A.

Name of the hazard: Earthquake

B. Nature of the hazard: An earthquake is sudden ground movement caused by the
sudden release of energy stored in rocks. Earthquakes happen when so much
stress builds up in the rocks that the rocks rupture. The energy is transmitted
by seismic waves.
C. Picture:

D. Causes: Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly

breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves
that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing
against each other, they stick a little When the rocks break,
the earthquake occurs.
E. Impacts: Earthquakes sometimes trigger tsunamis, landslides and occasionally
volcanic activity. Earthquakes impact on food security and agriculture-based
livelihoods through: loss and injury of family members and workforce. loss of crop
yields and livestock.
F. Preventive Measures:
 Seek shelter under stable tables or under door frames.
 If outside, stay away from buildings, bridges and electricity pylons and move to open
areas.
 Avoid areas at risk from secondary processes, such as landslides, rockfall and soil
liquefaction.
A. Name of the hazard: Fire
B. Nature of the hazard: Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic
chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products.
The flame is the visible portion of the fire. Flames consist primarily of carbon dioxide,
water vapor, oxygen and nitrogen.
C. Picture:

D. Human Error represents a common cause of fires in the workplace, be it the

incorrect use of electrical equipment, burning food or leaving cooking unattended in
the staff kitchen as well as lack of proper care or knowledge of procedures around
flammable or combustible liquids and materials. Fire safety training is invaluable to
avoid this.
E. Impacts: But fire can be deadly, destroying homes, wildlife habitat and timber, and
polluting the air with emissions harmful to human health. Fire also releases carbon
dioxide, a key greenhouse gas into the atmosphere. Fire's effect on the landscape
may be long-lasting.
F. Preventive Measures:
1. Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside bedrooms and outside
sleeping areas.
2. Test smoke alarms every month.
3. Talk with all family members about a fire escape plan and practice the plan twice
a year.
4. If a fire occurs in your home, GET OUT, STAY OUT and CALL FOR HELP.
