Natural Hazards 2
Read (Natural Hazards, Unnatural Disasters, The Economics of Effective Prevention Chapter 5, 6, and Memorandum to a concerned citizen) and provide an approximate 1000
-word overview and explanation of the important concepts in the readings to include 6-7 references. Assume that you are writing for an uninformed reader that knows
nothing about the topic and has not read what you read. Provide an introduction that gives the background of the resource that you are reviewing, so the reader will
understand what they’re reading and why. Consider the following topics for inclusion in this week’s discussion:
– What is the role of insurance? Is insurance sustainable in an environment of increasing risk?
– How are cities inherently hazardous?
– What role will climate change play in future disaster planning?
– How would your perspective of disaster change if a disaster similar to those described happened to you?
DO NOT list out the topics or questions and answer them.
