    1. Choose three infrastructure elements (essential facilities, industrial facilities, transportation, and utilities) that could be affected by an earthquake or flooding. Note their locations. 2. Analyze the potential consequences of damage to the chosen infrastructure, such as building collapse, structural damage, disrupted communication or utility lines. 3. Consider the potential human impacts of each infrastructure consequence, such as injury or loss of services. The document discusses identifying vulnerable infrastructure and analyzing the consequences of hazards like earthquakes or flooding. It prompts the reader to select specific infrastructure elements, note their locations, consider potential damage from hazards, and think about related human impacts.

    Exposure and Vulnerability

    Activity 4

    1. Choose three elements from each of the physical element types (essential facilities, industrial and high potential
    loss facilities, transportation lifelines, and utilities lifelines). Take note of the location of the items you have
    chosen in your community. Which of these can be affected in case of:
    a. A large magnitude earthquake
    b. Flooding due to river or sea water
    2. Analyze the possible consequences of these hazard events to the physical elements (vulnerability) you chose.
    Example of consequences are:
    a. Total or partial building collapse
    b. Structural damage
    c. Communication lines down
    d. Ruptured gas pipes
    e. Water lines damage
    f. Explosion
    3. Analyze potential human impact for each consequence you have listed.

    Basic concept of hazard

    Objective: recognize what constitute hazards and which ones qualify as a disaster.

    Direction: answer the following by indicating whether the situation involves a natural phenomenon or hazard in the
    space for answer in a, and for b, whether it constitutes a disaster or no disaster.

    1. Flooding occurs in an isolated island with zero population.


    a. _____________________ b. ______________________
    2. A river flood near a community whose population is not known to be vulnerable. Flooding is threatening to
    intensify and reach the populated area.
    a. _____________________ b. ______________________
    3. Flooding occurs near a community whose population is also not known to be vulnerable. Population growth
    pushes people farther into the flood-prone areas.
    a. _____________________ b.______________________
    4. Flooding occurs near a community whose population is also not known to be vulnerable. Flooding is threatening
    to intensify and reach the populated area.
    a. _____________________ b. ______________________
    5. Flooding occurs near a community whose population is also not known to be vulnerable. Intensification of
    flooding caused water level to rise toward the populated area.
    a. _____________________ b. ______________________
