Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: True

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Here is a sample response:
Ive always wanted to live in San Francisco, but the danger of earthquakes is very high. Even though the damage due to earthquakes is low, a quake in the city would be very dangerous. I will pick Sacramento, where the danger of a catastrophic earthquake is lower, but still be close enough to visit the city often.

I would live in Phoenix, since my fathers family is from there. Drought and heat will be my biggest concerns. I should make sure that I have a way of storing water for drinking in a long drought, and maybe choose a house that is designed to be cool without always using the air conditioner. I should definitely learn about any other steps I should take to avoid problems.

A successful answer must:
- connect a city with a hazard reasonable for the area.
- present at least one clear way of mitigating the effect of the disaster, and
- demonstrate that the student is proposing a reasonable balance between positive factors and the type and scope of disaster.
