- Q1
A coastal community is mapped as highly susceptible to tsunamis. What should be the first priority in disaster preparedness?
D. Encouraging residents to stay indoors when a tsunami warning is issued
B. Constructing high-rise buildings for tsunami protection
C. Relying on the sea’s natural defenses
A. Identifying and marking evacuation routes to higher ground
30s - Q2
After a powerful typhoon, local businesses struggle to reopen due to damaged infrastructure and disrupted supply chains. What economic impact does this situation illustrate?
A. Inflation due to increased demand
C. Strengthened local economy due to rebuilding efforts
D. Economic growth through international aid
B. Decreased productivity and loss of livelihood
30s - Q3
During an eruption, a dense, ground-hugging cloud of hot ash and gas rapidly moves down a volcano’s slope, covering everything in its path. What is this called?
D. Lava dome
C. Ashfall
B. Pyroclastic flow
A. Tephra fall
60s - Q4
A new earthquake hazard map highlights urban areas with older, unreinforced buildings. Why are these areas more vulnerable?
C. The community has access to early warning systems
A. The buildings are not designed to withstand strong ground shaking
B. The residents are well-informed about earthquake risks
D. The local government has strict building regulations
30s - Q5
A disaster-prone country allocates more funds to post-disaster relief rather than preventive measures such as early warning systems and risk assessments. What long-term effect could this decision have?
D. Reduced reliance on international aid
C. Strengthened resilience among communities
B. Increased economic losses and human casualties
A. More efficient disaster recovery efforts
30s - Q6
Following a volcanic eruption, heavy ashfall covers an entire town. What is the greatest health risk to the population?
A. Waterborne diseases from contaminated rivers
C. Skin irritation due to exposure to sulfur gases
B. Respiratory illnesses from inhaling fine ash particles
D. Psychological trauma due to the disaster
30s - Q7
After a magnitude 7.5 earthquake, a town near a river reports water levels dropping significantly. Based on this observation, what should residents prepare for?
A. A possible tsunami or seiche (water wave caused by seismic activity).
D. Increased agricultural productivity.
C. A new water source emerging from underground.
B. A sudden increase in groundwater availability.
30s - Q8
Residents near a volcano notice a sudden increase in the temperature of nearby hot springs and the drying up of rivers. What does this indicate?
D. Tephra fall
A. Ground rupture
C. Water formation changes
B. Ground deformation
30s - Q9
Scientists warn that a glacier in a mountainous region is melting rapidly due to climate change, increasing the risk of flash floods. What disaster mitigation strategy should be implemented?
D. Conducting more research while waiting for further developments
C. Planting more trees near the glacier to slow melting
A. Constructing artificial lakes to store excess meltwater
B. Relocating the local population to lower ground
30s - Q10
Which volcanic hazard can be predicted based on historical records and wind direction but remains difficult to measure precisely?
D. Lahar
A. Pyroclastic flow
B. Lava flow
C. Ashfall
30s - Q11
Which factor contributes most to the spread of a pandemic?
D. Economic inflation
C. Low population density
A. Poor healthcare systems
B. Natural disasters
30s - Q12
A new strain of a virus spreads globally, causing disruptions in trade, education, and healthcare. Which category does this disaster belong to?
A. Geophysical hazard
C. Technological hazard
B. Hydrometeorological hazard
D. Biological hazard
30s - Q13
A volcano hazard map shows that a town is located in the potential path of lava flows. What should the local government do to reduce disaster risk?
C. Rely on local myths to predict eruptions.
A. Establish permanent no-build zones in high-risk areas.
D. Encourage tourism to generate economic benefits.
B. Build concrete walls to stop lava from reaching the town.
30s - Q14
A volcanic hazard map shows that pyroclastic flows could reach a town within 15 kilometers of an active volcano. What is the best mitigation strategy for the community?
B. Relocating to a safer distance outside the hazard zone
A. Strengthening infrastructure to withstand pyroclastic flows
C. Planting more trees to slow down the lava flow
D. Ignoring the hazard map since the volcano has been inactive for years
30s - Q15
A newly built hospital is located near a fault line, as indicated in an earthquake hazard map. What should be the priority in ensuring its resilience to seismic activity?
D. Avoiding any evacuation plans since hospitals must remain operational.
B. Relying on emergency medical teams to respond after an earthquake.
C. Placing the hospital in an open field without any structural reinforcement.
A. Constructing the building with earthquake-resistant materials and designs.
