Natural Hazards: Crash Course Geography #27
Рет қаралды 256,487
2 жыл бұрынToday we wrap up the first half of our series on physical geography by taking a closer look at natural hazards - which are physical processes like heat waves and cyclones, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and floods and droughts. And when these natural events cause significant harm to humans, we call them natural disasters. So today we'll explore the ways geographers analyze and track these events, and take a closer look at the human impact of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and The Boxing Day Tsunami on the Andaman and Nicobar islands.

The rules of the tsunami: If you are at the beach, and an earthquake strikes, strong enough that you can't stand or walk normally, get away from the sea as fast as you can, toward the hills or the tallest building. Don't wait for orders or official calls. If the quake was minor, but the waters noticeably and rapidly retire from the beach, same, and faster if possible. Same, if the waters just retire and it's not the time for the low tide. Even more so if there are news of an earthquake in a neighboring place. Don't stop to get your things. A tsunami can arrive in 15 minutes or even less. Some water and a blanket is all what you'll immediately need. When in a safe place, stay there for about 8 to 24 hours. After that, whatever could happen will have happened. Before that, it might be still risky to go back. Experience: In Chilean 2010 major earthquake and tsunami, most people in the affected coast, trusting our national instinct and lore, run to the hills. The government, at the moment badly informed about the quake's magnitude, told people there was no risk of tsunami, so they could go back to their houses. Many did. The tsunami got them. So, with all due respect toward all elected or not elected authorities, don't go back at least for a few hours. That was a bit of very hardly earned experience for you.

I think a lot of us in the Philippines have grown tired of the word resilience as it's used to wave away responsibilities and accountability in disaster risk reduction.

I live in Mississippi and surviving Katrina was - well it was something, I can say that much. A LOT of the Southeast US has tax problems and lacks decent infrastructure, and Katrina laid that bare for the entire world to see. I think things have gotten a little better in the years since, but there's still a heck of a way to go, because the most vulnerable people are STILL in the same position they were before; there's effort to help, but it's moving a mountain with a tablespoon measure. Great video - looking forward to Part Two of this series!

A lot of the the themes in this episode speak to social vulnerability a concept promulgated by Dr. Susan Cutter in her Hazards of place model. This was a good episode. A nice transition from physical geography to human geography. I'm more of a physical geographer but I hope human geography component is interesting in the coming weeks.

Watching this after the flooding in our area. The typhoon didn't even hit our area, but because of the continuous water release of the nearby dam. Our area which is a catch basin and a very low lying area was hit the hardest. 3 days after the highest water level was recorded and still some places are still flooded and water is yet to subside.

Chilean here. A saying: "It isn't the earthquake what kills you, it's the building falling on you." An aspect not touched here regarding disaster prevention was politics/government/regulations. In Chile we are considerably less worried about earthquakes' effects because there is an strict set of regulations about building. Take that into account when voting for your next authorities. In Chile, building regulations are not even an arguable subject, but maybe where you live there can be a choosing between candidates who propose costly disaster preventive regulations and others who prefer to save that money for other investments with a more immediate benefit. Choose wisely.

An example of disaster preparedness - I live in Wellington, NZ - earthquake prone and recently the building I work in was closed because it had an earthquake safety assessment and failed miserably - we are all working from home now and may not see the inside of the building again until 2024 due to earthquake strengthening. All buildings in the city have to meet certain standards regarding earthquakes specifically which is pretty cool

im biased since i live here but honestly id say the best place to live in the world is ontario canada. by extreme weather measures we only get heat waves cold waves and snowstorms which are usually not too too bad. Unlike teh states where pretty much no matter where uy live u get bad extreme weather like floods tornadoes etc. Yes u have to deal with four seasons (winter ugh) but if u want to live in a place where ur life isnt at risk by the freaking weather Ontario is the best.

I am Brazilian from Sao Paulo (close to Rio de Janeiro) currently living in Canada. Dude, there's no better place to live if it wasn't the shitty government. No tornados, no heat waves, not super cold days, no vulcans, no earthquakes, no wildfires smoke, water everywhere (like I can point u at least 5 spots in my neighborhood with natural water fountains), animals everywhere... anywhere in the centerish of Brazil from east to west would be a perfect choice. The only bad thing is the super high humidity that makes u sticky and thats why natives take 2-4 showers a day. The only super craaazy think is the tropical rain storms but it is only water and lightning.

I live in Florida and cat 5 hurricanes don't hurt as much as it does other states. That's if we get a cat 5, which isn't often. Other states are hurt more because lack of soil permeability. Florida is made of sand, water goes away fast so flooding doesn't usually happen outside of the coastal areas. Hurricanes cat 1-4 are usually just hunker down and have fun with your time off. Cat 5 is based on where the eye hits.

I live in the beautiful state of Michigan, and I’ve visited most of the Lakes, except for Superior and Lake Michigan. I love all of the states, and each one is unique to its own! There’s also many little lakes here in MI, too that are just as beautiful! But I really wanna live in either Canada or New Zealand, bc in NZ, there is so much land and animal diversity!! And I’ve already been to CA, so I know what some of it is like, and I wanna live there soooo badly! 😆

If you want a place free of almost all forms of natural disasters, plenty of access to fresh water, fertile soil and weather that rarely becomes extreme come to Zambia. Not only are we landlocked and far from costal regions, we are right in the middle of safe zone so no earthquakes or volcanoes. We are also the source of the Zambezi which is where the name Zambia comes from. Note: It's pronounced Zamb-e-zi with 'e' as in egg. I see a lot of nature doccies pronounce it wrong and it irks me lol

The irony is that hazard etymology is chance/randomness. At some point it stop being ''bad luck'' to get hit by a natural hazard, if the same hazard happens every single year in the same region... It should be called : natural what did you expect?
