Lesson 16 - Response to Tectonic Hazards
The Park Model
a model which chows how a country or region might respond after a hazard event
it can be used to directly compare how areas at different levels of development might recover from a hazard event
the recovery stage depends on
the magnitude of the disaster - bigger means longer
development level - lower means longer, as poorer people are more severely affected
governance - well governed places will divert resources more effectively to recovery efforts
external help e.g. aid and financing to help the recovery
Stage 1
modifying the cause and event
development
physical geography
population density
Stage 2
hazardous event
time of day/week
distance from epicentre
communication
Stage 3
search, rescue and care
access to resources
response rates
effectiveness
Stage 4
relief and rehabilitation period - may include outside help (national or international)
outside help
housiing
Stage 5
nature of recovery related to:
the need to reduce vulnerability
the need to restore normality as soon as possible
mitigation
warning systems
the impact of a tectonic hazard can be seen to vary over time. when a hazard event strikes it disrupts economic and social life, often immediately and totally
