Name the 4 stages of the hazard management cycle |
- mitigation - preparedness - response - recovery |
|
|
Explain two strategies that are used to modify vulnerability to volcanic hazards (4) |
- using water jets to cool the lava and slow it down to buy time for vulnerable population to be evacuated from area and save land from being destroyed (first successful in Iceland) - educate vulnerable population in what to do when a volcanic hazard occurs; therefore if event happens population knows what to do, such as get onto high ground or create barricades (used in Hawaii) |
|
|
Using a named location, explain how hydrometeorological hazards can contribute to a tectonic disaster (6) |
- hydrometeorological hazards are naturally occurring hazards such as flooding, drought and hurricanes - can amplify effects of tectonic disaster by increasing populations vulnerability |
|
|
Assess how prediction can contribute to the management of tectonic hazards (12) |
