Resource Requisition | Inquiry

  All natural disasters start from bad weather. The materials that are suitable against a volcano eruption are: steel door, chicken wire, aluminum sheets, and concrete walls.

The steel door was to get in and out of the shelter when a natural disaster starts or finishes. This material has been chosen because steel is strong. 

The concrete walls are out for the base of the shelter and the roof.  This material has been  chosen to protect against lava because it provides a strong foundation for an emergency shelter. 

The aluminum was used for the inside layer to stop lava from coming in.  This material was chosen because aluminum is strong. 

The chicken wire was used to hold the shelter together and extra protection against lava. 

This material has been chosen to protect against volcanic eruptions because it can give the structure more protection and strength against lava.

 Lots of materials can help protect against different types of natural disasters.

Risk Assessment

 LI.to assess consequences.

I learnt to rate the list of situations. As a group we looked at five different risk definitions. The five risk definitions

are low, likely, possible, elevated, and extreme.

First we read the situation. Then we had to figure out what rating. we would gi up to  five One is low risk and five is

extreme risk. 

Next we wrote the consequences for each situation. This means we listed everything that could’ve happened. 

Then we came up with different types of situations. We made three situations for the five different risks ratings. 

I learned that everything has a risk.
