A clearly laid out worksheet in which students create their own Hazard Management Plan for a natural hazard of their choice. This worksheet follows the themes of monitoring, prediciton, planning and protection. First students chose a hazard, describe it and state its main effects. They then draw a diagram to show how their hazard is monitored. Finnally, they come up with a management plan on what should happen if their hazard occured (e.g. evacuation plans, protecting buildings, education of locals etc.) Estimated to take 15 - 25 minutes to complete.
