Potential Hazards Like Earthquakes
- 1) Discuss each hazard (this has to be a detailed discussion, focused on what the hazard is like, specifically in your chosen location)
- 2) Rank the hazards (please elaborate on how you chose your ranking, and what tools/measurements you used to evaluate risks for each of these hazards)
- 3) Discuss how they might be occurring simultaneously or make each other worse (as the syllabus states, “leading to a situation that is worse than the sum of its parts”).
You will be evaluated on whether all 3 aspects above are tackled in your report; on the quality of the initial report (is it well tailored, specific to the location, and informative enough to start helping you/us figure out potential solutions and challenges to dealing with these hazards); and on the overall “quality” of the essay (think structure, pertinent use of relevant references – readings from class and outside readings – along with a citations page).
