Hazard
Hazard: a potentially damaging
physical event, phenomenon, or
human activity that may cause injury,
property damage, social and economic
disruption, environmental degradation
or loss of life.
Impact
Impact: the manifestation (realisation)
of the destructive forces of hazards
that destroy life and properties.
Exposure Units
Exposure units: the sectors or groups
that are impacted upon.
- Stronger the coping capacity, weaker
the impact -
Capacity
Capacity: a combination of all the
strengths and resources available
within a community, society or
organization that can reduce the level
of risk or the effects of a disaster.
Vulnerability
Vulnerability: the conditions
determined by physical, social,
economic and environmental factors
or processes which increase the
susceptibility (inability to withstand) of a
community to the impact of hazards.
(Antonym – Resilient)
Risk
Risk: the probability (likely, ‘chance’)
of harmful consequences, or expected
losses/damage (injuries, property,
livelihood, economic activity disrupted or
environment damaged, deaths) resulting
from interaction between natural or
human-induced hazards and
vulnerable exposure units.
Disaster
Disaster: “a serious disruption of the
functioning of society, causing
widespread human, material or
environmental losses which exceed the
capacity of exposure units to cope
using only its own resources.”
Disaster
Disaster is “Realised Risk”
…Risk equations =>
Risk Management 2/3
ISDR Risk Equation:
Hazard x Vulnerability = Risk
Capacity
Realised Risk is Disaster
Risk Management 1/3
Hazard - Mitigation = Vulnerability
Realised Risk is Disaster
Risk Management 3/3
Impact - Adaptation = Vulnerability
Realised Risk is Disaster
Response Measures
Mitigation: source ↓ & sink ↑
Adaptation: coping with consequences
