Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Vulnerabilities are social, economic, physical, or environmental factors that increase individual or community susceptibility to the effects of hazards or that inhibit ability to expect, manage, or recover from a disaster. Disaster occurs as a result of an event where normal conditions of existence are disrupted, and the level of suffering exceeds the capacity of the hazard-affected community to respond to it. A vast ecological breakdown occurs when, in the relation between humans and their environment, a serious or sudden event happens on such a scale that the stricken community needs extraordinary efforts to cope with it, often with outside or international aid. A hazard occurs when an event has the potential to cause disruption or damage to the community (e.g., earthquake, flood, typhoon, or cyclone).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Uniform resource locator is the term for an internet address, and it is shown on your browser in the locator bar. The URL provides clues about the origin of the website, whether it is a commercial (.com), educational (.edu), government (.gov), or organization (.org) site.

Answer to Question 3

Ans: D
When checking for credibility and accuracy, the best question to ask is: Is the information true, and can you confirm it with at least two other sources? Asking who wrote the information and whether the website shows institutional affiliation can help in evaluating the author. When checking for currency, the question to ask is: When was this information last updated?
