park model advanatge and example 2 (3) correct answer: -Post event reconstruction can also be applied onto the model
-Sichuan the mistakes regarding

standard were recognised and all public buildings were either retrofitted or rebuilt to be able to withstand
earthquakes of similar intensities to that was experienced in 2008.
-This then led to an improvement of quality of life to above pre-disaster levels.
comparison of hmc and disadvanatge (2) correct answer: -It could be argued that Hazard management model could also be applied to the Sichuan earthquake;
however,this model focuses on the management of the natural hazard before and after the event.
-It only implicitly provides any understanding of the impacts of the events before and after the event and does not directly link to quality of life.
hazard management cycle comparison and disadvanatge contrasting and advantage of hmc (3) correct answer: -Despite this weakness, a strength of this model is that it highlights that hazards are repetitive events and
-therefore the impacts from a seismic event can be followed by other events that continue to test the
management of a situation
-and have the potential to further test the resilience of a community and therefore
further degrade the quality of life.

introduction (4) correct answer: -The Park model (1991), which also goes by the name 'disaster response curve', helps to show the impacts of
hazards on the quality of life over a period of time.
-It examines how quality of life will change from pre-
disaster to the hours, days, weeks and years after the event.
-In contrast to this, the hazard management cycle
examines management of hazards in a revolving manner.
-It illustrates the ongoing process by which
governments, business and society plan for and reduce the risk of disasters before, during and after the hazard
has taken place.
park model advantage 1 (2) correct answer: -In regard to understanding the impacts of seismic hazards, the Park Model helps to create a clear visual
representation that helps to show how the quality of life changes in response to the hazard.
-This therefore allows us to compare the pre-disaster situation, to the disruption during and directly after the hazard as well as how relief, rehabilitation and eventual reconstruction can lead to a reduction of these impacts. [Show Less]
