    HAZARD
    CHAPTER 3
    DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND READINESS
    HAZAR
    D
    • Elements of the physical environment, harmful
    to man and caused by forces extraneous to him.
    • A source of potential harm or situation with a
    potential to cause loss
    • A natural event that has the potential to cause a
    harm or loss
    • A phenomenon or situation, which has the
    potential to cause the disruption or damage to
    people, their services and their environment
    GENERAL CLASSIFICATION OF
    HAZARD
    1. Natural hazard such as earthquakes or floods
    arise from purely natural processes in the
    environment.
    2. Quasi – natural hazard such as smog or
    desertification that arise through the interaction
    of natural processes and human activity.
    3. Technological (or human – made) hazards such
    as the toxicity of pesticides to agricultural
    lands, accidental leaks of chemicals from
    chemical laboratories or radiation from a
    nuclear plant. These arise directly as a result of
    human activities.
    TYPES OF
    HAZARD
    Atmospheric

    (Single Element) (Combined Element)


    Excess Rainfall Hurricanes
    Freezing Rain (Glaze) Glaze storm
    Hail Thunderstorm
    Heavy Snow Falls Blizzard

    HAZARD
    Hydrologic
    • Floods
    • Wave Action
    • Drought
    • Rapid glacier advance
    Geologic
    • Mass movement (Landslides, Mudslides, Avalanche)
    • Tsunami
    • Earthquake
    • Volcanic Eruption
    • Rapid sediment movement
    TYPES OF
    HAZARD
    Biologic
    • Epidemic in humans, plants, animals
    • Locusts

    Technologic
    • Transportation accident
    • Industrial explosions and fire
    • Accidental release of toxic elements
    • Nuclear accidents
    • Collapse of public buildings
    • Cyber Terrorism
    IMPACTS OF VARIOUS ON
    DIFFERENT EXPOSED ELEMENTS
    According to the International Center for
    integrated Mountain Development the
    (ICIMOD)
    impacts of various hazards vary in severity and vary in
    regard to how long they last. In many ways wealth and
    development assist in the way people recover from
    hazards. A more economically developed country can
    prepare for and predict hazards more effectively and they
    have more resources to support a faster recovery. However
    there is also a need for resilience. In many developing
    countries people who experienced hardship can often
    recover more quickly from hazard
