HAZARDS AND DISASTERS Picture found from: Outsmart the Quake! Lesson 1 Disasters are Preventable

HAZARD A hazard is a human made or natural danger that can threaten a group of people, their belongings, and their environment, if they do not take precautions.

Examples of Hazards In Washington:  Earthquakes  Flooding  Landslides  Tsunamis  Volcanoes Other places:  Hurricanes  Tornados herald.com/images/photos/2009/10/11/101109_SG_Nilelandslide8.jpg? A landslide in Nile Valley, Yakima in 2009 went completely across the Naches River.

DISASTER A disaster is a hazard that causes such great losses and damage that the affected communities do not have the resources to recover without outside assistance.

Tsunami Damage Photo: Dr. Norio Maki, Kyoto University Tsunami damage after the 2011 earthquake in Japan.

Flood Damage Flooding in La Feria, Texas.

Flood Damage Photo: FEMA Photo: Nora Jagielo This house in New Orleans has had its foundation raised so that flood water can run underneath. The owners of these homes did not take measures to protect their property from flood water.

Fault Lines live/photos/000/000/cache/san-andreas- fault_19_600x450.jpg The Seattle area has many faults running through it, on which cities and neighborhoods are built. Some of these faults were only discovered in the last few decades. The San Andreas Fault is visible on the surface of the open field in California. This fault line has caused several large earthquake in southern California in the last century. habits.com/images/puget_sound_earthquakes.gif

Acknowledgements Outsmart the Quake! lesson plans are intended to support 6th-8th grade student learning about disaster preparedness in conjunction with the Washington State ShakeOut drill. The lessons were developed in 2012 by Western Washington University students Nora Jagielo, Pamela Griswold, Spencer Andrich, Pat Chappelle and Ryan Bainbridge as part of the Disaster Risk Reduction Planning Studio. If you have questions, comments or concerns, please contact Dr. Rebekah Green at Western Washington University’s Resilience Institute.
