Description

Instructions: Choose a natural hazard that interests you. (Greensburg Kansas Tornado 2007 is topic I chose) Ask yourself this question: should humans voluntarily live in an area that is subject to this natural hazard? Examples may include building homes in the wild land-urban interface (wildfire hazard), on the coastline (tsunamis or hurricanes), or on a floodplain (flood hazard).

Research the different sides of the issue and think about your position on the issue. Write a position paper based on the guidelines outlined on page 3. There is a 6-page minimum for the paper. Your cover page and reference page are in addition to the 6-page minimum. Pictures may be included in an appendix only and do not count toward the 6-page minimum. Papers under six pages will lose 10 points per page under the minimum specified.

Proper referencing and citation guidelines must be followed. I require APA style for your citations. I will be using “Turnitin” which is plagiarism detection software to check all papers. A score of 0 for the paper will harshly penalize plagiarism.
