Vulnerability of the Urban Environment
1. Based on the characteristics of persons and their situation that influences in
facing natural hazards, describe two ways by which vulnerability is linked to
environment.
Vulnerability and environment is linked to each other. An environmental
event like earthquake and or Typhoon can make a community vulnerable to hazard.
In these two natural disasters, you might face danger of death or physical injury, or
loss of properties and love ones and such stressor place you at risk for emotional
and physical health problems.

2. Read the Case Study-Relocating a School Out of a Flood Zone. Write the
lessons you have learned inside the box provided

At the request of the local government and following consultations with the
community, it has been agreed to move the elementary school in Barangay XYZ
from its current location to an adjoining hillside. The current location experiences
flooding during heavy rainfall, as well as standing water after any rainfall. The
foundation of the school is also affected by the high ground water table. The
community plans to use the new school as an evacuation center in case of
flooding and heavy rainfall.
The local government has selected a site on a hillside on the edge of the
barangay where the travel distance from the community is not generally more
than for the current School. They have leveled the site and are providing skilled
workers and a back hoe for work on the site. The community has collected funds
to purchase the sand, gravel and rocks needed for the construction and an NGO
is providing the other construction materials (e.g., cement, roofing, wood, etc.).
A site inspection indicates that all the necessary preparations have been
made for the construction to begin. The local government will build a 3 meter-
high retaining wall to hold back the hillside behind the school next year when
additional funds are available.
It is important to examine the location of your building for possible hazards and
taking action or response to it to lessen those hazards. Especially in this case the
lives of students and school staff members are at risk, the response of local
government is the right response everyone should do.
