Knowing Earthquake Hazards and Risk Reduction
Storyboard Text
- A magnitude 6.6 earthquake shook Cataingan, Masbate on Tuesday morning, causing damage to several establishments in the area and its neighboring provinces but authorities aren't warning people to prepare for aftershocks. On the next news, there is Jamilla to deliver a message about commonly used methods of reducing earthquake risks... Jam?
- Yes, Kim. Thank you! Good morning everyone here is some methods for us to let us know are some ways to prevent or reduce the risks of an earthquake.1. Effective ground motion recording and interpretation. This helps in the provision of alerts and warnings, particularly to high-risk or vulnerable areas for emergency preparation and response.
- 2. Creating seismic hazard maps It serves as the foundation for disaster management information such as evacuation areas and routes. The peak acceleration or peak velocity is a number that represents the expected intensity of ground shaking. 3. Creating strong structures. Conferring resistance structures can withstand collapse by redistributing seismic wave forces through shear walls. Creating engineered structural designs that can withstand the forces generated by seismic waves can be accomplished by following building codes based on hazard maps or by using appropriate analysis methods.
- That's all for now. I hope you discovered something today and will apply it to your life in order to be prepared and avoid danger and disasters. Always remember, Faith without work is dead. God bless you all!
- That's it, did you learned something today Princess? The news reporter mentioned some methods for us to use to reduce earthquake risks and knowing it is very significant in our life.
- I have learned many things, ways and methods Mom. Thank God that he gave us more knowledge about earthquake and methods to reduceits risks.
- You are right Priness that is why we need to appreciate the value of knowing earthquake hazards and risk reduction. For now, we should eat and do our tasks for today.
- Okay Mom. Thanks for all the lessons today! We should eat, I'm already hungry.
