Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.119 Hazard Maps and Data Interpretation skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the final synthesis hazard graphic. Which claim best uses all three evidence layers: hazard probability, exposure, and vulnerability?

ASector 1 has highest priority because it has low probability and sparse housing

BSector 2 has the highest priority because high flood probability overlaps dense housing and low vehicle access.

CSector 3 has highest priority because it has dense housing but low flood probability and high vehicle access

DSector 4 has highest priority because it has no mapped probability data

Solution & Explanation:A strong evidence-based hazard claim integrates the hazard layer with exposure and vulnerability. Sector 2 has the clearest overlap of high probability, dense housing, and limited access.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which explanation is most aligned to analyzing hazard maps and data rather than simple recall?

AThe west valley is important because it is printed in the largest font on the map.

BAll valleys have the same risk because they share the word valley.

CDebris flows are dangerous because the vocabulary list says they are dangerous.

DThe west valley should be prioritized because the map shows high debris-flow probability overlapping dense housing and the table shows limited evacuation routes.

Solution & Explanation:The best explanation uses multiple evidence layers: probability, exposure, and evacuation constraints. It makes a supported claim rather than relying on recall or map appearance.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A relocation proposal moves residents from a high-flood-hazard neighborhood to a lower-hazard area but farther from public transit and jobs. Which evaluation best fits evidence-based hazard planning?

AThe proposal lowers flood exposure but should also evaluate social and economic vulnerability created by the move.

BTransit and jobs are unrelated to vulnerability or recovery.

CThe proposal should be rejected because no hazard mitigation can have tradeoffs.

DThe proposal is automatically best because physical hazard is the only relevant evidence.

Solution & Explanation:Hazard planning can reduce physical exposure while creating other vulnerabilities. Evidence-based evaluation considers safety, access, recovery, and community impacts.
