21st century global response- UN, charities, armed forces
ADAM- reduced impacts- response times have been reduced by the development of the automatic disaster analysis and mapping system. A data base that pools information from the US geological survey world bank and world food programme. Access info and the scale what supplies are available locally and the local infrastructure
perception of a hazard
people react to the threat of a hazard in a different way because people receive and process information in different ways
-
Tsunami prediction
secondary hazard caused by a primary hazard- earthquake, submarine volcano, mass movement, meteor
predicting the primary hazard can predict a tsunami there are sensors on the sea bed alert for earthquake and surface buoys measure the depth of water.
substantial threat to life, threat to things that impact on life risk or property
human- explosions, gas leaks, deforestation
physical- volcanic eruptions, tsunami, earthquakes

-
Atmospheric hazard- caused by the earth's atmosphere and the processes that operate there ( drought, hurricanes, heatwaves)
hydro logical hazards- powered by water mainly oceans and rivers (tsunami, coastal surges, floods)
fatalism-hazards are natural events that are apart of living in an area, some communities say its gods will, actions are direct and concerned with safety. losses are accepted as inevitable people remain where they live.
Adaption- people prepare for and survive events by prediction, prevention, protection, depending on economic and technological circumstances in the area
Fear- people fell vulnerable, and no longer able to face living in the area and move away to regions unaffected
