WHAT IS A NATURAL DISASTER ?
The definition of natural disasters is any catastrophic event that is caused by nature or the
natural processes of the earth.
The severity of a disaster is measured in lives lost, economic loss, and the ability of the
population to rebuild.
Wikipedia defines it as,

"A disaster is a natural or man-made event that negatively affects life, property, livelihood or industry often
resulting in permanent changes to human societies, ecosystems and environment."

What are the differences between natural and
man made disaster ?
Natural disaster are caused by natural forces
NATURAL Steps can be taken to minimize the effects
DISASTER Example : Tsunamis, floods, landslides, hurricanes, wildfires, droughts, volcanic
eruption, etc.
MAN
VS
Man made disasters are caused by the activities of men
MADE Can be avoided with careful planning and prevention methods
Example : Hazardous material spills, explosions, chemical or biological attacks,

TSUNAMI
What is Tsunami?
A tsunami or tidal wave is a series of waves in a water body
caused by the displacement of a large volume of water,
generally in an ocean or a large lake.
Tsunami waves do not resemble normal undersea currents

or sea waves, because their wavelength is far longer rather
than appearing as a breaking wave.
Type of Tsunami
Local Tsunami
This is a tsunami where its destructive effects are experienced on

coasts within 100 km from the source of the tsunami. In such cases,
the travel time for the tsunami is generally less than one (1) hour.
It generated by an earthquake, but can also be caused by a landslide

or a pyroclastic flow from a volcanic eruption.
Locally generated tsunamis are especially dangerous.
This type of tsunami may reach a nearby shore in less than ten
minutes.
Regional Tsunami
A tsunami capable of destruction in a particular area which

lies between 100 km - 1,000 km form the source of the
tsunami.
Regional tsunamis can take between 1-3 hours to reach the

affected shoreline.
The most destructive tsunamis can be classified as local or

regional.
Distant Tsunami
Also referred to as a tele-tsunami or ocean-wide tsunami, distant

tsunamis originate from a far away source (more than 1000 km away)
and generally take more than 3 hours to arrive at affected coasts.
These types of tsunamis allow more time for the Warning Centre to
collect data and issue precise bulletins, and for local officials to
communicate warning information and alert the vulnerable populations.
Causes of Tsunami?
A tsunami is a series of large waves generated by an abrupt movement on the
ocean floor that can result from an earthquake, an underwater landslide, a
volcanic eruption or very rarely or a large meteorite strike.
The friction between two slow-moving plates of the Earth's crust creates vast
amounts of seismic energy which is released in the form of an earthquake.
When a strong undersea earthquake strikes a relatively short distance below the
sea floor, it abruptly pushes up one of the immense plates of the Earth's crust.
That suddenly displaces an enormous amount of ocean water which becomes a

tsunami, spreading outward in every direction from the epicenter of an
earthquake - like ripples on a pond, only on a much larger scale.
How it happened?
Rising to the Tsunami Challenges
In Indonesia, disaster risk reduction is a major pillar of the countrys
development strategy.
The Indian Ocean tsunami warning system installed following the

2004 tsunami ensured that warnings were issued within five minutes
of an 8.6 earthquake being felt in Banda Aceh on April 11, 2012;
ensuing events demonstrated the importance of holding drills and
educating the population on evacuation procedures.
Poverty, inappropriate land use and building codes, the

disappearance of protective eco-systems such as mangrove forests,
weak governance, population growth in coastal areas are all factors
which drive exposure and vulnerability to floods and storms, the two
most common natural hazards.
The Effects of Tsunami
Destruction
The amount of energy and water contained in a huge tsunami can cause
extreme destruction when it strikes land.
The initial wave of a huge tsunami is extremely tall.
Most of the damage is caused by the huge mass of water behind the initial
wave front, as the height of the sea keeps rising fast and floods powerfully
into the coastal area.
It is the power behind the waves, the endless rushing water that causes
devastation and loss of life.
Death
One of the biggest and worst effects of a tsunami is the cost to human life
because unfortunately escaping a tsunami is nearly impossible.
Hundreds and thousands of people are killed by tsunamis.
Since 1850 alone, tsunamis have been responsible for the loss of more than
430,000 lives.
People living in coastal regions, towns and villages have no time to escape.
The violent force of the tsunami results in instant death, most commonly by
drowning.
The tsunami of December 2004 that struck South East Asia and East Africa
killed over 31,000 people in Sri Lanka only, leaving 23,000 injured.
Disease
Tsunami waves and the receding water are very destructive to

