Q

Then line out your conditions for what determines the effectiveness of tectonic hazard management

Report will look at certain measurements
Death toll + amount of property damaged = these two e.g. lower figure then more effective the management of tectonic hazard

Q

How can the management of tectonic hazards been seen?

A
Park Model (figure 1)
Highlights how development of county is high then management of tectonic hazard + relief, rehabilitation; reconstruction of county more likely to be quicker and better compared to county poorly developed 
Reasons why discussed later in report

Q

Therefore this report will highlight + discuss?

A

How level of development is key factor in determining the effectiveness of tectonic hazard management
Whilst also arguing other sides of factors such as location, magnitude then expand - that determine how effective tectonic hazard management is
