    Natural disasters can have long-lasting negative effects. They often cause humanitarian crises by displacing large populations as climate refugees. Public health issues frequently arise after disasters when water and sanitation systems are damaged. Disasters also cause environmental damage like the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan. Economically, disasters destroy infrastructure and cost billions to repair, straining government resources. At the individual level, people experience physical, mental and emotional trauma, and some develop lasting anxieties. Communities lose economic resources, making recovery difficult. The recent Typhoon Odette in the Philippines killed 40 people and caused over $6 billion in infrastructure and agricultural damage, destroying over 500,000 homes.

    National High School STUDENT LEARNING GUIDE IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE


    Quarter III, Week 4

    Lesson 4: Natural Disasters (Part 2)

    MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCY

    No Code Available: Explain the causes and effects of natural disasters to human
    and the environment.

    In this set of activities, you should:


    1. identify the effects of natural disasters to human and environment; and
    2. determine the impacts of natural disaster.

    WHAT YOU NEED TO REMEMBER?

    Natural disasters can have long-term negative consequences beyond the immediate loss of
    life and demolition of infrastructure. Often, an area impacted by a natural disaster will
    show scars of the event for years to come. Natural disasters can have a life-altering impact
    on the individuals and families fortunate enough to survive them.

    Humanitarian
    Crises. Climate change
    and accompanying natural
    disasters have created a large migrant
    population, called climate refugees or
    environmental migrants.

    Public Health Issues are one of the most


    pressing problems after any natural disaster. It
    is often the case that facilities for water and
    toilet hygiene are damaged or inoperable:
    meaning that the safe disposal of human waste
    quickly becomes a public health hazard.

    Environmental Problems. In March 2011, a tsunami following the 9.0-magnitude Tōhoku earthquake in Japan caused
    what came to be known as the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, where radioactive material was released in Japan
    and into the Pacific Ocean. This was the largest nuclear disaster since Chernobyl, and it caused a cascade of issues in
    the ecosystem and surrounding waters, spreading radioactive material through far-ranging ocean currents.

    Infrastructural Damage. One of the most immediate and economically devastating concerns with natural disasters is
    the damage to both public and private infrastructure. These events can cause billions of dollars in damages, and not all
    governments are equipped to fund the process of post-disaster cleanup and rebuilding.

    Impacts of Natural Disasters


    1. Individual Impact
    At the individual level, the impact can often be felt physically,
    mentally and emotionally. After experiencing a natural disaster, many
    individuals develop severe post-traumatic stress disorders or withdraw
    into states of depression. Others develop negative associations with the
    environment, in more developed nations; this can also lead to
    significant population migrations.

    2. Community Impact.

    Communities that experience a natural disaster must also absorb the


    impacts of these destructive events. Many local communities
    lose so much in economic resources that recovery becomes
    difficult, if not almost impossible.

    3. Economic Impact
    Recently in 2021, The number of fatalities due to Typhoon Odette has
    reached 40. NDRRMC pegged the destructive typhoon's damage to
    infrastructure and agriculture at P16.71 billion and more than P6.68
    billion, respectively. It is also reported that Typhoon Odette destroyed
    532,000 homes, leaving over 169,000 completely in ruins. The cost of
    damage is estimated at P28.16 million. Over 4.4 million individuals from
    38 provinces were affected after Odette pummeled the country for several
    days.
