2 major classifications of disaster:

Natural Man-Made

Effects of disaster

Human Impact Environmental Danger Infrastructure Damage

Different Kinds of Hazards

Classification of Earthquakes Based on Cause:

Tectonic Earthquakes Volcanic Earthquakes Collapse Earthquakes Explosion Earthquakes

Landslides

The sudden and rapid movement of a large amount of material down a slope produce by earthquakes or incessant heavy rainfall, w/ch also predisposes the area to sinkhole development and eventually cause massive destruction.

Tropical Storm Uring

Thelma deadliest tropical cyclones in Philippine history, killing at least 5,081 people. (wiki)

Lahar

a destructive mudflow on the slopes of a volcano.

Tsunami

a long high sea wave caused by an earthquake, submarine landslide, or other disturbance. also known as "seismic sea waves" can travel hundreds of miles over the open sea and destroy lands with waves as high as 100 ft or more

Geological Hazard

an extreme natural events in the crust of the earth that pose a threat to life and property, for example, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis (tidal waves) and landslides

Ballistic Projectile

are Volcanic rock materials directly ejected from the volcano's vent with force and trajectory

Ground Shaking

created by seismic Earth movements, when the ground shakes strongly building may collapse and their occupants may be wounded or die.

Physical Impact

death of people destruction and loss of vital infrastructure wide spread loss of housing

Earthquake-induced ground subsidence

lowering of land due to earthquake on a fault line can produce large portion of land to sink during an earthquake

Volcanic Earthquakes

produces tremors that occur before or after an explosion

Tectonic Earthquakes

slack movable fragments of lands or the Earth's crust

Recovery Phase

slow return to normal life after a disaster.
