(There are opportunities for students to work together, or independently) Opportunity to discuss what factors at a local scale affect the nature of a natural hazard, its impacts and responses to it in relation to the local community. Students should reflect on how they completed the case studies above, then be given clear instructions and guidance about creating a detailed case study of one local place in a hazardous setting. Students could be encouraged to be creative in the method used to present their findings, but as a guide it should include the information listed in the previous column.
