SUCH A DISASTER HOT SPOT? The Philippines is considered to be ONE OF THE MOST DISASTER- PRONE COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD! ( A report in 2015 found that of the 10 MOST ‘AT RISK CITIES’ from natural hazards in the world, 8 of them were in the Philippines alone!!)

1.The Philippines sits on a destructive(convergent) plate boundary so it faces SIGNIFICANT RISK FROM TECTONIC HAZARDS…

2.Its north and eastern coasts face the Pacific Ocean ( the world’s most tsunami prone ocean)

3.The Philippines lies within S.E. Asia’s major typhoon belts.

In most years it is affected by 15 typhoons and is actually struck by between 6-9. These events bring strong winds, heavy rainfall and increase risk of landslides and flooding.

4.The Philippines has a tropical Monsoon climate so is subject to heavy rains…….

5. The Philippines has 47 volcanoes. ( 22 of which are active) 5.The Philippines has 47 volcanoes!( 22 of which are active). Over 30% of the country’s population lies within 30 km of a volcano

6.Landslides are common due to a combination of steep topography, high levels of deforestation and high rainfall

EXAMPLE OF A DISASTER EVENT:SUPERTYPHOON HAIYAN,PHILIPPINES NOV 8th 2013

Tracking the storm from the Philippines –Super Tropical Storm Haiyan November 2013………….

The vulnerability of the people…..

The powerful use of media….

Super -Typhoon Haiyan Philippines Nov 8th 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44c5eaD9pIU ( 50 mins) **WATCH AND MAKE NOTES ON THIS!**

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-29956081 (Life in the Philippines 3 years after Typhoon Hyan)

TASKS 1.Read ‘Multiple hazard zones’ section on the Philippines .Answer the following questions in the ‘Over to you’ section : 2, 3, 4, 5 2. Read the information on table 3.5 ‘Comparing the Philippines and California – classic multiple – hazard geography and make your own summary notes. 4. Read Geo Fact File ‘Hazard Hot spots and the human response’. Answer the focus questions at the end. 3. See past paper questions and answers and MAKE YOURSELF SOME MODEL ANSWERS TO REVISE FROM !! ( pay particular attention to examiner comments)

Have we met our lesson objectives? To understand what a hazard hotspot /multiple hazard zone is To analyse the global distribution of multiple hazards on maps To look at the Philippines as an example To compare the Philippines with California , USA
