WHAT IS DRRR?
DRRR STANDS FOR Disaster Readiness
and Risk Reduction. DRRR AIMS TO REDUCE
THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY NATURAL HAZARDS
LIKE EARTHQUAKES, FLOODS, DROUGHTS,
AND CYCLONES, THROUGH AN ETHI OF
PREVENTION. - DISASTERS OFTEN FOLLOW
NATURAL HAZARDS.

What is the importance of DRRR?
Disaster Readiness and risk reduction
(DRRR) protects the lives and
livelihoods of communities and
individuals who are most vulnerable to
disasters or emergencies. Whether the
crisis is caused by nature or humans (or a
combination of both), DRRR limits its
negative impact on those who stand to lose

Disaster Risk
Disaster
● A serious disruption of the functioning of
society, causing widespread human, material
or environment losses which exceed the ability
of the affected people to cope, using their own
resources.
● A sudden, calamitous occurrence that causes
great harm, injury, destruction, and
devastation to life and property.

DISASTER RISK
▪ The probability that a community’s
structure or geographic area is to be
damaged or disrupted by the impact of a
particular hazard, on account of its
nature, construction and proximity to a
hazardous area.
▪ Disaster risk is the potential loss in lives,
health status, livelihoods, and various

is the sudden release of
energy in the form of :

⮚Severe chaotic winds in a Cyclone

⮚Shaking of Earth in an Earthquake
⮚High sea waves in a Tsunami
⮚Torrential rain in a Cloud burst
⮚Eruption of volcano Releasing lava,

TYPES OF DISASTERS
1. NATURAL DISASTER
, over which man has hardly any
control. Some common natural
disasters are earthquakes, landslides
floods, drought. When disasters occur
due to natural forces they are called
natural disasters, cyclones, etc.
Tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and
wildfires are also included under
natural disasters. These disasters
cause enormous loss to life and
property.
24
2. MAN-MADE
DISASTER
When the disasters are due to
carelessness of human or
mishandling of dangerous
equipment’s they are called
man-made disasters. Common
examples of these disasters are
train accidents, aero plane
crashes, collapse of buildings,
bridges, mines, tunnels, etc.
26
3 categories of man-made
disaster
1. Technological or industrial Disaster – includes
infrastructure collapse, leaks of hazardous
materials, accidental explosion, and utility
failure (inadequate safety standards)
2. Transportation Disaster – crash/collision of
road cars, rail, water and aviation.
3. Social Disaster – induced entirely by human
examples are war, terrorism, and economic
activity.
