Disaster Resilience
This module has educated about the disasters that occur in the country and the way the
people and the government locate, analyze, and address this issue. In our country, there are at
least 20 typhoons that affect the lives of many Filipinos. Landslides, volcanic eruptions and
other disasters are on the list. It has become widely acknowledged that disasters are not
inevitable stumbling blocks to advancement that must be dealt with purely through the rapid
delivery of emergency relief, but are the result of unmanaged risks within the development
process itself. They form when a hazard, such as a flood or an earthquake, occurs in a places
where people, assets, and structures are exposed and vulnerable to its negative impacts.
Disaster risk can indeed be considerably reduced by implementing strategies that aim to
reduce vulnerability and exposure to hazards as part of broader efforts to address poverty and
inequality. Humanitarian responses to disasters and other crises are important for it can be
developed and constructed in ways that secure affected people’s right to life and other
fundamental rights both in the short and long term. Safety, prevention, and life must be the
priority of every individual and that will only be done if we help ourselves and if we have
tangible plans for every possible and inevitable disasters coming.
