This reading questionnaire is intended to introduce to a critical geologic hazard topic that we will not have time to cover in lecture. It addresses the more social aspects of hazards and disasters in general. Without an understanding of the concepts of risk, resilience, and vulnerability, it is difficult to make effective and meaningful use of the scientific understanding of the geologic hazards we have discussed this semester. Consequently, I am using this week's lab reading to address these issues. It is due by midnight on the due date. You can work on a questionnaire at any time during the semester. You need not complete a questionnaire in a single session. Rather you can navigate away from a questionnaire you are working on and return later to complete it or revise your previously entered answers. Click the Submit button only when you have completed the questionnaire and are ready to have it graded. You have two opportunities to answer a questionnaire. Before you do your second attempt, note which of your answers were correct and which incorrect. The system resets your form to a blank page at the start of your second attempt.

Questionnaires are automatically graded by the system so take care in composing your answers. Following these guidelines will improve your success rate in answering questions:

spell words correctly

use the structure of the sentence or question to determine if the answer should be plural or singular;

for fill in the blank questions, note the structure of the blanks. It indicates the number of words expected and their approximate relative lengths;

for multiple fill in the blank questions, the number in parenthesis after a square indicates the number of words expected

The reading for this questionnaire is: Etkin et al 2004.pdf (Chapters 3 and 5)
