Super Typhoon Haiyan, also known as Super Typhoon Yolanda, made


landfall in the Philippines on November 8, 2013, as a Category 5 storm. It laid waste
, and home to 17 million
people. Haiyan was the most powerful storm in 2013 and one of the most powerful
typhoons of all time.

1. Why is Typhoon Haiyan also called Typhoon Yolanda?

2. Why was Typhoon Haiyan a super typhoon?

3. What are the precautionary measures that you do with your family before,
during, and after a typhoon?
LESSON
What makes an event a disaster? Why is one typhoon a disaster and the next
one, even with stronger winds, is just a bad storm? Is this just an accountability of
the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration
(PAGASA) the agency responsible for assessing and forecasting the weather, flood,
and other conditions essential to the safety and welfare of the Filipinos?

Which figures show a disaster? Why?

Disasters are extreme events that cause great loss to life and property. It
poses a serious threat to normal life as well as the process of development and strike
with sudden violence, tearing bodies, destroying lives and structures and throwing
apart families.

considered to be an outcome of some unfavorable star.

What makes an event a disaster? Why is one typhoon or flood a disaster and
the next one, even with stronger winds, is just a bad storm?

The answer lies with how the population is eventually affected: both the
direct effects on the people as well as the indirect effects or damage to
infrastructure. Disasters are often described as a result of the combination of the
exposure to a hazard; the conditions of vulnerability that are present; and
insufficient capacity or measures to reduce or cope with the potential negative
consequences.

Disasters impact may include loss of life, injury, diseases, and other negative
effects on human physical, mental and social well-being, together with damage to
property, destruction of assets, loss of service, social and economic disruption, and
environmental degradation. A disaster disrupts the normal pattern of life, causing
both physical and emotional suffering and an overwhelming sense of helplessness
and hopelessness. It is the people who matter most, and without the people, we
have no disaster.
Any hazard flood, earthquake or cyclone/typhoon which is a triggering
event along with greater vulnerability (inadequate access to resources, sick and old
people, lack of awareness, etc.) would lead to disaster causing greater loss to life
and property. For example: an earthquake in an uninhabited desert cannot be
considered a disaster, no matter how strong the intensities produced. An
How do we consider hazards a disaster?
earthquake is disastrous only when it affects people, their properties, and activities.

Definition of Disaster

wide spread material, economic, social or environmental losses which exceed
the ability of the affected society to cope using its own resources.

is a result from the combination of hazard, vulnerability and insufficient


capacity or measures to reduce the potential chances of risk.

a disaster happens when a hazard impacts on the vulnerable population and


causes damage, casualties and disruption.

a serious disruption of the functioning of a society, causing widespread


human, material or environmental losses which exceed the ability of the
affected society to cope using only its own resources.
