The purpose of this assignment is to apply what you have learned this semester to your own place of residence. I want you to use the address where you are currently living to draft a report to answer the following questions, if possible.
1. Are there any __________ hazards here or near here? If so, what are they? How serious a threat are any of these hazards? How often does it/they occur? Is anything being done to prevent damage to your residence if this hazard were to occur there? If so, what are the preventions? If not, what could be done?
2. Fill in the above blank with earthquake, flooding, mass wasting and report on each one answering all the above questions for each hazard.
3. See if there are any resources that might be mined there like oil, natural or groundwater. This may be more difficult to find and do not spend a lot of time on this part.
Focus most of your attention on the hazards part of the assignment. Consult the websites that have links under this assignment. This is a good starting place, but by no means the only the websites to check. Use these as a starting point.
