Across
- 5. - increasing people’s awareness of the potential hazards associated with storms, wildfires, etc and through their actions minimise the likely impact of the hazard.
- 8. - X hazards:hazards driven by processes at work in the atmosphere, for example, tropical storms, droughts
- 10. - X hazards: hazards driven by water bodies, mainly the oceans, for example, floods, storm surges, tsunamis
Down
- 1. - an acceptance that hazards are natural events that we can do little to control and losses have to be accepted
- 2. - accepting that natural events are inevitable and changing our behaviour accordingly
- 3. - attempts to use remote sensing and seismic monitoring to work out if any potential activity may lead to a disaster and need to be acted upon
- 4. - X hazards:hazards driven by the Earth’s own internal energy sources,for example, plate tectonics, volcanoes, seismic activity.
- 6. - actions aimed at preventing large-scale events from starting(if possible), for example wildfires.
- 7. - the threat of substantial loss of life, substantial impact upon life or damage to property that can be caused by an event
- 9. - actions aimed at reducing the severity of an event and lessening its impact, which can involve direct intervention or post-event support in the form of aid and insurance.
