RP DISASTER RISK PROFILE

RP is vulnerable to almost all types of natural

hazards because of its geographical location

RP DISASTER RISK PROFILE

The Philippine Archipelago occupies the western rim of the Pacific Ocean (Western Segment of the Pacific Ring of Fire), a most active part of the earth that is characterized by an oceanencircling belt of active volcanoes and earthquake generators (faults).

RP DISASTER RISK PROFILE As an archipelago with 7,107 islands, the threat of tsunami affecting the country’s coastal areas is not far-fetched.

Disasters, whether natural or human-made, affect everyone, especially the poor, children, women and elderly, who have the least capability to deal with disasters.

DISASTER – is an event, whether natural, human-induced or technological; progressive or sudden, which impacts with severity that the affected community will have a disruption of its normal functioning and have to do an exceptional measures. Infanta, Quezon Nov. 2004

From 1994 to 2005, some 2.5 billion* people were affected by natural disasters alone worldwide, which is an increase of 60% over the past decade. More than 478,000* people were killed during this period. Infanta, Quezon Nov. 2004

RP DISASTER RISK PROFILE For natural hazards, almost 38% of natural disasters occurs in ASIA; almost 60% of the world’s victims of natural disasters come from ASIA, and around the 50% of financial loss is also from ASIA.

RP DISASTER RISK PROFILE

• Emerging Global Concerns: Terrorism, Climate Change/Global Warming Avian Influenza

RP DISASTER RISK PROFILE

Yearly, the country experiences an average of twenty (20) tropical cyclones, half of these are destructive, including other weather hazards such as thunderstorm, heavy rainfall, southwest and northeast monsoons, cold front and ITCZ; is a host to 300 volcanoes, twenty-two (22) of which are active, together with active faults and trenches that are potential sources of earthquakes.

RP DISASTER RISK PROFILE

In 2004, the country experienced twenty-five (25) weather disturbances, four of these occurring successively in November and first week of December, which brought massive landslides and flooding in the towns of Real, Infanta and General Nakar, Quezon Province, Dingalan, Aurora and Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija

RP DISASTER RISK PROFILE

Typhoon “Milenyo” last September 28, 2006 affected 9 regions; leaving 184 dead; 536 injured; 47 missing and more than P6.5 B cost of damage

RP DISASTER RISK PROFILE

Typhoon “Paeng” last Oct. 30, 2006 affecting 4 regions in Luzon; 27 dead; 65 injured and 23 missing; P 615,449,792.83 cost of damage

RP DISASTER RISK PROFILE

Typhoon “Reming” last November 28, 2006 affected 3 regions; leaving 734 dead; 2,360 injured; 762 missing and P 5,448,609,476.00 cost of damage

RP DISASTER RISK PROFILE

On February 17, 2006, another landslide hit Southern Leyte that almost wiped out the entire 480 hectares in Brgy. Guinsaugon, one of the 16 villages of the town of St. Bernard, leaving in its wake 154 dead, 28 injured, 410 registered survivors and 968 still missing

RP DISASTER RISK PROFILE

The country has also its episodes of human-made disasters such as urban fires, air & sea mishaps, and complex emergency, mostly in Southern Philippines because of the secessionist movement, coupled with its vulnerability to floods and other natural hazards.

RP DISASTER RISK PROFILE

The sinking of MT Solar I at Luzaran Point, Guimaras Island last August 11, 2006 has resulted in the spillage of 200,000 liters of industrial fuel oil, the largest oil spill in the country affecting 3 provinces and 38 municipalities with 3,357 families or 16,785 persons affected population

RP DISASTER RISK PROFILE Between 1970 to 2005, the Philippines incurred an average annual direct damage of PHP 61 Billion due to disasters. This is equivalent to more than 0.5% of the national GDP per year. The indirect and secondary impacts of these disasters further increase this cost.

While the national and local governments are primarily responsible for disaster management, however, everybody is equally responsible to undertake disaster preparedness, mitigation, response and rehabilitation activities to prevent or reduce disaster risks and ensure one’s survival and safety during emergency situations.

DM Trends in RP < up to ’70’s

 Disaster Response - Relief and Rehabilitation

DM Trends in RP `80’s

 Disaster Preparedness & Response - Measures taken prior, during & shortly after disaster event (relief & rehabilitation)

DM Trends in RP `90’s - 2000

 Disaster Preparedness & Response  Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR) - Disasters and Development

DM Trends in RP 2001 to Present

 Disaster Preparedness & Response  Disaster and Development  Natural Disaster Risk Reduction - Puts emphasis on actions taken in addressing disaster risks & vulnerability of communities to hazards.

 NOTIFICATION - mobilization of response teams, activation of SOPs, DOCs & ICS.



THE “GOLDEN HOUR” PRINCIPLE - the time within which lives could be saved and injuries minimized

 INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM - on-scene management of disaster operations activities

REHABILITATION Measures taken to restore affected communities/areas to their proper or normal level of functioning or actual condition prior to the occurrence of the disaster or calamity

 FOR THE SHORT TERM - restoring necessary lifeline systems (e.g. power, communication, water & sewage, transportation, etc) - providing for basic human needs (food, clothing, shelter) - monitoring law and order providing CISD, etc.
