| The
origin, frequency and scale of the hazards. |
· In Los Angeles the following hazards could be considered:earthquakes;Tsunamis/coastal floods;river floods;fires;mud and landslides;smog; burglary/gang warfare;AIDS;racial tension/violence. | |
| The effects of the hazards on the physical, built and human environments. | · Direct inter-relationships between hazards: earthquakes trigger landslides; fires remove vegetation which leads to greater run-off and risk of river flooding; earthquakes and Tsunamis. | |
| The extent to which the hazards can be predicted and/or prevented. |
· Inter-relationships based upon a central factor. Urban sprawl could be linked to several hazards, for example; |
|
| Types
of response to the hazards, varying from fatalism to reaction, protection
and prevention. Individual or collective responses, hazard management
