Technology is the best way to reduce the impact of an earthquake. To what extent do you agree with this view? Technology can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used to manage the hazard as well as the vulnerability and loss.

One method of reducing the impact is by managing the vulnerability. One of the main

Mother Nature Recent floods in the Sun City are an excellent example of "fooling with Mother Nature." Arroyos are creek beds that are usually dry and covered with plants and trees; they also attract wildlife in search of food and shelter.

Enki and Atrahasis‚ two of the main characters in the flood story (one god and one human)‚ gain a mutual respect that displays the proper relationship between humans and the divine

Being a member of the Findlay OH community it has come to my attention how much damage rain and water can do. While our city has tried many different options such as sand bags. Built 3 reservoirs‚ and stopped building new houses in flood zones it just seems like none of them work.

In my opinion we have a couple of choices of ways to get around ruining our homes and
