|
|
Term
|
Definition

|
|
Term
|
Definition

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| conditions that limit the design solution or that could prevent the solution from being accomplished |
|
|
Term
| What technology and/or techniques are used for the mitigation plans |
|
Definition
| Seismometers, tiltometer, rain gauge |
|
|
Term
| what are the three steps to the Mitigation Plan |
|
Definition
| Step one. Identify a need step two. Develop criteria and constraints step three propose solutions |
|
|
Term
| Name and explain each of the four steps to a natural hazard mitigation plan |
|
Definition
| Step one. Identify need step two. Develop criteria and constraints step three. propose solutions step four. Evaluate solutions. The need varies with the stage of mitigation. A proposed solution must meet the important criteria and all of the constraints of the engineering problem. Criteria may be sorted into “necessary“ and “desirable“ elements |
|
|
Term
| give an example for each step of the MITIGATION plan for earthquakes, floods, volcanoes |
|
Definition
| Number one. Earthquakes. I need in a place where earthquakes occur might be to build a stronger building to protect us family or individual people or animals and/or develop technology to reduce the amount of shaking. Number 2. floods. They need might be to educate people and train them another constraint would be to. elevate the buildings or build them on higher ground. Number three. Volcanoes need: educate people individuals on what they should do if a volcano occurs prepare by planning an evacuation route or escape routes |
