How do different earthquake hazards affect people and communities?

Ground shaking can cause buildings to collapse, surface rupture can damage roads and pipelines, liquefaction can cause structures to sink, and tsunamis can inundate coastal areas.

Earthquakes have no effect on people or communities.

Earthquakes only affect people in developing countries.

Earthquakes only affect people in developed countries.

What information can be found on earthquake hazard maps?

The location and intensity of past earthquakes

The potential for future earthquakes

The types of earthquake hazards in a region

How can understanding earthquake hazard maps help individuals and communities prepare for earthquakes?

By identifying areas at high risk and taking appropriate precautions

By ignoring the information and hoping for the best

By building earthquake-resistant structures

If you live in an earthquake-prone area, what steps can you take to make your home safer?

Secure heavy objects to walls, create a disaster preparedness plan, and learn first aid

Ignore the risk and continue living as usual

Build a new home on a different foundation

How can you help others after an earthquake?

Spread awareness about disaster preparedness

How do disasters affect individuals and communities from different perspectives?

Socio-culturally: disrupting social norms, traditions, and relationships

Physically: causing injuries, illness, and death

Psychologically: causing stress, anxiety, and depression

Economically: causing property damage, job loss, and economic decline

Liquefaction occurs when:

The ground becomes saturated with water and loses its strength

The ground subsides due to seismic activity

A landslide is triggered by an earthquake

What is the difference between ground shaking and ground rupture?

Ground shaking is caused by seismic waves, while ground rupture is caused by fault movement.

Ground shaking is a primary effect, while ground rupture is a secondary effect.

Ground shaking occurs on the surface, while ground rupture occurs underground.

Ground shaking is temporary, while ground rupture is permanent.

How can earthquake-induced ground subsidence pose a threat to infrastructure?

It can cause buildings to collapse

It can damage roads and bridges

If you live in an earthquake-prone area, what steps can you take to prepare for a potential disaster?

Secure heavy objects in your home

How can building codes help to mitigate the damage caused by earthquakes?

By ensuring that buildings are designed to withstand seismic activity

By requiring structures to be built on stable ground

By providing guidelines for emergency response

By limiting the height of buildings in earthquake-prone areas

Why is it important to understand the different types of potential earthquake hazards?

To be able to predict when an earthquake will occur

To know how to respond to an earthquake

To assess the risk of damage in a particular area

Why is it important to identify the elements exposed to a particular hazard?

To determine the likelihood of the hazard occurring

To assess the potential consequences of the hazard

To develop appropriate risk management strategies

What is the difference between a hazard and a vulnerability?

A hazard is a potential source of harm, while a vulnerability is a weakness in a system that could be exploited by a hazard.

A hazard is a weakness in a system, while a vulnerability is a potential source of harm.

There is no difference between a hazard and a vulnerability.

Both terms refer to the same thing.

What is the relationship between exposure and vulnerability?

Exposure is the condition of being subject to a hazard, while vulnerability is the susceptibility to harm from the hazard.

Exposure is the likelihood of a hazard occurring, while vulnerability is the potential consequences of the hazard.

Exposure is the potential consequences of a hazard, while vulnerability is the likelihood of a hazard occurring.

There is no relationship between exposure and vulnerability.

Identify the elements that are exposed to the hazard of flooding in a coastal community.

Buildings, infrastructure, and people

Only buildings and infrastructure

Recognize the vulnerabilities of agricultural crops exposed to drought.

Reduced yields, crop failure, and soil erosion

Differentiate between the hazards, exposure, and vulnerabilities in a wildfire scenario.

Hazard: wildfire; Exposure: forests and communities; Vulnerability: susceptibility to fire damage

Hazard: wildfire; Exposure: forests; Vulnerability: susceptibility to fire damage

Hazard: fire damage; Exposure: forests and communities; Vulnerability: wildfire

Hazard: wildfire; Exposure: susceptibility to fire damage; Vulnerability: forests and communities
