normal human life‚ including environmental‚ social‚ economic‚ political‚ and biological systems (Bankoff 2004:10). To understand why disasters have such wide ranging affects and how we can effectively manage them‚ we must understand the concepts of hazard‚ risk and vulnerability. Risk in regard to disaster is the likelihood or probability of harmful consequences happening; awareness of risk gives us the ability to define what could happen in the future‚ based on a range of possible outcomes. The ability

A hazard is a situation that poses a level of threat to life‚ health‚ property‚ or environment. There is a very big difference that helps prepare for a volcanic hazard and that is whether you are in a MEDC or a LEDC. In a MEDC monitoring volcanic zones and potential hazards is an option many LEDC’s don’t have. In Italy at Mt Etna they have Geochemical monitoring programs currently run by INGV which focus on the analysis of temporal changes‚ chemical changes and seismic activity. This option open

The emission of POISONOUS GASES rather than the direct effects of lava flows or ash showers are the greatest reason for loss of life. An example is the eruption from the Laki volcano in 1783 (see first link below) in which an estimated 25% of the population of Iceland was killed. "The system erupted over an 8 month period during 1783-1784 from the Laki fissure and the adjoining Grímsvötn volcano‚ pouring out an estimated 14 km3 (3.4 cu mi) of basalt lava and clouds of poisonous hydrofluoric

Question 1: Consumer Theory 1.1: In both the Marshallian and Hicksian consumer optimisation problems‚ it is assumed that consumers are supposed to be rational. The main focus of these problems are cost minimisation and utility maximisation‚ which play a huge part in consumer demand‚ but in real life‚ these are not the only problems that are considered. Also‚ it is assumed that every consumer’s indifference curve for two goods would be the same – they are very generalised models‚ and do not take
