Main Idea

The term “disaster” originated from the French word “desastre” which is a combination of the words “des”
meaning bad and “aster” meaning star. From this, it can be inferred that disaster literally means bad star.

Disaster is a serious and tragic event that causes loss of lives, human suffering, and great damages to properties
and environment. It disrupts the current state of communities, affecting wide-ranging aspects of community life.

Example/s:

 A landslide in a favela (slum area) in Rio de Janeiro.


 A drought in Australia’s Outback (vast, remote, and arid interior of Australia)

Main Idea

According to United Nations International Strategy on Disaster Reduction (ISDR), disaster risk is the potential
loss in lives, health status, livelihoods, and various assets which are often challenging to quantify.

Risk- is therefore defined as the measure of the losses—deaths, injuries, and damage to property due to a particular or
combination of hazards.
A natural Hazard cannot be considered a disaster in itself. For example, a volcanic eruption on an uninhabited island
cannot be considered a disaster since it does not affect any a community or property.
Vulnerability- defined as composing of several physical, social, environmental, or economic factors that increase the
susceptibility of a population or community to a national hazard.
Exposure- refers to those people or properties which are directly affected by natural disasters.

Example/s:
Disaster Risk can be expressed as a function of vulnerability, exposure, and hazard as follows.

Risk= Hazard* Exposure *Vulnerability


Coping Capacity

Earthquakes, People,
torrential rains, property, etc.
storms, etc.

DISASTER RISK
