Flashcards: Reduction of Weather-Related Hazards

Sharon and Mike are building a new home on a piece of land they just bought. It is located next to a large river in an area that floods several times a year. The flooding is caused by heavy rain or melting snow upstream. When the floodwaters rise, the owners are unable to enter the home. They have come home and had to walk through water to get into the house. If the water enters the house, it damages not only their things but the structure of the house, and it all must be replaced.

What is the weather-related hazard that Sharon and Mike face?

Your answer:

Tornadoes

Your answer:

Mudslides

Your answer:

Earthquakes

Correct answer:

Flooding

Explanation:

Sharon and Mike are in a tough situation because of flooding. This weather-related hazard can happen very quickly and cause severe damage to property and even injuries or casualties. As the river overflows, the water runs into the nearby communities, and homeowners are at risk of losing everything.

Flashcards: Reduction of Weather-Related Hazards

Sharon and Mike don’t want to move somewhere else. They hire a team of builders and give them the following requests: the house must remain safe and dry, they want to be able to enter if the water is high, and they want to be able to see the river from their home.

Which solution would meet their criteria?

Build a third floor to the house

Build the house on stilts

There is no solution, Sharon and Mike must move.

Build the house further inland, so there is less flooding

Your answer:

Correct answer:

Build the house on stilts

Explanation:

The criteria that Sharon and Mike set was specific ad needs to be followed when designing a solution. Moving the house further inland or not building at all are two solutions that do not meet the criteria. Making a third level would help with the views and keeping them on the property, but it would not address the flooding. Building the house on stilts would be a solution that meets all of their needs.
