    The document summarizes the findings of a survey conducted to assess geological hazards in a community. The survey looked at 10 people's level of preparedness for earthquakes in areas like collecting information, speaking to disaster officials, creating emergency plans, assembling survival kits, and receiving training. The graphs show that 60% had collected information, but 60% had not spoken to officials or created plans. 50% planned to assemble kits and 40% planned training. The conclusion is that more awareness, education and preparedness is needed in the community to reduce earthquake risks and damage through mitigation measures.

    Earth and Life Science & General Mathematics
    Performance Task

    What do we mean by Geological Hazards? What comes into your mind when you hear
    those words?
    Geo – from the word ‘geological’ meaning from the earth.
    Hazard – a situation that poses a risk to property, environment or life.
    Geologic hazards are events which occur irregularly in time and space and cause
    negative impact on living organisms and the environment. These events involve the energy
    transformation of masses of soil, rocks, the lithosphere and water in various combinations and
    conditions.
    A geologic or geological hazard is an extreme natural events in the crust of the earth that
    pose a threat to life and property like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis (tidal waves)
    and landslides. Their non-rhythmic occurrence makes their predictability difficult and an
    important characteristic of many geologic hazards is their prime land preference—the
    characteristic of preferentially occupying areas targeted by man for his use. Geological hazard
    simply means the risk of damage caused by a geological process.

    As a geologist that is asked by the Local Disaster Risk Reduction Office to assess
    possible geological hazards of a community through a survey, here are the findings of my study
    which is shown in a graphical representation.

    DISCUSSION ABOUT THE GRAPHS AND
    RECOMMENDATIONS
    The graph shows the result of the survey I conducted in 10 people not just in the
    community I belong but also in other localities. I have also conducted the said survey
    outside of my locality for there are inadequate participants in my neighborhood that's why
    I have made my own strategy.

    To discuss about the findings of my survey, as I gather the all-in-all data I have realized
    that there are still people who have insufficient information about earthquake and not
    enough plans of surviving on this kind of geologic hazard. As you can see the first graph,
    around 60% of the 10 people have done collecting information about earthquake, 30%
    have not done and 10% plans to do. In the second chart which asks about speaking to a
    Disaster Management Representative of their area, around the 10 respondents there are
    60% who have not spoken to their Disaster Management Representative, 20% plans to do
    and both 10% for those who have done and not able to do. For the third chart which talks
    about preparing an emergency plan, 60% of the respondents plans to prepare an
    emergency plan, 30% have done and 10% have not done. In the fourth graph which talks
    about preparedness of disaster survival kits, around 50% of the respondents are planning
    to prepare for their survival kits while 30% have not done and 20% have done or have
    prepared their survival kits. Lastly in the fifth chart, "Have taken special training on
    earthquake drills", 40% are under the choice "I plan to do" meanwhile both 30% for those
    who have done and have not done. While gathering the data I've come to thought that
    many people are still unaware and unprepared about this kind of geologic hazard
    (Earthquake). Other people have inadequate knowledge about earthquake and the
    preparedness for this natural hazard. Man cannot prevent natural earthquakes from
    occurring but can mitigate their impacts or effects through identifying hazards, building
    safer structures, and by providing education on safety. So what are we going to do to
    reduce the disruptive impacts of a natural disaster on communities? Awareness, education,
    preparedness, and prediction and warning systems can be a big help and a solution for
    this. Mitigation measures such as adoption of zoning, land-use practices, and building
    codes are needed, however, to prevent or reduce actual damage from hazards. Through
    preparing for this geological hazards we can also reduce the risk of damages.
