OBJECTIVES

3. First to guess the word
will win the prize.

5. HAZARD
A dangerous phenomenon ,
substance , human activity
or condition 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.
• There is a potential…
• Slow onset, rapid
onset
• Natural or human-
induced

6. NATURAL HAZARDS
 TROPICAL CYCLONES
 FLOODS
 STORM SURGES
 EARTHQUAKES
 TSUNAMIS
 VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS
 LANDSLIDES
 DROUGHT

7. HUMAN-INDUCED HAZARDS
 FIRE
 MARITIME ACCIDENTS
 AIRCRAFT CRASH
 LAND ACCIDENTS
 INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS
 POLLUTION
 CIVIL DISTURBANCE
 TERRORISM
 ARMED CONFLICT

9. DISASTER
The serious disruption of the
functioning of society, causing
widespread human, material or
environmental losses, which exceed
the ability of the affected people to
cope using their own resources.

11. DISASTER RISK
The potential disaster losses, in lives,
health status, livelihoods, assets and
services, which could occur to a
particular community or a society over
some specified future time period.

13. VULNERABILITY
The characteristics and
circumstances of a community, system
or asset that make it susceptible to the
damaging effects of a hazard.

15. CAPACITY
The combination of all
the strengths,
attributes and
resources available
within a community,
society or organization
that can be used to
achieve agreed goals.

17. PREVENTION
The outright avoidance of adverse
impacts of hazards and related
disasters.
Sendai Framework for DRR speaks of
prevention as “prevention of new
risks”

19. MITIGATION
The lessening or limitation of the
adverse impacts of hazards and related
disasters.
• Adverse impacts of hazards often cannot be prevented
fully – use interchangeably with prevention
• Scale or severity can be substantially lessened by
various strategies and actions
• Both structural and non-structural measures

21. PREPAREDNESS
The knowledge and capacities developed by
governments, professional response and
recovery organizations, communities and
individuals to effectively anticipate, respond
to, and recover from, the impacts of likely,
imminent or current hazard events or
conditions.
• Requires formal institutional, legal
and budgetary support and
capacities
• Aims to build capacities needed to
efficiently manage all types of
emergencies

23. RESPONSE
Provision of emergency services and
public assistance during or
immediately after a disaster in order to
save lives, reduce health impacts,
ensure public safety and meet the basic
subsistence needs of the people
affected.
• Immediate and short-term needs
• Division between response stage and
subsequent recovery stage is not clear-
cut
• Response actions, such as the supply of
temporary housing and water supplies,
may extend well into the recovery stage

25. REHABILITATION
Measures that ensure the ability of
affected communities/areas to restore
their normal level of functioning by
rebuilding livelihood and damaged
infrastructures and increasing the
communities' organizational capacity.
• Actions taken in the aftermath of disaster
to:
• Assist victims to repair their
dwellings
• Re-establish essential services
• Revive key economic and social
activities

27. RECONSTRUCTION
Permanent measures to repair or
replace damaged
dwellings and infrastructure and to set
the economy back on
course.
“build back better”

29. RECOVERY
The restoration and improvement
where appropriate, of facilities,
livelihood and living conditions of
disaster-affected communities,
including efforts to reduce disaster risk
factors.
Applies “build back better” principle

31. RESILIENCE

33. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
The concept and practice of reducing
disaster risks through systematic efforts to
analyze and manage the causal factors of
disasters, including through reduced
exposure to hazards, lessened vulnerability
of people and property, wise management
of land and the environment, and improved
preparedness for adverse events.
Sendai Framework for DRR
speaks of DRR as “reducing
existing risks”

34. DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT
The systematic process of using administrative
directives, organizations, and operational skills
and capacities to implement strategies, policies
and improved coping capacities in order to
lessen the adverse impacts of hazards and the
possibility of disaster.
DRM is DRR in ACTION

36. Change in the
state of climate
over time due
to:
• human activity, either
directly or indirectly
*human activity, i.e. activities that release greenhouse gases; also known as anthropogenic
CLIMATE CHANGE
IPCC UNFCCC
Change in the
state of climate
over time due to:
• natural processes
• human activity

37. Greenhouse Gases
CARBON
DIOXIDE
NITROUS
OXIDE
WATER
VAPOR

38. Dramatic increase
of GHG emissions
and concentrations
since prein-dustrial
times
WHAT’S WRONG?!

GIF/articleshow/29173746.cms

39. IPCC 2007 CONCLUSION
“Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is
now evident from observations of increases in global
average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of
snow and ice, and rising global average sea level”
(WG 1, IPCC 4th Assessment Report)

40. Adaptation is adjustment in natural or
human systems in response to actual or
expected stimuli or their effects, which
moderates harm or exploits benefit
opportunities (IPCC).
Adjustments in ecological, social, or
economic systems in response to actual
or expected climatic stimuli and their
effects or impacts. It refers to changes in
processes, practices, and structures to
moderate potential damages or to benefit
from opportunities associated with climate
change (UNFCCC).

41. • An anthropogenic intervention to
reduce the sources or enhance the
sinks of greenhouse gases (IPCC).
• Human interventions to reduce the
emissions of greenhouse gases by
sources or enhance their removal
from the atmosphere by “sinks”. A
“sink” refers to forests, vegetation or
soils that can reabsorb CO2 (UNFCCC).
• Reduction of greenhouse gas
emissions
