NATURAL DISASTERS in DBH3

You are working and analysing different natural catastrophes, their causes and consequences and how to prevent them in the future.

Do the following task:

• Bring into class the questionaire "Case study" you have used when analysing the natural catastrophe (Earthquake in Bam (Iran), Hurricane Mitch in Central America, the Earthquake in California or the Floods in Europe)
• Answer those questions. You can get the neccessary information from the following source.
  
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake
  
• Once you have the necessary information, write a DRAFT (zirriborroa) which follows this pattern:
  
  
• Introduction
• Characteristics of the place where the tsunami took place. Geographic setting, main economic activity ...
• Consequences of the natural disaster: on people, infraestructure, economy ...
• What measures should be taken to prevent such a devastating phenomenom in the future.
  
  (Later you are going to use this draft for a speaking activity which is going to be marked)
  (Do it in a word document and send it to your teacher's gmail).
