| The archipelago is rich in natural resources such as fish, minerals, and agricultural products, which can support local economies and industries. | Resource Availability |
| DISADVANTAGES OF THE PHILIPPINES | Vulnerability to Natural Disasters |
| The Philippines' archipelago is highly prone to various natural hazards due to its unique geographical and environmental characteristics. | Vulnerability to Natural Disasters |
| it is a region known for its high seismic activity, including frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. | Pacific Ring of Fire |
| is located in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, where nearly one-third of the world’s tropical cyclones form. | Typhoon belt |
| a process/ phenomenon of human activity that may cause loss of life, injury, or other health impacts, property damage, social and economic disruption, or environmental degradation. | Hazard |
| It is a threat that has the potential to harm our lives, health, environment, and property. | Hazard |
| is a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society at any scale due to hazardous events. | Disaster |
| It can cause significant loss of life, property, and economic resources in a community that lacks the capability to adjust to the disruption. | Disaster |
| are dominantly associated with natural processes and phenomena that pose a threat or cause negative impacts to the area and property. | Natural Hazards |
| civil conflict displacement due to development projects, environmental degradation, industrial and technological hazards. It is induced hazards are induced entirely or predominantly by human activities and choices. | Human-made Hazards |
| comes from many aspects, specifically, those that arise from various social, economic, physical, and environmental factors. | Vulnerability |
| They are the community members whose capacities are low and not sufficient to withstand and overcome the damaging and adverse effects of disasters. | Most Vulnerable Sectors |
| They are the community members whose capacities start from their own ability to acquire material resources, skills, and training, position in society | Less Vulnerable Sectors |
| Sectors in society having a high position in the community. | Not Vulnerable Sectors |
| Population density, remoteness of settlement, and housing. It mainly affects possessions. | Physical/Material Vulnerability |
| People, organizations, and societies struggle to withstand the adverse impacts of hazards due to inherent characteristics in social interactions, institutions, and cultural values. (children, elderly, PWD, etc.) | Social/Organizational Vulnerability |
| People who have low confidence in their ability to effect change or who have “lost heart” and feel defeated by events they cannot control are harder hit by disasters than those who have a sense of their ability to bring the changes they desire. | Attitudinal/Motivational Vulnerability |
| Categories of Vulnerability | Physical/Material Vulnerability, Social/Organizational Vulnerability, & Attitudinal/Motivational Vulnerability |
| Determines the tendency of a community to face disasters. | Disaster Risk |
| Direct situations arising from the disaster itself. Such as typhoons → flooding, destruction of houses, loss of life, etc. | Primary |
| Situations resulting from the primary effects. Such as typhoon → disruption of electrical and water services due to damaged power and water lines. | Secondary |
| Not experienced during the disaster, but can be felt some time after the disaster. It can happen when primary/secondary effects become permanent. | Tertiary |
| Effects of Disasters | Primary, Secondary, & Tertiary |
| Visible or tangible materials, whether natural or man-made. (cracks on main roads/buildings) | Physical |
| People’s emotional, cognitive, or interpersonal reaction to difficulties. (trauma, anxiety, etc.) | Psychological |
| Response of people, whether victims or not, to emergency situations and to the kind of assistance they receive. (beliefs, religion, custom, and values.) | Sociocultural |
| Disruption of economic activities in the community. | Economic |
| How the government services are used to reduce loss or damage by preparing for and preventing disasters. | Political |
| Potential for infectious or communicable diseases. | Biological |
| is a product of global warming in which greenhouse gases from excessive carbon emission brought by industrial development affect the climate systems of the world. | Climate Change |
| It refers to the deterioration of the natural environment through the depletion of resources, loss of biodiversity, and destruction of ecosystems. | Environmental Degradation |
| Causes of Environmental Degradation | Human activities & Natural Factors |
| Economic poverty is manifested in the lack of ability of a family to provide for its basic necessities, such as food, clothing, and shelter. | Poverty |
| It exacerbates this situation, as marginalized groups may have less access to safety measures and recovery resources. | Inequality |
| It can lead to the development of infrastructure in hazard-prone areas, increasing exposure to risks such as flooding or landslides. Poorly managed urban development often neglects disaster risk considerations. | Unplanned & Rapid Urbanization |
| When public sector actors fail to fulfill their responsibilities in managing risks or providing essential services, communities become more vulnerable. | Weak Governance |
