Paragraph 7.4: 

SOURCES: DEALING WITH NATURAL DISASTERS

Hazard management

This is a system to prevent damage from natural disasters.
Hazard management has three aspects: setting up warning systems, construction measures and disaster plans.


Hazard= gevaar
Management= beheer

Predicting volcanic eruption

These are signs that a volcano is going to erupt: 

-rising magma causes earthquakes

-temperatures in the surrounding area increase

-the surface of the volcano changes. 

The volcano gives off more sulphur and makes noise.

Predicting earthquakes

Seismologists make maps of areas where there is a risk of earthquakes. 

On the basis of maps, evacuation plans are made, and buildings and pipes are made earthquake-proof.

 

Predicting tsunamis

When there is a seaquake, theposts located around the warningsystem are informed.The authorities can evacuatepeople from the areas that are atrisk.

Predicting typhoons

Meteorologists can see fromsatellite images when atyphoon is forming. They try to predict the routeof the hurricane. This is noteasy, so it is often difficult todecide if people have to be

evacuated.
