    This document contains a student's notes and activities from a module on disaster readiness and risk reduction. It includes the student's responses to various questions and activities about identifying risk factors, such as poverty, gender issues, and health and well-being. The student lists three things they learned: the three elements of disaster risk, factors that should be considered like vulnerability, and underlying factors like climate change. They also list two interesting things about mental health issues in developing countries and underlying disaster factors. The document concludes with additional proposed activities related to exposure, disaster risk, vulnerability, and potential impacts.

    What I Have Learned

    Exit Ticket

    Have you learned so much from this module? What are the three things that you learned today? What are the two things
    you found interesting?

    3 Things I Learned Today

    1. Disaster Risk has three important elements: Exposure, Hazard and Vulnerability
    2. The severity of exposure, gender and family, age, and economic status of the country should be taken into
    consideration when risk factor underlie disaster
    3. There are also factors which underlie disasters which are climate change, environmental degradation, poverty
    and inequality, poorly planned and managed urban development, globalized economic development, and
    weak governance.

    2 Things I Found Interesting

    1. The mental health issues are more prevalent in developing countries just like the Philippines
    2. That there are factors which underlie disasters.

    1 Question I Have

    1. What will happen to us, humans, if we don’t take immediate measures to our own actions done to Mother Nature?

    Activity 1.4: AM I READY?

    ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS

    There is no doubt that human activity is hugely responsible for damaging the environment. The
    fact that concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased by more than a third since the
    industrial revolution highlights our impact. Therefore, it is our responsibility to improve our
    environmental awareness and change our behavior.
    The rise in greenhouse gas emissions contributes to the enhanced greenhouse effect, which has
    caused global temperatures to rise. These gases also cause air, land and water pollution.
    Pollution affects the quality of food, which might cause the ingestion of toxic substances.
    Poorer air quality also poses severe risks to human health.
    Deforestation is another example of how human activity is impacting the environment. Forests
    provide us with raw materials such as food and medicine. Trees are also an important 'carbon
    sink', which means they help to balance out the concentrations of carbon dioxide in the
    atmosphere by absorbing it during photosynthesis. With less trees, we are enhancing the
    greenhouse effect which means global temperatures are rising. This causes drastic climate
    changes such as hurricanes, droughts and floods.
    Issues such as climate change are also putting many species at risk of extinction as they cannot
    adapt to the new weather conditions. All ecosystems are connected, so the extinction of a
    species that may seem inconsequential has substantial consequences for humanity. For
    example, many people aren't aware of the severe risks associated with the decline of
    honeybees. Due to their reputation for nasty stings and ruining BBQs, some individuals may
    even feel excited by the prospect of bee extinction. Other than the revolutionary discovery that
    putting honey in porridge equals the perfect breakfast, we have little appreciation for bees.
    However, they are responsible for pollinating 35% of the 100 crop species responsible for most
    of our food. Therefore, the extinction of honeybees has a direct relationship with the
    sustainability of humanity's food supply. This highlights how a creature we might consider
    simply annoying as an essential component of our survival as a species. Even if the link between
    our behaviour and the severe environmental issues isn't clear, it doesn't mean we won't be
    affected by the consequences. This is why it's so important to take responsibility for protecting
    the environment wherever we can.
    As we are all responsible for damaging the environment, it is important for everyone to
    improve their environmental awareness. It is especially imperative to teach children about the
    importance of environmental awareness, to ensure that the lives of future generations are
    secure. As things stand, it's the future generations that will be most affected by our actions.
    Therefore, we must equip our children with the tools necessary to behave in a responsible and
    informed way towards the environment.
