What is hydro meteorological
hazards ?
Hydro meteorological hazard '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.

 Tropical cyclones

A tropical cyclone is a storm

system characterised by a large
low pressure centre and numerous
thunderstorms that produce strong
winds and flooding rain. Tropical
cyclones feed on heat released
when moist air rises, resulting in
condensation of water vapour
contained in the moist air.
 MANILA The low pressure area located east of
Luzon has intensified overnight into a tropical
depression, making it the first tropical cyclone to
enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR)
since the onset of the wet season.
The state weather bureau on Sunday morning located
tropical depression Emong at 765 kilometers east of
Tuguegarao City, Cagayan with maximum sustained
winds of 45 kilometers per hour near the center and
gustiness of up to 60 kilometers per hour.
It is not expected to make landfall over any part of the
country as it moves northwest at 30 kilometers per
hour, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and
Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
 Strong winds
Strong winds are the most
common means of destruction
associated with hurricanes.
Their sometimes continuous
barrage can uproot trees,
knock over buildings and
homes, fling potentially deadly
debris around, sink or ground
boats, and flip cars.
 On 8 November 2013, Typhoon Yolanda,
international code name Haiyan, made
landfall in the central Philippine islands
region. The 600 km-diameter typhoon
Yolanda crossed the Philippine
archipelago, bringing widespread
devastation in its path. Storm surges were
primarily responsible for the 6,190 dead,
1,785 missing and 28,626 injured in
Yolandas aftermath.
 Intense rainfall

The intensity of rain is

measured in the height
of the water layer
covering the ground in a
period of time.
 In October 2015, Super
Typhoon Koppu (Lando) brought
extreme rainfall to the storm-weary
nation of The Philippines. At least 22
people have been reported dead and
hundreds of thousands have been
displaced by floods and mudslides in
the aftermath.
The top 20 provinces at
risk to projected rainfall
change are:
Albay
Pampanga
Ifugao
Rizal
Cavite
Sorsogon
Laguna
Biliran
Batangas
Pangasinan
Masbate
Metro Manila
Tarlac
Nueva Ecija
Northern Samar
Aklan
Capiz
La Union
Western Samar
 Flood

A general and temporary

condition of partial or complete
inundation of normally dry land
areas from overflow of inland
or tidal waters from the
unusual and rapid
accumulation or runoff of
surface waters from any
source.
 Tropical storm Sendong
(international name, Washi) made
landfall on December 15, 2011 in the
southern regions of the country. The
recorded 24-hour rainfall in Lumbia
station of PAGASA reached 180.9 mm
causing the overflow of the Cagayan
de Oro River
 Storm surges

A rising of the sea as a

result of atmospheric
pressure changes and
wind associated with a
storm.
 Storm Surges in Tacloban City, Leyte.
On 8
November 2013, Typhoon Yolanda,
international code name Haiyan,
made landfall in the
central Philippine islands region.
 Flash flood

Flash floods are the most

dangerous kind of floods,
because they combine the
destructive power of a flood
with incredible speed and
unpredictability.
 ORMOC TRAGEDY. Debris, from the
forest carried by the flash flood, is
piled-up on houses, November 9,
1991, in Ormoc City. Powerful
typhoon Thelma caused a nearby
dam to burst sending floodwaters
rampaging here when it struck central
Philippines, November 5, 1991.
The top 20 provinces at risk
are:
Albay
Pampanga
Ifugao
Sorsogon
Biliran
Rizal
Northern Samar
Cavite
Masbate
Laguna
Batangas
Sulu
Western Samar
Nueva Ecija
Tarlac
Pangasinan
Basilan
Metro Manila
Camarines Sur
La Union
 Drought

A drought is a period of
below-average precipitation
in a given region, resulting
in prolonged shortages in
the water supply, whether
atmospheric, surface water
or ground water
 As a strong El Nio surges, 12
provinces are seen to suffer
drought conditions this month
while most of the country will
have significantly reduced rainfall.
The top 20 provinces at
risk to drought are:
Sulu
Basilan
Maguindanao
Lanao Del Sur
Lanao Del Norte
Davao Del Sur
Misamis Occidental
Sarangani
Zamboanga Del Sur
South Cotabato
Zamboanga Del Norte
North Cotabato
Sultan Kudarat
Siquijor
Tawi-tawi
Negros Oriental
Camiguin
Davao del Norte
Misamis Oriental
Bukidnon
 Earthquake
An earthquake is caused
by a sudden slip on a fault.
The tectonic plates are
always slowly moving, but
they get stuck at their
edges due to friction.
 1990 Luzon earthquake. ... 3:26:34
p.m. (PST) with an estimated moment
magnitude of 7.7 and a maximum
Mercalli intensity of IX (Violent) on
the densely populated island of
Luzon in the Philippinesand
produced a 125 km-long ground
rupture that stretched from Dingalan,
Aurora to Cuyapo, Nueva Ecija.
The top ten provinces
that are at risk to
earthquakes are:
Surigao Del Sur
La Union
Benguet
Pangasinan
Pampanga
Tarlac
Ifugao
Davao Oriental
Nueva Vizcaya
Nueva Ecija
 Volcanic eruption
A volcanic eruption occurs
when hot materials are thrown
out of
a volcano. Lava, rocks, dust, a
sh and gas compounds are
some of these "ejecta".
 The June 15, 1991, explosive eruption
of Mount Pinatubo, Philippines, was
the second largest volcanic eruption of
this century and by far the largest
eruption to affect a densely populated
area.
Since volcanoes are
not present in some
provinces, these
particular areas
have no risk to
volcanic eruptions.
The top ten
provinces at risk are:
Camiguin
Sulu
Biliran
Albay
Bataan
Sorsogon
South Cotabato
Laguna
Camarines Sur
Batanes
