Where is Harm’s Way?(Mapping Disaster Risk in the Philippines) Department of Environment and Natural Resources Manila Observatory 15 March 2005
Disaster Language Risk = Hazard x Exposure x Vulnerability
Hazards • Natural • Typhoon • Drought (El Nino) • Earthquake (Tremor, Landslide) • Volcano • Tsunami • Anthropogenic • Deforestation • Mining • Climate change (historical, projected)
Hazard:Typhoon Data source: Joint Typhoon Warning Center (1945-2001)
Hazard:Drought(El Nino) Data source: IPCC Data Distribution Centre-Climate Research Unit
Hazard: Climate change (historical rain, temperature) Source: IPCC Data Distribution Centre-Climate Research Unit
Hazard:Climate change (projected warming) Source: Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization
Hazard: Climate change (projected rainfall) Source: Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research
Exposure • Population • Natural habitat • Conservation areas • Groundwater
Exposure (Population) Data source: NSO, (Population in 2000)
Vulnerability • Human Development Index • Education • Health • Economy • Urban centers • Socio-eco pressures • Transport
Risk • Typhoon • Drought (El Nino) • Earthquake (tremor, landslide) • Tsunami • Volcano • Climate Change (temperature, rainfall)
In sum, harm’s way: • Typhoon • Luzon (north, southeast), Visayas (east) • Drought (El Nino) • Mindanao (central, west) • Earthquake (tremor, landslide) + Tsunami • Northwest to southeast diagonal across RP • Volcano • Luzon (west central, south, southeast), Visayas (central, east), Mindanao (central) • Climate Change • Temperature: Mindanao, Visayas (central) • Rainfall: Luzon (central, south, southeast), Visayas (east)
