5. Learning Objectives K-Know some key terms in relation to topic U- Understand how to classify different hazard types S-Recognise the difference between a natural hazard and a disaster

6. Learning Outlook for this topic Look at the following sheet for an idea at what you will be doing this topic

7. Key Terms Try to define what the following terms mean Natural Hazard Disaster Risk Vulnerability Hydro- meteorological hazard Geophysical Hazard

8. Key Terms Write down the correct definition Natural Hazard A naturally occurring process or event which has the potential to cause loss of life or property. Without people it is just a natural event not a hazard, it needs the interaction of people to make it a hazard!

9. Key Terms Write down the correct definition Disaster “The realisation of hazard, although there is no universally agreed definition of the scale on which loss has to occur in order to qualify as a disaster”(Smith 1996)

10. Key Terms Write down the correct definition Risk The exposure of people to a hazardous event which may present a potential threat to people or their possessions, including buildings and structures.

11. Key Terms Write down the correct definition Vulnerability is to be susceptible to physical or emotional injury or attack.

12. What is the connection between the pictures in each group Group A CycloneThunderstorms Wildfire Group B FloodsDrought

13. What is the connection between the pictures in each group Group C TsunamiEarthquakeLandslide

14. Answers Group A CycloneThunderstorms Wildfire ALL 3 ARE CLASSED AS HYDRO- METEOROLOGICAL Group B FloodsDrought THESE COULD FIT INTO EITHER GROUP A OR C!!!!! Group C TsunamiEarthquakeLandslide ALL THESE ARE CLASSED AS GEOPHYSICAL HAZARDS

15. Key Terms Write down the correct definition Hydro-meteorological Hazard Natural processes or phenomena of atmospheric, hydrological or oceanographic nature, which may cause the loss of life or injury, property damage, social and economic disruption or environmental degradation.

16. Key Terms Copy the 1 st 3 down from this list of hazards Hydro-meteorological Hazard Cyclones, droughts, floods, storm surges, thunder/hailstorms, rain and wind storms, blizzards and other severe storms; desertification, wildland fires, temperature extremes, sand or dust storms; permafrost and snow or ice avalanches. Hydrometeorological hazards can be single, sequential or combined in their origin and effects.

17. Key Terms Write down the correct definition Geophysical Hazard Includes natural hazards where the principal causal agent is climatic and meteorological (e.g floods, hurricanes and droughts) or natural hazards where the principle causal agent is geological, geomorphological (e.g. landslides, tsunamis, volcanoes and earthquakes). They do not include biological hazards, both floral and faunal, such as fungal diseases, poisonous plants, viral diseases and infestations or locusts

18. Key Terms Write down the correct definition Chronic Hazard A hazard that is long term-term and persistent e.g. El-Nino or Global Warming.

19. Put the title: The disaster equation- draw the following No hazard or disaster Hazardous geophysical Event e.g flood or earthquake Vulnerable population: susceptible to human And economic loss No interaction of human and physical systems

20. Make a copy of the following diagram Hazard Hazardous geophysical Event Vulnerable population Interaction of human and physical systems Disaster

21. Look at the following images and decide if it is a hydro- meteorological/Geophysical hazard or both
