Read the following discussion and give response on it:

I chose multiple different scenarios until i was finally successful in one. I had the best results in the tsunami scenario which i was surprised about because i have never actually experienced a tsunami. I always chose the easy level regardless of which scenario i chose since i wasn't exactly sure how it was going to be. I believe one of my errors trusted the risk map. I had many homes in the wildfire scenario that had 0% risk and were away from any trees or dry grass, and yet those same houses still ended up going under in flames. With wildfires, they are always very unpredictable, so if your community is prone to wildfires, you need to be prepared for everything. I also found the flood scenario to be difficult because you needed to protect everyone from the water, but then you also needed to protect farm land and wells which can become expensive very quickly. This exercise opened my eyes into many different things. It showed that although certain things are obvious that need to be changed and upgraded before a disaster, there are also some things that are going to be out of your control. In real life, you can't go around demolishing people's houses and moving them to higher locations, so depending on which areas you're looking at, they might not be protectable. As i was playing, i thought that it was fairly easy and i would not have many damages or people hurt/killed because it seemed like i protected my communities well. After the disasters hit, however, i was proved wrong. Nothing is ever like you think it is going to be around the time of a disaster.
