Week 3 Potential hydrometeorological hazard

Overview
Hydrometeorology is the study of the atmospheric and terrestrial phases of the
hydrological cycle with emphasis on the interrelationship between them. It deals with the
transfer of water and energy between land surface and the lower atmosphere.

What does hydrometeorological mean?

Hydrometeorological hazard is a process or phenomenon of atmospheric, hydrological or
oceanographic nature that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of
livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage. (UNISDR)

Hydrometeorological hazards in the Philippines

1. Typhoon
2. Thunderstorm 5. Storm surge
3. Flood 6. El Niño
4. Flash 7. La Niña

OBJECTIVE:
 Explain the meaning of vulnerability, capacity and resilience within the context of disaster
risk.

Pencil/marker/ballpen coloring materials.

On a short bond paper, make an infographic about what to do before, during, and after hydrometeorological
hazard.

Write the significance of knowing the signs of impending hydrometeorological hazard. How did the concept
help you? (you may use the back portion of this paper)

Investigate the school/house surrounding and discuss what to do to prepare before, minimize risk during and
their response after such events. (on a short bond paper)

List down the type of hydrometeorological you have experienced and enumerate the thing you have
done to prevent injury and damages. You can use another sheet of paper.

A hazard map is a map that highlights areas that are affected by or are vulnerable to a particular hazard. They
are typically created for natural hazards, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, flooding, and tsunamis. Hazard
maps help prevent serious damage and deaths.
Return period, also referred to as recurrence interval, is the probability of an event such as heavy rain, intense
typhoon of floods to happen. It is a statistical measurement mainly based on historical data that gives the estimated time
interval between similar extreme events. For example, the return period of a heavy rainfall event is 100 years, this can be
expressed as an even with a probability of happening equivalent to 1/100 or 1%. This does not mean that the next similar
extreme event will happen 100 years after, instead, it means that in a given year, there is a 1% chance that the event will
happen.
OBJECTIVE:
 Interpret different hydrometeorological hazard maps

Paper pen coloring materials

On a short bond paper make a floor plan of your house. Make sure to indicate the part of the house that you
think is prone to damages and injury, a safe place and not-so-prone to damages and injury. Use colors (depends on you)
that shows the degree of severity.

What is the importance of knowing how to interpret hazard maps? How can this be useful?

Identify what type of hydrometeorological hazard your barangay usually experience. Make a hazard map. Use

SUMMARY:

 Hydrometeorological hazard is a process or phenomenon of atmospheric, hydrological or

oceanographic nature that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss
of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage
 Typhoon, thunderstorm, flashflood, flood, storm surges, El Niño, and La Niña are the types of
hydrometeorological hazard.
 A hazard map is a map that highlights areas that are affected by or are vulnerable to a particular
hazard.
