Write a FACT if the sentence is true and write BLUFF if the sentence is false, 1. Poverty contributes to the increase of disaster risks that refers to the quality ‘of construction often is low and building codes, and registration processes, and other regulatory mechanisms are lacking, as well as numerous other development priorities displace. 2. Loss of biodiversity is NOT a problem caused by environmental degradation. 3, Urbanization, climate change and over-exploitation of species are factors contributing to the increase of disaster risks, ____4, Rapid and unplanned urbanization is factor underlying disasters that we can reduce risk through establishing urban development programs that lessen the creation of slums in risk areas, prevent the growth of housing on dangerous ‘slopes or flood plains, and provide the poor with access to safe lands, 5, Protecting communities by installing early warming systems, Make warnings ‘more effective with regular drills and increase community ability to foresee, prepare for, and cope with the disaster are the most effective mitigating plans to reduce the risk factors related to flooding prone areas in Pasig and should be the ‘highest priority of the local government. a LESSON ane Howis the effect of disaster estimated or measured? Why is the measurement (quantitative or qualitative) of the effects of disaster important? Disaster often results from the failure to anticipate the timing and enormity of natural hazards, Little lead time is left to take preparedness actions such as evacuation and strengthening of structures. Disaster does not only results in death and destruction or damage to homes and buildings (Figure 1) but also in the destruction of crops and decreased quality or quantity of water. Apart from these effects, let us take a look at the other effects of disasters. fA) (=) JD),FIGURE 1: Destruction of Business Centers in Downtown, Tacloban City after ‘the landfall of Category 5 Typhoon Haiyan, in Leyte province, central Philippines on Sunday, November 8, 2013. EFFECTS OF DISASTERS 1. Medical Effects. The medial effects of disaster include traumatic injuries, ‘emotional stress, epidemic stress, and indigenous diseases. 2. Damage to Critical Facilities. Widespread disasters can destroy or damage facilities that may be critical not only in maintaining a safe environment and public order but also in responding to the disaster. Among these are communication installations, electrical generating and transmission facilities, hospitals, water facilities (storage, purifications, and pumping), and other public and private buildings, 3. Disruption of Transportation. During the initial stages of a disaster, almost all surface means of transportation within a. community are disrupted by broken bridges and roads and streets that are rendered impassable by landslides or floods, The restricted mobility of vehicles makes rescue and other emergency operations doubly dliffieutt, 4, Eeonamie Impact. As a result of the destruction and damage to critical facilities, especially to transportation and communication facilities, disaster disruptscurtailed. People must also leave their jobs and devote their time to disaster-related activities, such as search and rescue, or te caring for survivers. 5. Global Environmental Change. There is increasing evidence of glaball climate change brought about by bath human activity and disasters. Although the long- Tange consequences are hard to predict, more cyclonic storms, an increase in both flooding and drought, and a trend towards desertification cannot be ruled out. The changes could result in a wide range of more hazards such as wildfires and mudslides, reduced productivity in the oceans, and weakened immune systems of people and animals 6, Social and Poltttcal Impact. As a large segment of the population in developing countries consists of the poor, who are the most vulnerable whenever disaster ‘strikes, these countries are the most alfected, The poor are the most prone to disasters like earthquakes and typhoons because of the structures they live in which are unreinforced and poorly built. These are alse often located in marginal lands. ‘When disasters happen, social and political inequalities are usually exposed, which may lead to major political and social changes, One example is the formation of the ‘state of Bangladesh from Pakistan, The breakaway was triggered by a disaster from a tropical cyclone and storm surge which exposed inequalities in the treatment of ‘Bast Pakistan by more affluent West Pakistan, Pl ACTIVITIES ACTIVITY 4 - Effects of Disasters Read the questions carefully and confine your responses to an analysis of the ‘questions as written, Do not. assume any factsnot outlined in the questions.

A flood in a rural area which floods the roads but does not affect any houses, A i» B i, LESSON aaa A disaster is an event that seriously disrupts the functioning of a community due to various causes such as natural and even human origins, Disaster cause losses that exceed the community's ability to cope using its resources, The effects of a disaster vary from different perspectives and these perspectives are the focus of this self-learning module.Disasters affect communities or societies that create challenges both in public health and the behavioral health of the impacted communities. Disaster affects communities or societies physically, psychologically, socia-culturally, economically, politically, and biologically. Let's identify and explain how disaster affects these perspectives of community ar society, * Physical Perspective of a Disaster. This perspective of a disaster basically the most often overt and observable, Disaster affects physical clements such as buildings, infrastructures, houses, and other physical aspects of a community, even the death of people, * Psychological Perspective of a Disaster. : = The psychological effects of a disaster area | rigure 2. physical destruction as an more difficult and complex aspect of a | effectofanaturd or manmade disaster. disaster, Most often than not, physical | sue. ryrsey Grose, sprit 25, 2018, aspect as well as econemic and others are | ‘Whar are the Megatve Effets of Natural more given emphasis to deal with in the | Dsosters™ aftermath of a disaster, while psychological intervention or seeking mental health is often taken for granted. = The psychological perspective of a disaster talks about the mental challenges that disaster might bring to the impacted individuals in a community or society, An example of this mental challengeis Post Traumatic Stress Disorder {[PTSD). PTSD is a psychiatric disorder that happens to a person who experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as accident, war, rape, and even anatural disaster. + Socio-cultural Perspective of « Disaster, By definition, Socio-cultural means a system with social and cultural factors that means commen habits, traditions, and beliefs present in a population group, ‘AS a perspective of a disaster, when a society ar community living ina very remote area tend to have limited access to information leading to a lack of ‘education about disaster risk preparedness thus, somehow, making them more vulnerable to disaster. + Economic Perspective of s Disaster, From an economic perspective, disaster implies a loss of manpower, physical, and financial capital that may result in the reduction af economic activity such as the production of goads and services. + Political Perspective of a Disaster. At first glance, disaster is lilcely ta be less political because all individuals, regardless of societal status, may be affected by a disaster, but if we look closer, disaster is wedded with politics as to the subsequent delivery of humanitarian assistance. Furthermore, the disaster also tests the preparedness of the government when a disaster happens. Unprepared governments tend to go into react mode,when a disaster happens that may result in people suffer due to slow and inatequate response. * Biological Perspective of a Disaster. Disaster does not occur in an accident. It happens due to the combination of hazards and vulnerabilities. Hazards that are not only coming from the disaster itself that is being caused by nature or man- made. Hazards may also be biological specifically the emergence of organisms or ‘agents that may cause a new disease. FUN FACT: Did you know that after Typhoon Yolanda hit the central Visayas on November 8, 2013, there are a total of 185 samples collected from patients between November 28, 2013, to February 5, 2014, due to Acute Respiratory Infection, Acute Gasttwenteritis, and other febrile illnesses including suspected dengue fever. This only goes to show that after a natural disaster (eg, typhoon), an emergence of a new disaster, such as a possible outbreak of a disease, may happen.
