Select a hazard described in chapters three and four that interests you. Use internet media search engines (news.google.com) or disaster websites (e.g.,www.reliefweb.int) to find a recent example of a disaster caused by this hazard.
Write a 1-page paper addressing the following:
The type of hazardThe country where the disaster occurredThe consequences of the eventThe cause of the event (e.g., excessive rainfall caused the flood; an earthquake caused the landslide)Any secondary disasters that occurred because of the eventWas any warning possible? Was a warning issued?Any interesting facts about the eventA URL that provides a link to more information about the disaster

Unit IV Project
Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment Project
Be sure to read all of the instructions. There are two documents to be prepared and submitted.
1. Following steps 1-11 of the Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment Guide in the course textbook (pp. 171-174), develop a risk assessment for a serious workplace hazard with which you are familiar, or use Addendum D to Chapter 11 (pp. 202-206) to help you select a hazard. Evaluate the hazard and its associated risks, and then complete the Hazard Analysis and Risk Analysis Project form (click here to access this form). To complete the Initial Risk Assessment and Post Control Risk Assessment sections, use the following codes based on the Risk Assessment Matrix in Table 11.10 (p.180) of the textbook:
SEVERITY:  1 – Catastrophic  2 – Critical  3 – Marginal  4 – Negligible
PROBABILITY (Likelihood of Occurrence):  A – Frequent  B – Probable  C – Occasional  D – Remote  E – Improbable
RISK CODE:  H – High  S – Serious  M – Medium  L – Low
All sections of the form must be completed. Note that the “Post Control Risk Assessment Measures” section reflects the risk assessment AFTER applying the additional control measures.
2. In a separate document of at least 500 words, explain the reasoning behind how you filled out each section of the form. Use references as needed to support the discussion.
