answer in 2-4 sentences.
Q7)

flood could happen in 2001?

flood could happen in 2001?
Q9)
The Susquehanna River in Harrisburg has data that goes back to 1892. Following the 1972
Hurricane Agnes flood, the Army Corp of Engineers raised the levees around Harrisburg.
Why do you think the USGS only plot data starting in 1975 to compute the 100-yr flood?
Q10)
In June of 2006 a large flood affected the Mid-Atlantic region. The Susquehanna River in
Harrisburg reached the peak discharge of 80,000 cfs. Based on the data set from 1975 to
2000 what was the recurrence time of such a flood? Given this event, compute the new
recurrence time for the peak discharge that was the rank 1 flood. How does this compare
with your answer to question 8?
Q11)
What is the difference between Figure 1 and Figure 2? How can you use them to explain
the difference between a Natural Hazard and a Natural Disaster? What part of these
diagrams is a geographer concerned with and what art is a geologist concerned with?

Q13)

this scenario?
Q14)
Choose 1 of the 2 following scenarios and make an Emergency Management Plan based
on the four phases of Emergency Management as defined by FEMA (Can also be found in
the powerpoints).
Scenario 1:
You are a city officer in Tampa in October of 2017 just after the devastation of Hurricane
Irma. Though Tampa was not hit as badly as other regions in the path of the hurricane,
the residents saw that the damage was still bad, leaving parts of Tampa without power or
water for 7-10 days. Your new task given to you by the Head of the Office for Emergency
Management, is to develop a new Emergency Management plan.
Scenario 2:
it is 1986, in the aftermath of the Armero tragedy. You work for the Columbia Geological
Survey (SGC) and have been paired with a city officer to create a new Emergency
Management Plan in light of recent events.
This response should be thorough and explicit. Be sure to address all four phases of
Emergency Management
Q15)
Q16)
List any 2 events from one of your previous disaster diary entries and describe where and
when it happened, as well as the response and recovery efforts. (Be sure to expand upon
what you have already gathered, in other words, see if anything has changed since you
last wrote about it.)
(HInt: You can use this work for your Disaster Diary Summary! So save it where you have
access to it!)
