How do you understand the Disaster Crunch Model? You can see that lessening the impact of a disaster requires a lot more work than just identifying and managing hazards, we also must look at the causes of vulnerability for the different groups who will be impacted. Relate the framework to this case study from New Zealand (see https://www.preventionweb.net/files/workspace/7935_phibbsdisability.pdf ).

please use the information from this case study to summarize and discuss the components of the model: describe the disaster and identify the specific hazards faced by this vulnerable group, root causes, dynamic pressures, unsafe conditions, and then how these relate to each other. I want you to use the case study to show how this model works and relates to real events.

You are encouraged to review the rubric and incorporate a relevant graphic for this assignment so that your audience has a visual to relate to as you describe the model but it is not an assignment requirement.

You do not have to create a graphic model, but you will use that model in terms of applying that concept to the case study, and then describing how you see the model relates to the case study. If you are including a graphic, a penalty would not be assessed if you go over the page count as graphics need to be a certain size to be effectively read and understood.
