Explain how geographic hazards can impact communities.

• Geographic hazards only affect individual households

• By causing destruction of infrastructure and loss of lives.

• Geographic hazards have no impact on communities

• Communities benefit from geographic hazards

How can technological hazards be mitigated?

• By not having emergency response plans in place

• By ignoring safety protocols and maintenance

• By implementing safety protocols, conducting regular maintenance, providing training, using monitoring systems, and having emergency response plans.

• By providing inadequate training and using outdated systems
