Questions:

 How do hazards affect humans?

 What are the worst possible things that could go wrong?
 As a student, what are the prudent practices necessary to minimize the risk of
exposure to the hazards?
 Abstraction

The teacher will discuss the elements of disaster risk, estimating disaster risk,
and the use of maps to minimize the levels of disaster risk.

Application

Students will make a poster that promotes awareness of the dangers of hazards to
humans, relating the three elements – hazard, vulnerability, and exposure.
