An Earthquake is....

Caused by movements

along faults. As stress

continues to build in

these rocks they reach

their elastic limit, break

and produce an

earthquake.

Classes of Natural Earthquake

10

Tectonic – caused by

stresses set up by

movements of a dozen

or so huge plates that

form the earth’s crust.

Volcanic – not so

destructive, it is often

preceded or

accompanied by

volcanic eruption.

FAULT- movement of the Earth’s crust

causing a fractures or system of

fructures.

TYPES OF FAULT LINES

1. REVERSE FAULT- occurs when

land compresses horizontally.

2. NORMAL FAULT- occurs when

land separates from one another

horizontally.

3. STRIKE-SLIP FAULT- occurs

when land slides left and right of

one another horizontally.

Center of energy release during an earthquake

Focus - center of energy

release during an

earthquake.

Epicenter – point in the

surface directly above

the focus.

Magnitude – indicates the amount of energy

released at the source (epicentre).

Intensity - indicates the violence of earth

motion produced there by an earthquake.

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS

AND MANAGEMENT:

Key to Building Disaster-Resilient Communities



DISASTER MANAGEMENT

A collective term encompassing all aspects of planning,

preparing and responding to disasters. It refers to the

management of the consequences of disasters.

DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT

Stresses on proactive disaster management responses of prevention, mitigation and

preparedness.

Disaster Management

“the efficient and effective

use of resources to manage

the processes of relief,

recovery, reconstruction and

mitigation”.

PRINCIPLES OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT

Disaster management is the responsibility of all

spheres of society.

Individuals are responsible for their own safety.

Disaster management should focus on large-

scale events.

Disaster management must recognize the

involvement and potential role of NGOs.

IMPACT STAGE

1. PREPAREDNESS…

“measures taken in anticipation of a disaster

to ensure that appropriate and effective

actions are taken in the aftermath”.


“THIS IS AN INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY AND COMMUNITY

PREPARATION IN ADVANCE OF ANY POSSIBLE

DISASTER. ORGANIZATION AND TRAINING IN

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS ARE KEYS TO YOUR

EFFECTIVE, AGGRESSIVE, COHERENT, AND

SUSTAINED DISASTER RESPONSE.

3. RESPONSE…

‘‘immediate reaction to occurrence of a

disaster in order to assess the needs, reduce

the suffering, limit the spread of its effects

and open a way for rehabilitation”.

Mass evacuation

Search and rescue

Emergency medical services

Ensuring Food and water supply

Maintenance of law & order

4. RECOVERY…

‘‘the process undertaken by a disaster

affected community to fully restore to a pre-

disaster level of functioning”.

PHASES OF RECOVERY

1. REHABILITATION

2. RECONSTRUCTION

3. DEVELOPMENT

REHABILITATION

Actions taken in the aftermath of disaster to assist the victims repair their

dwellings, re-establish essential services and revive economic and social activities.

RECONSTRUCTION

Permanent measures to replace damaged dwellings, lifelines and infrastructures and to set economy back in motion.

DEVELOPMENT

Sustained efforts intended to improve or maintain the social and economic well-

being of a community.

5. MITIGATION…

‘‘ Measures taken prior to the impact of a

disaster to minimize its effects”.

COMPONENTS OF DISASTER MITIGATION

Risk AnalysisPreventionHazard Identification and

MappingVulnerability Analysis

RISK ANALYSIS

Determining the nature and scale of losses which can be anticipated in a

particular area.

Probability of a hazard of a particular magnitude Elements at risk Nature of vulnerability

PREVENTION

Activities taken to prevent a natural phenomenon or potential hazard from

having harmful effects on either people or economic assets.

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION & MAPPING

Estimating probability of a damaging phenomenon of given magnitude in a given area.

Considerations: History Probability of various intensities Maximum threat Possible secondary hazards

VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS

A process which results in an understanding of the types and levels of exposure of persons, property and the environment in relation to the effects of identified hazards at a particular time.

DON’T PANIC, stay calm!

Do the “Duck, Cover, and Hold” position.

Duck – And Look for Cover

Cover – Under a Sturdy Desk or Table

Hold – Onto the Furniture Leg Until Shaking Stops

If indoor:

SAMPLE OF DUCK, COVER AND HOLD VIDEO

• Stay inside until shaking stops; move only when it is safe to go out.

• Face away from windows.

• Stay clear of tall objects that may topple over.

• Watch for falling objects.

• Do not use elevator in going down.

If indoor:

• Get into the open areas.

• Stay clear of buildings & power lines.

• Do not smoke or light matches or lighters.

• If Driving:

o Stop as quickly as safety permits and stay inside the vehicle.

o Avoid stopping near or under the trees, light posts, power lines or buildings.

o Stay away from bridges, overpasses & tunnels.

If outdoor:

• Stay calm & get prepared for aftershocks.

• Check for injuries & administer First Aid to the degree you are trained for.

• Check for obvious hazards & damages on your house.

• Do not turn on or off any lighting or electrical devices.

• Listen to the radio for updates and instructions.

• Use emergency supplies only if necessary.

• Do not use telephones, except during extreme cases or emergencies.

o Make Sure Phone is on the Hook to Receive Emergency Information Calls

TIPS ON HOW TO ENHANCE

SURVIBILITY IF TRAPPED

UNDER THE DEBRIS

1. Avoid unnecessary movement so

that you will not kick up dust.

2. Maintain moral and fighting spirits

high.

3. Periodically move your fingers and

toes to ensure blood circulation.

4. Cover your mouth and nose with a

piece of cloth or anything you have

on hand.

1. Do not shout and shout; shout

only as a last resort.

2. Tap on pipe or wall so that

rescuers can hear where you

are.

3. If available use a flashlight to

signal your location.

Note : Shout can cause a person to inhale

dangerous amounts of dust.
