Multiple hazard hotspots


you need to know about both the Philippines and California as examples of multiple hazard hotspots. Use the template provided to create case study sheets for these two areas.


There is a lot of information on the web to help you. A sample to start with is here:


  • Disaster information from the Philippines
  • An excellent PowerPoint on the Philippines
  • An excellent map of the Philippines
  • Specifics on the natural hazards faced by California
  • A good summary of the issues facing California
  • Another good starting point for California
  • More from USGS on California

  • Search here for the region you have chosen and you will get a list of hazards
  • Go here for excellent maps for ALL countries and the hazards which affect them

That should be plenty to start with!
