DISASTERS
• These originate from the different “forces” of
nature.
• Such as earthquake, volcanic eruptions,
typhoons and cyclones affect many countries in
Asia particularly the Philippines.
HUMAN-MADE DISASTERS
• These disasters occur due to people’s actions against
human, material and environment.
• These include transport and industrial accidents, such as
air and train crashes, chemical spills and building
collapses.
• Terrorism is also categorized as human-made disaster.
TYPES
OF
DISASTERS
NATURAL TYPES OF DISASTERS
• Agricultural diseases and pests
• Tsunamis
• Wildfires
• Storm surge
• Sinkholes
• Drought and water shortage • Emergency diseases
• Earthquake • Extreme heat
• Landslide • Floods and flash floods
• La Nina
• Thunderstorms and lightning
• Tornadoes
HUMAN-MADE AND TECHNOLOGICAL
TYPES OF DISASTER
• Hazardous materials
• Power service disruption and blackout
• Nuclear power plant and nuclear blast
• Radiological emergencies
• Chemical threat and biological weapons
• Cyber attacks
• Explosion
• Civil unrest
RISK FACTORS
UNDERLYING
DISASTER
1. SEVERITY OF EXPOSURE
• The amount of exposure to the disaster is highly related to risk
of future mental problems.
• High risk are those that go through the disaster themselves
• Next are those in close contact with the victims
• Lower risk of lasting impact are those who only had indirect
exposure
2. GENDER AND FAMILY
3. AGE
EFFECTS OF
NATURAL
DISASTERS ON
HUMAN LIFE
1. DISPLACED
POPULATIONS
2. HEALTH
RISKS
3. FOOD
SCARCITY
4. EMOTIONAL
AFTERSHOCKS
FOR DISCUSSION, ACTION
RESEARCH
• Conduct a research or present a paper of
some events in the Philippine context that
turned to a disaster. Classify such events
whether they are natural or human-made.
Hazards
Hydrometeorological
Geological Hazard Man-Made Hazard
Hazard
Ground shaking, Tornado, flood, typhoon,

Indoor fire, industrial
landslide, lava flow, storm surge, extreme
liquefaction, and tsunami rainfall
pollution, forest fire
IDENTIFYING IMPACTS OF HAZARDS
IDENTIFYING IMPACTS OF HAZARDS
• Divide the class into 6 groups.

• Imagine the impacts of certain phenomena (the hazards) on specific
settings. Each group will be assigned with a certain setting (based on
the letters above).
• Identify the impact of hazards in each situations.
• Presentation of output follows after 20 minutes
A. Family in concrete house
near the highway far from
river and mountain
B. Mountain climbers going up
the slope
C. Exchange learners in a local
family home in the barrio
near the river
D. Friends in a beach resort
E. Fishermen out on the sea
F. Passengers in a jeep along a
road with moderate traffic
ASSIGNED SETTING
• Group 1 = Typhoon
• Group 2 = Landslide
• Group 3 = Earthquake
• Group 4 = Faulty electrical wiring
• Group 5 = Volcanic Eruption
• Group 6 = Flood

GUIDE QUESTIONS
1. Are the impacts of each hazard the same? Why?

2. What kinds of hazards affected everyone?
3. What kind of hazards did not affected everyone?
4. What would you do if you were caught in one of these
hazards?
