  • Managing Tectonic Hazards
    • Prediction and Forecasting Frameworks
      • Getting Closer to Earthquake Forecasting and Prediction?
        • Earthquake risk is based on statistical likelihood
          • Data and evidence from global seismic monitoring networks and historical records
        • Long-term forecasts are more reliable
        • Forecasting encourages better building regulations and evacuation procedures
        • It is not possible to make an accurate prediction of when or where an earthquake will occur
        • Geophysicists are trying to improve prediction based on the underground movement of magma
    • Understanding the Hazard Management Cycle
      • Park's Model and Levels of Development
        • A framework that helps to understand the time dimensions of resilience
          • Hazard striking to when a place returns to normal
        • X-axis shows the time
        • Y-axis describes the quality of life, stability and infrastructure
    • The Range of Factors Affecting the Response to Hazards
      • Human Factors
        • Number of people involved
        • Degree of preparedness
        • Technological resources
        • Scientific understanding
        • Education and training
        • Economic wealth
        • Infrastructure
        • Government competence
      • Physical Factors
        • Accessibility
        • Type of hazard
          • Scale
          • Impact
          • Magnitude
          • Frequency
        • Topography
        • Climate
    • Understanding the Stages in the Disaster Response Curve
      • Pre-Disaster
        • Quality of life is normal
        • People prevent and prepare for such an event
        • The public are educated
      • Relief
        • Medical attention
        • Rescue services
      • Rehabilitation
        • People try to return to normal
        • Food, water and shelter are provided to those without
      • Reconstruction
        • Infrastructure, crops and property are invested in
