Let's Talk about Disaster Management Part 3! 💡 The four phases of disaster Management are: 1. Hazard Mitigation 2. Disaster Preparedness 3. Disaster Response 4. Disaster Recovery Hazard Mitigation generally refers to efforts undertaken before an event to reduce or eliminate the risk from natural hazards that may affect human life and property. In some simple words, we can define Hazard Mitigation as structural and nonstructural. for example structural engineering solutions such as dams, leaves, and seawalls. while the Nonstructural is the policy-related solutions. 🏝 Disaster Preparedness and Response, preparedness is about doing things that need to be done to make a community ready to respond when threatened or hit by disaster. The response is the activation of the plan and preparedness activities in response to threats or disaster events. 🤔 Disaster Recovery consists of actions taken to repair, build, and reconstruct damaged properties and to restore disrupted community social routines and economic activities. those are some simple definitions of the 4 stages. #social #disaster #seawall #engineering #prepare #response

Resilient Infrastructure in Disaster Preparedness When disaster strikes, infrastructure plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and well-being of communities. In the Philippines, a country prone to natural disasters such as typhoons, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, the role of public works in disaster preparedness is more important than ever. What is Resilient Infrastructure? Resilient infrastructure refers to the ability of infrastructure systems to withstand and recover from natural disasters and other hazards. This includes roads, bridges, buildings, and other physical structures that support the functioning of a community. In the context of disaster preparedness, resilient infrastructure is essential for reducing the impact of disasters on communities and ensuring a quick recovery. The Role of Public Works in Disaster Preparedness Public works, which include the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure, play a key role in disaster preparedness. In the Philippines, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is tasked with ensuring that the country's infrastructure is resilient to ...

Building Community Resilience: The Importance of PVCA In disaster management, particularly in flood-prone areas, recognizing and addressing community capacities and vulnerabilities is crucial for fostering resilience. Tailored disaster management strategies that align with the unique strengths and weaknesses of local communities promote effective, inclusive, and sustainable initiatives. A key tool in this process is the Participatory Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment (PVCA), which engages community members in identifying threats and assessing their capabilities. This collaborative approach not only empowers communities but also cultivates a sense of ownership and readiness. Moreover, integrating anticipatory actions into the disaster management cycle marks a vital shift from reactive to proactive strategies. By establishing frameworks that enhance both vulnerability mitigation and community capacity, we can learn from successful initiatives, such as those in Nepal, to inform global disaster risk reduction efforts. The action plan outlined serves as a blueprint for future initiatives aimed at reducing flood impacts and ensuring a sustainable future for vulnerable communities. Ultimately, by applying participatory methods, disaster managers can empower communities to build resilience, contributing to safer environments and more effective disaster responses.

Trust, risk, and perception of danger are at the forefront of disaster mitigation. When it comes to informing the public about the need to prepare, the media has an important role. Studies show that the media can play a vital role in informing people's risk perception, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡.

For those not sure what to expect, where to evacuate, what to bring, where to get reliable local information, or how soon to prepare to leave, media reports are crucial. For municipalities that have experienced significant recent population growth, incorporating robust media relations into disaster mitigation and management plans should take on increased importance.
