| Abstract | When describing how a natural phenomenon culminates in a catastrophe, the term "natural disasters" is commonly employed. However, this term is problematic because it incorrectly assumes that calamities are part of nature. Contrary to popular belief, it's important to recognize that there are only natural hazards, not natural disasters. This insight is consistent with the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR ) continuing advocacy efforts and mission. Humanity makes decisions on where to live, how to build, and what kinds of research to conduct. Cultural heritage faces various threats—from sudden events like earthquakes to gradual processes like degradation. Predicted decline in historical asset value illustrates the impact of risks on global heritage objectives. This paper was successful in proving how high vulnerability leads to increase risk in historic structures. It was guided by the principles of Disaster Risk Reduction & Management and the integration of science in heritage conservation. This paper offers mitigating recommendations to the key stakeholders with the goal of enhancing the resilience of the Sta. Monica Church by examining the interaction between the vulnerability of the church and the natural hazards threatening this cultural heritage. The methods outlined in this study may be a helpful first step for the preservation of historical buildings in developing cultures. |
