| Orting Town | Back | |
| Draw a sketch map of the
site of Orting in colour. Mark on your sketch map: River Carbon, River
Puyallup (adding direction of flow arrows), the outline of Orting town, the proposed site of the new
school, the flood plain, the bluffs, a road route to safety. Describe the exact site of the town. Add labels to show why it is really vulnerable to some volcanic hazards. Extra research - do we know - How often does the main hazard occur? When was the last incident? What caused the last incident? In the disaster what will be the first structure to be damaged. How would that leave Orting? Show high risk and safer areas and explain why you think these areas are 'high risk' or 'safer'. |
