Visayasthird largest island with 57,000 sq. kms.located in the central Philippines, has a severe dissection of topography due to its exposure to typhoons from Pacific and torrential rains characterized by mountains and hills (where peaks reach 900m), river basins, floodplains, plateaus and valleys

Mindanaosecond largest island with 102,000 sq. kms.has diverse structural elements and different forms of physiographic development including fault block mountains, volcanic peaks, uplifted plateaus, low flat basins, a notable fault zone which also cuts through Luzon and Visayas, fissure low masses, and incised valleys and canyons. Major mountain ranges: the Eastern or Pacific Cordillera, the Bukidnon- Davao Range.

The Philippine Islands are part of the so-called Ring of Fire, an area encircling the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes and volcanic activity result from the movements of tectonic plates, or segments of Earth’s crust.
Surrounded by two major plates: Eurasian and Pacific300 volcanoes, 22 as activeaverage of 20 quakes per day
average of 20 typhoons a year, five (5) of these are destructive 36, 289 kms of coastline vulnerable to tsunami From 1970-2006, annual average direct damage to disasters
ranged from PHP 5 Billion to PHP 15 Billion, indirect and secondary affect further increase this cost.
Cost of direct damage is equivalent to more than 0.5 % of the national GDP
Annual average casualties due to natural disasters – 972

DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT
PRINCIPLES AND TRENDS
![Page 26: Disaster Risk Reduction and Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5551c3f4b4c905ca7f8b5457/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Principles• Disaster management is the responsibility of all
spheres of government.• Disaster management should use resources that
exist for a day-to-day purpose.• Organizations should function as an extension of
their core business.• Individuals are responsible for their own safety.• Disaster management planning should focus on
large-scale events.
![Page 27: Disaster Risk Reduction and Management](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5551c3f4b4c905ca7f8b5457/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• Disaster management planning should recognize the difference between incidents and disasters.
• Disaster management operational arrangements are additional to and do not replace incident management operational arrangements.
• Disaster management planning must take account of the type of physical environment and the structure of the population.
• Disaster management arrangements must recognize the involvement and potential role of non- government agencies.

Trends• The Overall Number of People Affected by Disasters
Is Rising• The Number of People Killed in Disasters Worldwide
is falling• Overall, Disasters Are Becoming More Costly• Poor Countries Are Disproportionately Affected by
Disaster Consequences• The Number of Disasters Is Increasing Each Year
