2. REVIEW:
 A disaster is a natural or man-made
hazard resulting to physical damage or
destruction, loss of life, or drastic
change to the natural environment.

3. Disaster
VS
Calamity

6. Examples of Natural
Calamities

7. Earthquake
 Isan unexpected and rapid
shaking of earth due to the
breakage and shifting of
underneath layers of earth.

8. Tornado
 A violentstorm characterized with
a rotating and funnel shaped
cloud.

9. Flood
 Is
an increased level of water due to
heavy rain or any other cause.

10. Hail
 Comes into existence when
updrafts in the thunder clouds take
the raindrops up towards the
extremely colds regions in the
atmosphere.

11. Wildfire
-It happens when
forest areas catches
fire.

12. Storms
Rotating strong winds
caused by a low
pressure system from
ocean currents.

13. Different Names of Storms
according to origin:
Typhoon – Pacific ocean
Hurricane – Atlantic Ocean
Cyclones – Indian Ocean

14. Volcanic Eruption
 Caused by pressure when gasses in the
molted rock becomes intense.

15. PHILIPPINE DISASTERS
 According to the International Red Cross
and Red Crescent Societies, the
Philippines was the fourth most accident
prone country in the world. Some 5
million Filipinos were killed or injured as
a result of disasters or man-made
calamities over a ten-year period (1992-
2001).

16. Worst Man-made Disaster
 On July 12, 2000, Nearly 500 garbage
scavengers who were living literally at the
Payatas dumpsite in Quezon City were
buried alive under tons of garbage when a
50-foot garbage mountain collapsed on their
makeshift houses at the height of torrential
rains.

17. Worst Festival Tragedy
 On July 2, 1993, a pagoda carrying
hundreds of Catholic devotees during
the annual pagoda festival in Bocaue,
Bulacan sank into the muddy Bocaue
River. About 279 people, including
children, drowned in the incident. One
victim, Sajid Bulig, died a hero after
saving four children out of the river.

18. Worst Sea Accidents
 In December 1987, some 4,341 people
died when Dona Paz, an inter-island
passenger ferry owned by Sulpicio Lines
collided with an oil tanker off Mindoro
Island. Sadly it was not to be the last
sea tragedy in the Philippines. In 1988,
around 250 people died when Dona
Marilyn, another passenger ferry owned
by Sulpicio Lines, sank.

19. Worst Air Accident
 On April 19, 2000, some 131 people
were killed when a commercial airplane
from Manila crashed in Samal Island,
Davao del Norte province (southern
Mindanao). All the passengers and crew,
including four infants, of Air Philippines
Boeing 737-200 (Flight 541 from Manila)
died in what is now considered the worst
air tragedy in the Philippines.

20. Worst Terrorist Attacks
 In April 1995, the Muslim extremist Abu
Sayyaf (Bearers of the Sword) group
raided the Christian town of Ipil in
Zamboanga del Norte province and
burned all its houses and
establishments. The group also shot
dead at least 54 residents of the town.

21. Worst Fires
 On March 18, 1996 a fire at Ozone disco
along Timog Avenue in Quezon City left
150 people dead and 90 others
seriously injured. Around 350 young
Filipinos were inside the bar when the
fire struck. It was considered the worst
nightclub fire since a blaze killed 164
people in Southgate, Kentucky in 1977.

22. Worst Earthquake
 On July 16, 1990, an earthquake that
registered 7.7 on the Richter scale killed
1,700 people, injured 3,000 individuals
and displaced 148,000 more in Luzon.
Among the cities that sustained the
worst damages were Baguio, Dagupan
and Cabanatuan.

23. Worst Typhoons and
Flashfloods
 Typhoon Thelma on November 5, 1991, a
flashflood hit Ormoc City in Leyte province,
killing at least 3,000 people and destroying
the homes of 50,000 others.
 In September 1984, a typhoon Ike killed
1,300 persons while in 1995 typhoon
Angela killed 700 people.
 On August 3, 1999, heavy torrential rains
caused a landslide that killed 58 people
and buried over 100 houses at Cherry Hills
Subsivision in Antipolo City.

24. Disaster Management
 Disaster management is the discipline
that involves preparing, warning,
supporting and rebuilding societies
when natural or man-made disasters
occur.
 It is the continuous process in an effort
to avoid or minimize the impact of
disasters resulting from hazards.

25. Disaster Management
 Effective disaster management relies on
thorough integration of emergency plans
at all levels of government and non-
government involvement.

26. Goals of Disaster Management
 Avoid or reduce the potential losses
from hazards
 Assure prompt and appropriate
assistance to victims of disaster
 Achieve rapid and effective recovery.

27. Disaster Management Cycle
 Illustrates the ongoing process by which
the government and the private sector
plan for and reduce the impact of
disasters, react during and immediately
following a disaster, and take steps to
recover after a disaster has occurred.

28. Disaster Management Cycle
 Appropriate actions at all points in the
cycle lead to greater preparedness,
better warnings, reduced vulnerability or
the prevention of disasters during the
next iteration of the cycle.

29. Disaster Management Cycle
 The complete disaster management
cycle includes the shaping of public
policies and plans that either modify the
causes of disasters or mitigate their
effects on people, property, and
infrastructure.

30. Disaster Management Cycle

31. Response
 Includes actions taken to
save lives, prevent damage
to property, and to preserve
the environment during
emergencies or disasters.
 It is the implementation of
action plans.

32. Recovery
 Includes actions that assist a community
to return to a sense of normalcy after a
disaster.

33. Mitigation
 Any activity that reduces either the
chance of a hazard taking place or a
hazard turning into disaster.
 It includes building codes; zoning and
land use management; regulations and
safety codes; preventive health care;
and public education.

34. Risk reduction
 Anticipatory measures and actions that
seek to avoid future risks as a result of a
disaster.

35. Prevention
 Avoiding a disaster at the eleventh hour.
 Includes activities which actually
eliminate or reduce the probability of
disaster occurrence, or reduce the
effects of unavoidable disasters.

36. Preparedness
 Plans made to save lives or property,
and help the response and rescue
service operations.
 This phase covers
implementation/operation, early warning
systems and capacity building so the
population will react appropriately when
an early warning is issued.

37. Take Note!
 The disaster management phases
illustrated here do not always, or even
generally, occur in isolation or in this
precise order. Often phases of the cycle
overlap and the length of each phase
greatly depends on the severity of the
disaster.

38. NDCC
 The National Disaster Control Center
(NDCC), was created on October 19,
1970, as the forerunner of the National
Disaster Coordinating Council created
under PD 1566. It serves as the highest
policy-making body for disasters in the
country and includes almost all
Department Secretaries as members.

39. NDCC
 It is headed by the Sec. of National
Defense as Chairman.
 The disaster coordinating councils
(DCCs) from the regional, provincial, city
and municipal level, on the other hand,
are composed of representatives of
national government agencies operating
at these levels and local officials
concerned.
