Introducing Hazards & Disasters

Objective: 

Picture
To recognise the difference between risk and hazard and how both can interact to create a disaster event.

Starter: Ranking the top 10 Natural Disasters of all time. Download this crib sheet and card set & cut out the cards. First of all, rank the order of deaths. Then try the event and the year.

Task 1 - Study the SlideShow Presentation underneath carefully and copy out the three Venn diagrams. 


Task 2 - Complete the worksheet titled 'Name That Hazard' from GATW (link here)

Task 3 - Make a copy of the following in your book

“A disaster is a sudden, calamitous event that causes serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society causing widespread human, material, economic and/or environmental losses which exceed the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own level of resources."

"globally floods account for around 40% of all national disasters" #flooding resources: http://t.co/U0RFk2VSA4 @geolsoc #geographyteacher

IB Geography 2011 [New Syllabus] Hazards
For a disaster to be entered into the database of the UN's International Strategy for Disaster Reduction, at least one of the following criteria must be met:

  • a report of 10 or more people killed 
  • a report of 100 people affected 
  • a declaration of a state of emergency by the relevant government 
  • a request by the national government for international assistance                               (geographyalltheway.com)

Task 4 - Decide whether the following events are hazards or disasters and evidence the reasons why using this table worksheet.

Event 1 - Hurricane Xynthia
Event 2 - Extra Cold Weather - Alaska 2012
Event 3 - Floods in Brisbane 2011
Event 4 - Plague of Locusts in Africa
Event 5 - Multiple Tornado Outbreak 2011 USA
