    Hazard refers to anything that can cause damage to people, animals, or property. A hazard event is the set of circumstances that causes harm. Hazard assessment identifies potential threats and determines the likelihood and impact of their occurrence. Common approaches in the Philippines include communication between disaster management councils from the barangay to provincial levels. Hazard mapping identifies areas at risk of natural disasters. Hazards can be natural, quasi-natural resulting from human and natural factors, or technological from industrial accidents. They have primary, secondary, and tertiary effects.

    like earthquake, ground subsidence, tsunami, and flash floods.

    Hazard Mapping in the Philippines is performed by:


    DENR (Department of Environment and Natural Resources)
    PHIVOLCS (Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology)
    PAGASA (Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services
    Administration)
    DOST (Department of Science and Technology)

    CLASSIFICATION OF
    HAZARDS
    Natural Hazards

    It is caused by forces in our environment


    that disrupts human activity, or that may cause
    damage or injury to life and property.

    11
    Quasi-Natural Hazards
    These are hazards which resulted from natural
    process and intervention of human activities.

    12
    Technological Hazards

    Those arising from industrial conditions like


    accidents and equipment malfunction which may
    cause loss of lives of people, animals, and properties.

    According to Center for Environmental Geomatics:

    Natural Hazards
    Any natural process which has the possibility to cause
    damage to life and property.

    ▪ Climate and weather-related hazards


    ▪ Geophysical Hazards (earthquakes, earthquake-induced
    landslides, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions)
    20
    21
    According to Center for Environmental Geomatics:

    Anthropogenic Hazards
    It includes pollution, deforestation, mining and climate
    change.

    22
    According to Center for Environmental Geomatics:

    Other classifications of hazards:


    1. Multiple hazards
    2. Secondary hazards
    3. Chronic hazards

    23
    Natural Hazards and Human Intervention

    1. Human intervention has direct impact to natural


    hazards.
    2. Human intervention may also result to the
    emergence of another hazard.
    3. Human intervention may diminish the natural
    characteristics of the environment to reduce the
    risk of hazard.
    24
    25
    THE IMPACT OF
    VARIOUS HAZARDS
    Primary Effect

    These are those which occur as a consequence of


    hazard itself.

    27
    Secondary Effect
    These are the result or outcome of primary effects of hazards.

    28
    Tertiary Effect

    These are long-term effects as a result of a
