Personal Plan For Earthquake

How would your perspective of disaster change if a disaster similar to those described happened to you?

From here, the event can be classified into specific type of emergency. This event, an earthquake, is classified as a natural disaster. A natural disaster is one that occurs naturally in the environment with out any interference from man. These can include earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, cyclones, floods, landslides, some bushfires, and droughts (Carter 1991). Most of these disasters cannot be avoided but some can be predicted or detected, providing significant warning time to prepare affected areas. Natural diasters are part of the earth’s environment, and need to be accepted and expected in our societies.

Over more than 50 decades there has been multiple earthquakes that have been caused by the activity that takes place beneath and above the surface of the earth. For every earthquake there are various effects and consequences, these are generally not preventable but teachable moments. As we study and explore landforms we learn and better understand how today 's structures came about, what took place decades ago and where do we go from here. Thanks to the technology and inquiring minds we are able to study past events like the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the 1964 Alaska earthquake. In comparing these two events we can get an overview of what happened and better prepare ourselves for something like that in the future.

Imagine if you had to restart your life, new shelter, new job, new lifestyle. Well locals or people in the Philippines had to restart their life when an earthquake with an magnitude of 7.1 hit the country and destroyed people’s lives. The earthquake had a devastating 7.1 magnitude. The earthquake hit the Philippines on October 15th, 2013. The likely culprit of the earthquake was the East Bohol Fault because the two tectonic plates were sliding against each other and the creates an earthquake. Sadly, earthquake killed more than 90 people. Ports, schools, and airports were damaged. A hospital collapsed then that lead to a killing of 18 people. Children were also injured at sports complexes because people rushed the exits when the the ground started to shake. Lastly, 5 people were killed in a landslide that was triggered from the earthquake. What really matters though is how people respond to the

An earthquake is where two transform plate boundaries slide and creak the earth. This is what happened in the Philippines. Although it was in 2013 the people are still in need of help to get back to their daily lives. The Philippines earthquake had a magnitude of 7.1. This earthquake was gigantic, and it took down many buildings that were in its path. Lucky the children were not in school that day because of the Muslim holidays the earthquake caused the school to collaspe. If the children were in school, then it would have killed most of the kids.There were 2,100 aftershocks. The day of the quake was October 15, 2013. People respond to a natural disaster by gathering materials and donations, spreading the word, and the government's aid.

A ‘hazard’ can be defined as a geophysical process operating within the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere or biosphere which could potentially lead to the loss of human life or property. However, an earthquake only becomes hazardous and therefore needs management if it occurs within close proximity to a vulnerable population. To some extent, any human settlement around the world situated close to or on top of an area of seismic activity is vulnerable. However, not all nations suffer equal devastation.

This land assessment will recommend which community would be the best and safest place to live. Hazard City is made of up of five communities. Riverside is a mobile home community with most of the current homes located upon the sandy soils of the floodplain. Downtown consists nearly of one-to-three story buildings constructed of unreinforced brick and masonry. Ralston contains mostly large wood-framed, single family, Victorian-style homes built in the late 1800's. Hickory Estates contains of single-family, multi-story, wood-frame homes that were all built before World War II. Walnut Heights is a planned, gated residential community of single-family homes founded in 1981.

People are killed injured and left homeless. This earthquake in 1906 was the most devastating and most memorable. Earthquakes can destroy towns, cities, and even countries. Earthquakes most occur under the ocean and very rural areas. Thy only occur at fault lines where the earth's plates are moving opposite of eachother.

Imagine yourself home doing a couple of sets of jumping jacks but then you feel weary so you stop for a water break. You notice that you kept on bouncing but it wasn’t your body moving it was the Earth that was shaking you, an earthquake occured. Earthquakes happen when the underground continental plates move. Earthquakes can affect the Earth, people, and property. To begin with, when an earthquake happens something on Earth is most likely to change.

2014 there was an earthquake with a 4.4 magnitude in California. It shook the ground

I do not think that the mistake argument is as strong in the Department of Labor’s case as it is in Shahmaleki, though, it may still be a viable argument. A lot of the research from Shahmaleki applies here. I did check for cases similar to this, but couldn’t find anything. I think the issue is that while this also hints at a “legal mistake”, it also is very similar to a mistake of identify that courts normally upheld as something that can relate back. Garret v. Fleming’s definition of mistake was a misnomer or a misidentification, and unlike Shahmaleki, this seems closer to that definition. 362 F.3d 692, 696-97 (10th Cir. 2004). It seems like the Plaintiffs believed that they were suing the state, when they sued the Department of Labor. I think this gets closer to the issue in Krupski v. Costa Crociere S. p. A., where a plaintiff sued a company, but it turned out the parent company controlling that company was the only one with liability and so it had to be sued.

Earthquakes are common environmental catastrophes which occur as a result of overwhelming stress being released within the earth. The location of the San Francisco Bay Area is extremely vulnerable to megathrust earthquakes

Reaching the front lines would definitely scare me but I know that once I see the fear in the Syrians’ faces, I would have to put on my brave face on. After getting myself in touch with whoever is in charge, I would get to work quickly. I would personally purchase and convey medical supplies to the injured civilians to hopefully give them a faster recovery. There is much work to be done there. So, I would stay there as long as I possibly could. Even it meant I’d stay there for

Earthquake Hazards occur when there are adverse effects on human activities. This can include surface faulting, ground shaking and liquefaction. In this essay I will be discussing the factors that affect earthquakes, whether human such as population density, urbanisation and earthquake mitigation or physical such as liquefaction, magnitude, landslides and proximity to the focus.

     An Earthquake is the shaking of the earth's surface caused by rapid movement of the earth's rocky outer layer. The sudden shaking of the ground that occurs when masses of rock change position below the Earth's surface is called an earthquake. The shifting masses send out shock waves that may be powerful enough to alter the surface of the Earth, thrusting up cliffs and opening great cracks in the ground.
