Earthquakes Present A Hazard To Many People And Need To Be Managed Carefully
Muhtasari
No country can stop an earthquake. What countries can do is decide how many people it kills. Two tremors of almost identical size can produce a few dozen deaths in one place and tens of thousands in another, and the difference is almost entirely a matter of what was built, planned and rehearsed in the years before the ground moved.
This lesson takes you through the full management cycle: the preparation that happens in advance, the frantic relief effort of the first three days, and the slow reconstruction that follows for a decade afterwards. You will study Japan and Nepal as your paired case studies and learn how to write the comparative answers that Edexcel rewards most heavily.
Malengo
- Preparation for earthquakes (warning and evacuation, building design, remote sensing and GIS)
- Short-term responses and relief (emergency aid, shelter and supplies)
- Longer-term planning (risk assessment, hazard mapping and rebuilding programmes)
- Case studies of hazard management for an earthquake in a developed country and a developing country or an emerging country
