- Why choose to live next to hazardous areas
- people living in poverty have other things to worry about like daily basic needs e.g. money, food, security and family
- earthquake and volcanic eruption do not happen often
- some people may not be aware of the risk of living close to plate margin
- plate margin often coincide with very favorable areas for settlement, e.g. coastal areas where ports are developed
- volcanoes can bring benefits e.g. fertile soil, rocks for buildings, rich minerals , hot water
- better building design that can withstand earthquake people feel less at risk
- more effective monitoring of volcanoes and tsunami waves enabling people to receive warning and evacuate before events happen
