This document provides a learning unit on natural hazards that aims to help students analyze how hazards become disasters, assess disaster preparedness, and present information on natural hazards creatively. It includes articles, videos, and activities about different natural hazards and case studies on disaster preparedness. Students are asked to research natural hazards, create hazard profiles in groups, and compare responses to different disasters. The goal is for students to understand how preparedness can reduce a hazard's impact and how human activities relate to hazards.

It can cause permanent damage or temporary inconvenience. This research paper seeks to illustrate how to avoid terrible outcomes of unexpected earthquakes. Every disaster, if prepared for can cause less damage. An earthquake is one natural disaster that has a high rate of damage in its after effects. It is known as the abrupt and fast shaking of the ground caused as rock breaks and shifts due to the strain that has accumulated over a long period (Walker 2008). Earthquakes are one of the major disasters not anticipated, and they end up causing irreparable damage. This paper will use a sample of the San Francisco Bay area. It has a population size of 7,150,739 people as at the census taken in 2010. The Bay Area sits at border where a couple of the earth’s biggest tectonic plates intersect and pass each other. Sometimes, the boundary faults may break. Then the North American plate hurls at the Pacific Plates. This is when an earthquake occurs. The area has had a number of earthquakes, a trend that scientists cannot take to be random. Some of the earthquakes have a magnitude of 6 and even higher. There is a high frequency of earthquakes. It is estimated that there is a 50% probability that in the next thirty years there will be more occurrences of the same magnitude. Ranging from 1836 to 1911, there was an alarming 18 earthquakes. The Earthquake that occurred in 1906 caused a great strain. This is believed to be the reason for the reduction in earthquakes since only one followed that. The Loma Prieta earthquake had a magnitude of 7.1. It occurred after 1979 (Walker 2008). Factors that make this area suitable for my proposal are the population of bay area is considerably high, and a great number of people will be affected by an earthquake should it occur. The reason for this is that the area is strategically located between two tectonic plates, making it prone to earthquake occurrence. In addition to this, the continual damage proves that the area needs to take up measures to keep it free from more damage. It could gain from learning about disaster preparedness. These strategies would eliminate the greater risks by foreseeing them and training the residents. From studies carried out bay area is prone to the occurrence of earthquake especially in the future due to the factors mentioned above. Furthermore, only a few individual poses the disaster management skills, which increases fears and further affect the area economic ...

Everbridge: The Psychology of Disasters

Everbridge, Inc.

We know how people should react in a crisis, but how do they really—and why? Why do people continue to live in high-risk areas? Why don’t people prepare for disasters or take emergency measures when they should? All of us have been confounded by these questions at some point. Dr. Matthew “Disaster Man” Davis delves into the psychology of disasters: how people view their risk, how they respond during and after crises, the obstacles to preparedness and action, and what we can do to factor these realities into our planning.

Natural disasters can severely injure or kill humans and cause immense property damage. In 2010, natural disasters killed 295,000 people and cost insurers $218 billion globally. Specific examples are the 2010 earthquake and tsunami in Japan that killed over 10,000 people, and Hurricane Katrina in 2005 that flooded 80% of New Orleans under 15 feet of water and caused $81 billion in property damage alone. While natural disasters cannot be prevented, communities can help reduce impacts by donating to relief organizations, volunteering with recovery efforts, and helping to rebuild damaged areas.

Lesson 9 hurricane case study

David Rogers

Here are potential responses to the natural hazards practice questions: 1. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are caused by movement and activity within the earth's plates. At plate boundaries, plates collide, slide past each other or move apart. The friction between plates builds up stress over time and is suddenly released in earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. [3 marks] 2. A divergent plate boundary is where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. [1 mark] 3. Tropical storms form over warm tropical oceans where sea surface temperatures are above 27°C. Convection currents carry warm, moist air upwards which condenses to form thunderstorms. Coriolis force causes the winds to
