3. Hazard risk and vulnerability

What you will need to know....

KEY CONCEPT - The varying power of geophysical hazards to affect people in different local contexts

  • Two contemporary contrasting case studies each for volcanic hazards, earthquake hazards and mass movement hazards 
  • For each geophysical hazard type, the case studies should develop knowledge and understanding of:
    • geophysical hazard event profiles, including any secondary hazards
    • varied impacts of these hazards on different aspects of human well-being
    • why levels of vulnerability varied both between and within communities, including spatial variations in hazard perception, personal knowledge and preparedness

Two contrasting earthquake events...

Two contrasting ​mass movement events...

As you have seen, the two mass movement case studies are a little shorter than the earthquakes and volcanoes versions. We are now going to draw together both mass movement case studies by comparing the geographic factors leading to vulnerability in Italy and Sierra Leone.
