Even though people are aware that earthquakes and volcanoes typically occur in consistent regions, many make their homes in these locations. Unfortunately, history shows that it is only a matter of time before the next occurrence.
Perform some research on earthquake and volcano incidents that had a negative effect on people in a region. Select a disaster event where, despite the loss of life and property, the residents choose to rebuild rather than abandon the region.
1. Describe the event you selected, including:
- the type and magnitude of the event
- where it occurred
- when it occurred
- the various ways in which people were affected
- whether that type of disaster affects the region repeatedly
2. State your opinion regarding the following questions:
- Why do you think people continue to make the known dangerous area their home?
- Should governments allow people to live in known risk areas?
- Should insurance companies allow claims for damages incurred in known risk areas?
