OBJECTIVES
To spread awareness about hydrometeorological
hazards.
To inform what is a hydrometeorological hazard.
To inform what are the different types of
hydrometeorological hazards.
To share information on how to prepare for
hydrometeorological hazards.

HYDROLOGY +
METEOROLOGY =
HYDROMETEOROLOGY
HYDROLOGY – properties of Earth’s water and
its movement in relation to land.
METEOROLOGY – major focus on weather
forecasting.
HYDROMETEOROLOGY = HYDROLOGY +
METEOROLOGY
- studies the transfer of water and energy
between the land surface and the lower
atmosphere.
HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL
FORECASTING
Primary Ways of
Hydrometeorological Forecasting
NUMERICAL
NOWCASTING WEATHER
PREDICTION
A short – term weather Uses mathematical
forecast. Generally, for models to produce an
the next few hours. extended short – term
weather forecast.

HAZARDS
HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL
HAZARD
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.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF
HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL
HAZARDS
TYPHOON THUNDERSTORM
FLOOD FLASH FLOODS STORM SURGE
EL NIÑO LA NIÑA
TYPHOONS,
HURRICANES, CYCLONES
Weather systems that gather speed
and strength of 118 – 239 km/hr are
called differently, depending on where
it developed or originated.
TYPHOON – weather system that developed at
Northwest Pacific Ocean.
HURRICANE CYCLONES
Developed at east Originates from
of the International Southeast Pacific
Date Line up to the Ocean and Indian
Western Atlantic Ocean.
Ocean.
THUNDERSTORM
THUNDERSTORM
A violent, short-lived weather disturbance
that is almost always associated with
lightning, thunder, dense clouds, heavy rain
or hail, and strong, gusty winds.
Moisture (or humidity) + Rising unstable air +
a lifting mechanism to keep the air rising =
THUNDERSTORM
FLOOD
FLOOD
An overflow of water onto normally dry land.
The inundation of a normally dry area caused
by rising water in an existing waterway, such
as a river, stream, or drainage ditch due to
excessive rainfall or when the sea level rises.
FLASH FLOOD
FLASH FLOODS
A flood caused by heavy or excessive rainfall
in a short period of time, generally less than 6
hours, occurs without warning. Flash floods
are usually characterized by raging torrents
after heavy rains that rip through river beds,
urban streets, or mountain canyons sweeping
everything before them.
STORM SURGE
STORM SURGE
Is an abnormal rise of water generated by a
storm, over and above the predicted
astronomical tides. Storm surge should not
be confused with storm tide, which is defined
as the water level rise due to the combination
of storm surge and the astronomical tide.
EL NIÑO
EL NIÑO
Refers to the large-scale ocean-atmosphere
climate interaction linked to a periodic
warming in sea surface temperatures across
the central and east-central Equatorial Pacific.
LA NIÑA
LA NIÑA
Represents periods of below-average sea
surface temperatures across the east-central
Equatorial Pacific. Global climate La Niña
impacts tend to be opposite those of El Niño
impacts.

HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL
HAZARDS
TYPHOON, FLOOD, FLASH FLOODS
Before a typhoon or a storm, secure anything that can be
blown away or torn loose in your home.
Make sure to have stocked food, drinking water, car fuel,
spare batteries for emergency lights, and FM/AM radios.
The addition of first aid kit will also be valuable.
Before constructing a new house, some flood protection
practices must be considered.
When flooding is imminent, transfer appliances, important
documents, and insecticides or other chemicals to the
highest place in your house.
Be ready to evacuate at a moment’s notice.
When evacuating, take all the necessary and proper
precautions.
STORM SURGE
When there is a forecasted storm surge, check your emergency
supplies, radio, and emergency kit.
THUNDERSTORM
Use “30 – 30” rule to make informed decisions regarding safety
in thunderstorms.
Stay away from television sets, computers, and appliances. Avoid
using the phone as electricity can conduct through wires.
Stay away from water sources and metal or metallic pipes as they
provide conductivity to outside sources.
Stay indoors.
Wait after 30 minutes from the time that you hear the last clap of
thunder before going out of your shelter.
THAT’S ALL