structures in the run-up zone.
The areas close to the coast are flooded with sea water, damaging the
infrastructure such as sewage and fresh water supplies for drinking.
Illnesses such as malaria arise when water is stagnant and

contaminated.
Under these conditions it is difficult for people to stay healthy and for
diseases to be treated, so infections and illnesses can spread very
quickly, causing more death.
Environmental impacts
A tsunami changes the landscape.
It uproots trees and plants and destroys animal habitats such as

nesting sites for birds.
Land animals are killed by drowning and sea animals are killed by
pollution if dangerous chemicals are washed away into the sea, thus
poisoning the marine life.
The impact of a tsunami on the environment relates not only to the

landscape and animal life, but also to the man-made aspects of the
environment.
Psychological effects
Victims of tsunami events often suffer psychological problems which

can last for days, years or an entire lifetime.
These people were suffering from grief and depression as their homes,
businesses and loved ones were taken from them.
How to survive a Tsunami?
Learn about the potential for danger in advance
It is important to consider whether or not you live somewhere that could

potentially face a tsunami.
It is likely that you are at some risk if your home, school, or workplace is in a
coastal region, near the sea.
The elevation of your home, school or workplace is at sea level or fairly low
and on flat or only slightly undulating land. If you don't know the elevation
level of your home, school or workplace, find out.
Some local authorities use elevation as a warning indicator.

Be aware if tsunamis have struck your coastal
region in the past
Do some library research or ask at the local government

office.
Please be alert to any sign of tsunami

Prepare essential materials in an easy-to-obtain location
If a tsunami hits, chances are you'll need a few survival items, and
you'll need them fast. It can be helpful to have both a safety and
survival pack already assembled:
Make a safety pack. Food, water, and a first aid kit are among the basics
required.
Keep the safety pack somewhere obvious, well-known to everyone in the building
and easy to grab in an emergency. It can also help to leave a raincoat or other
coat for each person near the safety pack.
Make a personal survival pack for each person in the family, and a family survival
pack with common items for everyone. Include a supply of necessary medications
for each member of the family. Don't forget survival items for your pets.
Dos and Donts
You should find out if your home, school, workplace, or other frequently visited locations
are in tsunami hazard areas along sea-shore.
Know the height of your street above sea level and the distance of your street from the
coast or other high-risk waters. (Local administration may put sign boards).
If your children's school is in an identified inundation zone, find out what the school
evacuation plan is and practice that evacuation routes.
Use a Weather Radio or stay tuned to a local radio or television station to keep informed
of local watches and warnings.
Everyone should know what to do in a tsunami situation. Discussing tsunamis ahead of

time will help reduce fear and save precious time in an emergency.

b) Hypocentre The surfaces where they slip
c) Epicentre The location directly above

the hypocentre, on the

How do earthquake happens?
Rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault
This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the
ground shake
When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other,
they stick a little
The rocks are still pushing against each other, but not moving but after
a while, the rocks break because of all the pressure that's built up

WHAT IS FLOODS?
It is a natural event or occurrence where a piece of land (or area)
that is usually dry land, suddenly gets submerged under water.
Some floods can occur suddenly and recede quickly. Others take
days or even months to build and discharge.
Flooding is extremely dangerous and has the potential to wipe

away an entire city, coastline or area, and cause extensive damage
to life and property.
When floods happen in an area that people live,

the water carries along objects like houses,
bridges, cars, furniture and even people. It can
wipe away farms, trees and many more heavy
items.
WHAT CAUSES FLOODING?

Adhere to local water use restrictions.
Participate, as appropriate, in regional and local
coordination for the management of water resources.
Stay informed on drought conditions and advisories.
Suggestion To Overcome
Project water needs and available water supply for a ninety day period from the
issuance of this advisory.
Assess your vulnerability to the drought conditions and adjust water usage to
prolong available supply.
Inspect water delivery system components (e.g. irrigation lines, fixtures, processing
equipment, water system lines, etc.), repair leaks and ensure that existing
equipment is operating as efficiently as possible.
Minimize nonessential uses of water.
Implement available public awareness and educational outreach programs
emphasizing the need to conserve water.
