HOW FAR DO WE NEED TO GO GLOBAL IN RESPONDING TO SEISMIC EVENTS? Discuss how countries respond to equakes – is it just LICs & NEEs that requie international response? – USGS – sharing data globally incl HICs / click map for recent responses

What is the relationship between disaster and response?

How to PEEL a 20 mark question … Knowledge of places and environments • • This is does not mean write all you know about a case study and hope that some of it is applicable to the question set. Case studies used must be developed (i. e. have some accurate detail), appropriate and, overall within the essay, balanced Over-emphasis on one case study is not sufficient. The best answers will integrate case studies as the argument progresses – elements of the case studies are cherry-picked to suit the purpose of the point being made. Knowledge and understanding of key concepts and processes o You are being marked on how relevant, detailed, thorough and accurate your knowledge of geographical content and theories are o Avoid sweeping generalisations and be prepared to give precise statements of content, knowledge or theory that underpin your point o However, do not give content for content sake – do not venture into areas which are irrelevant – be selective. Awareness of scale and temporal change Your essay needs to convey an awareness of different geographical scales. This could be: • Different levels of development i. e. LIC, NEE, HIC etc. • Change over time – past/present/future • Global scales – local/national/international Links between knowledge and understanding • You should aim to demonstrate your understanding of the connections that exist between different aspects of the subject. Geography is a naturally synoptic subject – it has the interconnection between Human and Physical Geography. • You need to show your ability to ‘think like a geographer’ • You could make comments that recognise the influence of different people’s values, attitudes, culture, wealth etc. and the influence of different groups of people such as governments (local, national and international), NGO’s, religion etc. Analysis and evaluation o o This section is looking for some degree of commentary from you –it may be a sentence, or a phrase – where you are putting your own ‘spin’ on that knowledge. You may comment on what you think or what others think You could disagree with a theory You might evaluate different causes and effects, weighing them up against each other § § Conclusion You should make sure that you end your essay with a clear conclusion. This should draw together all of your ideas and end with a summative statement, or a set of summative statements, in response to the question set. Do not introduce any new ideas at this stage. Ensure there is a clear link back to the task, and your argument appears to be complete.

‘The Disaster Response Curve (The Park Model) has contributed to improved understanding and therefore management of the impact of tropical storms. ’ To what extent do you agree with this view? KEY POINTS TO PEEL: 1. HELPS TO VISUALISE THE IMPACT OF THE HAZARD ALLOWING COMPARISONS WITH OTHER EVENTS; AS WELL AS AN EASIER WAY TO UNDERSTAND THE ABILITY TO IDENTIFY SPECIFIC FACTORS THAT MAY POTENTIALLY WORSEN THE IMPACT. 2. PROVIDES AN INDICATION OF THE RATE OF RECOVERY AND IMPACT ON QUALITY OF LIFE AND ALLOWS FOR THE POSSIBLITY THAT Q OF L MAY HAVE INFACT IMPROVED FOLLOWING A HAZARD EVENT. 3. PM CAN BE APPLIED TO A RANGE OF HAZARD EVENTS TO ANALYSE THROUGH TIME THOUGH IS LIMITED SPATIALLY; PARTICULARLY IF A HAZARD AFFECTS A NUMBER OF AREAS E. G. TACLOBAN – CONTINUED THROUGH TO VIETNAM & CHINA = NOT FULL PICTURE
