Perceptions of a hazard
People have different viewpoints of how dangerou hazards are and what risk they pose - this is based on lifestyle factors such as economic and cultural factors
Wealth can affect how much risk a hazard poses. Some wealthy people may consider is a smaller risk because they can recover easier and have access to evac routes however some wealthy people may consider that they have more to lose as their property value may be higher
Experience also has an affect - Kate R Price describes that people that have experienced hazards have a more optimistic view about the future because they have a 'lightning never strikes the same place twice' mentality

religion and beliefs also affects a person's view on hazards - some people may believe it is not a negative things as god intended it to happen
A potential threat to human life and property caused by an event - a natural disaster occurs when a vulnerable population is hit by a hazard
Park model Response
The Park Model Response (1991) also known as the disaster response curve, provides a visual representation of a line that is dictated by the quality of life in the weeks, days and hours leading up to or following an event. The Park Model can be split up into 3 stages; relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction.
The steepness of the line shows the speed of the deterioration and the depth shows the level of deterioration. This model is very simplified and therefore provides an abridged understanding of the event and the recovery period after the event.
