Introduction:
Hazards are inevitable part of our everyday lives. Hazards may or may not lead
to disaster, the severity of which depends on the level of vulnerability and exposure of
the affected community and its exposed elements. We are not just dealing with
natural hazards (e.g., earthquakes, typhoons, fires) but also man-made hazards
resulting from the advancing technology of the modern world.
I. Essential Ideas
IMPACTS OF HAZARDS
1. Physical elements – people, buildings, roads, poles, bridges, and all other
material objects may be ruined by hazards. Volcanic eruptions, explosions,
fire, or lightning may instantly burn or incinerate objects that it comes in
contact with. Cracks, fissures or total damage may happen if tremors, if
explosions, and landslide takes place.
2. Socioeconomic elements- the impacts will induce adaptation on the part of
the affected community. They will tend to create new operations or ways of
27
living that can withstand the next possible occurrence of the same hazard.
In the economic point of view, areas most frequented by hazard usually
would have lower standards of living or poor living conditions. The positive
impacts on the socioeconomic elements may be in the form of introducing
new habits, practices, or values that may be geared toward the values of
resiliency and recovery
3. Environmental elements- the exposed environmental elements to natural
hazards may have disastrous impact on the ecosystem and to other
organisms. Natural hazards are natural events and hence part of the
natural cycle of the Earth, the occurrence may benefit certain components
of Earth. For instance, the ashes spewed out during the eruption of Mt.
Pinatubo revealed to have made some soils in Zambales fertile.
