OBJECTIVES
At the end of the presentations, the
learners will be able to:
a. describe the features and concepts of

DRRM;
b. determine what is Disaster Equation; and
c. to identify the importance of DRRM in
our lives.
OVERVIEW
The discusion for today’s topic will revolve

around the following:
1. Disaster Risk reduction and Management Concepts

1.1. Definition of Disaster Management Terms
1.2. The Disaster Equation
1.3. Disaster Risk Management – What and Who?
Disaster Risk reduction and
Management Concepts
•Disaster risk reduction (DRR) is a systematic
approach to identifying, assessing and
reducing the risks of disaster. It aims to
reduce socio-economic vulnerabilities to
disaster as well as dealing with the
environmental and other hazards that
trigger them.
Definition of Disaster
Management Terms
HAZARD
A hazard can be defined as a potentially

damaging physical event, social and
economic disruption or environmental
degradation.
Hazards can be the creation of man or the
environment.
RISK
Risk is usually associated with the

human inability to cope with a particular
situation.
VULNERABILITY
Vulnerability can be seen as, the ability
a person or community has, to predict,
cope with, or avoid and recover from, the
consequences of a hazard or disaster.
NATURAL PHENOMENA
Natural phenomena are extreme

weather, water or geological (earth)
processes that do not pose a threat to
people or properties.
DISASTER
A disaster is the serious disruption of the

functioning of a society, causing or
threatening to cause, widespread human,
material or environmental losses which
render the affected community unable to
cope using its own resources.
EMERGENCY
An emergency can be seen as a local

event within a community that affects a
limited number of people or property.
DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
Disaster risk reduction can be seen as the
systematic development and application of
policies, strategies and practices to minimize
vulnerabilities and disaster risks throughout a
society to prevent and limit negative impacts
of hazards, within the broad context of
sustainable development.
DISASTER MITIGATION
Disaster mitigation refers to structural
and non-structural measures that are
undertaken to limit the adverse impact of
natural hazards, environmental
degradation and technological hazards on
vulnerable areas, communities and
households
PREPAREDNESS
Preparedness contributes to disaster risk
reduction through measures taken in
advance to ensure effective response to
the impact of hazards, including timely
and effective early warnings and the
temporary evacuation of people and
property from threatened locations.
DISASTER RESPONSE
• Disaster response refers to the
provision of assistance or intervention
during or immediately after a disaster to
meet the life preservation and basic
subsistence needs of those people
affected.
DISASTER RECOVERY
• Disaster recovery (including
rehabilitation and reconstruction)
focuses on the decisions and actions
taken after a disaster to restore lives and
livelihoods, services, infrastructure and
the natural environment.
THE DISASTER EQUATION
The foundational equation for much
of disaster research in the past two
decades appeared initially in Blaikie et al.
(1994), and was DR= H x V, where
disaster risk (DR) is a function not only of
a hazard (H) but also of the vulnerability
(V) of the impact area.
•Disaster Risk Management
– What and Who?
What is disaster risk management?
Disaster risk management is the

application of disaster risk reduction policies
and strategies to prevent new disaster risk,
reduce existing disaster risk and manage
residual risk, contributing to the
strengthening of resilience and reduction of
disaster losses.
WHO?
In order for development activities to be
sustainable they must also reduce disaster
risk. On the other hand, unsound
development policies will increase disaster
risk – and disaster losses. Thus, DRR involves
every part of society, every part of
government, and every part of the
professional and private sector.
CONCLUSION
• Disaster management is important because it
aims to ensure an effective and coordinated
response to disasters. Through work to save lives
and reduce the impact of crises on affected
communities, disaster management is
fundamental to timely and effectual assistance
to disaster hit people.
