Disaster Mitigation

As we are learning about Earthquakes right now, we are learning that disaster mitigation is an important part of dealing with natural disasters, such as earthquakes. The students are writing a Disaster Mitigation Essay, which once completed, they will carry with them to class every day. Should a disaster ever occur during class –a disaster occurs when a random set of numbers (www.random.org) appears on the screen as 00. Then they have to turn to the essay that they’ve been carrying to mitigate the disaster and in the process earn extra credit points. If they aren’t prepared for the disaster, i.e. they don’t have their essay on them when the disaster occurs, then they die (they don’t get the extra credit points).
