 Unit 1 – Hazard Map
• Identify and locate regions within the map that are susceptible
to hazards.

• Choose three top hazards in your mapping area (you can

include more if you would like).

• Use one map (slide) per hazard. Label the slide with the hazard.
Draw shaded (but 60% transparent) shapes around the hazard
area in each map (use a different color for each hazard).

• Combine hazard shapes (copy and paste) onto a single map

slide (make sure to align the shapes properly), and include a key
and cite sources.
